The Incredible Transformation of Cyno (Complete C0 Review & Guide)

[@JelloImpact]

I do think some people have a point that I may have been a little unclear with my power judgement of him. Yes really do I think his top team is basically just as strong as other characters top teams. But there are better options than him in those teams (yae for aggravate, alhaitham for hyperbloom). You do NOT pull Cyno for meta alone. But I still stand by that his best team belongs in the same tier and right next to if not just a bit below those other top teams. Good power level, very low account value is what I said, but I just want to make sure I’m clear that for power level other option are usually better. But anyone who says he’s weak, or Way below those teams I don’t think is being honest either.

[@sparces]

one underrated advantage cyno has over alhaitham is consolidating both the quicken and hyperbloom driver into 1 unit, which lets him take full advantage of furina by running baizhu alongside nahida since alhaitham is dendro, he only has room for 1 other dendro on the team. you're not able to comfortably slot in baizhu without dropping nahida, which only leaves you with kuki for generating furina stacks if we ever get a teamwide electro healer that can also trigger hyperblooms off-field this will change, but right now alhaitham furina teams feel incomplete

[@MO-zk8qs]

I thought your assessment was pretty balanced. Too many stop at pure account value and not the details of what their best teams are and why they’re strong ✅

[@ronaldstanford1725]

To be honest I'm not pulling for Cyno only because I don't have Nahida or Raiden, and they are on some of the most premier teams that I see you have on all of your videos featuring either one or the other. Until I get both of those characters @Jello Impact my account won't feel complete even though I know you would say different because I have almost all the other characters that you have, without Nahida or Raiden my account feels like it's lacking

[@dogo523]

As a cyno player who pulled him on his first banner i'd like to warn all that you *REALLY* do not want to skip ER on him, all of his damage comes exclusively from his 80 energy burst and if you dont have it perfectly recharged by the end of the rotation you will wish you had pulled a different character His ER is extremely important and i'd seriously advise getting a solid 140% ER before focusing on his damage Another thing of note is that if you use DMC instead of nahida your ER problems are bigger Not only because he generates less particles overall but also because his dendro app is slower and this means less consistent thundering fury skill recharges (i still lack nahida so the 140% ER is based off DMC energy generation, with nahida you will need less)

[@Kizeha_Huks]

This. While he was listing his weapon options, he kinda glossed over ER ones like Skyward Spine. These aren't half bad if you don't have ER built in your artifacts. My Cyno has like 150 ER, and it's so comfortable to be able to swap out early while still getting your burst back when you need it. It alleviates his multi wave downside.

[@Saturday_Jones]

I agree with this statement, nothing worse than finishing an abyss floor early into your burst so you didn’t get to recharge his energy. It happens so often that I don’t mind sacrificing a little damage in place of ER

[@jamesfrancisgalang7350]

You don't Really need 140% if you have Fischl ( She can Battery Cyno, Especially with Fav Bow even on C0) Now DMC's ER will be pain (Pretty sure everyone can C6 him), Running with Sac Sword will be great since he can get more energy For Last slot For Hydro XQ will be his best option cuz he could focus more on ER making it possible to run him without Sac Sword Or Any strong Shielder or can provide Healing,DR, or IR

Beidou is underrated with Cyno for mobbing content. She gives: Interruption resistance Damage Reduction AoE coverage Extra Shield for bonus survivability 100% Hyperbloom Ownership to Cyno 15% Electro Shred at C6 The ER cost is not really that much of a problem with Electro Resonance & Favge.

[@naotonhan5253]

The thing is his team is strict, there's not much room for flexibility, Beidou could replace Nahida but then he loses a lot of bloom dmg, replace Furina then it's an aggravate team, works but not the best team for him, can't replace Baizhu though.

[@randomname3455-s1q]

I tried him for the first time in the battle event that ended a few days ago and for some reason his eye skill felt so satisfying to use. I will be pulling for Kuki on the upcoming banner, but if I accidentally get Cyno in the meantime, I wouldn't mind.

