CYCLOPS
Powers and Skills in X-Men Legends
|
Cyclops is a mutant with the ability to project a beam of ruby-colored
concussive force from his eyes. The precise nature of the optic blasts is
unknown, but it seems Cyclops' body metabolizes solar energy in the process
of generating the beams. Unable to control the blasts, Cyclops prevents the
energy from escaping by wearing ruby-quartz lenses--the only substance able
to diffuse his awesome power.
ATTRIBUTES
There are four basic traits that each character can upgrade:
- Striking: Physical power in combat. Raising this will
increase damage from melee attacks.
- Agility: Physical speed in combat. Raising this will
increase chances to hit and decrease chances to be hit while in melee
combat.
- Body: Physical toughness. Raising this will increase the
amount of health points the character has.
- Focus: Mastery of mutant ability. Raising this will
increase the amount of energy points the character has.
SKILLS
 |
BASIC MOVES/ATTACKS:
Like all of the characters in X-Men Legends,
Cyclops has a set of standard moves. Two buttons are assigned to his quick
and strong melee attacks, which can be hit in different orders to achieve a
devastating barrage of punching and kicking combo attacks. His grab button
allows him to grapple enemies or pick up objects that he’s strong enough to
lift, which of course can be hurled at enemies. Cyclops is also able to
jump, but not double jump or fly like some of his more agile teammates. |
 |
OPTIC BEAM:
One of Scott’s most basic powers is the “Optic Beam”, which sends a
focused ray of light from his visor that will damage one target. This can be
used to damage both enemies and environment pieces. This power is great for
getting in combo damage when linked up with other teammates’ powers. For
example, Jean Grey can lift an enemy into the air with her telekinetic
powers, setting them up for a mid-air shot from Cyclops’ “Optic Beam.” On
some occasions, Cyclops can even use the “Optic Beam” for some spot welding.
Leveled Up:
As Cyclops gains levels, the “Optic Beam” can be upgraded to a more
powerful version called the “Optic Blast.”
|
 |
OPTIC SWEEP:
This power sends a wide beam out from Cyclops’ visor, which can damage
more than one enemy at a time. There’s also a chance that the “Optic Sweep”
will knock your target backward.
Leveled Up: At higher levels, this can
upgraded to the stronger “Optic Slam.” |
 |
TACTICS:
When Cyclops activates “Tactics”, his fighting effectiveness increases
as he gains a boost in his strength and his speed for a short amount of
time. As this power is upgraded, you will gain larger bonuses in strength
and speed and it will last for longer durations.
Leveled Up:
As you reach higher levels, “Tactics” can be upgraded to “Strategy” and
“Command.” |
 |
OPTIC RAGE:
This unleashes a huge arc spray attack from Cyclops’ visor,
doing a sizable amount of damage to anything in its path. |
| |
POINT BLANK SHOT:
Upgrading this ability increases the damage that
ranged attacks do up close to an enemy. |
| |
CRITICAL STRIKE:
Spend your points here if you want to increase your
chance of doing critical damage with your melee strikes. |
| |
LEADERSHIP:
This ability helps the team by increasing both damage done and
experience received in any combo whenever Cyclops is present in the squad.
Leveled Up:
Upgrading it at higher levels gives you greater bonuses to both damage
and combo experience. |
| |
ACCURACY:
By increasing your “Accuracy” attribute, you have a greater
chance of doing critical damage on your ranged attacks. |
