thanks for your patience and manifesting cynos for all cyno wanters this guide contains a more accurate normalized chart for cyno's weapons to clear up confusions in the weapon comparison video candace full guide coming soon!
Imo, cyno is one of the most fun characters in the entire game. Ever since I got him it’s been a blast playing him. Idc abt the damage, the play style is all that matters to me
I care about dmg and people are dumb when they say he is not Strong like Hutao or Ganyu. He is the same. I never unterstood why they said Ayato is mediocre too. My ayato is mich better than his sister. Maybe just build the characters right before you complain..
@@amberxv4777 Ayaka can take advantage of 4 pc blizzard and freeze. She’s one of the easiest DPS to build because crit rate is built into her set and she ascends with crit dmg. I have amenoma on her and she’s still a powerhouse. Her ult always hits very hard as frontloaded damage. Ayato’s damage is backloaded like Ganyu’s so he falls behind unless you have a 5 star sword and very good artifacts. If you’ve ever checked abyss stats, Ayaka has been the go-to freeze DPS over Ganyu for the past year
A couple other supports that I think would go well with Cyno, but not mentioned: - Albedo: His E lasts 30s, while providing constant crystallize shielding. His ult also grants 125 EM for 10s - Jean: Swirl + her C2 grants atk speed for 15s, and provides a full heal between rotations - Sucrose: Swirl + 50 EM + 25% of her EM for 8s + 20% dmg bonus
@@Loserstakethebait it's sad coz he is one of the best off feild dmg other than Yelan. He is so versatile on ANY team. I use hum with Eula, Xiao, Yoimiya, Ayato. Anyone really!
What a great and thorough guide. The details on when ATK% and EM are better choices for weapons and artifacts if probably the most valuable part for me. Once I get around to finishing these mausoleum quests and gathering these scarabs, I’m gonna be kicking ass! The showcase was sick, too. Great choice on the music.
Been waiting for Egyptian style characters..and I love the Anubis look..so happy one of my favorite elements combined with a fun Anubis designed character is here. New main, and loving it! Love your videos bro! Always my go to for builds and team comps
Honestly, Cyno has been one of the most refreshing and fun five stars that I’ve been lucky to obtain. Pretty much have him fully built except for being just under 70% CR. Definitely going to be my main for a long time unless someone else gets drip marketed by Hoyo
@@monke8949 I think what they meant to say was unless someone else they are personally very interested in and who has just as fun a kit gets drip marketed by hoyoverse. What they said probably made sense in their head since they knew what they were thinking, but didn't think about how it would read to others when other people read their comment lol
I’ve been waiting for this one- always look forward to your streams and UA-cam videos! Thanks for all the in depth guides- they’ve helped me build so many characters. I really appreciate the hard work mr pp.
i prefer xlice more tbh coz he mentioned weapon synergies with artifact sets. Like how scarlet sands would prefer gilded dreams artifacts, which helped me decide on what to go for. other guides usually just say like "these sets are good on him" but dont rly go in-depth on it imo.
Tbh i always thought my cyno would have some energy Issues because i only have 114% ER on him but i didn't expect that his burst [most of the time] instantly comeback after i finished his burst AND i dont even use double electro character for my overworld team
That's because he spends most of his time on the field catching particles and also his skill during his burst generates particles (unlike a yaksha we know!). It would be problematic if he was a sub-dps character who would burst and swap out..:)
i think quickbloom team with beidou and barbara is also worth mentioning since it combines the best parts of quicken and hyperbloom while making use of both cyno's multipliers and EM
I adore how easy to understand your guides are, and with how slow and calm you talk it makes it easier to take in a big amount of information. I'm still unsure about the best artifact set for Cyno, might have to re-watch that portion of the video. Currently I have TF with Scarlet Sands on him, will try to get EM sands from the stronghold box. I have such good substats on that set that my heart nearly sank if Gilder Dreams was much better ;^;
As he said both sets are really good, the only time thundering fury would fall off and be less good is in a mono electro team where 4 gilded dreams would still be good on cyno with his weapon, since he would convert his EM into attack, and would get a massive attack bonus from having multiple of the same element on his team ^^ I ran a mono electro team in abyss with kazuha just yesterday and it was really fun and worked like a dream, but i have 4 gilded dreams on him with his staff of scarlet sands. Thundering Fury is slightly better than gilded dreams in reaction teams, but only slightly. So as long as you're running reaction teams with him, your 4 thundering fury should be fine!
