LET'S GOOOO CYNOOOO! Huge thanks to The Ridge Wallet for sponsoring today's video: ridge.com/iwintolose Use coupon code: IWINTOLOSE Edit: Also, a lot of you pointed out my voice sounded different. My son brought back another cold from daycare and all of us got sick again lol. I'm feeling better now but I had to record and edit this video when I had a cold. A lot of you are pointing out the White Tassel. Yes I know it's better. Sadly I don't have one... Rarer than any 5 star weapon.
just so you know, white tassel is SIGNIFICANTLY better than moonpiercer for cyno, as is this video is totally unrealistic cuz most people have a much better weapon
Looks like a 4-star in terms of damage... With those crazy crit stats he couldn't even beat 10k with a solo hit. My team of 4-star (C6) characters with 4-star weapons cleared the latest Abyss 12 faster than this and I didn't even use dendro reactions. I got really weird impressions of Cyno now, not as excited as I was before...(
Appreciate the honest “he’s ok” opinion. Saving up for Nahida and was hearing a lot of buzz how she will work extremely well with Cyno and Nilou. Still need to get Albedo for Itto, and Nahida (and maybe cons).
Tbf nahida is likely gonna improve Cyno and Nilou a lot. If you are still on the fence about him, id be checking leaks in a few days to learn of nahida's kit and make a more informed decision from there . Currently most of the kit is known but gameplay leaks should be out later today/tomorrow
I'm in the exact same boat as you, (want Albedo for my Itto) and was interested in Cyno and definitely gonna get Nahida. Unfortunately, from everything I'm seeing Cyno has me leaning towards not getting him. His super long field time and energy concerns make it hard to build teams around him. Additionally, as a Welkin player (who has 400+wishes saved), he's kinda too much whale bait. Seems like his signature weapon is a massive upgrade over any other option and his C2 is a pretty massive dps increase (his other cons are really good too) and I'm skeptical he'd be all that much more fun/strong to use over aggravate Keqing with comparable weapons without his C2. I'd rather pull 2 cons for my C0 Raiden (who has way better team synergies) than try to get 3 copies of Cyno and his weapon to make him even remotely comparable. Pass for now, get Albedo and Nahida and maybe wait for a Cyno rerun, by then we might have some more supports that work well with him.
@@SK-kh8xq Tbf Nahida will improve every character that deals with dendro reaction. If it improves Aggravate Cyno then it will improve Aggravate Keqing or Raiden. But overall will boost Cyno much better since he scales with EM. However, I dislike the idea that you should pull for 5* back-to-back to have a satisfying results. I saved Primos since Kazuha latest rerun and only managed to save about 140 pulls which is not enough to guarantee 2 5*. So i'd have to wait for Cyno or Nahida rerun to guarantee them both and by then there will be more characters coming out that may or may not be looking tempting.
@@kayce851 same as you guys I want albedo for itto Is he really necessary? My itto does good damage but Im hoping that albedo will boost that a lott Any thoughts?
@@TheMolikolo oh, good point- nahida will also boost keqing. As for needing another 5* to make your other 5* good, i fully agree with you. I dislike Nahida but she will help Nilou so immensely ill pull her. It sucks and i dislike that.
Cyno & Xiao meeting Cyno: Hey yah! What do you call a bird that flies but lands as well? Xiao:(Hmm what could that be?), What? Cyno: An airplane! Xiao:The HE*L is that?!?! Cyno: Oh it's like a mechanical jade terrorshroom except it flies quietly and not rage around Xiao:The H*LL is a mechanical jade terror chicken?!??! Xiao:(Proceeds to burst), LAMENT!!,USELESS!!,EVIL CONQUERING!!!!!!! Cyno:Ciao
I agree with you, a certain kid like character who happens to be dendro whose burst also happen to follow character around and seamlessly apply dendro (the character uses a catalyst and is part of 7)
Fyi, you can use his E one time after activating Q so that you will get perfect timing for his kit where the eye thingy will appear after every last hit (which means maximum damage) of his auto attack (without any cooldown effect). You might be missed the timing for sometimes but it's not hard to practice it.
