Updated · live data refreshed 1 hour ago · every 6 hours
Cyclops is best with tanky heroes with strong CC skills, like Belerick and Minsitthar.
Cyclops lacks Dash or Blink skills, making him the preferred target for heroes with gap closers and CC skills. Such as Lancelot, Alucard and Kagura.
Level up in this order when playing Cyclops:
Planets Attack
Stardust Shock
Starlit Hourglass
A celestial traveler in the universe.
Each time Cyclops hits an enemy with his skills, all his skill cooldowns are reduced by 0.5s.
Cyclops casts two Stardust Disks in the target direction, each dealing 240 (+60% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies in its path.
Cyclops conjures Starlit Spheres around himself while gaining 50% Movement Speed that decays over 2s. The spheres will automatically seek and attack nearby enemies (prioritizes enemy heroes), exploding on collision and dealing 200 (+55% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to the enemy. Enemies hit by multiple spheres will take reduced damage after the first hit.
Cyclops creates a Planetary Sphere and sends it after the target enemy hero or Creep, dealing 500 (+120% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage and immobilizing them for 0.75-1.5s (increases with travel distance).
Skill Order: Prioritise skills in this order — Skill 3 → Skill 2 → Skill 1.
→
→
In teamfights, Cyclops should control the target enemy with his Ultimate, close in with his 2nd Skill, then finish off the target with his 1st Skill.
→
Cyclops can use his 2nd Skill to close in on enemy heroes then hit them with both his 1st Skill and the spheres summoned by his 2nd Skill. This combo is very effective against enemy heroes.

Empty item slot is for a defense item vs the enemy with most threat to you, or if the enemy has multiple heroes with the same type of damage (e.g. vs Karina, Pharsa, Natan - Athena; Lance, YZ and Brody - Cuirass). If your team is leading, you can buy the defense item earlier to avoid getting shutdown, if your team is behind in gold build your damage items first as you will need all the damage you can have to match the enemy damage. Swap Glowing Wand for Divine Glaive if there is no strong sustain (heal, spellvamp or shield) heroes in the enemy team

- best emblem for Cyclops imo. provides big boost to your magic damage in the early game, where you are at your weakest. - you can go for other emblems like basic emblem, assasin emblem or even fighter emblem but the mage emblem gives you the best distribution of stats and without it you won't deal as much damage as possible early.
Inspire
Festival of Blood
Lethal Ignition
Use if you want sustain early game and heal damage taken in lane. Lesser damage potential for extra tankiness and sustain.
Inspire
Festival of Blood
Impure Rage
For players who are new to playing Cyclops and can't manage his mana properly. Lesser damage potential but safer lane and can help you rotate to other lanes instead of recalling for mana.

Emblem - Mage. - best emblem for Cyclops imo. provides big boost to your magic damage in the early game, where you are at your weakest. - you can go for other emblems like basic emblem, assasin emblem or even fighter emblem but the mage emblem gives you the best distribution of stats and without it you won't deal as much damage as possible early.
Sustain Emblem. Use if you want sustain early game and heal damage taken in lane. Lesser damage potential for extra tankiness and sustain.
Mana Regen. For players who are new to playing Cyclops and can't manage his mana properly. Lesser damage potential but safer lane and can help you rotate to other lanes instead of recalling for mana.
Battle Spell. Why Vengeance? Helps you tank and survive burst from main threats, and win 1v1s or even 1v2s and 1v3s when well fed. You can argue that Flicker or Purify is better, but as long as your positioning is good and you have good awareness of your main threats, you'll be alright without Flicker.