@@starlette7820 I see I see, that clears things up thank you! Currently I'm building Dendro Lumine as I already have Zhongli and Fischl build up. He's SO fun to play, gonna practice his rotations more this week >^
While pulling for cyno u got c6 sayu and on pulling for his weapon also got the new EM claymore. Building them up right now cause it looks like sayu fits really well. Buffing the attack of the whole team while shredding resistance and adding some very solid healing
Just finished raising my Cyno He has now 90 crit rate and 220.5 crit dmg and 354 em 4 pcs thundering fury and with his signature weapon I think I'll give him a lil more dmg than rate Tomorrow I'll double crown him 💜🥺 Btw I really love your guides, super detailed, you're awesome
@@gilang26060 it seems like she's a dps that can work either on or off field. She also has some team buffs built into her kit too, though. So it seems she's just going to be a good all around dendro character
@@DoctorQcumber Definitely better than dendro MC. One of the main issues i have with cyno and dendro MC is that he will often knock the enemies out of the AOE, or the enemies will just back up or jump off of the aoe of dendro mc's burst, so the dendro aura goes away and i no longer have any reactions :D I really hate having to waste time in his burst herding enemies back onto the dendro mc burst aoe... Nahida's burst AOE is FUCKING MASSIVE! Even bigger than Ganyu's burst AOE which I think was the largest burst AOE in the game for a long time. So I wont have to worry about enemies leaving it XD And that's all I really care about, aside from her also being an archon and thus making her pretty strong. Also I'm pretty sure she gives a 0.2% EM buff per 1 point of EM she has to her teammates, so if you manage to get her to 1000 EM stat, she will give her teammates 200 EM easy at c0. That will be really useful for dendro reactions, and especially for cyno whose damage also gets a huge buff from converting his EM stat into attack ^^
@@starlette7820 yeah her burst is huge but it doesn't apply dendro. Her skill is her off field dendro application, which works off a mark applied to enemies. So after you finish off a wave of enemies you have to swap back to her to apply dendro. Not great for Cyno with his long burst time. She's still better than dendro MC in most situations, but she's not his ideal support
Damn this crit rate/crit dmg ratio is orgasmic Im a bit sad you didn't talk about Shinobu C4 being an battery and a healer, that can run a 4p millelith set and apply electro a lot
if its not too much to ask for, could you please include your supports builds for the specific characters you show guide for? that would be really appreciated.
Uh, why dont you just look at his guides for those specific characters? He has guides on literally all of them for dps and support builds :) Their support builds are pretty universal so there's really no need to repeat them in literally ever dps guide video he makes.
I feel like people r calling him weak cuz his DMG is multiple numbers than 1 big number. He also doesn't have that many supports that can keep up with him. So I can say that Skipping him for now and getting him on his rerun when more supports that can keep up with him has been released is reasonable.
I think those people just have high expectations because of Quicken/Aggravate. He is a level of Keqing(more or less), and Xiao(being the most accurate comparison).
His damage is ok but the problem is his long duration. Most of the support buffs or sub dps duration is over midway leaving cyno alone to do damage during that period which is a overall team dps loss. This issue can be solved by switching him out early but he will lose personal damage in that case. And another loss for cyno is can't abuse VV properly because is high duration coz VV doesn't proc off field.
@@yubinator7455 keqing aggrevate actually outperforming cyno aggrevate because of overall team flexibility. For keqing there is 100 percent VV uptime but cyno can't abuse VV properly which is actually a huge loss. Cyno personal damage is higher than keqing but as far as overall team damage is concerned keqing team is better than Cyno team( not by a huge margin).
