His damage is so op that there's high chance he will be rebalanced.

His damage is still insane, but i don’t see it being too op to the point that that he would need a nerf.
In bg i can see some meta where he would be hard to use in. Kinda like hurt locker or that node that prevents you from using a special within 5 seconds of the last activated one.
Then there's no way a purely attacker should get NERFED.
Totally serious — if a kit doesn’t have immunities to DOT, doesn’t control power, doesn’t have immortality or insane healing to go with the catastrophic DPS…it just hits hard, like the source material.
But there are about 50 ways to keep the kit from affecting Everest/Story/Endgame content, so I just don’t see a nerf coming, honestly
To me, JMO:
1. Man, DPX can be ridiculous sometimes. It’s hard to put into words, actually describe it. I nuked a Photon once and I was like “HOW” 😅
2. Cyclops, to me, is more fun to actually PLAY. The synergies are more fun with some lore aspects, the animations are really smooth.
IDK. I would bet that the DPS on both is pretty close. Honestly, I think it just boils down to how you play
Not hating but its just something about someone asking a question and someone saying a whole bunch of stuff and still not giving a direct answer and just telling the person "it comes down to who you prefer"
Obviously the question wouldn't have been asked if the OP didn't already know that. He can only rank up one.
Who's the better option????
Let’s see. OK.
I think Cyclops is the better option to rank up, because getting the Precisions AND keeping them isn’t bad, especially since the kit doesn’t automatically run toward the opponent. You can intercept consistently because you know exactly where you are going to be at all times.
That, plus the Power Efficiency, makes it so the DPS is accessible in more ways — you can play Cyclops multiple ways, for how I process and understand the game, which makes it a better option.
LOL I admit it: You made me answer the question.
In comparison, both have great damage which is most of their utility, I'd categorize both as just damage dealers. Cyclops has the miss and evade which is very useful for questing and end game content.
Xpool is going to be alot better in battlegrounds because his rotation is faster and is JUST ONE allowing him to play around nodes where you have a very small window to kill the opponent whereas cyclops needing 2 - 3 specials will struggle eg korg.
Most of the meta defenders do not require much utility to face as you really just have to play around their defensive mechanics which cyclops may struggle with in comparison to xpool. Xpool also does not have to wait for anything and can waste as much time baiting out defensive mechanics whereas cyclops will struggle cos of keeping that true focus up.
Xpool is the better battlegrounds champion.
However, you'd probably want a cyclops everywhere else over an xpool because he doesn’t have any relevant utility (except maybe the taunt). You will find yourself needing that true focus from cyclops in alot of questing content especially if kabam brings back EOP content.
Overall, I'd say if you can, rank up xpool cos he would actually be useful for your battlegrounds deck and keep your cyclops at r2 for now (until you have enough rank up resources to justify r3ing him in the future).
If you find yourself needing cyclops in questing, the rank 2 has enough damage to do it and since its questing, you do not need to be quick so you can perform the sp3 rotation and kill the opponent.
Apologies to the OP for derailing the thread.
Note: if a summoner realizes how to play cyclops and uses a 4*r4 cyclops in 5.2.6, the collector is a joke(they could prob solo it first try, if they manage the collectors specials properly and get to the sp3 b4 the collectors ). Even the GOAT TRAPPY(may he rest in peace), raged against the collector of all people during his Speedrun. Plus he got PTSD from forgetting he could parry after the fight was over instead of just baiting specials.
