Calm aim coaching: pendragon.store/products/coaching As promised I have opened up some slots for personal calm aim coaching from me, and will be accepting the first 5 paid students for my first batch.🥳 I have been working on a calm aim video guide the last few months so this is mainly to see how the entire process works through the mind of the viewers, in order to better tailor the video guide properly to you the viewer before dropping it. The small group of students is so I can focus on them and streamline my process without getting overwhelmed, and then later on I might accept more if I continue doing them after the full guide drops, but I most likely won't as this is a more limited time thing. ❤ If you cannot afford it please do not pay! just wait for the video to drop!! 😡
Coming from a lower-level cypher main (silver), a lot of the initial enticement to get into Cypher comes from the util placement that gets you kills without them ever seeing you. So a lot of Cyphers I see at this level have great trips but don't know how to properly utilize them or don't focus on improving gunplay because they expect to get the kill before you see them. Also Pendragon is a goated series I loved those books
Yeah 100%. A lot of lower level players pick cypher to play passive and compensate for their bad aim which ends up holding them in low elo for years, because they are constantly improving their cypher setups and not their overall gameplay. It's why I always advocate for anyone below Ascendant to learn a couple of simple setups for each map and invest the rest of the free time into fundamentals like crosshair placement, peeking methods, aim fundamentals etc. This way they can build upon their already built foundation with their cypher knowledge rather than overcompensate with setups.
Cypher plays a major role in clearing hookah/bathroom/garden/on site/closed areas with one smoke and camera before your duelist enters into hookah/bathroom so that the initiator can focus it's resources into the actual site
There's no such thing as "basic". This is a flawed measurement that Cypher mains use and is exactly what I mean when I say players overcomplicate and overthink when they play Cypher. The value of a setup comes from it's effectiveness and not in it's complexity. In a meta where every Cypher main has the craziest Tiktok setups I found that on many occasions switching up and doing the opposite has caused great success and increased the effectiveness of each trip, of course you can't use the same setups over and over so make sure you're constantly switching up trip locations and your positioning. However! I strongly believe that until around Ascendant 1-2 low elo players are so scared of executing sites that it actually makes Cypher harder than in higher elos. "Basic" setups tend to work less there since they play so damn slowly, they walk every angle and end up seeing the trips, but that's also why I recommend learning fundamentals instead of crazy cypher setups. Having good technique greatly beats having Tiktok setups :) For the first clip where they kept walking into the trips if I remember correctly their gekko mentioned their team vc was bugged so it was a 1 in a million type of moment where the stars aligned. It'll probably next happen again to me :(
@@Pendragon_gg I mean I have mained Cypher for a year now with 450 hrs and I get those 25kill + games but ig ppl are getting used to most setups like in ascent A I can think of 3 setups with 2 trips in site which gets easily broken if u have sova or raze but if u play backsite.. retake is hard so yah I'm hardstuck now
@@Pendragon_gg plus they keep checking angles and enter slow idk if it's just my server thing it's not like I don't get kills using trips but it has become quite rare to get like a ace or 4k
one thing i learned from this video, after being hardstuck diamond, i now know you dont have to face the switch on the door to close it on Ascent A site
I appreciate the kind words and support ❤️ and yeah I was 1k subs just yesterday and now almost 5k! the amount of love and support has been absolutely incredible :D
It's something I actively try to be mindful of since I'm prone to frustration due to my perfectionism. Luckily with games like Valorant every game is winnable if you play insanely well, so I find it hard to blame teammates since I know if I play better we would win. I remind myself "If tenz was on my team we would win". So I just focus on myself and getting better :) Which is the oppsite of league (which I played for almost a decade) where if your team ints then many games are truly unwinnable.
In the last clip, only god knows what Sova was trying to do. He baited you into oblivion, and with that plantspot no way he wouldnt panic the moment Deadlock taps it
I often intentionally don't use it. E.g. if people rotate away if they see cam, and to make the enemies guess where I am. Cam is great if I want early info for fast rotations etc but I prefer to have fun and just frag out :)
So what if it is. Just enjoy the video, or leave. Nothing constructive about weird comments like that. Gotta be real bored to pop into someone's videos just to comment some arrogant nonsense nobody asked for
I just discovered your channel yesterday. safe to say you are one of my new favourite valo creators. you deserve so much more recognition, ans ill be looking forward to all your new content 🔥🔥
is it just me or are the graphics so good here? I can't quite put my finger on what it is but it looks so satisfying. Is it a video filter or in game graphics settings? I would love to replicate them in my game if its possible
when at lotus C site, you can put trap near the big box, then you can wallshoot from top C behind (not waterfall, the other one from spawn defending). It is good for when you want to go back and wait your friend
As a cyper main this guy is the reason my enemy slow pushing trying to get info if cyper on site. And if it is then they always rotate lmao. Me: "Holding into nothing"💀⚰️
I liked the first 2 trips on lotus c, another good trip i like to use is off the right side aide of the box, u can place it diagonally across the entrance covering the whole entrance
I've been a duelist main since I started playing around a year and a half ago and bounce around Immo 1-3. I picked up Cypher just a few days ago as my new main agent (A huge change I know lol) These videos are a big help, thanks
bro xD i just watched another video from you about 2 hours ago... you just got like 1,5k followers in less than a day.. congrats bro, deserved for these good videos
what rank is this? i mean when im playing unranked every trip i place is either shot down without catching anybody or shot down when it catches 1 person
why does it feel like it takes longer for enemies to kill you in higher ranks, ive been diamond 3 before and i feel that was easier than gold (which i am rn hehe...)
It's usually differences in timings and movement (not using ad movement and also walking around corners). I'd also argue the difference in mental clarity too. For example for you it might seem you are dying really fast but in reality it's just your perception making it seem fast due to inefficiencies in your gameplay such as your crosshair placement being off so you're wasting time readjusting, your movement being off so you are wasting time stopping your target -> reacting -> stopping, panicking, and lots of other factors. If you went and recorded + timed every interaction you have with enemies in each elo you will come to the conclusion that time to kill does decrease as ranks increase. When I watch my friends play in lower elo games the games feel like they are being played in slow motion there's almost all the time in the world to react even when caught off guard. One way you can fix it is by going into deathmatch and removing your fear of dying by moving around the map until you spot enemies and then simply aiming at their heads without ever shooting and then just track their heads and they move around trying to shoot you you need to also move realistically left or right using only A or D and you will see that it's all in your head since you're not dying as fast as you initially thought. Once this fear of death is removed you will stop panicking and you will see the enemies movements super clear and you will stop feeling like you die immediately.
Good video mate, will use your ideas. whats your rank? your teammates sometimes are playing very odd, like diamond level, and the enemies are also sometimes not that great in positioning. Your gameplay definitely deserves a good high rank, like immortal or something Also love how patient you are with those trip kills, very confident love it

