Tip: when you put your tripwire you should crouch, aim the tripwire on your head, then place it. That way even if the enemy crouches, their head will trigger the tripwire.
Tip from a cypher main: try to find that one corner and the one place the enemies would never expect to place your traps and camera, and also don't try to often save your ult, it's just 6 points anyways so you better use it even if it's like a 3v1
if it's 1v3, it's better to ult for next round than to ult for a losable round. it's better to have a team info than a solo info. also they removed the time limit of it and increased the range so you can ult a body that your teammate killed
Usually you want to place your camera high up, so not only can it see more but it’s also harder to spot for the enemies. The height at which you can place it is limited by your vertical position, so if you stand on a box it can go much higher. That Pearl cam you showed can be placed really high if you stand on heaven and jump
Actually I've once bamboozled the enemies by putting my camera low in ascent between the big boxes and the grass at A( I think)at a corner, worked well and the enemies didn't destroy till the end of the round
As a cypher main here are some tips: 1. Prioritize buying a phantom instead of a vandal because you're gonna be spraying a lot through your cages 2. For pistol rounds I recommend buying 1 trip 1 cage and a ghost, classic isn't good for cypher because you can't wallbang with it and it shows bullet tracers 3. Don't spam your ult immediately after a kill make sure it's safe first (i learned it the hard way) 4. Try different setups in custom before playing in ranked it helps you memorize and place them faster 5. Defence is the easiest for cypher, just make sure to switch up your play style and setups a lot, in attack you can go as the flanker, place a trip for your team and another trip on the opposite site to watch your back and a camera somewhere in mid and you can take mid control silently, when your team calls for something make your move based on the info but be fast you gotta help the team on site too Hope these tips help you rank up ❤️
1:30 On attack, I use my trips to cover my teammates' flank. Depending on the map, I mostly prefer to lurk with cypher (when I have teammates entering sites and playing well like in the split game). So I cover their backs with a trip, and use the second to cover the spike, or to block off areas during postplant.
As a cypher main I have one tip that wins free post plants: put the cam RIGHT ON TOP of the bomb- you can easily tell if they tap or are sticking, and you can shoot through smokes to kill them ❤- good luck on the series, our favorite valorant fish!
Follow up- when they defuse, they usually look at angles, so if you put the camera BEHIND where they look, they can’t see it and usually don’t break it. Combine it with a wallbang or a cage and you can kill them without them seeing you
Very good things I do in my comp matches is: 1. When you are attackers then plasing a trip behind you is very good, you always know when someone is behind you. 2. Plase your cam to peek instead of yourself or a teammate.
Make sure to utilize foot traps if the enemy team doesn’t have utility that can trigger low traps (like skye dogs or wingman). Some tripwires can also be placed at head level to avoid certain abilities with bigger hit boxes, though fade dogs and yoru clones will always trigger. Most enemies will not crouch when pushing so they will still trigger it and you can get free kills in combination with your smokes.
Tip: you generally don't want to spend both your smokes on a single setup, most of the time it's better to save a cage for the retake. So it's better to place a one way cage or a regular cage on a trip and keep the other one to use for repositioning or retaking
Finally! A series I can give input on! The biggest tip I can give is to not get stuck in the mindset of being defensive. A very good strat is to push forward early and place a tripwire into contested space. For example, on haven C site, instead of placing a tripwire in the entrance, hold close to the barrier. Once it drops, place a tripwire deep into C long and drop a cage at your feet. It should deploy before the enemy sees it and they'll run down C long expecting the trip to be further back. You want your mere presence on the map to be the thing that slows enemies down. The threat of your util is extremely valuable. Be unpredictable.
