| Character Details | As the leader of all matra, General Mahamatra Cyno is well known to everyone in the Akademiya. His duties are to arrest those who violate the Akademiya's rules and regulations, terminate illegal studies, and uphold discipline of the Akademiya. Nevertheless, researchers feel that this General Mahamatra does nothing but undermine academic progress and prohibit scientific research. Some even claim that he is "cutting off the path to knowledge" and can be seen as a dire threat to any researcher eager to seek knowledge... Over time, researchers have come to shrink away from Cyno in silence whenever they so much as see him, wanting to have nothing to do with him. But the General Mahamatra is hardly bothered by such things. If this exaggerated public image can really deter some researchers, that will in no way be an inconvenience for his work. Plus, in the words of that Forest Watcher friend of his, "The research conducted by most researchers is nowhere significant enough to result in a talk with a matra." |
| Character Story 1 | Wisdom can bring enlightenment to scholars, but can also lead to utter arrogance. In the history of the Akademiya, many researchers have used their "wisdom" to commit crimes. For example, in order to test the limit of the Specters' body inflation, one Amurta researcher adopted an illegal catalyst and created a mega-sized Specter, which later exploded during the experiment and leveled the entire research center. Then, there was a researcher from Spantamad who had aimed to test a Ruin Guard's ability to cultivate fields, but lost control of the modified machine, resulting in the ruin of many farmlands and grave injuries for several farmers. There have also been numerous criminal cases concerning academic fraud and the abuse of intelligence for personal gain... Such researchers, who do not abide by the law and pose dangers to others, will all be pursued and judged by the matra led by Cyno. When they stand before the matra, these researchers will almost always spare no effort to justify themselves. Their reasons have included but are not limited to suddenly cut funds, the Akademiya's favoritism towards other researchers, the results of their work being stolen... Some may even accuse the matra of stopping them from completing their research out of jealousy of their talents. Cyno's response to such sophistry is always to stay silent and press forward in subduing all those garrulous criminals and sending them to trial. Those who violate the rules can always come up with a million excuses. However, only one ending awaits them. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2 |
| Character Story 2 | The name of the General Mahamatra has traveled well beyond the Akademiya's walls. According to a Forest Watcher in the Avidya Forest, he once caught a glimpse of this General Mahamatra quietly traveling through the woods in the middle of the night. A person living on the outskirts of Apam Woods can still clearly remember how a white-haired teenager asked them for a bowl of water, before venturing deep into the forest alone with just a traveling pack on his back. Adventurers resting in Sobek Oasis claim to have given directions to Cyno, though the area he was heading to had been packed with monsters. Even the proudest mercenaries and Treasure Hoarders in the Great Red Sand dare not make things difficult for the General Mahamatra, having learned this lesson well from the example of a mercenary group that was annihilated in the desert for sheltering wanted researchers. However, for those criminals who have fallen into the hands of Cyno, their reverence for the General Mahamatra usually comes from another aspect of his character. When escaping from the Akademiya, criminals tend to flee in an extreme panic, and can sometimes stray into perilous places. Yet, instead of letting them suffer the consequences, Cyno will come to their rescue without hesitation, just so that he can bring them back to the Akademiya to face their proper punishment. Once, a criminal who had crossed the Great Red Sand with Cyno asked him about the point of doing all this. Cyno replied, "Only the law can judge you, and my role here is to bring you to face the scales." After being released from prison, the researcher, who had been a Vahumana graduate, turned their adventures returning to the Akademiya into a novel titled "The Goon," which remains a bestseller in the Akademiya. The researcher was even invited by Vahumana to give a lecture, during which they went into great detail about the portrayal of "justice" in the book. If you ask Cyno, however, he would say that certain parts of the book were heavily exaggerated. In truth, they did not encounter any monsters created by the descendants of King Deshret, nor did they stray into a living labyrinth at the bottom of the desert or survive a sandstorm in the folds of a humongous Wenut. Nevertheless, Cyno did appreciate the candidness with which the author described their own crimes, and would like to remind them to not commit such crimes ever again. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3 |
