Calling it now. Cyclone will be used by 50%+ of the player base this league.

Slayer looking pretty legit for cyclone... but trap/mines, ignite, or pois stacking are gonna be pretty juicy in a tight multiboss arena. Circle strafe never lets you down!

Slayer wasn't insanely transformed but checks all the boxes for an easy to get going, strong, Cyclone league starter. Buff to leeching is a big plus, immune to bleeding, decent AS, and lots of AoE. Very simple and powerful starter build.

Slayer always had a lot of ease of use stuff that worked well with cyclone (good leech, stun immune, bleed immune, can scale crit and/or AoE easily, the update to the charge node is solid too and might be good for faster movespeed). Its improved in most of its fundamentals whereas Champ Impale is looking a bit weaker / not quite as overshadowing.

The removal of 50% increased damage while leeching nerfed the damage by quite a bit though, The Endless Hunger and Brutal Fervour nodes are pretty much the same but now you have less damage and slightly more attack speed while also being a little bit more tanky

Wanna bet about it ? 10 $ worth of points in here ?

CwC blade blast cyclone all the way 🤯

I will for sure be using Cyclone build... at least that will be my first build in new League... Its easy to use and its safe to farm low/mid lvl maps... even higher level if you have decent gear... Thi a bit slow i guess.

50% increased is a very small amount of your damage by the late game.

And since we can now grab overleech by itself, you can go full damage and 20% cull, overleech, and either super crit or huge mapping aoe and another 15% more to close targets.

I'm personally more then happy to give up the overkill leech and bleed / stun immune in favor of either the crit node or dmg/aoe node.