Cypher is a very good agent if you how to use it. The outplay potential is higher than your or omen. You can use your cages for -smoke, cover, info(it makes sound if someone entered it 😊) and bait (they might think it's a flash turn to dodge it when u throw it in front of them, works many times😊). U can cam for info -to kill, watch spike, watch flank, scare the heck of them(by darts). Edit- as he said u can also bait ur cam😅 U can use trip -for info, wallbangs, smoke sprays(most used), bait (same as cage) and to watch things like flank or spike (both plated and dropped) Ult can win u round- u know if u need to rotate by number of enemy on a site, you know if they r sticking or not(spike), see flank and also panick them a little 😂
for postplants, you can place a camera on the spike or a surface nearest to the spike and not activate it until you hear a diffuse, so you can tag the diffuser and spam him through smoke
On ascent, you can put a cam above the B main chokepoint on the sign if you stand on the market platform. It can see a bit of backsite, and you can spot all of lane and if anyone leaves b main
Hello MrLowlander, the trap you put at 5:19 is actually a very good one to use, there is also a variation of it where you place it higher on the pipe, you should also know that the black part of the pillar thingy is wallbangable so it’s an easy way to get kills, honestly I would recommend you use setups used by « Acre the dog » or « spawns ». good cypher gaming to you my friend and guide !
Hi there. This is really cool and something I’ve been kind of looking for as I main cypher myself and it will be nice to see some tips. I noticed you said you were having trouble using the cams information to get kills. I think the best way is either with a wall bang set up or you can see when enemies are peaking some a different angle to the one you are at. Anyway really cool video and I always love your vibe :)
Can’t wait for the series! I gotta say tho that’s a pretty good night market, not unlucky. Xenohunter, Gaia ghost, and mage punk sheriff are all good skins imo
Tip : For attacking. Try using Anti-push tripwire. The trip that can guarantee the enemy push that direction. Some trip when triggered, enemy can choose to go to any direction so it's harder to predict them. Use only 1 trip with full protential
9:36 that cam for b is good for early info and fast rotates when your enemies rush often like pistol rounds. For a cam specifically for b, there is one at the same spot as the early info cam but its above, at the metal thing and the most often used one is the sign above the choke point
9:37 this cam is actually really great, it helps a lot with early information and it can relieve a huge area of the map for your team. Its a cam that should be used 1-2 times a game to give your team an early advantage. Would recommend to not use it to often, as it can be prefired. But it is a really good cam.
An important thing to note for all cypher mains is to not rely on your utility. You don't have a flash bang to help you clear out a site and your cages don't work well as smokes. You biggest strength is the ability to gain information. You don't have to run complex LOCKDOWN site setups. You can go for wide map control and put a trip mid as well as your site. You know more than any other agent on the server so it's up you to decide "should I take this 1v1? Should I hold this site or fall back when I see 3? Should I wait for the team?" It's not all about locking up territory and taking the back seat. Be creative. Stretch out your util far. And don't be afraid to run in
This was honestly the best tips and tricks I've seen yet, starting to play valorant and I'm a fan of Cypher and I want to play more of this and this just gave me ideas
I have one tip. Cypher can be an amazing lurker. Since cypher doesn't have a distance constraint on his traps, you can set your traps and lurk to catch enemies off guard!
@@kapilmeena8839 I meant something like kjs util and chambers trip, they don't work when you're not in range, I hope cypher doesn't get that treatment:/
a tip is try to place your tripwires in the weirdest possible positions especially late game since most players will catch on with your setups so instead of placing it horizontally in a doorway try placing it vertically or diagonally
hey if you dont mind me asking but for the next Ascendant series can you do a yoru one please because i really need tips and would like to see how other people would play yoru
Immortal 2 Cypher main here. Sorry, this got long REALLY fast. TLDR: use trips to control space. Put cages on trips and pop the cage when someone activates your trip. Learn a LOT of trips for each site + map and rotate through them so the enemy don't get used to them. Use a phantom to spray through your cages for easier trip kills. 1:56 a better trip would be to trip in front of the flower pot, basically on top of where Chamber put his trip. This would block ANYONE from flanking, even if they flanked from spawn In response to 3:00 about the enemy lurks, a good setup for Cypher on Icebox is to put a trip kitchen (this trip is very hard to break if you are an attacker, and denies access to kitchen) and a Cam on the front/top right wall of your spawn structure (02). This cam spots everyone trying to push mid. Then, when the round starts, throw a cage from boiler to push mid and avoid threats while tripping directly under tube. The trip placed directly under the junction of tube and the vertical base of tube deny access to attacker Mid-to-B lurks as well as lurks from screens. This is a common pro playbook to control mid as Cypher, and allows your teammates to double up on each site. In higher elo, a lot of Cyphers use trips less as a setup and more as a way of controlling space, like mid on Icebox. At 3:24, if you are playing a setup like this, I would recommend playing an angle where you can peek each trip if someone hits them, which means you might have to play behind fridge and swing off of the trip. Also, you need to put cages on each trip, because when an enemy hits the trip, they are only revealed for as long as the trip remains unbroken, so by popping your cage when the enemy hits the trip, your odds of killing them before they find the trip (and you) increase. Also, using a Phantom is pretty necessary as a Cypher main because of how many times you have to spray into your cages. 