[@staidanom]

Thundering Fury really helps with Cyno's ER requirements and can easily reach higher damage totals in longer rotations compared to Guilded. You do have to be careful with your E timings cause from the third off-beat E onwards, Thundering Fury's cooldown reduction timing won't match with his Endseer passive. So basically after your 3rd Eyeseer skill, you have to wait even if your cooldown has reset, after which you can go back to spamming your skill off-cooldown. Also TF is overall more fun lol

[@peytonsharp6159]

is it really that good? I just got cyno & am hesitant to try TF since it sounds more complicated and less braindead, and i've been farming Deepwood/Gilded already, but you make it sound tempting. Maybe i will try later if i have extra resin to burn, haha.

[@kiomori]

I started as a Razor main until Cyno came out and then pulled him. I've loved playing his teams since! It started with Cyno/Xingqiu/Collei/Kuki, and then Cyno/XQ/Nahida/Kuki. Baizhu replaced Kuki. I sometimes use Fischl over Xingqiu when facing things like Oceanid. Now that Furina is out, I plan on adding her in to make the team you mentioned in your video. He's not the best in overworld just due to him being burst focused, but you did mention that. I don't have any five star polearms and currently have him on R1 Ballad of the Fjords. Not sure yet if I want to try to go for his weapon or not this patch.

[@mittenvonscrufflears7233]

I actually think Cyno could potentially get better due to the upcoming Natlan region. We've learned that the new character(I'm not even gonna attempt to spell her name) is based off of Overload reactions, and apparently she is going to be absolutely insane times infinity for those, and we will definitely get more characters in the future for that reaction, so I think that Cyno could potentially have a better Overload team in the future. Overload is scaled on EM, after all. At the very least, I think overload teams could become a viable team for Cyno

[@ThePenguinsKing]

We’re you referring to Chevreuse? Because if you did she limits the team to Pyro and Electro only which means giving up on Dendro reactions. I think she is great but for other units that can focus on Overload better than Cyno can. There aren’t many great off field pyro units that last as long as Cyno wants. Maybe Xiangling with constellations. But then you have 2 energy black holes on the team

[@mittenvonscrufflears7233]

@ThePenguinsKing Yeah, after playing with her I realize she isn't great with Cyno. But... my statement still stands that he could get buffed further and overload becomes viable with him as Natlan characters come out!

[@caparashon]

After the snub that he was done collectively by the community after his release, seeing this quality guide warms this Cyno main's soul. About the ER requirements, I'm running him with 4p GD and 146%, and he runs smoothly with other electros. However, in his Furina team (which I like to call Divine Justice) I have both her and Baizhu on fav to make them all work well, and even then there's been some moments where I'm still a bit short for his burst. It's definitely worth it, but just saying that non-TF Cynos might still struggle sometimes even with your threshold. Depends on the content, of course, as mob content gives more particles and it's not an issue there. I'd say 140s-150s is your minimum to feel more sure. Also, I've had a lot of fun and comfiness with Kuki as his healer and battery even if she steals a lot of hyperbloom pops (but that's not a problem since she normally has higher EM and stronger pop damage than him, even mine who wears tenacity in his team does a couple more k's)

[@putent9623]

What is ur build? If kuki is giving more dmg on hyperbloom I think ur cyno is low on em...

[@mikofanboy9711]

Hard disagree on "Enguffing Lighting not good on him because he doesn't want the ER" Cyno is very energy hungry Engulfing not only help his energy problems, it's also reward him for doing so by converting ER to Atk buff

[@claudiobeatrice311]

I like Cyno and I tried to play him in so many different ways. I have pretty much every character important to his comps, and at the end of the day I had to put an ER artifact on him to make sure he always has his burst ready. His hyperbloom or quickbloom team are so much harder to play compared to the others. If you play him in a quickbloom with Furina Nahida and Baizhou with a ER artifact, he's pretty viable and you won't lose that much EM thanks to Nahida.

