    I have to apreciatte the great work both zajef and the editor put in the videos. The mechanics of the character are super well explained, and the information get condensed in a very comprehensible way. Besides, the information that is in screen helps a lot when zajef is talking stuff like combos, which is a bit difficult to imagine, but you find a way to help to follow the flow of the conversation.
    Thanks for all the work that you do to the genshin comunnity, and to me to understand stuff that very often is overlooked, even if it is super interesting and helpful

      @@ATNtalk Even in overworld it's better in my opinion. I managed to beat Masanori and different domains faster than when u do aggravate comps. The thing with aggravate imo is that it's a bit inconsistent and very focused on one enemy, but hyperbloom team could fix that since it's more consistent. I use Xingqiu and Beidou together which helps Cyno from interruption, plus the fact that their ult is long enough to complete Cyno's ult rotation (although not as long compared to Cyno's ult), if we compare that to Fischl's Oz, well her bird has shorter duration.

    Minor criticism: If it wouldn't be too bothersome, it would be nice if there was a way to differentiate the audio from the OG video and the new video, since I (and other viewers) watch videos while doing other things, and it's really hard to keep up with what's on going based on audio alone.

  • @Master-GX0
    @Master-GX0 Рік тому +5

    My grain of sand about Cyno:
    Tbf Cyno feels more comfortable to use with Skyward Spine, the energy recharge might seems like it doesn't do anything for him but oh boy this desert wolf boi depends so much in his Burst, besides the attack speed and little crit rate + he being actually able to proc the polearm passive (unlike Raiden 🙄) makes him a very competent user of the Skyward Spine over Staff of Homeless, I tried him with Homa with single target DPS testing and due to the attack speed he manages to destroy everything way more with SS than SoH and getting his Burst every rotation.
    So far he is rn my most powerful unit in terms of stats alone, outputing my C1 Staff of Homeless Who Tao, Wanderer, Yoimiya and even my very first 5* C1 Keqing but he definitely is weaker than C2 Hyper Carry Raiden, Raiden + Eula, Hyperbloom Kuki or even Nahiyu.
    Very powerful with Nahida and super destructive with hyperbloom but it is true that in multiwave the new enemies that aren't marked by Nahida's Skill does feel limiting with Cyno's Burst uptime.
    Cyno requires quite the setup for optimal usage, he is usually so powerful that by the time my XQ, Nahida's combo setup finishes the enemies are already dead for Cyno not even caring to use his Burst, is like using Ganyu with Amo bow but with more steps in the overworld.
    Ironically a low invested pure EM Hyperbloom Kuki with Nahida beats him in AoE, comfort and DPS, my C0 Cyno is only good rushing against single bosses.

    I think one of the things Zajef missed/didn't mention with Nahida in Cyno teams is that Nahida doesn't work against multiwave content in Cyno teams. Since her dendro app is tied to a status on the enemy that's applied via E, if new enemies spawn, you don't have that dendro app before you swap back to Nahida, in which case your cyno uptime is fucked.
    You know who doesn't have the problem of not being able to swap to Nahida to refresh the status? KeqSpoon

    I think one thing that's not mentioned in the vid about his teams is that he can also run a Quickbloom-Fridge team with DMC, Yelan and Diona (preferably C6). Line up your rotations correctly and Diona's 12s Burst ends at roughly the same time as Yelan and DMC's Bursts while also reducing the hydro application from Yelan's Burst, which maintains the Quicken aura even more and allows you to keep using your White Tassel. The constant Electrocharge/Superconduct/Aggravate/Hyperblooms also makes it easier to proc TF's set bonus based from my experience in using it, and you can get away with 120% ER if you run Fav on Yelan and DMC.

I can already 36 stars the abyss before I got cyno as a f2p player so I dont really care if hes meta or not. He is not fully built yet atm but I still was able to clear floor 12 with him so overall Im still happy that I got him. Tho I def not gonna recommend pulling him if ur still struggling in the abyss, there are many better dps out there, and also farming scarabs fuking sucks, my cyno rn is still 80 like for fck sake scarabs are the hardest pieces of sht to collect

    the point about Nahida making keqings aggravate team better along with Cyno, is why I think we might be getting a dendro xingqiu/yelan (and possible its Alhaitham). Having a lot of off-field spread triggered by Cynos normal attacks would be a huge increase to his team's damage budget.

    • @hunterlavish
      @hunterlavish Рік тому

      @@mari_zz yeah I thought so too when I first saw him. A leak said he had infusion on his skill, so I'm think the skill will be like ayato or keqing, with about half uptime (like 6 second duration, increasable with constellations, and a 12 second cooldown). Then a Yelan/Xingqiu burst with like a 20 second duration. Giving him the option to drive spreads on field, or provide off-field dendro or normal attacking.
      His 4 star promotional sword is more geared for a xingqiu type role, than a main DPS, which of course could mean nothing cause weapons aren't always fitting.
      But also the way he's being set up with Cyno feels like they'll have to team up and resolve their issues on Alhaithams release patch, and then maybe Cyno will rerun with him, essentially selling each other.
      If Alhaitham is a selfish quicken DPS, then instead he serves the exact same role as Cyno and competes for teammates for the abyss and therefore competes for sales instead. Bad business move, and all the business decision so far are pointing me to think Alhaitham is more like Yelan then like Childe.

      I'm using TF for him, and I ended up unintentionally with C1 for him. His timings are so completely jank with the not always consistent TF procs and random delays due to chasing enemies and the like, plus his attack speed boost...
      But holy ef I'm having a lot of fun, it feels like every fight ends up more dynamic and adjusting how I slap my E's in can legit make my damage better compared to whiffing it. It's almost like artificial difficulty due to the otherwise preventable loss in damage, but that makes it somehow more satisfying to play on an account that hardly faces much challenge clearing content.
      Keqing may be more consistent but mashing through the same rotation with no variation and not really any payoff for 'doing it right' over bumbling just isn't as fun. Heck, the better I play Cyno the less fun I have in a weird way, because enemies die too quickly ; P Still fun popping endseer pointlessly three times after everything has been eradicated in overworld exploration
