Crash of the Titans Cycle 2: Cyclops

Thanks for the old post. Couldn't find it (wrong search terms I suppose).

I'm very pessimistic for my 2/1/1 Cyclops. Oh well.

Last time my Cyclops was 5/2/1 (or something like that) and was able to pull it off with ease. The number of red covers is crucial here.
Now he's maxed and championed, so it should be an easy fight for me.

3/5/3 at level 158. I don't think I have enough damage dealing even if my red collection is pretty good or if I level Cyclops.

The next 3 should all be clearable at least. My Red Hulk and X-23 are in much better shape than last time.

I was lucky enough to obtain the optimal covers for him 5/5/3. Shouldn't have a problem winning this fight, having that fifth uncanny strategist cover makes matters significantly easier, even if my character is only lol 155

Cyclops' blue is much, much better at 5 than 3, while his yellow is still quite useful at 3. If you're at that stage of the game, he's worth Championing and respecing to 5/3/5 - all in all he's one of the best characters out there. Arguably as good as IMHB - easily as good if not better for climbing, a mixed bag for defense (his powers work better with a player behind him, but they still work ok with the AI,) and not quite as good for hops.

That being said, so long as he's a decent level at all, you shouldn't have a problem with his DPDQ.

I have a 1/1/3 which will become 1/2/3 after nabbing the Starfall cover. Is it possible to beat it with that configuration?

Agree, his blue power is amazing, it's a just a shame that it always come down to that power or his yellow being under leveled. While the conventional wisdom might be to go all in on called shot, his uncanny strategist is underrated. At max covers it gives out 4 ap. With the right board setup and some lucky cascades you can collect up to 8 ap a turn.

Called Shot is great but it is also subject to luck, and the damage output isn't all that impressive. Also if the endgame here is to collect enough tu tiles to fire off his nuke, your better off just matching those instead. They are both formidable, but I feel like people overlook his Yellow ability.

I managed it second try after levelling my 5/3/2 Cyclops to level 150. Used +2 red/yellow AP, +2 blue/purple and +100% red/yellow damage. First try the AI gave Hulkbuster all the black but second try was pretty easy.

The legendary gave me . At least it wasn't a dupe.

lvl 120 4/4/2, +2TU, 100% Match damage.

Deny red, then black.
Try and pick up yellow and TU.
Save red for a big blast with TU or use to destroy a single tile to your advantage.

Took 5 goes

2/3/3 cyclops here @ 147. basically no chance. After 6 tries I haven't gotten IMHB below 12k health.

even supercharged I would do 2k damage with red.

I think it might be possible in 10 or 20 tries if I

(1) went with full HP match boosts; and
(2) got a really lucky board that let me collect all the red/ap/blue/yellow I need while preventing IMHB from ever getting red/blue/black.

But that's too expensive for me (especially since LTs no longer have OML)

1/2/3 lv 100.

Maybe next cycle I'll have him ready, probably not worth a shot yet.