[@putent9623]

If you use thundering furry, he won't have er issues,why? Because he does like 12 elemental skills plus with TF. Each one generating 1 or 2 particles.

[@Percynique]

now that we have this option, i think xilonen might be a usable alternative to baizhu. she doesn't give the dendro resonance but -36% elemental res and +40% elemental DMG bonus is a pretty good alternative. she may heal only the active character but maybe her healing can trigger furina's passive...

[@zdonek4166]

As I Cyno enjoyer, not gonna lie, I personally found new love for him when I started to play him in a Quickbloom comp that consists of: Cyno, Fishl/Beidou (depends on the enemies but mainly Fishl), Prototype Amber Nahida and Xingqiu. Resistance to interuption from XQ, healing from his swords and also Prototype, makes the team relatively safe, and the dmg this team makes is off the charts. Not sure if this team is mathematicly correct and for sure it has less overall dps then the Furina Cyno Quickbloom, but this team is unexpectedly comfy :)

So personally as a C2R1 Cyno haver, I still prefer to use Thundering Fury, to be able to use more skills during his burst. I'm not good enough to maximise them, but I still manage to fit always one and sometimes two extra skills. The extra energy helps with his needs as it's something I've been struggling with. I would probably need to get a bit more ER in general but.. eh.. it is what it is.

[@mfraye12]

I pulled for him this banner because I like his character and know that I don't mind the longer rotation (I find quickswap annoying sometimes with my keyboard layout actually). I had a built Nahida, Fischl, and Kokomi already so knew I already had a pretty good team to slot him in to. Also already had a Deathmatch back from my non-f2p days lol. I only have him to level 60 atm (I hate farming the scarabs lol) but even now with very less than optimal artifacts he's still very quickly tearing through WL 8 enemies. I'm excited to see what I can do with him in abyss once I get him built a bit more. And he's just really fun to play.

[@masterjedicat]

Cyno is definitely underestimated, but I think that Jello Impact overestimates him. Firstly, he's never the best alternative for a team. Alhaitham is better, Yae is slightly, but better, Keqing and DPS Raiden are approximately on the same level. Secondly, his long burst animation is uncomfortable and limits the characters he can play with. Although Yae and Keqing aren't that great in hyperbloom, they still have more characters to play with, because Cyno doesn't like being in a team with Kirara, Collei, Yao Yao, Sucrose, Jean, etc., which are decent in Keqing's and Yae's teams. Additionally, he doesn't have off-field electro damage or electro application, but Yae and Raiden do. Yae can be an off-field sub-dps in Spread, aggravate, taser and other teams, and Raiden is a great hyperbloom trigger (apart from having a hyper team without dendro, taser teams, and being a nice support slot in Eula teams, and, of course, Rational). Cyno is both not the best option in any team and not a very flexible unit with limited number of characters he can play with. Basically, if you don't want Cyno just because you like him, there's no reason to pull for him, because you can pull Raiden or Yae (if you have Kuki) and gain more. Although Keqing might be a slightly less powerful unit, especially in hyperbloom, if you do have her and Kuki or Raiden, Cyno is not gonna make your results in the Abyss much higher than they can be with Keqing. They are likely to be a bit higher, but still it's not enough to justify getting a character if you don't really like Cyno's lore, gameplay, etc. Even having Keqing and Kuki almost eleviates Cyno's value for your account (meta-wise). Of course, Jello Impact doesn't say "You must pull for him!", but his perception of Cyno affects the perception of his audience, and so some people might think: "I don't really like Cyno, but Jello Impact says that he's on the same level as Hu Tao and Alhaitham, and I like playing meta and having strong teams, so I'm gonna pull for him!" And then those people will find out the truth as they get more characters: "Wait! My Yae does more damage and is more comfortable! My Alhaitham does more damage and is more comfortable! My Raiden in most of her possible teams does more damage! My Hu Tao does more damage! And all of them (except maybe Hu Tao, but I'm not sure) are more flexible than Cyno! Why did I pull for him in the first place?! Oh, yeah, because Jello Impact said that Cyno is approximately on the same level with all these characters!"