5:22 that trip is fine, but not great, because the only person able to kill the fade in that situation would be someone behind screens or halls. A better trip would be to place one on the opposite side of that pipe. 5:41 a better trip is on the bush on the left side of the B main, almost nobody notices it :) 7:24 that trip might be crouchable (or jumpable from flank). Make sure your trips are horizontally even when you check head height. 8:40 Ascent is Cypher's playground. There are amazing setups for both A and B, and although that trip is fine, it's a bit too low. Also, learn the one-ways because they give you free kills. 8:56 Popped your cage too early, results in enemies not pushing you because they are afraid of the cage. Don't show presence and pop the cage when they hit your trip. 9:47 A better cam is the one on the sign above A main. Go on the platform next to market and jump click onto the A main sign, almost nobody sees it.
I think cam on 5:28 is actually a pretty good cam because it can see both long and mid with one utility. It can help activate one ways on long or check for the mid lurk.
Tips and Tricks I learned from my Cypher experience: Generally speaking as an attacker I would always make sure that when someone is supposed to get hit by the wire make sure the enemy get's hit by it no matter if he trys to sneak of jump over it. As defender on the other hand you can get way more creative on how you use them place the higher or lower so that the enemy has a hard time finding them that gives a bigger window to attack them. Here are some sneaky tripwires: Icebox: - Defender A site you can place your Trip next to Generator like you did but very low, you can connect it to the gray corners of the white box in the middle or the white "wire" that is on the floor next to it - Attacker going into B site u can place a diagonal Tripwire from the white Container into Garage after the Barriers are gone that covers both entrys in case someone would flank - Also as Attacker I would recommend using it in spawn on either the Ship or on the A site building left under the Kingdom Logo - As attacker you can also have some trips that go diagonally from either the blue container to the ramp in spawn or from the other side to the ramp by placing it on the white part of the A site building Ascent: Most of the stuff here you already figured out but here are two things about B site entry for defenders - When you stand in front of market on that "ledge" you can place your camera on that corner-building between market and B main entry, look up and jump to place your cam either left of the 1st window on the gray "ventilation" or in between the two windows to get a visual into B main without the people spotting it that easy, sometimes you can even spot someone if there is a smoke in the entry. - you can place a tripwire from the right side of B main enty to market to create a new angle it also works pretty well with a one way if u manage to make one ;) -> (you can technically make something similar for when you are attacking just place your trip diagonally on the small house before you enter B main) Fracture: Fracture hasn't a lot of tricks I know of but here is one for defending - On A site main place your trip on the stairs that lead up to A haven. This way even if people find it it is still hard to destroy without using util Haven: Haven you already had some nice stuff so heres a nice Camera spot for attackers Place your camera on the lantern on the tree leading up to A site this way you can see your entire flank and if someone finds it just replace it to the other lantern, tho this way you won't see the complete flank anymore it it still usefull if u push A site. Split: Split is Cpyhers best map after Bind and B site is your playground as defender so here is my main setup for it - The Camera tho you probably already know it usually get's placed way up on the building that goes into B alley, so you can look into garage from a high angle and thus having it in the blindspot for your enemys as long as they are in there. - For the first trip search for a white trash bin close to the garage B entry and place one of your tripwires there (it is very close to the floor and can only be shot from one side as attacker so perfect for some sneaky kills). - For the second one you can place it on a white gas container that is just behind the crate you used the first tripwire for it is in this "ledge" that enables you to jump on the bigger box (this trip can be placed in two different angles so you are able to maybe use it multiple times) Anyways I hope these are usefull for anyone and that you can decypher (hahah very funny ik) what I was intending to write here :D
in Ascent you can place the camera above the entrance of B site, you can hear how many enemies are and catch them when they enter, you can put also with it a diagonal tripwire covering the door and another one on mid if they love pushing mid. In split, you can put the camera in a very high spot. You just have to be on the big box on B site and aim close to the edge of the buliding infront of you and you place the camera. It dependes on what you can see, if it is high, you will not be able to see people taking the orb, if it is too low, you will see them taking the orb but the chanve of them seeing the camera is higher.
