Best Heroes to Counter Cyclops

Cyclops, a mage in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, draws power from the celestial bodies, unleashing devastating attacks on his adversaries. His passive ability, Starlit Hourglass, significantly reduces the cooldown of his skills when they hit an enemy, allowing for frequent casting and sustained pressure in battles. His primary offensive skill, Planets Attack, not only deals consistent damage but also enhances his mobility with a boost in movement speed.

With proper equipment for mana regeneration and cooldown reduction, Cyclops can maintain a relentless assault. His other abilities, Stardust Shock and the ultimate move, Star Power Lockdown, inflict damage and immobilize foes, making him a formidable opponent. Despite his strengths, certain heroes can effectively counter him, providing strategic options for players facing Cyclops.

Three Powerful Heroes to Outplay Cyclops in MLBB

Harley

Harley stands out as a versatile choice for counteracting Cyclops in battle. As a mage/assassin, Harley excels at executing quick and effective combos. He can close the gap with Cyclops using his Space Escape, unleash Deadly Magic, and follow up with Poker Trick. Afterward, Harley can retreat to his magic hat, ensuring his safety before his target explodes.

A strategic advantage of Harley is the ability to activate Space Escape even when immobilized by Cyclops‘ ultimate, Star Power Lockdown. Using Hero Lock Mode guarantees precision in targeting Cyclops, making Harley a top contender in contests against the cunning mage.

Lancelot

Lancelot, another skilled assassin, can swiftly outmaneuver Cyclops and deliver deadly strikes. Thorned Rose allows Lancelot to dodge incoming attacks by granting momentary invulnerability. This skill is particularly useful against Cyclops‘ ultimate.

By dashing in with Puncture, Lancelot can inflict considerable harm using Thorned Rose. He can finish the mage with Phantom Execution and basic attacks if additional force is needed. A quick retreat with Puncture ensures his safety after the assault.

Another approach is to initiate combat with Phantom Execution, keeping Thorned Rose available to dodge Star Power Lockdown. While mastering this timing can be challenging, practice can lead to seamless execution.

Lolita

The tank hero Lolita is a formidable adversary for Cyclops, as her abilities are perfect for countering his projectile attacks. Her Guardian’s Reflection skill can effectively block all of Cyclops‘ spells, providing a robust defense line.

Positioning herself in front of Cyclops, Lolita can effectively neutralize his abilities. Once his skills are blocked, she can close in and stun him with Power Charge. Should Cyclops attempt to flee, Lolita's Noumenon Blast can slow him, allowing it to channel fully and apply an additional stun. Her range can be extended with Flicker if needed.

Though Lolita doesn't deal much damage on her own, coordinating with her teammates ensures that Cyclops is incapacitated long enough for others to finish him. Investing in items like Radiant Armor can further mitigate Cyclops‘ magic prowess, offering Lolita enhanced protection against magical threats.
