Guides and Tests on Cyno Team Builds in Genshin Impcat
Hey guys, today we are going to keep focusing on the new character Cyno in Genshin Impact, and give you some suggestions on team building.
Now for the team comps and builds I tested, I wanted to first make sure both Gilded Dreams and Thundering Fury were included because these were the most interesting to me. However, keep in mind he could also use something like Gladiator's Set or Thundersoother.
So the first team I tested was just a carbon copy of Keqing Aggravate, which was Dendro Traveler, Fischl and Kazuha. As long as the enemies were slow, big and not overly aggressive, it felt great to use White Tassel with Gilded Dreams, even if the VV Shred wore off mid-way during Cyno's burst but on the bright side, if the enemies get damaged by Traveler's burst, you can upkeep the Quicken aura on enemies during the whole Cyno's burst duration.
Still, I quickly ran into some problems with this team. Firstly even if Cyno's burst description states he gains resistance to interruption, it's still probably one of the worst ones I've seen. He easily gets knocked around, so it's not like he gains the same interruption resistance like Raiden, and maybe it's more like Ayato's probably even worse.
So after this, I asked Daddy Zhongli to protect my dear Cyno from world's harm. Zhongli's shield lasts for almost the whole Cyno's burst duration, so I could focus on just unleashing his combos.
Now another problem with doing this is that I had to make a tough decision, do I still want Anemo VV Shred or do I get another Electro to help out with Cyno's energy?
I chose to go with Sucrose this time but the rotations kind of got weird at some point, and I even was starting to question myself, is Anemo really worth it for Cyno? even if it massively improves his damage? Because I was constantly running into energy issues with Cyno, so I had to do weird things like use his normal skill just to gain those three particles, maybe feed some Favonius particles from Sucrose or Traveler, it wasn't a good sight.
So just keep in mind with this setup, if not going up against multiple enemies, all the damage will be coming only from Cyno.
Finally, I also wanted to give a try to good old Electro-charged team comp and overall, but Electro-charged wasn't that amazing with him. However, I did had the bright idea of turning Electro-charged into Hyperbloom / Aggravate comp, it's actually pretty awesome. Beidou unlike with Raiden, her burst actually works along with Cyno's, and since her burst lightning that jumps around does not trigger the Dendro Seeds, Cyno will most likely have at least 300 to 500 EM on him, so he will trigger Hyperblooms for pretty sizeable damage.
Overall, what do I think about this Anubis cosplayer? I like him a lot, he has a great fun factor built into him but I also cannot ignore some of the problems I ran into. I think my biggest gripe would be the absolutely pitiful resistance interruption he gains. Nobody enjoys getting knocked around when you just wanna unleash some cool combos with your shiny new 5-star. I really think he should of gained a better so called Super Armor, similar to Raiden's or Itto's when he is using charged attacks, because now I kind of just want to use Zhongli with him.

Another New Monster of Burst - Cyno in Genshin Impact
Hey guys, today let's talk about the new character Cyno in Genshin Impact, I'll be showcasing Cyno's personal damage and I'll also tell you what's great and not so great about him.
First of all, let's take a look at his personal damage, I'll be using a 3-star weapon White Tassel, it's probably one of his best F2P options, since it offers Critical Rate from substat and increases his burst damage from the passive, while the Artifact set is going to be Gilded Dreams but keep in mind the artifacts stats are pretty average. So the main way how you deal damage with Cyno is with his burst mode, he will do a cool transition, put on a mask and gain new Normal Attacks.
Now as you can see, just by himself alone, each hit is nothing too amazing, and if I do string of combos with his 5th Normal Attack and using his special skill, the total damage is about 300,000 over 18 seconds, which obviously it's not bad. Now going in with a team of supports, Kazuha's Elemental damage boost will be applied, while Dendro Traveler up keeps the Quicken aura. And with this, I was able to achieve around 600,000 damage, but I did miss one of the skill timings. Overall, I would say this number could be a little higher with more optimized attack combos.
However here's where the first big problem comes up. First of all, there is no Xingqiu of Dendro in the game just yet, so if the enemy steps away from Traveler's burst, even with the generous refresh mechanic of Quicken aura, it will also disappear during Cyno's burst.
The other big thing to understand here is that VV Shred does not get applied when Anemo unit is off-field, which means it will just last for 10 seconds or basically it will remain half of Cyno's burst duration, assuming it's 18 seconds.
On the bright side, Cyno here has 126% ER, and when he was by himself, he could regain about half of his burst all thanks to the fact he gains particles from his skill, which only generates 1 particle but it can be done up to 5 times in his burst mode, although because I am testing this on the new world boss, it's possible I was gaining its particles as well.
Also, when using Fischl to see his Aggravate damage numbers, Oz wasn't actually deployed, so it was only Electro Resonance doing the work and Cyno was almost able to refill his whole burst with just 126% ER, I suspect the new boss was feeding him the particles but this feels kinda nice regardless.
Finally, now Cyno's elemental skill outside the burst won't deal much damage, and it has a 7.5 second cooldown. Although it has no ICD, which means it can always Aggravate but it's most important function is to generate three particles. However, once you activate his burst, the elemental skill will have a much shorter three second cooldown, but it will only generate one particle, and using it will extend the burst duration by up to 8 seconds, or basically you just won't need to pay attention to this because he will always have an 18 second burst duration after using the skill two times.
Let's talk about the Eye that appears on the screen, this is his first passive called Featherfall Judgement, and while it doesn't say this in the description, the Eye seems to appear every 4 seconds after starting his burst and if you land the skill when eye is visible, he will unleash a more powerful version of it, that will also create additional bolts of damage. You really should use the skills when the Eye appears because it will deal about 2 or even 3 times more damage than the skill.
Overall his personal damage feels just about right, it's great to see White Tassel putting in the work, Gilded Dreams seems to be like a really good set on him but as you already noticed, there are some nuances that need to be addressed about his playstyle.