as a low rank cypher im worried im winning too much, as i dont want enemies that know what they doing

In low elo play reyna till ascendant to improve your gun skills
@@ThaDoggo dude just getting to ascendant is enough to help you improve aim
You're the reason I started playing Cypher.
His trip reworks just makes him even more fun to play.
Absolutely love the combo of chill vibes and amazing plays! Keep it up man 😍

love how chill your vids are plus you give a lot of helpful commentary during gameplay
"Be aggressive"
New duelist found "cypher"
4:31 PENETRATION DRAGON 🗣🗣🔥🔥
keep it up man, ur videos are amazing, love this style. ngl youre giving me prime yay vibes, with low sens and tapping everyone 💗
I miss prime Yay 😔
playing against a cypher with good trips while attacking has to be the most rage inducing part of this game
why dont my enemies get caught so easily in those basic trips.. like its so hard

Love calm music at the background. Makes video so cozy ☺️
one thing i learned from this video, after being hardstuck diamond, i now know you dont have to face the switch on the door to close it on Ascent A site
I love your vids and they inspired me to become a cypher main, Keep up the amazing work!
bro your vids are so comfortable to watch makes me feel a better player, u deserve a sub
JUST F*CKIN GIVE HIM THE ACE BROO
bro popped off. I see comments about 800 subs a few days ago. it's almost 4k now. Great content mate, truly worthwhile
I appreciate the kind words and support ❤️ and yeah I was 1k subs just yesterday and now almost 5k! the amount of love and support has been absolutely incredible :D
I love how you play this game with that background music, always calm even when losing, I envy you

