Hey guys it's Livia again, this time we'll be taking a closer look to how a fully ranged mental Cable can be built and how he performs.
We can all agree that cable doesn't have the highest damage in the game, in fact he is one of the low tier heroes, but he's also really fun to play, he has cool animation and an overall ok kit, so before we begin lemme tell you about his pros and cons:

 

PRO:

- Cool animations

- Good AOE

- Decent TTL

- Very versatile

 

CON:

- Low damage output

- Can struggle agains mobile enemies

- Boring voice acting and lines

- Terrible costumes

 

 

 

ROTATION

 

 

Ok, so Cable's rotation is a little messy and you'll mess it up as many times as I do for sure, so I will grace you guys with a brain rot version aswell.

Peak performance:

Start with  then call the gang by putting down two  lay down 3  hit  followed by  and use your  hold down  through the whole process and use  to reduce de cd on Psimitar Slam (you have to hit a target otherwise it won't reduce de cd), your damage will mostly come from a combnation  of your dots and clones combined with psimitar slam and telekinetic overload.

DON'T FORGET TO RFRESH YOUR CLONES AND DOTS! (like I do)

Bainrot:

Start with  then use your clones  tap  hit  slam  explode  sit back and barrage them with 

Try to to refresh your clones and dots whenever

 

UNIQUES

 

 

Cable has some decent unique choices, however, since we're building him as a mental damage dealer, power duration is what we're mostly looking for, to increasse the durations of   and the buff from  and also the procs from our artifacts, with that in mind here's the set with the best results in my testings, followed by some placeholders in case you're missing something:

 

Slot 1:  is a no brainer another decent alternative would be  it's a very decent unique with good statsa nice placeholder until you're able to grab a FOT.

Slo 2: portal hold a little advantage over  cuz of it's brutal stats but honestly either one is a fine choice for the second slot with almost no difference in their timers, both are easy to grab so pick the you feel more comfortable with.

Slot 3:  has power duration and a very nice combination of stats for us to use, so it is in fact the better option here, cable's own unique  is again a very decent alternative as coat can be a pain to obtain.

Slot 4:  is my preferred choice as the stats are just too good to sleep on, however  and  can be used aswell they just don't offer as much.

Slot 5:  ofc it had to be Jinn, the go to for every ranged energy scaling hero the stats are unmatched, but since not everyone has access to it, feel free to use his own  wich is honestly not that bad for a placeholder.

 

Artifacts

 

 

While I do believe this is the best combination of artifacts we have right now, there are other options from wich you can choose.

Offensive:    

Deffensive: 

 

RINGS

 

 

A good cosmic ring with BSR + CDR or BDR is the better option however there are other options such as  for more defense, there is also  pick whatever you like, just keep in mind this will heavily affect your damage output!

 

 LEGENDARIES

 

 

If you don't have access to a lvl 80 legendary, the stick to , otherwise use 

 

URUS

 

 

Bowazon  is the best rune word for however getting a tyr and a saturn rune can be quite difficult, so your best secong option would be  god of mischief, loki runes are easy to get during odin's event and it's not so bad honestly.
PS: I don't recommend using an offensive uru on Cable, but your call.

 

BLESSINGS

 

 

Hela all the way, cable is very hungry for bruts so I highly recommend doing x4 

 

MEDALLIONS

 

 

Since we're aiming to stack as much power duration as we can,  is a no brainer, however if want another viable option, then  is a decent choice.

 

 

 

 

FUN FACTS

 

Playing other heroes and learning their playstyle is always awesome, Cable was no different and I learned sooo much about him, did you know that when you take the psionics expert talent in the 4th row you're not only making your signature deal mental damage, you're also spliting it's damage between mental and energy, so you have 2 chances to brut it, a brut for the mental damage and one for the energy damage, so if you ever see you signature popping 2 big red numbers, well now you know why. 

Despite swiftw lunge wording stating that it does a dot when you hit your enemy it actually doesn't it's best used just to lower the cd on your psmitar slam.

Teleknetic overload has a huuuge area of effect wich is actually bigger then what is showed and will buff your signature after you take the 4 row talent since it's now classified as a psion power.

Techno-Organic Soldier is actually not good for mental cable the reason behind this is that, you have to loose a lot of buffs to your psionic powers in order to get it, therefore making it unvaible for a purely mental build, Kinetic Repulsion is ass, but at least it is something to feel the gap...

The taunt from your signature is not irresistable, so most bosses and some enemies can just ignore it, making you miss it completely, so play smart, try to use the aggro provided by your clones to lure them in, once the're locked into attacking the clones, throw the bomb!

I only have 610 IP at the moment so don't expect Cable timers to be under the 3 minute mark, but with that being said, I don't think those are bad timers considering I didn't invest in his ultimate and the low IP, that just goes to show, that he can in fact be more than just a synergy hero.

Eye for weakness provides a much bigger vulnerability the psychic haze, however it's duration is not affected by power duration, therefore it's downtime is way too long for us to take advantage.