[@teenagesilver6512]

I have raiden, yae and cyno. My cyno outperform any other char on my acc. He is very strong. Raiden is bad in hyperbloom. Her burst only 6 sec, and the huge cooldown. The good thing about hyperbloom, you always has 3 strong elements that can deal with almost any content

[@masterjedicat]

@@teenagesilver6512 It is your account and your experience. I'm talking about the overall strength of Cyno. About the opinion of many theorycrafters, such as TGS, Zajeff and others. Abyss clears with Cyno aggravate tend to be a little bit faster than with Keqing and a little bit slower than with Yae. And his hyperbloom clears are on average slightly worse than Alhaitham's. So if you invest more or less equally into Cyno and Yae, she's usually gonna be slightly better in aggravate, same with Cyno and Alhaitham in hyperbloom: Alhaitham is a bit better. And Cyno has a lot of other disadvantages that Yae, Alhaitham and others don't which I pointed out in my previous comment. When I was talking about Raiden in hyperbloom, I was referring to her hyperbloom trigger role when she only uses her skill. And she's the best character for this role, if you don't need a healer (than Kuki might be better). Cyno is better as a hyperbloom on-fielder, that's true. Hyperbloom is great, I agree.

[@teenagesilver6512]

@@masterjedicat now I see your point, and I agree. But in Alhaitham case, he can't use furina properly. If you take furina+baizhu, you lose nahida. If you take futina+kuki, you have a bad time to stack fanfare. The main reason is in furina. I think in both best teams it's arguable. And cyno has some flexible other picks too, but it's harder to contribute. Both alhaitham and cyno are dependant on nahida. Alhaitham isn't that good without nahida, you can say cyno is good with furina + baizhu + someone else, but does it make sense..

[@masterjedicat]

@@teenagesilver6512 You can give Nahida Prototype Amber, and although the healing from it is not ideal, with Kuki it's not bad. And then Alhaitham's alright with Furina. He can also use Baizhu, although it's obviously not ideal. You can use Alhaitham without Nahida on a double hydro team with Xingqiu, Yelan and Kuki, but Cyno would be much worse here. And you can use Baizhu, Yao Yao or Kirara instead of Nahida, though it's worse of course, but still better than Cyno without Nahida. Cyno needs Nahida more, than Alhaitham, and he needs Baizhu/Zhongli much more, than Alhaitham. Cyno has less characters to be on the team with. Kirara, Yao Yao, Yae and possibly some other characters are not very good with Cyno, but alright with Alhaitham. And the only unit Cyno can synergize with and Alhaitham can't - is Kazuha, but even then his buff is not long enough for Cyno's burst. Sucrose and other Anemo units are quite bad with both of them.

Cyno having a top tier team is great, but that also just adds more to one of his problems that I dread which is it feels bad to play in overworld. With Nahida, Furina, Baizhu, you might as well be playing 3 characters in the overworld cause enemies die before he even comes up.

The better combo with his Quickbloom team, is: Skill (off Burst), Skill (in the Burst State), Skill, (Eye Skill), Skill, (Eye Skill), Skill, (Eye Skill), skill, (Eye Skill)……. Until you Burst is off. In short, use his skill, whenever you get your Skill back, in Thundering Fury; with his Quickbloom Teams. 👍

[@naotonhan5253]

I can even squeeze in 2E before the Eye skill if I have good ping 😂, so at the start it's like E-Q-E-E-E (Eye skill), then you have to slow down the 2nd round or you'll miss the eye, the 3rd round could be the same with 2Es. Kinda hard to follow through so basically I also just spam his E off cd😂

I got Cyno accidentaly on his first banner, but at that time only traveler could provide him a good Dendro application, i still love his gameplay tho. Not a long ago i got him C2 and Signature, he absolutely destroys Hydro Tulpa in Abyss with almost no help! I am going for Nahida firstly for him( and secondly for Tighnari and Yae). Now his teams has more flexibility, you can use Yao Yao or Kirara as a 4* supports, Furina or Yelan\Xingqiu for hyperbloom and so on. Of course he may be more expensive and he really want Nahida for comfortable gameplay but it's always player decision to pull or not.