He really got the xiao treatment. The non whale showcases I’ve seen all seem to do very similar damage to a c6 Noelle. Not even a high investment c6 Noelle.
There is a character that has a kit to support Cyno and his needs but most players skipped her. Dory and her hyper energy generation are his best support.
You don't need Dori to burst uptime on Cyno, Fischl is better in every way, she provides enough ER, she can be used with TM set to buff Cyno's ATK, and she has a freaking insane dps, and most of the players have Fischl C6 so far, so nope, Dori isn't a BiS char for Cyno, Zhongli is better for survival needs.
Can you do a comparison between him, Arataki Itto and Xiao? One (Itto) is my main and the other (Xiao) is a character fairly similar to the other two. I got Cyno and his weapon and I’d like to know who’s stronger between him and Itto thanks
I consider Cyno as the luckiest character in my account, why? During Cyno and Venti 's banner I decided to choose Venti over him even though I also wanted him to come home as well but I'm broke AF so Venti is a wise choice for me. After getting Venti at 76 pity and during the anniversary where you will get primos a day after and decided to pull in Cyno's banner at 12 midnight and just to build another round of pity (knowing I'm back to 0 pity and I ain't even the luckiest player when it comes to gacha), it turns out the wish turns into gold and I was immediately wide awake because of that and in my mind I was like "Oh maybe I will lose 50/50 on this I just won Venti and bhla bhla bhla" then Cyno came home in 1 pity... 1 PITY. This is my first time being lucky I won 50/50 twice and got both featured characters in that banner. After 2 months I decided to main Cyno at AR 56 and Chongyun will always be my Cryo main who carried me until AR 55 ❤️and now Cyno's build is still in progress but I got him to hit 11k with his burst at lvl 65 and that's a good start ₍₍◞( •௰• )◟₎₎
There's a server dedicated to content creators where they have early access to upcoming characters. That gives them a lot of opportunity and time to experiment, study, and try out the characters and then they create guides before hand. Then when the update is released and the rest of us have access, they have these "guides" ready to be released. They don't make it same day lol
Even nahida & yao yao don't have good synergy with him, but baizhu is made for him, his burst & baizhu burst lasts 18 seconds and also apply to the enemies which cyno is attacking
Istg! The male DPS's in this game are all sad. Childe is the only one who is actually competitive with the top tier units. I have no hope for Haitham either
@@loola8908 true, but ofc they had to give him the E cooldown gimmick. I don't have hopes for Haitham either but I will keep pulling :[ I just hate the fact that I am stuck with morgana/national/VapeTao teams if I wanna 36* abyss
Can you do a C6 razor vs C0 cyno damage potential.? Cause i have C6 razor and loses on 5050 for cyno so I'll figure I'll just utilitize razor so I can save for kusanali. I can't find a video talking about them both comprehensively.
The difference between Xiao and Cyno is that there's already Raiden Shogun in the game that does more damage and provides much more utility and support. Cyno isn't even ranged like how Hu Tao and Yoimiya are different. Such a completely pointless kit and character to add to the game. There was no other anemo dps character already in the game when Xiao was released. Venti and Kazuha both do different things and don't compare in pure dps. Heizou is weaker and has much less AoE and Sucrose is also different.
So in the end, if you have Raiden, is there a meta reason to pull for Cyno? Cause his set looks a lot like Raiden but his damage don't seem to go as high as her and he doesn"t have the battery side of her set.