Cyno is definitely an interesting character... while he is definitely one of the more fun characters to play, his solo damage output isn't amazing and there really aren't any incredible supports that can last for 18s. While he looks really cool, I just can't justify myself getting him
@@jd3626 tbh if ur already at that point of the game where u can already 36 star abyss, pulling for characters u like will be more enjoyable. i got cyno and use him all the time in the overworld but raiden takes the abyss lol
I can't belive they buffed cyno before release imagination if they released without buffing yeah I've him definitely he's one of my favorite and i don't play abyss in that account so it's ok
Honestly, as satisfying and pleasantly surprising the Quicken/Aggravate/Catalyze reaction can be, I don't like where it's leading the characters. The way they've implemented the reaction is genius in my opinion. Making it grant flat DMG instead of DMG% ensures that older Electro characters that unleash powerful blows like Beidou and Raiden Shogun won't literally break the game. The reaction only shines when the character triggers multiple small hits. So far with Tighnari and Cyno, they've specifically designed them to reach considerable amounts of damage output only when they trigger Aggravate/Catalyze, and they really do excel when you put them with the right characters. However, that's the problem. In order to make an Electro or Dendro character that dishes out smaller hits in rapid succession without them being able to dominate with the reaction, their own scalings need to be toned down. Now that Hoyoverse has committed to this principle by creating 2 characters that strictly abide by it, they can't go back anymore. Any new Dendro or Electro unit that applies rapid small hits will either: - Have disappointing scalings that become comparable to already established independent DPS units only with Aggravate/Catalyze - Have normal scalings (like Xingqiu's burst, for example) and be absolutely broken with Aggravate/Catalyze There is no win here. Go with the former, all new units like that will now have strictly defined teams and supports with less freedom for customization and therefore become tedious to use; go with the latter, create the most obvious F you to Tighnari and Cyno and banish these two to powercrept realm along with Diluc, Klee, and Razor. The desire for game balance that Hoyoverse has been awfully apparent about recently following mediocre 4-star units has ultimately given birth to Tighnari and Cyno, who will only ever be as good as you allow yourself to sacrifice flexibility for.
Cyno is great having lot of fun with him built him pretty amazingly with 70 CR 240 CDMG and 400 Em w scarlet sands extremely happy w his performance just needs better dendro driver like nahida
Just in case you don't have Gilded Dreams and signature weapon: The way I play him rn is PWJS + 4p Gladiators since it's currently my best set for him. What you can do is transfer EM from other characters onto him. - Sapwood blade 60 - 120 EM (craftable weapon) - Sucrose 50EM + 20% EM of Sucrose's EM - Elegy 100 EM + 20% Atk (if you have it) So for example: Cyno, DMC (Sapwood blade), Sucrose (high EM build), Fischl (elegy). Or Zhongli instead of Sucrose for survivability and shred + 4p Milileth. That way you can build him with atk and get EM from your teammates. This is the most fun I've had in a while :D
no joke, Cyno is the only reason why i can got rid of both Zhongli and Kahuza out of my team since he need more reaction based support, and now i can finally learn to dodge again
i honestly was going to roll nilou like any other guy, but cyno's lore and gameplay intrigues me if only it wasn't for those pesky scarabs, i'd have him maxed already by now
I was an Itto main but with 3.0, it's obvious that Hoyoverse doesn't care about Geo. I'm really happy I was able to pull Cyno... it was like 85 pity lol. Loving his playstyle! Can't wait to see what I can get with a few weeks worth of resin
I tried out the Thundering Fury set: Its fun but it is so damn easy to not perfectly time an elemental skill weave and then miss out on an empowered skill by like 0.2 seconds which feels Sadge
DAYUM bro I did 5 pulls on 0 pity on weapon banner and got a primordial jade winged spear. "Lady luck is a woman and I'm taking her to dinner tonight."
Hello Mr Xlice , great vid as always :) May I ask whether I should use resins on TF domain rather than just strongbox now that electro is buffed I have Cyno and I'm now using a 2 glad 2 wanderer's with a decently good ratio with jade spear (around 80/130) but I want some pieces for my Fischl and Keqing (she's the only standard 5 star I dun have ) too I'm just not sure which way is more resin efficient :>> ( I only have 1 single piece of TF and it's a half decent flower) thank youu :)
80/130 is pretty awful, the difference in damage between a 4pc set and your current 2pc + 2pc isnt that large, and the gilded domain is much better to farm since both sets can be used, the other set can be put on your dendro traveler and possibly Nahida when she drops. try get a decent crit damage hat and it should fix your ratio. Something like 70/200 would be better. Also fischl isnt locked to any particular artifact set, im pretty sure her optimal build is 2pc glad (or any atk like shimenawa) and 2pc TF for the electro bonus, worry about the substats before you worry about a full set. We're in early days, you'll get a good set in due time just keep at it.