@@Pendragon_ggoh that’s so nice new sub earned also a cypher main!
Great clips! Also, "We don't talk about it." lmao
First time i watched pendragon's videos. i think i'm gonna end up watching a lot more due to the satisfaction i gain from this
4:30 he caught me off guard lol
love this style of val content
I love you more 😳
yay new pendragon!!! love watching your videos
Appreciate you 🤝❤️ got more bangers coming up soon >:)
In the last clip, only god knows what Sova was trying to do. He baited you into oblivion, and with that plantspot no way he wouldnt panic the moment Deadlock taps it
LOL yeah no idea but I had the situation under wraps :) I was just toying around with the deadlock
im truly grateful i learnt so many setups from this dude
great stuff i watched his video last night at 2k subs now he’s at 4k, keep up the good work.
yeah the love and support is crazy! I blinked and went from 1k to 4k over night 😭 I appreciate you all so much
yeah ik i was watching before bed and i wake up and at 4k
Best Cypher i've ever seen so far
this vid alone deserves a sub! great video!!
wow. a cypher main that is actually funny. a rare occurrence indeed.
I LOVE THE NOTES YOU PUT
Thanks a lot 😭 i get paranoid that people don't care about them
4:11 he played cypher so much hes becoming him
thank you so much for teaching me all of this. I was so braindead that I forgot you can wallbang and instead waste your cypher smokes and just die
Valorant walls are made of paper :) it should be illegal to not shoot through them!
Ngl, ppl never go into my trips, like i barely see 1 trip trigger in 5-10 rounds 💀
as a cypher main i eat this sh*t up. loved the content from the start, ez sub
ur aim is so calm and everything is so good ur such an underrated cypher main fr! just 1 tip i mostly didnt see ya using ur cam
I often intentionally don't use it. E.g. if people rotate away if they see cam, and to make the enemies guess where I am. Cam is great if I want early info for fast rotations etc but I prefer to have fun and just frag out :)
Oh.. nice bro keep it up i love ur vids
@@Pendragon_gg can't you just put it on other site so you can make them rotate to your site
congratulations for the 1k subscribers!
OMG i love you and your gameplay dude your so skilled
I love you more
Ngl cypher is a hell of a ability carried agent
Seems like low elo or unrated. These opponents are all in disorder. Good players never get caught in default cypher trips.
He is immortal
its probably unrated but up to high asc in eu and all ranks except radiant on other regions people usually get caught easily
@akabanekarma5507 I havent seen a single sage since Plat do that shitty B exec wall on B Split. That wall is horrible and most sages know that dia +
So what if it is. Just enjoy the video, or leave. Nothing constructive about weird comments like that. Gotta be real bored to pop into someone's videos just to comment some arrogant nonsense nobody asked for
@@awakenedcodex3766it is actually constructive, these highlights are good for TH-cam and entertainment but it’s against very poor elo
way to stay calm in that last clip. i wouldve been yelling at the sova to hurry up lol
I had it under control 😎
I KEEP PRESSING TAB EVERY TIME HE GETS A KILL (out of habit) 😂
broooo you are sooo goood frrrrr how is that brotherrrrr
💓
1:13 i actually discovered this same trip(on a lower part of the wood) and have used it a couple dozen times
You know he's serious when he has cypher as his profile picture
The most serious! 🕵♂️
2:21 WOW i have to use this one, also i love your content and text, im a fan
I just discovered your channel yesterday. safe to say you are one of my new favourite valo creators. you deserve so much more recognition, ans ill be looking forward to all your new content 🔥🔥
Thanks a lot for the kind words and support
THIS IS 🔥
No you are B)
So this is why a lot of gold to plat cypher player started using guardian. Love your content man keep it up
Oh no 😂 I'm sorry for what I've caused
In the last clip that Sova really thought he did something by flanking from narnia! xD
6:22 the accent is like a Sova)
idk who tf are u but 4:29 minutes into the video I just had to subscribe and drop a like SUPER CLEAN GAMEPLAY INDEED PENDRAGON IS THE GOAT
Much love
Those shots are CLEAN AF resspect, I hope we never meet in a comp
this is some elaborate scheme 😭🔥
3:58 DID THAT JETT TELEPORT?
is it just me or are the graphics so good here? I can't quite put my finger on what it is but it looks so satisfying.
Is it a video filter or in game graphics settings? I would love to replicate them in my game if its possible
damn, this is the 4th cypher channel i found (not in a bad way), good quality too, nice
It's nice to see that even in high elo, people refuse to shoot cypher tripwires for their teammates.
that battlepass skin has to be one of the best
Agreed, if it had a special sound that was deeper it would be perfect
Bro is putting the prophecy in place
when at lotus C site, you can put trap near the big box, then you can wallshoot from top C behind (not waterfall, the other one from spawn defending). It is good for when you want to go back and wait your friend
That sounds pretty cool I'll try it out next time I play retake on Lotus C >:)
ur gaphics is so good man!
a cypher with good setups and cracked aim? finally
one of a kind >:)
As a cyper main this guy is the reason my enemy slow pushing trying to get info if cyper on site. And if it is then they always rotate lmao.
Me: "Holding into nothing"💀⚰️
I have a weird glitch that enemies destroy my wires and shoot back
I liked the first 2 trips on lotus c, another good trip i like to use is off the right side aide of the box, u can place it diagonally across the entrance covering the whole entrance
if cypher was a duelist this guy would be in the best teams

These videos are a big help, thanks
always calm as ever haha, keep up the good stuff pendragon, may i ask whats the first bgm you used? i love those kinds of music haha
I became Cypher main after watching your videos .( opponent players get irritated ) XD.
im here wondering how some of these trips work cus everytime i trip a sneaky trip it dont work
if my team got caught like that first clip it would send me into a downward spiral
cypher: everything goes according to my plan :>
2:07 there aren't even bulletholes on the other side that is so absurd to me
Sova killing Deadlock at the last clip lmao
is that what cypher says when putting trips
eeey a fellow cypher main with dragon in his name. I've reinstalled valorant after like 2months break and got instantly recommended your video.
only 600 subscribers is crazy, you're really smart
Appreciate you chief 🫡 600 in 2 weeks has been an incredible show of support :D looking forward to the growth we will push this year
Swinging with 1hp is a different kind of confidence
bro is the king
yo these trips are great im a cypher main so imma start using them
I like your calm aim more than cypher trips, can I know the refresh rate of your monitor ?
240hz I find it kinda unplayable under that