Great video as always! About Cyno...i cant help but get the feeling that Kat$ching is a better alternative in your shown comps and even easier to play.🤔
Wouldn't you want Sucrose instead of Zhongli? With an Instructor Set or VV. You give a ton of EM to Cyno who loves EM more than anyone perhaps save Kazuha. Or shred and **some** EM. Plus grouping power. Fischl won't mind the shred/EM either.
that knockback is a nightmare specially when hes designed to hit enemies multiple times one by one good for one boss maybe but on everything else its a yikes thanks for the review
So glad I didn't pull for Cyno, I went for C6 Dori as a sub DPS to fischl I'm confident it out performs these comps, fischls C4 procs go nuts with Doris agrovate procs. Rotations are easier too. AND as Dori also heals I can run Sucrose I think Nahida will be paired with Cyno to change all this but i wouldn't have enough primos for both
I was about to say he is actually very balanced not too strong and too weak because he seems to rely on reactions and has low solo dps before i remembered he is C0 don't expect much to change at C6 but he seems amazing non the less
Just like every melee burst users, they will die without healer or shielder because they need to be on-field for a long time else their bursts are gone if swap off-field.
@@basilboni6253 yea its getting really wierd as some people seem to only like him because of his skin color because as soon as they see a lighter skinned artwork of him they go full ape mode on twitter
@@basilboni6253 all they said was they were happy that someone with brown skin is I. The game. Is that so wrong. Would it be wrong for a Japanese person to be happy that their culture is represented in the game, a Chinese person? It only becomes negitive when you make it negative. Does it bother you that people are happy that the roster is become more diverse? If it does make you salty that others are happy about this you just might be racist. Idk if u are but if u actually feel this way about ppl being happy about something like this u are the issue. Celebration is different from complaining
Their are poc characters i think you meant darker skinned ones, sadly cyno isn't that dark he looks darker compared to other characters.. i love how hes anubis inspired though.
I think Cyno will get there some day, Xiao is similar to him but I can't say Cyno has the same flaws, yes he doesn't get super armour on his burst which I've always thought was stupid with these kinds of bursts, it doesn't negate damage it just means there's no chance of him being interrupted, all Hoyo needed to do was give Cyno and Xiao some super armour but oh well. And of course if you have the Scarlet Sands spear he'll be way better, that spear might improve a lot of other characters as well but I'm not sure, don't take my word for it but I think if you're going to summon on a weapon banner it should probably be this one, it's annoying that Elegy of the End is the second featured weapon on the banner but it might be worth it for this spear, it seems like it might have some usage beyond just Cyno.
still waiting your 5 star weapon comparision. still thinking should i get his BIS weapon or Jade will be good enough because weapon banner RNG i cant afford :( and cant wait you to review his best artifact too
Not related to Genshin but I've been noticing some of you calculations that seem to be made using JavaScript. If you don't mind me asking, do you mainly use the vanilla JavaScript for work or just for some Gecalculations?
Ngl after test use him, he is stupidly fun, like Itto level of fun. Lot of aoe, extremely fast attack and a fun timing mechanic. He may not be that strong at the moment, he is still worth pulling due to how fun he is!
Cyno's burst should've been swap-able like Noelle's. This one change would've mitigate his support issues. I think for now I am fine with my C3 Keqing, C6 Fischl / Kuki, Dendro MC, Zhongli/ Kazuha for Aggravate and Kuki, Dendro, XQ, Yelan for Hyper Bloom need. I think its never wise to pull a character depending on future potential that might never realized. But anyone pulling Cyno for non-meta reason best of luck, may you win 50/50.
Not necessarily. More Dendro characters are expected to be released. And since Cyno is a character based in the new region it is expected that he will not communicate well with the old ones.
Because in this case this is act as a stance change. Changing the whole moveset of his normal attack. Hence the dmg scale from Burst talent multiplayer. Noelle on other hand act as Elemental Infusion. Normal attack didnt change, and you can still swap character without ruining the elemental effect. Hence the dmg actually scales off you normal attack talent. The same can be said with diluc which Infusion, and how Raiden work with her stance change tp katana which Will be wear off if you change character
Man I would love to see a dps showdown between Cyno and Xiao. With how similar the characters are, I can imagine their battle would be very close and interesting. Kinda like Ayaka vs Ganyu.