Golden Troup doesn't buff cyno nor the team only its wielders dmg, whereas tenacity buffs everyone. Just some food for thought.🙂

Yeah she is great in national team and hyperbloom proc

[@Marz333]

They require the same investment anyone that tells you raiden is better is misinformed, they both kind of rely on their c2 and weapon for big dps spikes and do about the same dmg at c0 but Raiden is more flexible which makes her a better pull for some people. Cynos new best team with Furina was found to out dps Raidens best team he just requires investment like jello said.

[@ZanathKariashi]

Raiden is a solid DPS (and also substantially better in parties where she isn't a main-dps where as Cyno has zero spot in a party where he isn't the Carry). Even without her C2 (which is just a giant damage buff during her burst and literally nothing else), Raiden can still drive on-field during her burst while providing powerful support benefits even while swapped to other characters, and is much easier to work around than Cyno as she requires very little field time to get the most out of the burst's benefits (she only needs 5 seconds of field time to maximize the energy refund). Given that they're roughly the same in Carry capacity at similar investment, I do think Raiden is overall stronger and much more valuable as a character, if you having to choose between them.

[@BroBear_35]

I usually like Jello Impact, but i have to disagree with the overall positive feelings towards Cyno. Cyno is a bait champ. I would not reccomend going for him only because he is a hypercarry that requires a lot of investment to be good. I would only go for him if you have these team combinations: Yelan/Furina/xingqui C2, Nahida, Baizhu/yao yao (If you don't have Baizhu, you have to use xingqui paired with yao yao). If you have these team combinations, then go for Cyno and he will do exceptional! He has a fun kit and can do a lot of damage, especially in single target. Even then, you need to have plenty of ER substats to do well in these teams also so that might force you to use Thundering Fury too. So you have to hyperinvest his team, and then also hyperinvest his build to be optimal. When Cyno's best possible team, which includes 3 5 star characters, still can't outdamage Alhaithiam who can do more damage with less investment and in more combination of teams, you know Cyno has issues... There are VERY few teams where in any combination of 3 champtions, Cyno is the best 4th option. The only team where Cyno is the best 4th option is in a furina/yelan, Nahida, and Baizhu team. Maybe a kazuha(sucrose okay), Fischl C6, and yao yao team as well if the enemy is single target... Maybe, but even then ther are plenty of more powerful F2P teams.... Outside of those teams, you can go for DPS units that can do more damage with less investment and more flexibility that can handle multi wave content and don't have survivability issues. Cyno will only be a strong pull if you build your entire team around him and that itself makes him one of the worst 5 star characters in the game in my opinion.

I'm a f2p so you can guess how determined I was to get him to be able to save 51k primos by then lol. I really wanted Furina for him too because I figured she would be great for him. I had 51k primos... it should be fine, right? Well, I lost the first 50/50. I still had enough to get all 3 characters so I didn't sweat it and I got Baizhu the next time. But then I pull for Furina... I lose the 50/50 again. That's like the worst luck ever. I wanted to pull for her again but I didn't want to risk losing the 50/50 on Cyno because I wasn't sure I would get enough primos by the time his banner came around. So I waited and ended up getting Cyno with 10k primos remaining. I kinda wish I got Furina anyway because I currently have 17k primos from playing the game so I could have afforded her, but oh well. If I lost the 50/50 again, then I wouldn't be able to get him so it was the best choice to be safe. Usually new characters have their rerun 3 versions after their initial release, so I figured I could go without her for a while. I have Yelan, anyway. But I'm DEFINITELY saving for her in the future. Now that I have him, I absolutely LOVE him! I find his gameplay so fun, he looks so epic in his ult state, I love his character, love the anubis aesthetic, probably the happiest I've been getting a 5 star. I was really struggling with ER for him, though. I felt like he generated it so slowly since enemies died so fast that often times I would kill them all before the first eye even popped up, and bosses wouldn't even last through the entire burst so my burst wasn't charged by the time I was done. This of course was only a problem outside of abyss, inside abyss I kicked butt. Thank you for adding the overworld section, this really helped me a lot with my ER issues. I had farmed for artifacts for him months beforehand, and I have Jade Spear for him, so my stats are 1820 attack, 587 EM, 63.6% CR, 180.1% CD, and 111% ER. I DID use an attack sands, but I had a great attack sands and crap EM sands, and Zy0x said that attack sands was better as long as you had Primordial Jade Spear due to the high base attack on the spear, so it worked out. I also know that my CR is a little low, but Zy0x said that EM was a little better and I just happened to get good EM pieces, so that's just how it worked out. I don't know if it's too low, but the damage numbers are amazing so I feel like it's fine. Overall, I've been having so much fun with Cyno and I'm really glad I got him