As a cypher main, it might be time to give Mr Lowlander tips and tricks lol Also please do a collab with AcreTheDog or try the corner cages Good tip: Use a phantom or an Odin on cypher. Phantom because no bullet tracers, Odin for wall bangs when people get tagged by your trips
5:28 - Its better to jump off the little ledge on the site when placing that cam. It gets the information from long better. As a Cypher main I love to see some little things I have overlooked from the long time I have been playing Cypher! Good Luck :)
Finally!!!! I havent played valorant for almost 2 years and cypher was my main, ever since this series started, i waited so long for cypher to diamond (now ascendant) series, well played mr lowlanderr
Yo. D3 cypher main here. I have a few tips on cypher. Firstly, you can use your cages to hide where you’re standing on site rather than always using them to cover trips on entry points. In higher elo smokes will generally block where you’d throw your cage so it can often be wasted. Just put the cage up as they push and shoot through it. You can also use it as bait to trick them further, sometimes they will see and spam through it, so just hide and hold a different angle and swing when they hit the trip, they will likely look towards the cage. Second, if you have ult or are 1 off ultra try and lurk to get a kill to ult before everyone pushes site. This usually works best on default rounds so be sure to comm this to your team. Lastly, you can use your cam to trick bait your enemies (you talked about this in the vid but I wanted to hone in on it lol) we call it a “cypher flash”. Everyone always tries to break the cam when they see it so swing straight after you place it to catch them super off guard. Other than that I loved the vid! So happy to see you playing my main, can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Tip: For defensive tripwires, ones where you can get kills while they push, play them very low so that the enemies have a lower chance of seeing it. Sure, they can jump over it, but when they are rushing on a site they will likely run right through it. For attacking trips to hold the flank, crouch and place it at head level so they cannot jump it and cannot crouch under it.
Just a tip at 5:22 you can't actually wallbang that box. The bullets get stuck in the middle, so even though it looks like you are shooting through it, you aren't.
Best camera on B site on Ascend is the one on top of the main entrance (you have to put it from market) if you place it correctly you can even see inside the main a little bit.
If you go onto a ledge, target the camera to a wall where it turns blue (indicator that you can place it) and then jump, you might be able to place the camera higher then normal. Good camera is on Ascent B on top of the sign at B main. If you stand on the ledge from market, target camera at the sign and then jump, you can place it there. It won't help with B main, but gives info for market, lane and even boathouse, but you don't see much of B site.
cypher mains getting there mains loved ❤❤ not sure if its a useful tip but tip for using trips/trap wires is to put them on different places eather defending or attacking is best to hold out the flankers and pushers, never put them at the same place what si ever of they will shoot at it
One trick that I like to use sometimes is I'll plant the bomb against a wall that I can watch from off site, for example against the box thing in the middle of Pearl A site. Then I'll place my camera against the wall and have it be partially in spike so it's more obscured. Then I'll toss my cages down on the bomb, and when they're sticking the defuse I tag them and pop a cage. They're trapped and marked so I can spray them. I'd also save a trip to catch anyone pushing you. This works best in a 1v1
As a cypher main, there are some locations to put trips on unusual locations, and some locations allow you to put one way smokes, try putting trips in weird places in combo of one way and u might get some kills!
As a cypher main im looking forward to give you tips and tricks😂 Tip: Try to do deep trypwires. At the start of the round run forward to the enemy and place your trip way more infront. The enemy wont expect the trip to be that near at them.
