Building THE BEST POSSIBLE Cyno | Genshin Impact Polearms Only

[@Kekvin]

Just for clarification me saying Candace is a "bad unit" doesn't mean I won't build her anyways. I still plan to upgrade Candace and playtest her in the future

[@rkdrago4433]

Did you try the new event 4 star polearm on Cyno? Im using it currently on him and it feels decent but it looks really good.

[@itzsadieplayz9669]

I wouldn’t exactly say Candace is a bad character, with a decent build and the right party set up, she can be really good. Plus, when doing these challenges I think it’s always worth to level every character you can use because some times it’s not very many

[@froggy5748]

Mine is only lvl50 and she deals 5k with her skill even though I have no clue how to parry with her, I agree with you lol. She’s really good with the right artifacts and party and she’s also super fun to play

Little tip for cyno! When on burst, wait for the eye and use his e It deals more damage + the burst stays on longer Oh and the event polearm is a good f2p weapon for xiao! It is also very good for cyno

[@agentroniff6782]

But my team is also rxn based so in this case white tassel with atk% sands might be better with echos of offerings set

[@amvbro7033]

When we said white tassel is good we meant it is good with aggrevate reaction , so unless you get a dendro polearm user soon switching to a 4 star weapon will be better

[@Morganaplays]

Which one?

[@amvbro7033]

@@Morganaplays he can either use the blackcliff because he doesn’t have any better option for now , or buy the battle pass and get death match witch honestly I am surprised he didn’t do that considering he is lacking weapons and already spent on the account, the battle pass would be an amazing investment . Like seriously when he is not running cyno in aggrevate since he has no d’endroit polearm yet , any 4 star weapon would be better than white tassel , since the white tassel has such low base atk that only get fixed by aggrevate since atk doesn’t matter as much in aggrevate more so Em , so even fav spear or any craftables like the Inazuma and sumeru ones will work just fine

[@Morganaplays]

@@amvbro7033 what about dragonbane?

[@amvbro7033]

@@Morganaplays the dragonbane passive first of all , is basically useless because when playing cyno the enemies will usually be applied with electro so the dragonbane passive won’t be up since you have to be hitting enemies effected by hydro and pyro for it to work , also the Em the weapon provide is equal to all craftable Em spears but unlike the dragonbane the other craftables actually have usable passives for example the Inazuma one is good for funneling energy to cyno witch is important since he doesn’t have an electro battery for him witch I’ll make his er requirements much higher so that weapon will help with that , while the other sumeru spear is good to give him more Em , but for now I think attack is more valuable for him than Em since he doesn’t have much options, dendro isn’t available, overhead is terrible in early game since most abyss chambers and content has small enemies , and electro charge is impossible since even if he use candace , cyno’s electro infusing can’t be converted to hydro , so he has no electro charge teams , so his only option is dooble geo with zhongli yunjin for the geo resonance and yunjin can buff his normal attacks inside his burst as well and a flex slot for whatever element he need . So my advice for him would be either get the battle pass polearm it is very valuable and good on multiple characters, or craft the Inazuma spear because our if the 4 available it is the best one we have m it has good base attack with good Em and an energy regeneration passive aggressive itch he will need since he has no battery whatsoever

[@Morganaplays]

@@amvbro7033 dragon bane provides 221 em at lvl 90 and kitan cross spear provides 110 em at lvl 90

Actually Candace is quite good, hydro Hu Tao basically. A hydro dps should be very useful for this account. You could do a vape team for Candace, with Xiangling and Thoma!

Support Candace doesn't help this account much. On field driver Candace would be a hydro character this account needs. Put 4 piece Heart of Depth for her artifacts, and if you don't have another good polearm give her prototype star glitter. Her NA multipliers are good so DPS Candace is viable especially for an account like this.

