Mother Cybele End Game Build Guide

Mother Cybele is a legendary champion that was available as a fusion in 2021. She has useful skills that come in handy in different areas of the game and has found a solid use on Hydra thanks to her kit. Although Mother Cybele can be used in any content of the game, her builds for these tasks can radically differ in terms of gear and masteries. In this guide, we will look at a universal PvE build for late game players, including Hydra.

Skills

Her AOE attack on A1 places a Decrease SPD debuff on emenies and fills her Turn Meter by 15% helping her take more turns. Her A2 places Increase DEF and Revive On Death buffs on the team and her A3 allows her to swap HP with an ally. The cherry on the top is her aura – Increases Speed in All Battles by 24%.

Booking her A2 is a priority and you can stop there if you get lucky as she gets a sufficient amount of turns to place her debuff with A1. However, if you’re aiming for Nightmare every single bit counts and it’s advised to top her up to maximum in this case.

Masteries

For maximum effectiveness in PvE, she needs the Warmaster T6 mastery of the offensive branch for more damage on Bosses. The second branch can be Support, as we will need masteries for Accuracy to place debuffs, as well as Master Hexer and Sniper to help increase the chance for Decrease SPD debuff and extend its duration.

This option excludes masteries that can fill turn meter. This is done so that if you want to change this build for the Clan Boss, you do not have to redo the masteries, because they do may not work in cpecific speed tunes. However, if you absolutely sure that you dont need CB then Rapid Response and Arcane Celerity are great choices.

It is also worthy of note that if you can get Brimstone awakening of at least level 1 it will allow Mother Cybelle to deal considerably more damage on any Hydra.

Gear & Stats Build

Mother Cybele can use any set of artifacts. In this example, Relentless is selected to take extra turns, deal more damage with A1 and to artificially reduce A2’s cooldown to keep the Increase DEF buff on the team for a longer period of time. Perception is selected as the second set to reach more accuracy.

Since we will use it on the Hydra, we need to select the appropriate stats, about 350-400 accuracy, 227-251+ speed for Nightmare. The rest of the stats can be focused on HP and DEF.

Recommended Main Stats

  • Gloves – HP%/DEF%
  • Chest – HP%
  • Boots – Speed
  • Ring – HP/ DEF
  • Amulet – HP/DEF
  • Banner – Accuracy

Revenge and Refresh Accessory are an excellent choice to go with her kit.

Hydra Team & Strategy

On Hydra, Mother Cybele will perform several roles:

  1. The first function is to constantly place a Decrease SPD debuff on the Hydra heads, slowing them down. It’s an extremely important debuff that allows your champions to have less speed overall and deal more damage while the battle lasts.
  2. The second function is the team’s safe, the Increase DEF buff will reduce the damage from the Hydra, and in the case when its attack will inevitably kill several team members, Revive On Death buff will make it possible for them to revive and heal up.
  3. The third task is to deal damage with the help of the Warmaster mastery and AOE attacks on A1.

A separate subtle game requires her A3 skill, that will help replenish the health of allies by swaping it so that the whole team remains at a high HP level.

This is an example of budget team for 1-key Brutal Hydra difficulty, however, this is not the limit and you can fight with this team on NM difficulty. The team composition and roles are as follows:

  • Mother Cybele for Decrease SPD debuff, useful buffs and SPD aura.
  • Golden Reaper for Increase SPD buff and Decrease ATK debuff.
  • Mithrala Lifebane for Strengthen, Shield, Increase DEF buffs and cleanse dubuffs from team.
  • Uugo for super important Block Buffs debuff and healing.
  • Husk for Max enemy HP dps.
  • Geomancer for dps.

End Game Dungeon Runs

Dragon 25

Mother Cybele in the late game does not seem to be as popular in dungeons. Of course, in the mid game she will help you to complete the necessary levels, but in the late game we are interested in speed runs. Nevertheless she can be useful in teams for fast clearing with Seer. Thanks to the Increase Speed aura and the buffs she places on allies she might come in handy. If you would like to optimise Mother Cybelle for Seer speed runs further you could use Shield based sets for an extra buff source.

Here is an example team for clearing level 25 of Dragon’s Lair dungeon:

  1. Mother Cybele for speed aura and buffs.
  2. Lydia the Deathsiren for AOE Decrease DEF and Weaken debuffs and some buffs.
  3. Seer for dps.
  4. Prince Kymar for cooldown reset of ally skills.
  5. Armiger to quickly kill the Boss with the MAX HP skill.

Fire Knight 25

In the Fire Knight’s Castle dungeon Mother Cybele is a good choice. Team will also be based on a quick clearing waves with Seer. High speed on Alure is needed for the boss turn meter to stay low, so Increase SPD aura is useful there, plus the Decrease SDP debuff will help keep the Fire Knight’s shield down. Here is an example team for clearing level 25 of Fire Knight dungeon:

  1. Mother Cybele for speed aura and buffs.
  2. Lydia the Deathsiren for AOE Decrease DEF and Weaken debuffs and some buffs.
  3. Seer for dps.
  4. Prince Kymar for cooldown reset of ally skills.
  5. Alure for decrease boss turn meter.

Spider 20

In other dungeons, Mother Cybele is not such a good choice, she will not help you get through them quickly. However, it is worth paying attention to her potential for Spider 20 where, due to the Force afinity, she can be an affinity tank for spiderlings. Her HP swap and useful buffs also help keep normal HP level for the team. Here is an example composition for Spider 20:

  1. Mother Cybele for tanking damage from spiderlings plus SPD aura, useful buffs and Decrease SPD debuff.
  2. Apothecary for SPD buff and healing.
  3. Stag Knight for AOE Decrease ATK and DEF debuffs.
  4. Coldheart for TM depletion and quick MAX HP damage.
  5. Armiger for decreasing the turn meter and MAX HP damage.

Faction Wars Team & Strategy

In faction wars, Mother Cybele can be useful with her Increase SPD aura, Decrease SPD debuff and Increase DEF and Revive buffs. You can also use a Stun set on her thanks to the AOE attack on A1 that will allow her to CC the waves quite well. There is a certain problem on the 21st floor as there are Valkyries on the 2nd wave that are negative affinity and decrease TM if you use buffs. Disabling A2 skill in Mother Cybele’s AI partially solves this issue.

Here is an example of a team that made it to level 21:

  1. Mother Cybele for Increase SPD aura, Decrease SPD debuff and useful buffs.
  2. Rector Drath for revive and healing.
  3. Miscreated Monster for Stun debuff and useful buffs.
  4. Doompriest for cleansing debuffs and healing.
  5. Crypt Witch for dps.

Frost Spider Team & Strategy

Mother Cybele can also be used to quickly clear the floors of Doom Tower. This will be a team based on Seer with buffs, debuffs and cooldown reduction covered on the previous dungeon pages. Thanks to the Increase SPD aura we can overtake opponents even at high levels. Here is an example of clearing 119 floor Hard difficulty Frost Spider rotation:

  1. Mother Cybele for Increase SPD aura and buffs.
  2. Lydia the Deathsiren for AOE Decrease DEF and Weaken debuffs and useful buffs.
  3. Seer for dps.
  4. Prince Kymar for cooldown resets of ally skills.
  5. Renegade for cooldown decreases of ally skills.