| Character Story 3 | In the Akademiya, the mere mention of the matra's office can make any researcher's heart seize up. Apart from the renowned "evil deeds" of the matra, what disturbs them even more is how creepy, dry laughter can be heard from the office whenever Cyno walks in... Researchers firmly believe that this must be the matra's way of expressing smug satisfaction at the sight of Cyno passing judgment on some hapless researcher. But only the matra know that the laughter is a response to Cyno's unique sense of humor. "I once worked on a case where the researcher involved was under great pressure because his paper had been rejected multiple times at the review stage. He eventually rammed it through by successfully bribing the members of his review committee. However, the data in that paper was so wrong that it didn't even take long to be exposed as academic fraud. When I went to arrest this researcher, he asked me 'what have I done wrong?'..." After a pause, Cyno continued, "I answered, 'Your paper.'" Seeing the matra all sit there in silence, Cyno seemed to be worried that they did not get the joke, so he went on to explain it with a serious expression, "You see, the interesting part of this story lies in how, when he asked me what he had done wrong, he expected me to say that his fault lay with his bribing of the committee due to academic pressure, yet I told him that his error was in not reaching the correct conclusions in his paper. The clever part about this joke is that I changed the subject that was being discussed..." After he finished explaining, the matra all exchanged looks before letting out a few dry, strangled laughs in concert... The awkward laughter lent a strange sense of human warmth then to the often somber and solemn matra office. However, to prevent such an awkward situation from ever happening again, the matra gradually came to a consensus that after Cyno finishes telling a joke, everyone in the room must force out a laugh or two in response so that he will not start explaining it. On the other hand, any matra who attempts to imitate Cyno's style will be harshly punished by the others through extreme means such as confiscating their canteen meal tickets. After all, one Cyno is enough for the whole division. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Character Story 4 | Cyno has always believed that the matra are not the enemies of those who seek knowledge. Cyrus, a scholar who tutored Cyno before, once told him that without the Akademiya's laws, "wisdom" will soon turn into "calamity." These floating scraps of out-of-control "wisdom" are like bait on a sea of ignorance, luring innocent knowledge seekers into the abyss. They will make researchers far too arrogant and reckless, to the point where they may even attempt to tamper with life and death due to their lack of respect for human life. Eventually, they shall cause irreparable damage to the world. The sages keep introducing new rules and regulations precisely to ensure that the knowledge seekers of the Akademiya will not be misled and go astray because of such bait. The matra who hunt down those who violate the law and judge them according to those same laws are in fact the "guardians" of all those who seek knowledge in the Akademiya. However, in the eyes of researchers, they are but a bunch of "demolishers" who constantly, violently cut off their paths to knowledge. "Dumb humanoid Fungi," "Mr. You-Can't-Do-This," "Paper Shredders"... These are all nicknames they have come up with for the matra. Among them, the most notorious one is "the Akademiya's Sumpter Beasts," a name coined by a Haravatat researcher. When they first heard of this nickname, most of the matra were rather enraged, reckoning that the researchers thought too little of their hard work. On the contrary, Cyno noted that he actually fancied it quite a bit. "We matra are indeed Sumpter Beasts who walk the Akademiya's halls, carrying the rules and regulations on our backs." "When exercising our rights, each of us must always keep that weight in mind." After pondering the matter for a while, this General Mahamatra added, "Plus, we could stand to be more like Sumpter Beasts in avoiding pointless arguments and focusing on, ahem, getting to our desired destination." * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5 |
| Character Story 5 | When the Akademiya was first established, its researchers wielded their boundless imagination and innovation to the fullest with the abundant resources available at their beck and call. They had reshaped terrain, controlled the weather, recreated ancient relics... But when the knowledge of the earth could no longer satisfy their insatiable curiosity, some researchers turned their focus to the starry skies, whereas some others attempted to tamper with life and death. However, these kinds of knowledge were not things they should or could have touched upon. To prevent researchers from being devastated by their own knowledge, the sages laid out six cardinal sins. They held that all the crimes in this world derive from these six sins. The first is to interfere with human evolution; The second is to tamper with life and death; The third is to delve beyond the universe; The fourth is to investigate the origin of words; The fifth is to revere gods without acts of devotion; The sixth is to attempt the forbidden and fear none. Since then, the sages have been introducing new rules and regulations according to these six deadly sins while amending and revising old ones. The matra enforce the laws, and the researchers perform their roles accordingly as well. In this way, everything in the Akademiya functions in a desirable manner, and the Akademiya and its researchers have been marching forward with thriving clarity of wisdom ever since. As time has passed, the six ancient sins seem to have been forgotten by most, and ambitious people have been on the move since... However, for Cyno, the current General Mahamatra, what he ought to do has not changed. He will, according to the six ancient deadly sins, justly judge all the lawbreakers. Even sages shall not be exempt. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |
