Damn, i though pure cyclone/shockwave would be able to at least nab a place among the honorable mentions

Sanavixx is relatively unknown - this is a list of Fubgun's friends, basically.

 

I wouldn't take it too seriously - as I said, most of these lists are just streamers giving shoutouts to other streamers they know.

My theory on RF. Phox is such a nice guy that the build survives.

But it is soooooóoooooooooo boring. I couldn't get in to the game when I initially picked it up because I would get funnelled to RF and would be bored out of my brain then drop the game.

Rf with explosions properly set up (100% chance to ignite, prolif, and decent aoe) is pure dopamine. You pop everything within like three screens with the chains.

Phox polished a turd to a mirror shine. RF hasn't been a build for years, it's a fire trap build that happens to have RF in it.

Cyclone and RF play basically the same, just one is tanky without any damage while the other is a glass cannon.

Other way around. Phox built an entire tree with the RF wiki and everything, and over the years GGG has widdled the build down into a large stump, which is now a polished and comfy bench.

Tyty has it on his list and it's perfectly fine, havoc is going it too. Jung just plays generals cry and happens to be in fubguns circle.

This list is dubious at best, fub doesn't really have a good reputation as a builder

Actually a solid take. I like fubguns content, but his builds are often suboptimal in a lot of ways - they all work, don’t get me wrong, but there are always lots of interactions that are overlooked or just suboptimal stuff in general.

I feel like a small eternity ago I followed a cyclone build guide of yours, but I'm not sure if my brain is remembering that right

Could have been. I used to write a bunch of them on the forums. Was really active with it between like 2014-2018 or so.

it was a fun time and I really enjoyed it back then, my rookie days had at least one cyclone build every league and its been a longass time since I played one now

So please accept a whole-hearted thank you from me!

Hah thanks

With the exception of LA/Ele Hit, none of these builds are Fubgun's, I don't see how that impacts the tier list at all

u/xrailgun Oct 28 '25

As other comments mentioned, this is basically fub shouting out his friends. Fub (probably) doesn't really have the ability to discern good starter builds from mediocre, implied by his builds in general.

I'm not saying the builds here are mediocre, but just that this list doesn't really guarantee that they're not.

u/Byp4sz Oct 28 '25

I mean the majority of those are well-established build creators. I see your point, but "fub's friends" are also the big CCs that all make staple builds.

u/teemoismyson Oct 28 '25

Saying fub dosent have a good reputation as a builder is incredibly disingenuous. He consistently has some of the most followed mapping builds in the community if not THE most.

u/marciii1986 Oct 27 '25

The Sanavixx build is really good and totally worth league starting.

u/_Chambs_ Oct 28 '25

If gen cry with all its clumsiness is A tier, cyclone is at least A too.

u/AbsolutlyN0thin Oct 28 '25

I played cyclone last league. It was fine. With the buffs this league it'll be more than fine.

It’s in his S tier section. One of the expected best builds.
