Information Gathering: Cypher excels at gathering information for the team. His Spycam can be placed in strategic locations to observe enemy movements, and his Trapwires provide valuable intel when enemies trigger them.
Area Denial: Cypher’s abilities, especially the Cyber Cage, allow him to control and deny areas on the map. The Cyber Cage can slow down and disorient opponents, making it effective for delaying enemy pushes or creating opportunities for your team.
Ultimate Ability (Neural Theft): Cypher’s ultimate ability, Neural Theft, allows him to instantly reveal the location of any enemies who have been recently killed. This can be a game-changer in providing critical information about enemy positions and rotations.
Self-Sufficiency: Cypher is a relatively self-sufficient agent. He can gather information independently with his Spycam and control areas with his Trapwires, allowing him to contribute to the team’s success even if he’s playing a more passive role.
Supportive Elements: While not providing healing like some other Sentinels, Cypher’s abilities contribute to the overall support and control of the team. His ability to provide early warning and limit enemy movement can greatly benefit the team’s overall strategy.