| Cyno's Genius Invokation TCG Deck Box | This deck box, which contains Cyno's Genius Invokation TCG deck, is his favorite physical possession. The exterior of this deck box is wrapped with multiple layers of high-quality leather, and every seam has been carefully handled. As long as the rope fixed on the leather remains tightly tied, the entire deck box will be completely sealed, and not even a drop of water can get through. The interior is padded with silk, which can minimize the bending of card corners. According to the shop owner, the silk used was all imported from Liyue and made from top-quality Silk Flowers. This deck box even comes with a tough leather strap, so the buyer can easily affix the box to any part of their body. The surface of the deck box is even engraved with the Genius Invokation TCG emblem and the name of one who purchased it. Cyno has put his strongest deck in this box. He believes that as long as he gets to duel with this deck, he will be nothing short of invincible. Of course, the next thing to do is to find a couple players who are willing to play against him. Hmm... Would that Forest Watcher be available at the moment? * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4 |
| Vision | When it comes to how Cyno got his Vision, many versions of the story can be found circulating in the Akademiya. Some say that he was once instructed to arrest a researcher who had been studying methods of making counterfeit Visions. The researcher had previously bought a masterless Vision for research, which then became Cyno's Vision. Some believe that Cyno is actually a descendant of King Deshret. They say that he grew up in a temple located in the Great Red Sand and was raised by a nameless Hermanubis priest who cultivated Cyno's will and strength before, when he was ready, bestowing upon him a Vision and requiring him to cross the desert all by himself to arrive at the Akademiya and enact Hermanubis' will. Of course, according to some conspiracy theories, Cyno's Vision is closely connected with certain forbidden technologies hidden within the Akademiya. Otherwise, how could this member of the desert ilk earn a spot in the Akademiya? No one dares to check any of the stories' authenticity with Cyno in person, and Cyno himself cannot be bothered to waste energy on these ridiculous rumors. The truth is that the way he obtained his Vision was rather simple. It was the day before he was about to become the new General Mahamatra. As per usual, after finishing his work as a matra, Cyno went to the library to read books relating to the Akademiya's rules and regulations. He can still well remember that the book he was reading that day mainly talked about the six cardinal sins that the sages had decided on, which they held to be the origins of all crimes and thus served as the foundation for all the modern rules and regulations of the Akademiya. While he was reading the chapter on "to attempt the forbidden and fear none," he failed to fathom some chunks of the content depicted in the book, so he closed his eyes and ruminated. The moment he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a Vision, laid nicely on the page. Cyno looked at the Vision and fell into contemplation. He first confirmed that there was no existing rule that prohibited someone from being granted a Vision. Then he went over several academic cases with Visions involved and ensured that this Vision was not some malicious trap. He went on to ponder the challenges he might encounter after becoming the General Mahamatra and how this Vision might help in these future trials... After carefully weighing up the pros and cons, Cyno finally accepted this gift from the gods earnestly. By then, the morning light was already shining through the windows. Cyno left the library with the Vision and his as-yet-unfinished read in hand before heading over to the location where he was to be inaugurated as the General Mahamatra. If all went well, in half an hour, he would become the Akademiya's new General Mahamatra. He was about to be entrusted with the sacred power to judge those who had erred, and this Vision would ensure that this sacred privilege could be exercised as intended. * Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 6 |

is wanderer better than him? iam saving for cyno c2 and weapon. I like them equally but isrsly need a main dps
With Nahidas release I am having a blast with hyperbloom Cyno-Bennet-Yelan-Nahida. Bennet has instructor and the new craftable, Cyno full EM.
