This is a creator-reported playtest lead, not a verified guide. Skills, numbers and interactions can change with every patch.
Core skills
Only skills named in public sources. Nothing is filled in to make the build look complete.
The main skill named in the title and shown on a Samurai.
A code in the description implies an import/export build feature; the format is undocumented.
How it plays
A spin-to-win melee shell on the Samurai. The interesting part is not the tier number; it is that Cyclone may be available outside the Warrior and that builds can be shared as codes.
The 3:21 clip is a showcase, not a tutorial. There is no tree, support list or defensive plan.
Strengths
- Cyclone on a fast melee class.
- Evidence of build-code sharing in the alpha.
- Short and easy to inspect.
Weaknesses
- Tier numbers were renumbered; T200 is not a stable rank.
- No tree, supports or gear.
- The build code may not survive a patch.
What to verify
- 01 Is Cyclone class-agnostic, or does the Samurai get its own version?
- 02 Does the BO1 code still import after the latest patch?
- 03 What supports turn Cyclone into single-target damage?
- 04 Does the Samurai have a movement skill outside Cyclone?
Gear direction
No public gear list. A Cyclone build usually wants attack speed and area; confirm those stats exist before chasing them.
Do not treat the creator's tier as a gearing benchmark.
Defence
Spinning in place is a defensive problem. Look for a guard skill, block or a second movement tool.
No defensive setup is shown.
