Strategy

Cyrax has one of the highest attacks for the gold tier, however his basic attacks are a bit unsafe. His Special Attack 1 doesn't kill the opponent but traps it in the net, giving this Cyber Lin Kuei the opportunity to hit and/or perform another special move. In a full Triborg team, Cyrax can do better than Sektor due to the easy Critical Chance increase by the SP1, plus the permanent increased Critical Damage, while Sektor only grants Fire DOT on SP1; with the Cyber Sub Zero, Sektor wouldn't be needed since the frostbite constantly drains power without the hazards that would imply Fire against Raiden/Dark or Liu Kang/Klassic. Not to mention that Cyrax's passive is one of the unique abilities that increase Critical Damage.

Triborg Cyrax can be used as a support character, giving the opportunity to attack to other fighters with faster attacks, who gain Critical Damage increase.

Interactions

Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Triborg. Having a card that "counters" Triborg does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good with

• Other Triborg characters: A whole Triborg team can make their one bar of power deadly for the enemy.
• Kung Lao/Hat Trick. Kung Lao buffs both Critical Chance and Critical Damage like Cyrax.
• Bo' Rai Cho/Dragon Breath and Kung Jin/Prime. These characters along with Cyrax give increased Critical Hit Chance.

• Liu Kang/Flaming Fists: With the help of Cyrax's passive, Liu Kang can potentially deal a lot of basic damage.
• Jacqui Briggs/Kosplay: In her Sub-Zero costume, she would be able to deal more crit against Outworld opponents.

Countered By

• Raiden/Dark & Jade/MK11: Both characters heal from Cyrax Triborg's Bleed on Special 2, with Jade spreading this to MK11 teammates.
• Liu Kang/Klassic: Liu Kang is immune to Bleed and gains Critical Attack Boosts in place of bleed instead.
• Kitana/Day of the Dead & D'Vorah/Prime: Both characters are immune to Cyrax Triborg's Bleed.
• Mileena/Piercing: Mileena gains a Bar or Power for every Bleed that Cyrax Triborg does to her.
• Scorpion/Hellspawn, Kenshi/Elder God, & Kitana/Assassin: All of these characters are immune to Cyrax's Critical Chance and Damage with Kenshi spreading this immunity to Elder God teammates.