He has ~950EM base + 100 from burst + 150 from set + 120 instructor + 120 from sword leaf + 250 from Nahida = ~1790 EM. My hyperblooms hit for ~39k.
Since his auto attacks and parts of his E also scale off EM and Bennet buffs attack, he also deals respectable electro dmg and the rotation flows beautifully with Nahidas 20s duration, Yelans 15s duration and Bennets 12s duration into Cyno onfield.
It’s 1690EM, I miscalculated.
Ngl 1690 em is nutts, but i dont think is good because with more EM the % of reaction damage is even less than the first 300-600 em i suggest you to balance your cyno a bit and your team beacuase i didnt see anyone to use instructor on bennet LOL.
Even so is just my suggestion play the way you want is ok if you enjoy it. 🙂
What the fuck have they done to Cyno voice lines on his skill, that was one of the reasons I pulled him cuz he sounded so OP before the update. Idk why they do that shit of changing a character when it’s already good. What’s the point of summoning then if the character it’s going to be changed later. At least give us an option to use what we want.
I have the same opinion, im scared of summoning. Each year they keep making worst decisions
ikr 🙁 I was so shocked when i heard him (JP) skill with a different tone on his burst mode. I wonder why they changed it….It was already amazing, now it’s just…meh
Fully builded Cyno with 100%CR-300%CD C6R5 VS 0.2% BLACK ADAM aka Mr.Rock
WHO WOULD WIN ?

Just recently I got a coop session with some randos and a Cyno player against Azhdaha. We had to repeat twice lmao. Poor Cyno got cucked hard every time he’s using his burst. Either Azhdaha went under or throwing tantrums, made Cyno unable to do anything while in his burst form. Kinda funny and sad at the same time. And since nobody was using dendro, his purple damage looked pathetic. At the third session we managed to won but the Cyno player died midgame so yeah…
Sounds more like a bad player instead of a bad unit.
And tell me about Hutao in coop with a healer, damn what a bad unit.
It doesn’t matter if the player is bad or not. He played with what was, and if he pulled out a bullshit, because no one forced him. This does not mean that he was just a fool or that he was misled. Outside the co-op game the result would be the same.
Sure thing buddy. Cyno is one of the best single target units and if you underperform then the problem is with you or your build. And since he has such a long uptime on his burst, he is also one of the best coop units, where most have severe downtime issues.
But keep riding your hate train, if that is what makes you.
It’s not Cyno’s fault. Electro is the worst element since the beginning of the game and only recently gain resurgence via dendro. If Cyno holds a different element, it would be a different story.
If I may support this: Def bad players Cyno has 3 draws is that aren’t even that big. He has a stance change instead of a damage multiplier to unlike yoimiya you can’t scale off Basic attack as well. He can be run with other reactions but Aggravate carries. He’s not a Co-Op character. Cyno’s arguably best comp (that i’ve tested) is EM Kuki, Dendro Traveler, and Kazuha. At level 80 a Mid Artifacts Azda is a cake walk. Cyno is just not a Co-Op character because he lacks versatility. But that doesn’t make him bad.
tzariza’s slave is probably just bored and has nothing better to do but forum pvp.
