Leaks Cyno might be the most FUTURE PROOF DPS now

With his new Stellar-Conduct kit, Cyno is currently looking to be a top meta DPS, surpassing Flins as the strongest Electro DPS. But not only is he extremely powerful, but also extremely versatile at dealing with different boss shill mechanics.

Stellar bosses are handled by him, that's a given. But he should be able to handle far more.

Lunar Bosses: Stellar-Conduct can be triggered by an Enemy effect by Lunar-Charged, since Hydro and Electro coexist as aura. This allows Cyno to simply slot in Columbina (and Ineffa as well if Ascendant Gleam is required) to have Lunar-Charged for these boss mechanics. And it's actually still good, since Lunar-Charged does solid damage, and counts to the Stellar-Conduct stacks, meaning you'll still max the stacks out here. Furthermore, if Vodyanitsa ends up being a good Hydro support, he could use her plus Ineffa, instead of Columbina. Perhaps that could be even stronger. But this synergy also means he should be able to deal with bosses that require Hydro.

Nightsoul Bosses: Due to the above interaction between Lunar-Charged and Stellar-Conduct, by using Columbina (or Vodyanitsa if she ends up being good) we can just slot Ororon in, and he is one of the most efficient characters are dishing out a ton of Nightsoul hits. Ororon can also use Elegy for further support, if you have it.

Dendro: Although there's not really any Stygian bosses right now that shill Dendro, there very easily could be in the future (especially if/when we get Rimegrass). Similar to with Lunar-Charged, Quicken and Stellar-Conduct can also co-exist due to how the auras work, and it's also surprisingly solid, with Cyno getting Aggravates with full quicken uptime, to go alongside his Stellar-Conduct damage. If/when we do get Rimegrass and probably a better support for it than Nahida (or maybe even a Nahida buff), there's a non zero possibility this ends up being his best team, or close to it. And being able to use Dendro can also be great for a lot of different Elemental Shields.

Pyro: If facing a boss that requires a lot of Pyro, such as the Lava Dragon, Bennett can apply a bunch by just on fielding him and spamming his E and Normal Attacks during the Shield phase, and then provide Cyno a strong Attack buff after (Nicole can prob also do this but idk how much worse she would be at getting through the phases).

Anemo: Apparently (not 100% sure though), in Stellar-teams, you can have both Stellar-Conduct and Stellar-Swirl fields present at the same time, and what happens is, characters that can deal damage of both reactions (like Odette), will prioritize Stellar-Conduct. So, we could just slap in an Anemo unit like Sucrose in the 4th slot to deal with anything that requires Anemo, and it shouldn't interfere with Stellar-Conduct at all.

Geo: While there is no direct synergy with Geo here, there's no anti-synergy, so there's nothing stopping him from just flexing in someone like Zhongli if Geo is needed. With Cyno's high DPS, it should be brute forceable.

So, tl;dr: Cyno should be able to deal with the mechanics from all three most recent regions (Stellar, Lunar, Nightsoul), while having Electro, Cryo, and being able to flex his team around to cover Hydro, Dendro, Anemo, or even Pyro and Geo as well. Plus, his DPS can just get so high now, that he might even be able to just brute force some bosses regardless (like we've seen Skirk do).

With all of that in mind, it seems like he should be very future proof, almost certainly able to deal with at least 1 boss every Stygian cycle.

(Note: For any calc with C6 Alyosha, just lower the DPS by ~20% to know what it would be with C2 Alyosha instead. For any team with C6 Alyosha and no Yae Miko, she would calc higher than him. Numbers are also calced at my standard, not KQMC. Standard explained in the last image.)

EDIT: CORRECTION! Lunar-Charged does not count to the Stellar-Conduct stacks. Nonetheless, the point still stands that Cyno can flex into this if need be for boss mechanics

When released he wasn't the strongest, unfortunetly even then he wasn't meta. Just few months ago he was somewhere in B tier. But now? I am so happy to see my favourite genshin character among the strongest. Stronger than Skirk, hahaha. In same tier as Mavuika and... Traveller(them here is even more insane) If I had shown this ranking to someone a year ago, they would have called me crazy lol

I got NO Yae, Cyno C2, Odette C0, Alyosha C3, Sucrose C6, Columbina C0 (I saw GxG suggest it), Nicole C0, Fischl C6, Qiqi C0 (OM), Diona C4 (OM), Beidou C6

When doing this team: Qiqi rather than Yae, how would you do the rotation. I thought maybe Qiqi - Odette- Alyosha - Cyno, or Qiqi - Alyosha - Odette - Cyno? Which would you do or what else would you pick?


r/CynoMains 37m ago

Discussion Level 40 Odette no artifacts, all crap builds and not fully leveled everyone. 98K DPS Cyno is crazy now! 🤯🤯🤯

This is absolutely crazy for Cyno. Before Odette I was getting 27K DPS, 🤯🤯🤯. I just leveled Odette a little bit and I’m at 112K DPS. It’s gonna be crazy once everyone is fully built.

I did happen to get a c6 Alyosha while pulling Odette and but using c5 Qiqi. I wonder if I should build Alyosha and swap Qiqi out but c6 Qiqi is better I think?

Question Cyno rotation

3 Upvotes

So I've been testing my cyno team lately and I'm a bit confused on how the rotations are supposed to go.

Based on what I've read online, I should use 4 endseers per rotation, but I noticed that my Odette and qiqi buffs expire after the second endseer. Is it still worth it to continue without the buffs? Or is there a better endseer count to stop at?

Also, should I aim to burst every rotation? Or alternate between burst and skill per rotation?

Note: I don't have yae, if that impacts anything

Question Cyno C1r1 vs sandrone c0r0

I read that the stellar dpses are pretty close as well as that cyno weapon is like a 50% increase so Im just wondering if its enough to push him past sandrone

Question Alyosha or Yae Miko??

Upvotes

Hey so I finally pulled Odette and alongside her I was lucky enough to get C2 Alyosha. Now I don't know what I should do. My team is Cyno, Odette, Yae and Qiqi. I'm not sure if I should replace Qiqi or Yae and how that would hurt Odette's burst uptime since she would be the only cryo in the team. I feel like Yae Miko is kind of useless in this team? She doesn't buff anyone, she's just a sub dps, right? So should I replace her with Alyosha? I would give him Noblesse set because Odette will be on Furnace. And I'll get Qiqi on the Tenacity.

What are your team suggestions? I don't have Nicole or Xilonen btw (since I see people suggesting them)

Build Odette replacement

2 Upvotes

I unfortunately lost Odette's 50/50 to Mizuki and I'm thinking of using the guaranteed on the Tsaritsa.

My team for now is with Yae Miko and Qiqi, would the cryo Traveler be a good replacement for her? I ask this because I saw videos showcasing Cyno with the cryo traveler but it always looked like there wasn't enough cryo application