Thank you for this. I was racking my head whether I should just pull for his weapon or stick with deathmatch. I messed up on the epitomized path, so I ended up getting elegy. It's not a bad thing at all, but I didn't consider using reverse psychology lol so ima just stick with saving for nahida before i go completely broke lol. It kinda puts me at ease that I can use r1 deathmatch, cuz I kept thinking that if it's a 4*, it has to be r5, so thank god having r5 4* weapons are not mandatory sometimes. Edit: I hope gilded dreams is good w/deathmatch. I've mostly been grinding for Collei and a dendro goblet for my tighnari. I won't be able to build him until at least the middle of October 😭😭
I’m a beginner to genshin ( ar 20) and I really want to build him but I don’t know how I can get those artifacts with such a low ar. Is there a way I can use a different alternative set that’s beginner friendly or find the needed artifacts?
I am here after watching Sevy’s video, but regarding Dendro MC, does she not benefit from having the dendro artifact set when teamed up with Cyno? Are hyperblooms, quicken, etc not considered dendro related reactions that get affected by the dendro set? She suggested having the MC run noblesse, but I wanted to check with the comment section here
I found I can squeeze one E after burst, the cd will be enough to use E again when first eye appear. So the combo is E - Q - E - N+ - E - N+ I'm using 2 wanderer 2 gilded so no cd reduction.
Can someone explain to me why people say he can't work with Candace? I've been trying it out but it seems fine but then again I'm probably missing something.
I know for sure that I’m pulling for Cyno, but I want to know one thing - would a team comp of Cyno, Zhongli, Kazuha and Xingqiu work? Cyno, Zhongli and Kazuha are some of my favorite characters in the whole game so I definitely want to keep them, but would another character work better in place of Xingqiu?
She's gonna deal good off field dmg, not the highest portion of the team dmg tho so not "main" dps. She can also provide buffs that can match Kazuha's C2 tho so have to take that into account

It’s even better when you realize it will only get more fun as more dendro characters come out to fit his play style
Me too, he was so fun to play, especially when playing with collei and dendro mc, a lot of things happening at once at my screen XD
I care about dmg and people are dumb when they say he is not Strong like Hutao or Ganyu. He is the same. I never unterstood why they said Ayato is mediocre too. My ayato is mich better than his sister.
Maybe just build the characters right before you complain..
@@amberxv4777 Ayaka can take advantage of 4 pc blizzard and freeze. She’s one of the easiest DPS to build because crit rate is built into her set and she ascends with crit dmg.

Albedo is slept on in all non geo comps I swear. People underestimate his dmg and utility.
Another good team is Cyno, Kuki, DenTrav, and Xingqiu/Yelan. I have lots of fun with that team and plus it looks kewll

Go with the former, all new units like that will now have strictly defined teams and supports with less freedom for customization and therefore become tedious to use; go with the latter, create the most obvious F you to Tighnari and Cyno and banish these two to powercrept realm along with Diluc, Klee, and Razor. The desire for game balance that Hoyoverse has been awfully apparent about recently following mediocre 4-star units has ultimately given birth to Tighnari and Cyno, who will only ever be as good as you allow yourself to sacrifice flexibility for.

Wow, so far this is the most satisfying guide out there. Keep it up Mr xlice.
Been waiting for this! Thanks Mister Strimmer!
🌸😹We would yield not to a moment’s lament for you would see learned upon Cyno and the unbridled potential nested betwixt his kit!😹🌸
Cyno is great having lot of fun with him built him pretty amazingly with 70 CR 240 CDMG and 400 Em w scarlet sands extremely happy w his performance just needs better dendro driver like nahida
Just in case you don't have Gilded Dreams and signature weapon:
The way I play him rn is PWJS + 4p Gladiators since it's currently my best set for him. What you can do is transfer EM from other characters onto him.