Tip: you should definitely experiment in custom games by finding lineups for your cage or finding some ratty trips (one way cafes are too useful so I recommend learning a lot)
4:12 place a trip towards garage with the angle door to covering two enteries and put your second trip towards a big crate next to blue. At the barrier. That way you have two cover ups for flank. There is a concicent lineupI use for ascent on b site for a one way. I use the island the to line up my shot on the left corner top piece up and the position you go on is corner spot next to market towards ct. 10:31 plus I also discover another lineup that covers the attacker side on the choke on b.
One cypher tip, whenever you use your ult be sure to atleast hide from too open area's, it will most probably reveal your spot openly to enemies therefore wasting your ult or so
lil tip when attacking go ghost 1 trip for flank and 1 cage for post plant or entering and when putting setups its best to put a cage under your trips for easier kills. and u can jump to give some extra height for ur camera
I'm a Gold 3 Cypher main and you basically just intuited like 1/3 of my setups lmao. There's a few variations of the B site Ascent cam that still gives you early info (by audio) if enemies are in B main and you can use to spot the walk out or even mid. Small tip: As Cypher you want your camera to be as high as possible when placed. Good luck!
Hey again lowlander! Ironically, I’m currently trying to unlock cypher, so this is something I’m going to likely watch many times. Once again, thanks for all your help, and please continue doing great things for this community.
I guess dont plase the q-ebillety at the bigining of the round because your are not able to pik them up again and you have it if you where on the rong spot
Tips: instead of putting the cage right infront of the trip you can put it under you. It can give you more cover if they push And also the cam to see main of ascent you can put it and then use it towords main when the round starts. It can give you info at the start.
Tip: when you put your tripwire you should crouch, aim the tripwire on your head, then place it. That way even if the enemy crouches, their head will trigger the tripwire.
And they can't jump over it, also maybe if you see a Jett dashing all the time in 1 place, place your trip up high
You should definitely do this for flank or site watch trips but not for kill trips cuz it'll be easy to spot
@@magickirby7037 eye level when crouching is the perfect height

Some tripwires can also be placed at head level to avoid certain abilities with bigger hit boxes, though fade dogs and yoru clones will always trigger. Most enemies will not crouch when pushing so they will still trigger it and you can get free kills in combination with your smokes.

It's not all about locking up territory and taking the back seat. Be creative. Stretch out your util far. And don't be afraid to run in
This was honestly the best tips and tricks I've seen yet, starting to play valorant and I'm a fan of Cypher and I want to play more of this and this just gave me ideas
I have one tip. Cypher can be an amazing lurker. Since cypher doesn't have a distance constraint on his traps, you can set your traps and lurk to catch enemies off guard!
but then you could end up dying and making the traps useless :/
good tip tho
God I hope cypher doesn't get the util range limit treatment
BUT .... cypher have distance constraint on trip wire..
@@kapilmeena8839 I meant something like kjs util and chambers trip, they don't work when you're not in range, I hope cypher doesn't get that treatment:/
the tripwire has a max length, he can stay on the other side of the map and still have his tripwires active
a tip is try to place your tripwires in the weirdest possible positions especially late game since most players will catch on with your setups so instead of placing it horizontally in a doorway try placing it vertically or diagonally
5:40 you can place the cam on the wall in the corner so you have more space to watch and enemies wont sometimes notice it
Finally, I've been waiting for this series.
Let´s go. Thats what ive been waiting for as an Cypher main. Hopefully you show a lot of cool setups.
hey if you dont mind me asking but for the next Ascendant series can you do a yoru one please because i really need tips and would like to see how other people would play yoru
Immortal 2 Cypher main here.
Sorry, this got long REALLY fast.
TLDR: use trips to control space. Put cages on trips and pop the cage when someone activates your trip. Learn a LOT of trips for each site + map and rotate through them so the enemy don't get used to them. Use a phantom to spray through your cages for easier trip kills.
