Learn how to leverage Cyrus's unique abilities, including Infiltrate, High-Powered Shot, and Cluster Mines, to dominate the battlefield in Tempest Rising. Get the edge you need!

Alright, let's talk about Cyrus. He's honestly one of the best surgical strikers you've got in your arsenal, and you'll want him in your gameplan for pretty much every mission. His ability, [INFILTRATE], makes him nearly invisible to most enemies. Seriously, use this to your advantage – he's not called an elite Scout for nothing! Send him out to scout ahead, see what you're up against, and have him fall back quickly when his energy gets low.

Cyrus is a lifesaver, literally. He can revive your entire decimated team in seconds. Need to take out a pesky long-range missile or artillery unit from across the map? Use [HIGH-POWERED SHOT] to one-shot them. Against Orks and Eldar, stick with sniper rifles. But if you're swarmed by tons of Tyranids, switch to shotguns and use [DROP SMOKE] to give yourself some breathing room.

When it comes to gear, equip him with the [CLUSTER MINE PACK] – it's fantastic for taking down those huge, lumbering mechs and beasts. Don't forget [LOCATOR BEACONS] and [SIGNUM] either, which let you call in devastating artillery strikes against crowds of enemies.

Now, especially in Chaos Rising, don't even think about not deploying Cyrus. Forget any doubts you might have. Why? Because [STIMULANT KITS] are now energy-based for him, and he has the [MEND] trait. Basically, picking a fight with your Blood Ravens is a losing battle because Cyrus can heal or revive everyone with just a button press. And if that wasn't enough, two accessories you'll always want on him, [CLUSTER MINES] and [REMOTE DETONATION CHARGES], are also energy-based. Get ready for some serious [BOMB SPAM]!