It’s just a bad decision been made. If it was Nilou, the result would be the same or worse. Doesn’t mean Nilou is a bad unit.
The Result is not the same. 70/190 can deal 40k+ Per slash to Raiden. And she has Electro Res. The same foes for Azda. He’s not a Co-Op character no, he needs his team. But just because you and the people you played with don’t know how to build him doesn’t mean he’s bad.
I sound like him IRL. Reason I pulled for him
Based
I really dont care anymore-Abyss is hardly challenging for me at this point. I’ll just go Cyno/Nahida/Collei/Dori. Im tired of using cringey characters like bennett and xiangling
good one
Playing OW2? Good luck man, “doompost” caller only exists in genshin. Playing OW2 means you’ll be bombarded with negative opinions with nobody to call them “doompost”.
In fact, if you choose to play anything but genshin, brace yourself lol. Only genshin have hyv’s protection in form of “doompost” caller to protect us from negative opinion.
Not sure players should take advice from the same “doomposters” who said all sorts of actual negative things about Raiden’s kit – who also has one of the most pragmatically broken C2s in the game.
The vocal minority is simply filled with people who can’t tell the difference between negativity and criticism. They lump the two words together and call it “doomposting”.
Same with positivity, praise, and practicality. All of those (while very different) get lumped together as “defending HYV”.
It’s all very polarizing really.
So, mentioning raidou means “said all sorts of actual negative things about Raiden’s kit”?
Really?
Raiden is one of the strongest character in the game, but you know why? She gives steroid to national team, the strongest team in the game. It’s just another fking xiangling bennett all over again.
Raidou’s team DPS might not be as good as national team, but by god it’s fking fun. If it exists anyway….
And you… you’re ironic. You say people can’t differentiate between negativity and criticism? You’ve just proven how you’re the one who can’t do it. And the evidence is vast, look around, touch grass, play other games, enter other game’s communities. You’ll rapidly realize that literally nothing else in this entire world have so much toxicity as genshin’s community, filled with doompost caller.
How do I know? I play way too many other games in my free time that’s how.
Why are you getting triggered about Raiden now?
Raiden is just one of many examples. I’m not about to write an entire thesis chronicling all the things people have said about every single strong character currently available in the game.
So because you play tons of games you think you’re the authority on who can tell the difference between negativity and criticism?
Oh this fking troll dude… this fking troll. Deliberately mention raiden and then says “Why are you getting triggered about Raiden now?” after being addressed. This fking troll.
I’m a fish feelsbadman.
Yep, you got trolled because mentioning Raiden in any way shape or form is bait. Ok then.
I think there’s probably a minor language barrier happening here, so just leave it at that.
to be fair childe’s national team is better than raiden’s national team
I play a lot of multiplayer games and I can understand why ppl would have negative opinions about characters cuz the goal is usually to win and if you pick a weak character-ppl will call you out. But genshin doesnt even have a “win” condition which is why I like it-and no, 600 gems and some resources every 15 days are cope rewards for all the time and investment you put in the game. Which is why I find it funny that some people go so hard for meta in this game with no pvp or even ultra difficult pve like fgo or smth.
You haven’t played enough game.
There’re billions of single player games out there which characters are literally free to earn because those are not gacha games, and people define which one is the best and how to build them.
Yes, those are free characters. Now in genshin, characters are FKING EXPENSIVE. You either pay them with money, or with time. Doesn’t it makes more sense for people to suggest which one is good and which one is not in this game EVEN MORE than in games where characters are fking free?
IDK, logic, common sense, as if it went completely out of the window as people start joining genshin communities. The common narrative here is so outlandish, genshin players could barely adapt with other game’s environment at all.
The characters in Genshin are essentially free. You you don’t even have to whip out a credit card. Most people have preferences, so even in non-gacha games people aren’t playing every single character available. They play their favorites. Time is something that is spent on any game regardless of type, so that is a moot point. Maybe you play so many games to the point you feel pressured to get the very best of everything – which simply isn’t necessary.