1:56 a better trip would be to trip in front of the flower pot, basically on top of where Chamber put his trip. This would block ANYONE from flanking, even if they flanked from spawn
In response to 3:00 about the enemy lurks, a good setup for Cypher on Icebox is to put a trip kitchen (this trip is very hard to break if you are an attacker, and denies access to kitchen) and a Cam on the front/top right wall of your spawn structure (02). This cam spots everyone trying to push mid. Then, when the round starts, throw a cage from boiler to push mid and avoid threats while tripping directly under tube. The trip placed directly under the junction of tube and the vertical base of tube deny access to attacker Mid-to-B lurks as well as lurks from screens. This is a common pro playbook to control mid as Cypher, and allows your teammates to double up on each site.
In higher elo, a lot of Cyphers use trips less as a setup and more as a way of controlling space, like mid on Icebox.
At 3:24, if you are playing a setup like this, I would recommend playing an angle where you can peek each trip if someone hits them, which means you might have to play behind fridge and swing off of the trip. Also, you need to put cages on each trip, because when an enemy hits the trip, they are only revealed for as long as the trip remains unbroken, so by popping your cage when the enemy hits the trip, your odds of killing them before they find the trip (and you) increase. Also, using a Phantom is pretty necessary as a Cypher main because of how many times you have to spray into your cages.
5:22 that trip is fine, but not great, because the only person able to kill the fade in that situation would be someone behind screens or halls. A better trip would be to place one on the opposite side of that pipe.
5:41 a better trip is on the bush on the left side of the B main, almost nobody notices it :)
7:24 that trip might be crouchable (or jumpable from flank). Make sure your trips are horizontally even when you check head height.
8:40 Ascent is Cypher's playground. There are amazing setups for both A and B, and although that trip is fine, it's a bit too low. Also, learn the one-ways because they give you free kills.
8:56 Popped your cage too early, results in enemies not pushing you because they are afraid of the cage. Don't show presence and pop the cage when they hit your trip.
9:47 A better cam is the one on the sign above A main. Go on the platform next to market and jump click onto the A main sign, almost nobody sees it.
I think cam on 5:28 is actually a pretty good cam because it can see both long and mid with one utility. It can help activate one ways on long or check for the mid lurk.
Tips and Tricks I learned from my Cypher experience:
Generally speaking as an attacker I would always make sure that when someone is supposed to get hit by the wire make sure the enemy get's hit by it no matter if he trys to sneak of jump over it.
As defender on the other hand you can get way more creative on how you use them place the higher or lower so that the enemy has a hard time finding them that gives a bigger window to attack them.
Here are some sneaky tripwires:
Icebox:
- Defender A site you can place your Trip next to Generator like you did but very low, you can connect it to the gray corners of the white box in the middle or the white "wire" that is on the floor next to it
- Attacker going into B site u can place a diagonal Tripwire from the white Container into Garage after the Barriers are gone that covers both entrys in case someone would flank
- Also as Attacker I would recommend using it in spawn on either the Ship or on the A site building left under the Kingdom Logo
- As attacker you can also have some trips that go diagonally from either the blue container to the ramp in spawn or from the other side to the ramp by placing it on the white part of the A site building
Ascent:
Most of the stuff here you already figured out but here are two things about B site entry for defenders
- When you stand in front of market on that "ledge" you can place your camera on that corner-building between market and B main entry, look up and jump to place your cam either left of the 1st window on the gray "ventilation" or in between the two windows to get a visual into B main without the people spotting it that easy, sometimes you can even spot someone if there is a smoke in the entry.
- you can place a tripwire from the right side of B main enty to market to create a new angle it also works pretty well with a one way if u manage to make one ;)
-> (you can technically make something similar for when you are attacking just place your trip diagonally on the small house before you enter B main)
Fracture:
Fracture hasn't a lot of tricks I know of but here is one for defending
- On A site main place your trip on the stairs that lead up to A haven. This way even if people find it it is still hard to destroy without using util
Haven:
Haven you already had some nice stuff so heres a nice Camera spot for attackers
Place your camera on the lantern on the tree leading up to A site this way you can see your entire flank and if someone finds it just replace it to the other lantern, tho this way you won't see the complete flank anymore it it still usefull if u push A site.
Split:
Split is Cpyhers best map after Bind and B site is your playground as defender so here is my main setup for it
- The Camera tho you probably already know it usually get's placed way up on the building that goes into B alley, so you can look into garage from a high angle and thus having it in the blindspot for your enemys as long as they are in there.