- Sapwood blade 60 - 120 EM (craftable weapon)
- Sucrose 50EM + 20% EM of Sucrose's EM
- Elegy 100 EM + 20% Atk (if you have it)
So for example: Cyno, DMC (Sapwood blade), Sucrose (high EM build), Fischl (elegy). Or Zhongli instead of Sucrose for survivability and shred + 4p Milileth. That way you can build him with atk and get EM from your teammates. This is the most fun I've had in a while :D
WOOOO XLICE VIDEO LETS GOOOOOO
Thank you for this Mr Xlice, much love too you!
no joke, Cyno is the only reason why i can got rid of both Zhongli and Kahuza out of my team since he need more reaction based support, and now i can finally learn to dodge again
i honestly was going to roll nilou like any other guy, but cyno's lore and gameplay intrigues me
if only it wasn't for those pesky scarabs, i'd have him maxed already by now
YESSS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS
Absolutely amazing guide as always mr pp!! Thanks a lot
I was an Itto main but with 3.0, it's obvious that Hoyoverse doesn't care about Geo. I'm really happy I was able to pull Cyno... it was like 85 pity lol.
Loving his playstyle! Can't wait to see what I can get with a few weeks worth of resin
if im not using his BiS, how many EM do i need? is 0 ok?
I got his sig weapon while pulling for Elegy and I don't even have him, I guess I'll have to wait for his rerun
I tried out the Thundering Fury set: Its fun but it is so damn easy to not perfectly time an elemental skill weave and then miss out on an empowered skill by like 0.2 seconds which feels Sadge
Why no Prototype Starglitter? ER for consistency and the passive is similar to White Tassel
Great video! Time to go find some more Scarabs...
Finding scarabs for leveling cyno is frustrating as hell
Finally I got Cyno, but now I need get scarab beetles and beat electro reqisvine for him now on 😐
I only have two good weapons for cyno: Blackcliff polearm and White Tassel
My white tassel is only r3 so should I use it or my r1 blackcliff?
Pairing fischl with cyno, what would be the most optimal artifact set and weapon choice for fischl?
My team for Cyno is very similar but instead of zhongli I use diona cause I lost the 50 50 to keqing on zhongli banner
I’ve been waiting my lord
DAYUM bro I did 5 pulls on 0 pity on weapon banner and got a primordial jade winged spear.
"Lady luck is a woman and I'm taking her to dinner tonight."
Thank you, mr pp for the guide! ❤️❤️❤️
Hyperbloom Cyno looks pretty fun!
Hello Mr Xlice , great vid as always :)
May I ask whether I should use resins on TF domain rather than just strongbox now that electro is buffed
I have Cyno and I'm now using a 2 glad 2 wanderer's with a decently good ratio with jade spear (around 80/130)
but I want some pieces for my Fischl and Keqing (she's the only standard 5 star I dun have ) too
I'm just not sure which way is more resin efficient :>> ( I only have 1 single piece of TF and it's a half decent flower)
thank youu :)
What level is he? 130 cd seems kinda low
@@un_belli_vable5506 ahh I just finished ascending him to 80 he's now 146 cd
80/130 is pretty awful, the difference in damage between a 4pc set and your current 2pc + 2pc isnt that large, and the gilded domain is much better to farm since both sets can be used, the other set can be put on your dendro traveler and possibly Nahida when she drops. try get a decent crit damage hat and it should fix your ratio. Something like 70/200 would be better.
Also fischl isnt locked to any particular artifact set, im pretty sure her optimal build is 2pc glad (or any atk like shimenawa) and 2pc TF for the electro bonus, worry about the substats before you worry about a full set. We're in early days, you'll get a good set in due time just keep at it.
@@hul1ann fischl could also run gilded if she’s in a aggravate team with cyno or other electro dps.
i got c1 cyno with zero pity and im still thinking on ways to build him because i wasnt prepared 😭 thank u for the guide
We all weren't prepared...to bug hunt
YO I never pulled on weapon banner but i got cyno and wanted to try luck, on my 6th pull i got his weapon :D
Everything but leveling him up (DAMN SCARABS) is fun
Really impressive guide overall
Thank you for this. I was racking my head whether I should just pull for his weapon or stick with deathmatch. I messed up on the epitomized path, so I ended up getting elegy. It's not a bad thing at all, but I didn't consider using reverse psychology lol so ima just stick with saving for nahida before i go completely broke lol. It kinda puts me at ease that I can use r1 deathmatch, cuz I kept thinking that if it's a 4*, it has to be r5, so thank god having r5 4* weapons are not mandatory sometimes.
