The Grappler's Map

Grappler type

The Cyclone

T·S·C·D

A whirlwind of fast, daring passing that spins guards apart before they can set.

The Cyclone is fast, positional passing with a gambler's streak. You pass on the move and take chances the Matador wouldn't, spinning the guard apart before it can organize. Thrilling when it lands, exposed when the pace outruns your control.