- For the first trip search for a white trash bin close to the garage B entry and place one of your tripwires there (it is very close to the floor and can only be shot from one side as attacker so perfect for some sneaky kills).
- For the second one you can place it on a white gas container that is just behind the crate you used the first tripwire for it is in this "ledge" that enables you to jump on the bigger box (this trip can be placed in two different angles so you are able to maybe use it multiple times)
Anyways I hope these are usefull for anyone and that you can decypher (hahah very funny ik) what I was intending to write here :D
in Ascent you can place the camera above the entrance of B site, you can hear how many enemies are and catch them when they enter, you can put also with it a diagonal tripwire covering the door and another one on mid if they love pushing mid.
In split, you can put the camera in a very high spot. You just have to be on the big box on B site and aim close to the edge of the buliding infront of you and you place the camera. It dependes on what you can see, if it is high, you will not be able to see people taking the orb, if it is too low, you will see them taking the orb but the chanve of them seeing the camera is higher.
0:44 as a cypher main i can say that your life is more important than the camera life
If you wanna learn cypher, watch nats. This guy is just insane
That Fade on 6:18 when you turn around is like ARGHHHH xD
As a cypher main, it might be time to give Mr Lowlander tips and tricks lol
Also please do a collab with AcreTheDog or try the corner cages
Good tip: Use a phantom or an Odin on cypher. Phantom because no bullet tracers, Odin for wall bangs when people get tagged by your trips
ive been waiting for these as a cyher main this is very usefull man thanks alot
I have been waiting for this moment my whole life as a cypher main.
5:28 - Its better to jump off the little ledge on the site when placing that cam. It gets the information from long better.
As a Cypher main I love to see some little things I have overlooked from the long time I have been playing Cypher!
Good Luck :)
Finally!!!! I havent played valorant for almost 2 years and cypher was my main, ever since this series started, i waited so long for cypher to diamond (now ascendant) series, well played mr lowlanderr
bro has Xenohunter knife, gaia's ghost and magepunk sheriff and still says he got a trash night marked💀
Learn to throw your cages. In chaotic situations you can use them like a Jett smoke to escape or calm down.
Nick Digiovanni is an epic chef ngl
YESSSS FINALLY FOR US CYPHER MAINSSSSS!!
Yo. D3 cypher main here. I have a few tips on cypher. Firstly, you can use your cages to hide where you’re standing on site rather than always using them to cover trips on entry points. In higher elo smokes will generally block where you’d throw your cage so it can often be wasted. Just put the cage up as they push and shoot through it. You can also use it as bait to trick them further, sometimes they will see and spam through it, so just hide and hold a different angle and swing when they hit the trip, they will likely look towards the cage. Second, if you have ult or are 1 off ultra try and lurk to get a kill to ult before everyone pushes site. This usually works best on default rounds so be sure to comm this to your team. Lastly, you can use your cam to trick bait your enemies (you talked about this in the vid but I wanted to hone in on it lol) we call it a “cypher flash”. Everyone always tries to break the cam when they see it so swing straight after you place it to catch them super off guard. Other than that I loved the vid! So happy to see you playing my main, can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Was waiting for this series for so long. Gonna learn a lot of stuff
try putting the tripwire very low so the enemys dont expect it
Tip: For defensive tripwires, ones where you can get kills while they push, play them very low so that the enemies have a lower chance of seeing it. Sure, they can jump over it, but when they are rushing on a site they will likely run right through it. For attacking trips to hold the flank, crouch and place it at head level so they cannot jump it and cannot crouch under it.
Tip: As an defender try to put your cage on the tripwire and use it as soon the tripwire gets triggered, its an free kill every time :)
This works every time, the enemies get so confused
6:15 the fadeeee😭😂😂😂
Lets gooo, I have been waiting for this!
"nothing good so unlucky" also gets xenohunter and tree ghost
Just a tip at 5:22 you can't actually wallbang that box. The bullets get stuck in the middle, so even though it looks like you are shooting through it, you aren't.
