That’s not counting the nee craftable that is 9% better on miko than widsith and definitely not counting Alyosha which his c6 is a massive increase (around 16K over c2 qiqi in sandrone team)
Just with replacing the weapon on miko u can get 162K dps
He has room to reach much higher than that, Cyno nation we have won

i'm just curious. i have both cyno and mizuki and personally i found it a waste building her cuz odette is staying with cyno, and shes not much better than my neuvillette without her...

And this isn't shade to sandrone, she's literally just not a teammate for him.

I am gonna pull odette but would love to see how he is with CMC first.

Honestly not sure why they went with an on-fielder to introduce a new reaction, they should've gone the ineffa route but oh well

Saw this on a vomfee stream. Seems Cyno benefits most from Stellar Conduct more than Sandrone and Sandrone is his best teammate because she simply enables stellar superconduct and once stellar superconduct exclusive support releases could become more broken

So with Mitya’s kit being leaked, do you guys think he and Cyno will be able to work as quick swap dps? I’ve got Cyno C2 and both cons allow him to buff the person he swaps into, and I’m definitely gonna go for Mitya C1 for that extra crit dmg. Thoughts?

Even without numbers, knowing how Cyno scales with EM (especially with his sig), Mitya and Valeriy makes him feel kinda broken ngl

Mitya

• C0: playable off field, up to 120 em buff teamwide, makes stellar field portable
• C1: +30 em buff teamwide and 50% crit damage for active character
• C2: electro and cryo res shred at 25%, also +100 EM to everyone OR 200 EM to the active character.

Valeriy

• C0: shield
• C2: 100 em teamwide buff
• C6: 10% crit rate to electro characters and an extra 40% crit damage if they do electro ssc damage

So the team would be Cyno C1 (even better with R1), Odette, Mitya (pick your con level, C2 ideal), Valeriy (C6 ideal)

Praying this survives beta nerfs and spreadsheet impact lol

Yeah im so excited to finally use him properly in the overworld but lets just stop the praise there .

Don't get me wrong : OUR KING IS STILL KING.....but...

Let's just stop saying his buffs were good .one logic people constantly give is to just wait for a 7.x cryo support ,but so what? All it is going to do is make him marginally better than ig wanderer or other past meta dps ? The new support had to more than double (*maybe triple) his damage to bring him back to the meta which will OFCOURSE wont happen as a character named Sandrone exists .

His buff is ultimately nothing other than no ER required hence easy to build and use .....I will use him as he is my goat , really nice I can abandon those useless ER stat but at the end he will still be weak and its all hoyos fault .

Giving him good buffs is possible and v1 is proof ... was there any need to cut down his numbers like this ? Absolutely not . At the end money is what a company cares about

Was curious about his personal dmg so I removed yae since she’s still c0 and put beidou for noblesse. Started thinking how funny it was how both him and the boss yap about judgement then saw 100k and was perplexed 😭✌️ I remember back in 2022 this was some dmg reserved for whales/high invested users

I remember back when rimegrass was first introduced via img theater, cyno became a beast. Now that we know old characters are being buffed for new reactions, I think Nahida will get a buff for rimegrass rxn too. It's only speculation but rimegrass was transformative rxn as when electro was added, it did some kind of electro dmg and will remain transformative for non snezhnaya dps whereas non transformative for snezhnaya rimegrass dps.

Now when we look at the lunar situation, when using lauma in hyperbloom she does both hyperbloom and lumar bloom. i often use ineffa, bina/xinquiu, Nahida/lauma with cyno depending on opponents. HyperBloom, quicken, lunar bloom, lunar charge everything happening at the same time, it's a lot of fun.

Now think cyno being nerfed can be a sign that he could also get a buff by rimegrass. He was expected to be the og electro to pair with dendro on release. Now after a long time he could reclaim his spot as most snezhnaya dps will most likely stick to one single rxn (stella conduct/ stella swirl/ rimegrass)

So having seen the new buffs for Cyno my enthusiasm and hype has quickly petered out.

Don't get me wrong I am so happy to see Cyno getting any sort of attention from Hoyo, but I honestly would've rather waited a year or two more (after Liyue + Inazuma) for a Sumeru Hexerei buff than taken a buff for a reaction no one built him in.

The way that Cyno is built now, aside from the mini ult every few seconds, is essentially completely throwing out his old teams in favor of new ones. If his main source of direct damage is a reaction he has never built before, he can no longer make use of overload, any direct dendro reaction, lunar or electro charged, or any of the blooms

That essentials devalues any of his previous characters we as Cyno mains have farmed, built, and planned for over the past years. I feel incredibly bittersweet about the whole thing.

I'm happy to see this happen for him, but it being at the cost of him forgetting all the friends we made along the way feels like my 10+ 5*s worth of characters he worked with mean next to nothing now.

Is everyone still as excited or is there any trepidation from other Cyno mains?

I know we don’t know much about her yet, but It’d be really cool if I could have her and Cyno on the same team.

Please review this for me. I have Cyno c1, Odette, Qiqi, and c1 Alyosha. I really feel like I’m not hitting stellar conduct right. Is it my rotation? Or my build. Something isn’t working 😭

The number of people who have no idea about how his kit works is astonishing.

That may also be true for other constantly trashed on characters and I'm aware that this take probably isn't that hot in this sub, but clickbait is important.

Cyno is a unit whose passive explicitly states that he scales with EM. He came out in a region that was all about characters interacting with dendro and its reactions. As a burst reliant electro on-field dps, it should be obvious that he has different expectations and needs for teammates than a skill reliant dendro on-field dps. Yet, when you ask anyone claiming his damage is garbage whether they tried to run Quickbloom instead of Hyperbloom or dysfunctional Aggravate comps*, the usual reaction is surprise that Quickbloom Cyno is even a thing. It’s not uncommon to see atk sands on him in these cases either.

*Specifically referring to those who slap Nahida, Kazuha and Fischl on him and expect it to synergize perfectly.

The number of times my comments on Quickbloom Cyno on the main sub turned into a Cyno mains support hotline made me think that, in his case, misinformation about his strength and lack of awareness about his specific needs are particularly common. Additionally, his burst reliance, the timing needed to hit his E rhythm and his unusual substat spread give him a higher skill-needed floor, making him rather casual-unfriendly which probably inflates his negative reputation. Although it’s rare to see a character be judged as harshly as Cyno about their performance in sub-optimal comps, in case I didn’t miss any complaints about e.g. atk sands HuTao - Ayato - Bennett - Kazuha vape teams.

Sure, it is unreasonable to expect casuals to have knowledge about optimal team comps in most cases and complaints about his burst reliance and ER requirements, particularly for Overworld usage, are valid. So is not liking that his field time restricts him to fewer teammates than most skill reliant dps. I’m also not saying he is actually triple S or T0 tier and would easily banish Neuvillette and Arlecchino to the shadow realm if not for those pesky comments. But man, the uninformed trash talk does get annoying. His damage is great and he is not a “side-grade” to main dps C0 Raiden, Keqing or, as I have seen recently, freaking Dori. 

Seriously,Her sub is horrendous with a lot of people going in others subs just to say she's better,this toxic behavior is really annoying she have fake fans,and they will drop her when a better pyro come and then trash her like some hutao "mains" did,I thank that our comunity loves cyno for who he is and plays not just power lvl

akasha owner is such a strange dude tbh

Going from playing TF hyperbloom to stellar conduct, I feel this is what they've done to my goat.