@@derek7 Although I like Xiao he would definitely lose. Xiao has no synergy with any other characters. Cyno, although it doesn't have perfect support, still makes strong reactions like Hyperbloom and Aggravating, Xiao is Anemo, it doesn't have any reaction.
i think what cyno is lacking is more oriented supports. a lot of support characters have short-lived buffs bc thats how a lot of characters play. but i still think he's pretty cool and balanced and i like that about him
He also lacks personal damage. And yeah it don’t help that he don’t have good supports and then needs like different artifacts to work with different teams
I don't know how nahida could possibly improve his damage significantly. You saw his aggravate damage, the damage is just low in general at c0. Idk about c6 r5 with kazuha zhongli and nahida, could be busted
Well that's a hasty showcase, Cyno won't be broken but with more EM buffs, Sucrose/Kazuha/Nahida and a Better Weapon he still has a lot of potential for higher DMG
I really dislike this game turning more and more into support impact. Cyno is a terrible character without supports. Does no damage, goes flying constantly and takes a lot of damage. There’s many characters that do so good alone. Noelle, Hu Tao, Ganyu, Fischl, xinqiu, Raiden, yae miko, xiangling, albedo, zhongli, ayaka, yoimiya. They need no supports to do good damage and all have redeeming factors for not being healers. Like Ganyu being Ranged so not having to rush in there, Hu Tao healing like crazy with burst. Even Xiao can jump and not be forced to normal attack, can just jump and plunge. Albedo you can just swap off and does 20k-30k blossoms every second
ngl, cyno looks kinda underwhelming. ik it's still wat too early to judge with with a 4 star weapon, he really doesn't look like anywhere near the dps lvl of units like ayaka, hu tao, ganyu, etc. his knockback just makes him terrible in many aoe scenarios too. i do think that his 5 star weapon would be a massive upgrade for him. and even without being broken , he is balanced and can clear out any content in the game so i m not complaining.
@kollie79 not necessarily. childe could also be considered ''weak'' but he holds his grounds really well. same with xiao his persistent dmg is also nothing to sneeze at. same with ayato, isn't the best but more than good enough. same with kokomi as well, is nowhere near these units yet still is decent.
@kollie79 not really. i just included the dps units cuz he is also a dps. a character's value isn't just in dps. i could have also included other units like kazuha, raiden, zhongli, venti, etc as well. they are not primarily dps but are far above cyno. it's just a general consensus that cyno isn't as valuable as many supports or meta dps units as of now but he's still good enough to be used anywhere u want. i just got him and his weapon and even with lv 50 and a homa for now, he performs good enough to be used in domains.
@kollie79 dude, it's not silly at al. and no one really dissed raiden that much. her value was there from the beginning, people just noticed it a week later. and okomi just became decent. she is still far from a needed unit in the game. i just gave u some examples for the situation. i don't mean to say that cyno is shit or others are better. it's just that he isn't as valuable of a 5 star than some other 5 str units i mentioned earlier.
In other words i‘ve just pulled for the most useless dps in the game. Bruh then i‘ll keep on maining Tighnari. But will Nahida really not buff Cyno?? I mean she does aplly dendro with her burst so why not?
She will buff every electro, hydro, pyro character in the game. Which mean cyno dmg output would go from meh to yeah its good enough. And keqing with go from good to great. And raiden would go from great to ALt + F4. Thanx to nahida.
I want Cyno and try him with Kuki, Collei and Xingqiu, it's like the walmar version of your the hyperbloom team but it's just that i don't wanna have a team without a healer XD
still go dmc over collei tho. collei has a short burst of dendro application and dmc has consistant application over a long time, which u need for cyno. but anyway in this team both kuki and cyno will be hyperblooming so ud need to build em on both or smth
The ring doesn't seem to last that long to keep up with Cyno's very long on-field time, so Dendro MC is still his best Dendro partner currently unless we get better ones. Collei works with Keqing bcs Keqing can easily be swapped out whenever you want.
I still pulled for him for the lore and drip despite seeing all the mediocre C0 reviews. He does get the job done but nothing game-changing that’s for sure (until you pay to win cons of course). Kinda reminds me of Ayato, everyone went crazy for him but there’s not a lot of reviews hyping him up nor complaining too much about him. C0 Xiao is probably worth getting more than Cyno honestly.
