- Every 25 seconds, Cyclops gains a Precision Passive that grants +6813 Critical Rating for 15 seconds. Every blocked hit by either Cyclops or the opponent that is not critical reduces the timer by 2 seconds.
Optic Effectiveness
- Whenever Cyclops takes Energy Damage or when either champion performs a Critical Hit in any way, Cyclops gains one Optic Effectiveness, but loses 15 when Power Drained, Burned or suffering from Tech champions Plasma effects. Max stacks: 50
- For each Optic Effectiveness, Cyclops’ Special Attacks are granted bonuses:

3% chance to randomly gain 1, 2, or 3 Bars of Power.
Special Attacks
- All Beam Attacks are guaranteed to be Critical at the cost of 15 Optic Effectiveness.
- Any Critical Rating that Cyclops gains is converted into +956.16 Critical Damage Rating for the duration of the Special Attack when Cyclops consumes 15 Optic Effectiveness.
- Abilities caused by hitting the opponent with Beam Attacks also trigger through the opponent’s Block.
Special Attack 1
- If Cyclops has a Prowess Effect, this attack ignores all Energy Resistance.
- Each hit deals a burst of Energy Damage, causing up to 1491.25 based on Optic Effectiveness.
Special Attack 2
- The first 3 hits have a 30% chance to grant Cyclops a Prowess Buff for 5 seconds, increasing Special Attack Damage by +25%. These are paused for the duration of the Special Attack.
- Beam Attacks have a 40% chance to Armor Break the opponent, reducing Armor Rating by 981.15 for 10 seconds. The chance of this ability triggering is increased by +15% for each Prowess effect Cyclops has.
Special Attack 3
- Consume 15 Optic Effectiveness to inflict a stacking Energy Vulnerability Debuff, reducing Energy Resist by 1510.16 for 25 seconds.
- If Cyclops was at 50 Optic Effectiveness when using this attac , inflict a Disorient Debuff reducing Defensive Ability Accuracy and Block Proficiency by 50%.

I would probably change it so that some other quality among Tech champions interacts that way instead of plasma, but I have no idea what it would be. All of the things my mind comes up with would just feel like copy-pasted straight from Havok.
But with that out of the way, I do still like the concept. Don't get me wrong. It's nice to see one of the OG noodles of the game receive some buff-love, even if it's just from us in the community.
