Best Of

Hyperion is so worth it I cant even describe how much better he is with his sig and only 20 levels (since he doesn’t require high sig since it scales so poorly-from 65-75% increased buff duration; sig20 is 70%)

On top of his abilities which I am sure you are already aware of, including the fact that his dupe makes his furies last long enough to not play ridiculously aggressive to get any decent damage off, he is incredibly versatile due to his animations and power gain. For instance, in fights like Electro, you can just avoid getting hit until power gain takes you to L1, then just intercept his dash with that and only the first hit will do any sort of damage to you. It will also do DoT in the form of incinerate, which is valuable in being a DoT that’s not many are immune to.

After awakening him, he gains access to his best damage cycle if you will. On shorter fights, go with parry medium heavy parry medium heavy intercept five hit combo L2, and if it stuns and they don’t have a ton of power, heavy 5hit L2 again, and if it stuns and they have a lot of power, just do two heavies to get more fury.

If it’s a longer fight, build to L3 first so you get a big damage boost in the cosmic charges, plus infinite power gain, allowing you to chain more L2s.

One final thing, a big part of playing him well is pacing your combos, so if you want to say, throw a special two and you are already in a combo, but you doubt you will reach it, slow down your combo and power gain will kick in and potentially make up the difference.

If you didn’t feel like reading all that, definitely go ahead and use it on Hype. He is definitely worth it and is my favorite currently.