Tbh he is too underwhelming even with decent artifacts and pjws. I think he can do like xiao's couple plunge damage in his whole ass burst(i don't have xiao if you are wondering). Ngl his playstyle is cool and fun, but if you are looking for a character for abyss run or something like little challenging contents no need to pull. Think before rolling so you won't miss anything.
If you scout for Cyno or Nilou then you are required to scout for Nahida.. And honestly if you have them both it will be difficult to bring both of them to the abyss since there is only one Nahida..
keqing has excellent synergy with crowd control anemo like kazuha sucrose or venti while cyno doesn’t. also way better synergy with fischl easily allowing you to refresh oz on demand. unfortunately this would be a mismatch in favor of keqing.
Keqing is indeed better since she can utilize kazuha and fischls a2 passive all the time. Both do relatively similar personal damage but having kazuha alone instead of zongli is already a huge increase in Performance especially in aoe scenarios. Ofc u can argue cyno can use kazuha too but he wont be able to constantly use kazuha skills on cooldown same with fiscl
@Loveblade ͒ the thing with keqing tf aggravate is u dont use her normal attacks at all :v similar to cyno here only using E. Keqing rotates her teams all the time so u literally only do E and with her which has respectable numbers lol so its not really a problem anymore. Also her burst last hit does good damage, and the other damage before it procs quite a lot of aggravate which is beneficial for ur fischls a2 to proc constantly
@Loveblade ͒ Keqing charged attacks doesn't throws her back if u r HITTING targets. She might throw small enemies, but against large enemies or bosses she always get stuck on target, u would know it if u give it a try only once but u don't. And she even does not need to do normal attacks because she play as a revolver, not as on-field main DPS. But as i said u didnt even play on Keqing to say it
Cyno is trash. Mihoyo forsing players to build characters different to show that they are not out of ideas for heroes (spoiler: they are) All inazuma characters and, for now, sumeru are much weaker that initial Monstad and Liuye heroes, Ayaka and Raiden were the last good heroes Mohoyo released
i think he is OK, deals a decent amount of damage, his animations are cool and i like his playstyle, but he has some issues. I will be skipping him since i already have yae, raiden and fischl for aggravate. Also electro supremacy doesn't exist, ONLY GEO
hmmm so far i have tried itto mono geo can easily 36 star abyss really easy to play the thing is itto have gorou, cyno have dendro but shorter time meanwhile xiao have nothing......
@@LuminousSpace yeah Xiao don't have dedicated support like Kujou Sara or Gorou, that the problem Xiao have. As a Xiao main I waiting for Sara or Gorou like character for anemo.
i simply hope theres not gonna be much complain for cyno. hoyoverse probably is trying to lower the chance of powercreep by slowly making the next 5* doing a bit worse in terms of solo damage, and making it more into full team combination. on the other hand, i really like candace design, hope you make a showcase for her soon, since i dont really care about damage rn, i just want to see how good is she actually in an honest opinion
Imo, he needs a reliable dendro applicator(Nahida hello). Low A without weapon, high A with weapon and Dendro units. I already have c3r1 Raiden so I just rolled for c1 Candace because waifu and got Venti and tighnari within 6k primos and a guaranteed Dehya. He might improve in the future because of less dendro units right now but still fun to play regardless. Wish all Cyno wanters to be Cyno havers.
Damn they really did my boy dirty, will still be pulling for him, but his scaling is so bad, and his constellation and talents bearly provide him of anything, no utility, just more and more damage, while it doesn’t seem like damage gets boosted a lot
Well what do you expect? They have this biased thing towards other region beside liyue. Just look at where most of the broken characters came from, it's liyue and the newest one which is yelan only appear in one particular quest but shes broken af at c0. Wants more? How about yearly event? We will get our first ever mondstat event after 2 years they did Inazuma dirty with bad storytelling and many more
@@neelesh4772 well about ayaka she needs mitsplitter to get good or her team comp is very expensive and for raiden if we're talking for support then yes shes good but for dps you need to go for that c2
