Cypher

Sentinel · Flank insurance

Sentinels are defensive experts who can lock down areas and watch flanks, both on attacker and defender rounds.

Why we fit it where we do Many separate lanes mean one watched rotation is worth a whole player.

The four

  • TrapwireC · trap

    EQUIP a trapwire. FIRE to place a destructible and covert trapwire at the targeted location, creating a line that spans between the placed location and the wall opposite. Enemy players who cross a trapwire will be Slowed and Revealed after a short period if they do not destroy the device in time. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.

  • Cyber CageQ · smoke

    INSTANTLY toss the cyber cage in front of Cypher. ACTIVATE to create a zone that blocks vision and plays an audio cue when enemies pass through it.

  • SpycamE · recon

    EQUIP a spycam. FIRE to place the spycam at the targeted location. RE-USE this ability to take control of the camera's view. While in control of the camera, FIRE to shoot a marking dart. This dart will Reveal the location of any player struck by the dart. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.

  • Neural TheftX · recon

    INSTANTLY use on a targeted dead enemy to download information on their team. After a brief delay, the location of all living enemy players will be Revealed twice.

Rehearsal Custom practice · Set the trip and the cam from spawn, then walk the flank to check they cover it.

Riot publishes no public match statistics and this product holds no sample of its own. What replaces them is on this page already: what the kit does, what it asks of you, and which situations it can fill.