[@ayoshi5616]

Some cyno tips from playing him for a few days: Try to time his e with the eye that appears on screen, you’ll have to wait a bit instead of using as soon as it’s off cooldown. Unlike Xiao who is fine on his own, Cyno works better with elemental reactions, so that’s probably why you felt his damage was a bit lackluster

[@Idkaskagainpls]

Yea

[@escanorianamin1091]

For me the e skill should be use when using ult. Slightly after using burst, and spam e skills when eyes come. ( burst + skills, and wait for others eyes appears and spam skills) if u noticed, his skill will come on the right time on the first eyes even using skils after burst

[@ayoshi5616]

@@escanorianamin1091 I agree with using right after burst, but the skill doesn’t come out of cooldown at the same time the eye appears. The eyes appear every 4 seconds and the cooldown is 3, you can see in the video he sometimes misses the timing because of that

nobody would have guessed

[@aakash2868]

Yunjin is actually good with cyno (i think), as his attacks during his burst get buffed by yunjin's normal attack buff

White tassel isn't bad, you just need dendro for quicken, since you're building him with EM he can't do damage by himself, he needs some type of reaction

[@d7oom766]

I suggest you farm tenacity for zhongli and you will get some pieces of the physical set for Rosa and work your way for the true mains (xiao/cyno)

[@productions__]

Just wanted to say that for your cyno echoes will be the best in slot since you cannot do any useful reactions with your cyno so echoes is the best. Also please please please!! Use cyno's e when the eye pops up it increases your damage potential massively! Also very good easy r5 spear for cyno in the event.

The way I understand candice, she is good if you have the correct team for her. Only issue that there aren't yet any characters that work well enough with her. + you are also very limited what you can use as it is polearm only, but that also means she might be good again based on the fact that you can only use polearms.

You don’t need geo to activate the big rock things. You can just plunge attack on it, and you could have left Zhongli’s E near the entrance.😅

reason why zhongli's shield breaks so fast during the domain is purely cause he needs more HP LOL you want to aim for a 4-piece tenacity and 35k-40k HP if you're using him as a shield unit only

You can do the new event to get the weapon, it’s good for cyno and easy to get. Just start it and do the first two/three actual parts and do one of the quest for it and it should get you to 200 barrel thing

[@Ben-bx7tg]

Love the videos, I highly recommend you focus hard on farming artifacts. Going from low level blue/purple to even medium level purple/gold artifacts will help alot. Plus you need lots of arrifact foder

[@arturvieira9991]

Too late to say this, but all of Zhongli's rush to break the wall was unnecessary. Unless I'm not mistaken, you just had to put a pillar in place and then hold his E next to that rock. He would create the shield, but not summon a pillar, and create the impact to resonate with the stone. Candace hold E is good as well, you can even farm ores with it. Just spam Zhongli and Candace hold E on any rock you see.

[@limeypi1539]

A reason you Xiao “doesn’t do any damage” is probably because you haven’t focused your time and resin into a specific artifact set for him. I don’t know what the talent levels are but it increases damage by a decent amount of you level them. Also level him to 80.

[@malcolmvalentine9857]

True that

white tassel isn't bad for him but it requires an EM sands and a lot of reactions (mostly aggravate)

[@velmod_]

"Sadly I play on NA, so I'm sorry to EU and Asia players" Me on TW, HK: 🥺

[@eyesofd1llah]

hey Kekvin, i should recommend trying the strongbox for the thundering fury set and it is cyno's best set at 4pc

[@Zimerick]

The best artifact sets for Cyno are Gilded Dreams, Gladiator, and Thundering Fury but with Thundering Fury you have to change up his combos a bit more. Gladiator may be better for now considering the ease of getting those from bosses. Shimenawa doesn't seen like a good idea just because it takes 15 of his energy away after using his Skill, which already doesn't help with his energy problems especially with you not having another Electro to battery for him.

[@delulusions]

Make sure to build Candace!! She's so easy to build (kinda) and her hydro damage is a lot with her hold skill. I use her and I don't regret raising her, please raise her when you have the time

[@СтаниславСтанков-ъ9б]

When you were trying to unlock that artifact domain did you know you had to plunge attack on the giand rock not use a construct. You did it anyway so i guess it doesn't matter

[@sorahinari6319]

As a person who complained a lot about his damage being 'meh' but still loved him to death, if you plan on running white tassel on him think of running 4 piece glad. My ratio is a solid 51-212% and while this might not be corresponding to everyone, a glad-white tassel Cyno can play a lot better on his own on the field than being based on reactions like the rest of his sets usually require him to.

You should farm the guilded dreams domain since it's one of the easiest domains to farm and you can put any deepwood pieces you get into the strongbox and roll for either thundering fury or guilded dreams, that's how I farmed for my cyno's artifacts