I WAS WAITING ON THIS‼️‼️
Best camera on B site on Ascend is the one on top of the main entrance (you have to put it from market) if you place it correctly you can even see inside the main a little bit.
If you go onto a ledge, target the camera to a wall where it turns blue (indicator that you can place it) and then jump, you might be able to place the camera higher then normal. Good camera is on Ascent B on top of the sign at B main. If you stand on the ledge from market, target camera at the sign and then jump, you can place it there. It won't help with B main, but gives info for market, lane and even boathouse, but you don't see much of B site.
Yikes that first lost must have been painful
he did it!
cypher mains getting there mains loved ❤❤
not sure if its a useful tip but
tip for using trips/trap wires is to put them on different places eather defending or attacking is best to hold out the flankers and pushers, never put them at the same place what si ever of they will shoot at it
One trick that I like to use sometimes is I'll plant the bomb against a wall that I can watch from off site, for example against the box thing in the middle of Pearl A site. Then I'll place my camera against the wall and have it be partially in spike so it's more obscured. Then I'll toss my cages down on the bomb, and when they're sticking the defuse I tag them and pop a cage. They're trapped and marked so I can spray them. I'd also save a trip to catch anyone pushing you. This works best in a 1v1
you did it you crazy fish man you did it...
As a cypher main, there are some locations to put trips on unusual locations, and some locations allow you to put one way smokes, try putting trips in weird places in combo of one way and u might get some kills!
Im a cypher main and a tip is to always buy a trip, a cage and a ghost one the first round
i just started playing cypher! so good thanks for the tips MrLowlander
As a cypher main im looking forward to give you tips and tricks😂 Tip: Try to do deep trypwires. At the start of the round run forward to the enemy and place your trip way more infront. The enemy wont expect the trip to be that near at them.
As a guy that just picked up Cypher this series is needed
The Nick DiGiovanni is so real
Yoooo, another great vid just dropped!
Tip: you should definitely experiment in custom games by finding lineups for your cage or finding some ratty trips (one way cafes are too useful so I recommend learning a lot)
bro got xeno in his night market so lucky 😭
Looking forward to a whole series of Lowlander spoiling my secret setups lol. Keep up the great work!
4:12 place a trip towards garage with the angle door to covering two enteries and put your second trip towards a big crate next to blue. At the barrier. That way you have two cover ups for flank. There is a concicent lineupI use for ascent on b site for a one way. I use the island the to line up my shot on the left corner top piece up and the position you go on is corner spot next to market towards ct. 10:31 plus I also discover another lineup that covers the attacker side on the choke on b.
Love this series!❤ Ty you for the great video!❤
One cypher tip, whenever you use your ult be sure to atleast hide from too open area's, it will most probably reveal your spot openly to enemies therefore wasting your ult or so
lil tip when attacking go ghost 1 trip for flank and 1 cage for post plant or entering and when putting setups its best to put a cage under your trips for easier kills. and u can jump to give some extra height for ur camera
As a cypher main i buy one trip and one cage in pistol round along with ghost or frenzy you should try that too
The long awaited cypher series is finally here
eyyyyyyyyyyyy the new serie to ascendant keep up the good work man your vids are fire❤🔥
I'm a Gold 3 Cypher main and you basically just intuited like 1/3 of my setups lmao. There's a few variations of the B site Ascent cam that still gives you early info (by audio) if enemies are in B main and you can use to spot the walk out or even mid. Small tip: As Cypher you want your camera to be as high as possible when placed. Good luck!
Yes!Keep up this series bro
LETS GO CYPHER WOHOOOO
Daym I hope you try some acrethedog corner cages
Hey again lowlander! Ironically, I’m currently trying to unlock cypher, so this is something I’m going to likely watch many times. Once again, thanks for all your help, and please continue doing great things for this community.
ANOTHER SERIES LETS GO MR LOWLANDER ❤️
I guess dont plase the q-ebillety at the bigining of the round because your are not able to pik them up again and you have it if you where on the rong spot
Tips: instead of putting the cage right infront of the trip you can put it under you.
It can give you more cover if they push
And also the cam to see main of ascent you can put it and then use it towords main when the round starts. It can give you info at the start.