Edit: I hope gilded dreams is good w/deathmatch. I've mostly been grinding for Collei and a dendro goblet for my tighnari. I won't be able to build him until at least the middle of October 😭😭
I’m having a lot of fun with Cyno, dendro traveler, kuki (healer) and 4th a lot is optional (Kazuha, sucrose, xingqiu or yelen)
nice video thank you sir!!
I’m a beginner to genshin ( ar 20) and I really want to build him but I don’t know how I can get those artifacts with such a low ar. Is there a way I can use a different alternative set that’s beginner friendly or find the needed artifacts?
Finding 4 perfect gladiator set is painful, so is it fine if i just use 2 thundering fury and 2 any atk% artifact sets
Can any other electro support be used like Dori, kuki, or yae?
How good is cyno with retracing bolide and Vortex vanquisher with zhongli with fav spear for support
I JUST GOT HIM AFTERR COMING BACK A YEAR OF TAKING A BREAK OF GENSHIN 🎉
is kuki shinobu a valid substitute for fischl?
I am here after watching Sevy’s video, but regarding Dendro MC, does she not benefit from having the dendro artifact set when teamed up with Cyno? Are hyperblooms, quicken, etc not considered dendro related reactions that get affected by the dendro set? She suggested having the MC run noblesse, but I wanted to check with the comment section here
I found I can squeeze one E after burst, the cd will be enough to use E again when first eye appear. So the combo is E - Q - E - N+ - E - N+
I'm using 2 wanderer 2 gilded so no cd reduction.
Thoughts on a Cyno, Kuki, Xingqiu lineup? Hoping for a non-stationary dendro support :|
i have both jade spear and deathmatch at r1 but my jade spear is currently on hu tao should i give it to cyno instead and give hu tao deathmatch?
Mann I'm so lucky at ar 25 I got both tighnari and cyno just started playing genshin
Can someone explain to me why people say he can't work with Candace? I've been trying it out but it seems fine but then again I'm probably missing something.
i wonder if his burst count as would be relevant to use Yunjin to buff them?
I got him but I literally have no polearms for some reason so I’m using dragons bane
Might wanna run taser cyno with xq or yelan to take advantage of the passive. Rip aggravate teams
So gilded over fury/soother with his signature and fury or soother if you dont have his sig?
Also can I ask can thoma work with cyno since his ult atjs is counted a basic atk?
I know for sure that I’m pulling for Cyno, but I want to know one thing - would a team comp of Cyno, Zhongli, Kazuha and Xingqiu work? Cyno, Zhongli and Kazuha are some of my favorite characters in the whole game so I definitely want to keep them, but would another character work better in place of Xingqiu?
Is missive windspear better than the other two craftable weapons mentioned?
New abyss content from xlice: pog
He doesn't talk: sadge
I know the song is astronaut rain but which remix is it?
Those scarabs took me so looooonnnnnnnngggggggggg to gather 🥲
How should I build dendro traveler tho I have them lev50 and Idk if lev80 collei can work
Should I try to get Scarlet Sands or should I get Cyno C1 ?
Um is it ok if I don’t run an electro cup and run an em instead with c6 cyno
Does emblem of severed fate work with cyno?
So zhongli in cyno teams needs the tenacity?
would c6 diona work better (bc of the em buff ) instead of zhongli ?
Do you actually need to build DMC for Cyno to work? If so how do I build him?
im using TF and his BIS weapon should i change to GD then?
Which one better event weapon or white tessel
Since the Kitain cross will drain energy, do you think I should do Q first then E?
Always Q>E
I have high hopes that nahida can be a main DPS without any issues thanks to her ascension passive talents.
Spoilers
I “think” she’ll be a suport
I hope they don't split her to be half support, half dps though... Just full either
She's gonna deal good off field dmg, not the highest portion of the team dmg tho so not "main" dps. She can also provide buffs that can match Kazuha's C2 tho so have to take that into account
She'll be "MainDPS" on C6, but before that she can be a good driver on the field like Sucrose
@@asdfjkllk obviously, one of the best supports.
But having that expectation means she can on field DPS pretty well. Eh we'll see at 3.2
