Strategy/Usage[]
White Knight Cyclops is a thoroughly underwhelming backliner who suffers from below average damage per second, high cost and long recharge time, with all of their other stats being painfully average aside from their higher than normal movement speed. Multi-hit divides their attack power into two equally strong hits and may cause them to only deal half damage to enemies that are easily knocked back, further hampering their general use. Like most Dark Heroes, Cyclops' stats don't improve between forms, with each form instead having different abilities and ostensibly acting as sidegrades to one another.
Normal Form[]
White Knight Cyclops in their normal form has a 50% chance to freeze Aliens and Aku as well as a 50% chance to pierce shields, which seems promising in theory but utterly falls flat in practice. Firstly, these effects can only activate on Cyclops' first hit, meaning on average they will only trigger every other attack cycle, or once every 18 seconds. Secondly, their freeze lasts a mere 3 seconds (up to 3.6 seconds against Aliens with Treasures) compared to Cyclops' 9.1 second attack cycle, giving it poor uptime on top of being unreliable. Thirdly, Aku shields block status effects unless they are pierced by the same attack, effectively cutting Cyclops' chance of freezing them in half. Fourthly, many Aku stages feature Aftermath surges that can melt through Cyclops' middling health like a hot knife through butter, nullifying their range advantage and making their long recharge time all the more devastating. Lastly, in the time since Cyclops was added in the game, non-Uber options for shield piercing (particularly Barrel Cat and Cat Researcher) have improved dramatically, making the merit of a shield piercer with no survivability all the more questionable. In short, practically any other anti-Alien Uber picked at random will be more effective than Cyclops against that trait, and even status effect anti-Aku Ubers with no shield pierce of their own will likely outperform Cyclops if they have high HP/surge immunity and are supported by a more dependable shield piercer.
Evolved Form[]
Black Knight Kyklops trades the Freeze and Shield Pierce of their normal form for Strong Against and Immune to Waves. This raises their stats to workable levels against Aliens and Aku, but they are still on the lower end compared to other Ubers targeting the same traits. Notably, they are much less likely to be folded in an instant by Aftermath surges, and their wave immunity gives them an edge against the likes of Youcan and Deathkory. While they no longer have shield pierce to deal with Aku, as mentioned previously non-Uber shield piercers are better able to pick up the slack than they were during Kyklops' inception, making the loss not so significant. Strong UP combos should be considered to get the most out of Kyklops, and are easy to justify if you are also using Cat Cactus and/or Talented Li'l Island Cat. Due to their poor base attack power, there is little reason to use Kyklops against non-Alien/Aku Wave enemies over a unit like Talented Dancer Cat or even Awakened Musashi.
True Form[]
Demon Knight Kyklops trades the defense fortifying Strong Against and Wave Immunity of their evolved form - as well as their Alien target - in favor of Massive Damage against Aku, a 50% chance to pierce shields, and Immune to Freeze. Most of what was written about their normal form still applies to their true form, except now they'll be able do deal a good amount of damage against Aku before getting sniped by a surge attack. Demon Knight Kyklops's heightened damage and multi-hit does open up the greater possibility of brute forcing an Aku shield with the first hit and damaging them directly with the second, but without Catseyes there are few shields they could break with a single hit. In terms of Freeze Immunity, the wide variety of superior Freeze Immune attackers immediately invalidate his presence, and while some Aku threats do abuse it, Demon Knight Kyclops proves to be a poor matchup against them all. Cerberus Kids, while threatening if they do get the hit, are peons with practically no relevance otherwise. Meanwhile, despite his high range, he can be easily sniped by Wicked Face, Ackey, THE FOLIVOREAN and Omens as he cannot outrange them, their LD attacks or their Waves/Surges.
Additionally, Demon Knight Kyklops gains a 1-slot Massive Damage UP (Sm) Cat Combo, boosting damage of all units with this ability by 10% against their target traits. While combos boosting direct damage tend to be much more reliable and consistent for all units, it still has a point in its favor from time to time, given it takes only one slot and boosts the unit included within.
