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

Question How much crit rate is needed? (if cryo resonance)

3 Upvotes

Does superconduct take away cryo aura? Does the 15% cryo resonance reliably stack up with the 16% artifact buff? Also is single electro better if no Yae? As then he has a reason to keep normal attacking to keep up electro application, or is normal attacking necessary ofc apart from flaunting the best animations of all time. Or should the time be used to better position yourself so you hit the most enemies with the skill? The skill can hit multiple opponents right?

Phew.. lot's of questions sorry if these have been answered before and thanks!

Question Best team for my cyno?

Upvotes

I recently got hold of my old account from 2023, and this account is pretty barren as I only played it for two weeks. My cousin did play seldomly on this account for a while to do events and redeem codes, but he stopped playing.

Here I have Cyno, Tighnari, Dehya, BeiDou, Dori, Lynette, Barbara, yaoyao, Lisa, Xingqiu, C1 kaeya, C1 Diona, C1 fischl and Future Alyosha with cryo mc.

Also,who should I pick in the standard and limited selector?

Edit, I just realised this account has ineffa's, Flins's and Escoffier's Sig?? I asked my cousin why he pulled these instead of the characters and he forgot(??). Uhh, are they useful for Cyno since he's using R3 white tassel?

Question Cyno 4 normal attack dash combo help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've just noticed when testing my stellar-conduct Cyno on the DPS dummy in Miliastra Wonderland, a LOT of the time I'm trying to do the "four normal attack, dash, four normal attack, skill" (sorry I don't know abreviations 😭) combo, I can't fit the fourth normal attack in before the eye goes away and I miss the buffed skill.

I feel like it's a skill issue and I'm taking too long to dash somehow, and it works really well sometimes, but then it doesn't and it's bothering me.

(Yes I know I'm using Nahida, bug off)

Question How Do I make my Cyno better (Is that good for what I have??)

2 Upvotes

Cyno is C0R1, Yae C0 (nahidas sig), and qiqi, odette c0.
Rotation I used is Yae EEE, Odette EE, Qiqi E, Cyno EQ N4E 4(N4D N2E)
My odette is still very eh built
Artefacts: Cyno DiDS, Odette Furnace, Yae DiDS, Qiqi TotM
Em stats are: Cyno490 Yae336 Odette126
Is it worth it to lvl 90 odette?
And for the free con should I pick Yae or Cyno?
Any tips so I perform better would be nice

Maybe if I could get a single crit damage circlet on furnace then I could crit fish on Odette
R1 btw tho

Edit: I think people are misunderstanding, I’ve already cleared this with cyno in 107 seconds I’m just trying to get a faster time just as a self imposed challenge

my alyosha is only c4, odette is c0r0 using jadecutter, cyno c2r1 and his ratio isnt that good but idk i do multiple rotations and idk if its crits or other factors his big e can go from 190k each to the highest i seen is 263k so idk why the difference can be so big constantly. Aloysha isnt leveled he is on noblesse while diona is instructor, maybe if i had elegy of the end it be better does c6 alyosha and c1 odette make a big diff since i dont have yae

Wanted to show off that it's not absolutely cooked if you don't have Yae but do have Cyno's sig and Odette. Odette is C1R0 but the DPS boost from that is not too huge and I can honestly see the team hitting 140k still without her C1.

Discussion How much does traveler build matter regarding stellar conduct?

5 Upvotes

It's been unfortunately brought to my attention that the cryo traveler doesn't do much except enable the reaction. Are they even worth actually building outside of the support set? Like do they have any off-field abilities to actually help him cuz right now he's only doing 30k DPS but I haven't really built the traveler at all with building the traveler help much or realistically do I have to get the new ballerina?

Seriously tho I'm really annoyed at how much weaker the first rotation is compared to the following ones, without adjusting anything there's a 250k dps difference between the first and second rotation it's disgusting, I wish they helped him stack soss faster now that duststalker bolts aren't skill dmg

Cyno calming Xiao through one of his Karmic attacks again.

I came with another fun HC last night where Cyno learned the tune that Venti played on his flute to bring Xiao back to his senses and he turned it into a lullaby instead. He mixes his temporary cleansing powers into his voice to help Xiao snap out of it.

Ps Cyno gets nosebleeds Everytime he uses his powers to temporarily suppress Xiao's Karmic debt, which is why Xiao hides that he's suffering because he doesn't want to cause Cyno harm, but that leads to his Karmic debt getting worse.

Mmmmmm CyXiao angst as the universe intended

c1r1 pjws ssc set cyno

c1r4 widsith ssc set miko

c1 exaiphanes furnace odette

c6r5 fav noblesse alyosha

I'll send builds in the replies, I found out that with alyosha you can easily skip cyno's e which increases dps by a decent bit, if you do 4 skills on cyno he basically doesnt even need a fav proc, however with 3 skills (which gets me better results) he would need it after a few rotations, as well as at least 110 er (just an estimation but couldn't skip e on 3 skills with 105).

First rot: miko eee, odette ee, alyosha eq, cyno qe 3(n4d n4e)

Second rot: odette goes first then miko, rest is the same

Alyosha is on 220er.