honestly, I love cyno my boy but I still won't forget how dirty they did him with his kit... high on field time "carry" that depends on off field application but even his best supports have some let downs with him :/ nahida in multiwaves suck w him (you can use dendro trav but no dmg + circle impact so eh) and baizhu not lasting enough to be full comfy w him in my personal experience... like don't regret pulling for him 'cause I only pulled 'cause I liked him as a character but yeah, he's definitely not a good character to pull metawise, he's also very hard to build, he wants every single stat beside HP and DEF 😃 also pain to play overworld... it's just sigh... why do they have to fumble with a teyvat trailer character so bad

[@teenagesilver6512]

same feelings.. if only cyno didn't lose his burst while switching, just like noel... Why HOYO

[@setovessalius]

@@teenagesilver6512 TRUEEE, honestly I would even like if his infusion was on skill, but still won't stop me from using that for sure

[@jonyjonas]

Actually Alhaitham can use Kuki and Baizhu at the same time. The thing is, with Alhaitham between Nahida and Furina you have to pretty much decide between one or the other. You either want Furina's buff or Nahida's. Also, if you're in multiple wave content, Nahida will be better as she has much better AOE. In single target, Alhaitham can prefer sticking to Furina, Baizhu and even Kuki or Raiden to trigger hyperblooms. If you want a pure Spread team, Triple dendro Alhaitham with Baizhu, Nahida and Raiden, Fischl or Yae as the electro is super viable.

[@qwertysysysyysysysyzz]

Just use yelan and nahida instead of baizhu furina people act like furina is the bomb when yelan gives identical buffs and better hydro application and particle generation lmao

[@jonyjonas]

@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz hahahaha yeah right 👍👍👍

[@solferrero3630]

I wish he was off field so i can play Alhaitham, Kaveh, Cyno and Tighnari. I know it doesn't work but it would be amazing if it did

[@thedoeeater]

My cyno deals 16k per attack is that good enough?

[@jadelgentles2361]

Can this team work:cyno ,kirara ,Xingqiu, and dendro traveler.

[@ShiemonM]

Anyone with experience with Cyno on the Marechaussee Hunter set when playing him with Furina? I've got Nahida/Baizhu/Furina and I have Thoma & Jade spear so I'm seriously considering...

[@Marz333]

It works pretty well good from my experience and the pieces weren’t that good either, it’s mainly good if you don’t have his signature weapon

[@chokeolatte]

I plan to use that set on him because I kinda don't want to think about any TF combos and shit like that. I'll just get Marechaussee and press skill when the eye comes up.

[@ShiemonM]

@@chokeolatte yea same here. Cant wait

[@joshsolders5543]

I want to build Cyno... but I just finished getting Furina and need Baizhu on top of Cyno... I'll figure out Baizhu replacement later. I'll try for Cyno now.

[@meisterhyperion207]

Yao Yao is a decent replacement

[@joshsolders5543]

@@meisterhyperion207 She's what I might use. Maybe Kokomi.
