Cypher is the economy trait in TFT Set 14, featuring a unique cash-out system that occurs at predetermined stages. Players gain Intel by losing combat (with bonuses for loss streaks) and killing enemies.

Intel can only be traded once during specific rounds: 3-3, 3-7, 4-3, or 4-7. After trading, Cypher champions receive Attack Damage and Ability Power buffs.

Trait Bonuses:

• (3) 1x Intel, 25% AD & AP
• (4) 1.5x Intel, 40% AD & AP
• (5) 2x Intel, 50% AD & AP

• Early game tank unit, typically replaced after cashout

LeBlanc (2-Cost) - Strategist

• Ability: Data Spike - Sends increasing number of sigils that deal magic damage