If you have the need to see meta in every game you play then thats a you problem tbh. This is a CASUAL MOBILE GAME where the point is to chill and explore with occasional combat;Spiral abyss isnt even 10% of the whole game. And also you can already clear everything in the game with the FREE characters and as a F2P so you dont even have to get new characters by your own logic lol. Also, I play 8 gacha games where meta actually matters with constant powercreep and genshin is purposefully trying to avoid that route which means I dont have to worry about it. Learn how to relax buddy, meta has its time and place
I mean… who asked?
Nobody not a right soul cares about what mid units you’ll pick in abyss because the game is single-player. Its like you’re showing us that you’re pressed over those units that you got being so underwhelming…
Though playing ow2 will be different story… you’ll be need to play meta in comp or otherwise you gonna be called out with a gamer word every few seconds because you’re basically useless slot in the team. enjoy deadge game while it lasts (if ofc u still didn’t uninstall this crap) lol
Being called a ‘gamer word’ for not playing strictly meta in OW2 sounds even worse than Genshin because OW2 is multiplayer. lol Who wants to constantly be harassed and labelled ‘useless’ for playing a character they enjoy?
You know you can just one trick any character and be so good that you can shut everyone up with actual skill right? and the op’s point is prob that theres no point in chasing meta for genshin in particular since mid units can just clear abyss no problem since abyss is more rng dependent than skill dependent-look at zajeff stream where 40% of it is just resetting abyss for the perfect enemy rng lul
Rejoice, Cyno mains! It’s your lucky day. OPhida is going to save your Cyno. He will no longer be a mid dps
What are you even saying?
Don’t waste Nahida on Cyno teams T_T you don’t want to lose DPS using mydno
IKR. I know this too well since I’m a xiao main. The feeling of regret after you put everything into him, triple crowned him, pulling for both zhongli and albedo, but in the end…. that stupid cringy teenage chef is obliterating his DPS from off-field in a much larger AoE by herself. It hurts every part of my soul, I swore not to repeat the same mistake again. And they though that releasing another version of that is a good idea?
At least with xiao, there’s no other plunge spammer anemo DPS other than him, but cyno? He’s an aggravate driver, thundering fury user, both aspects powercrept on lauch by keqing just like that. Big brain devs, it’s not a powercreep if it’s powerseep.
Fischl/Yae and Keqing is still better though.
Man I’m a fucking idiot, tried to wish for Kuki Shinobu got Cyno, C5 Candace and qiqi but still no Shinobu… Lesson learned. Anyways how do you guys play him? Ngl apart from his cool burst animation he is kinda meh to me. Hard to use without a healer or shielder. Yet even Zhongli’s shield expires even before his burst expire. Kinda sucks tbh. Any advice? He may be fun to use in over world stuffs
I use him for commissions and friendship xp. Other than that he’s benched. Boi is weeeeak af. Super regret getting him tbh.
。。。
His best team (highest DPS) is still national. Cyno-xinqiu-xiangling-bennett. Not because it have good synergies, but because the other characters are that fking good. But if synergy is what you seek, then double geo aggravate cyno would be the most synergistic. Cyno-dendro MC-zhongli-albedo. They are the only non national team characters whose duration can almost reach cyno’s.
But I won’t say he’s weak… people will call me doomposter if I do, so I’ll just call him… dunno, fun and different? Yea.
Gosh, I’m glad that no other game in existence abuse the word “doompost” this much, so I only need to keep this charade in genshin.
“Doompost” gets used when people critique and gives suggestions.
“Whiteknight” gets used when someone finds something positive.
Oh well. There will always be someone complaining.
I love genshin’s exploration. I say this a lot. Am I a whiteknight?
This is what people call as whiteknight:
Normal person: “Hyv is lowering 4 star characters quality”
Whiteknight: “Do you want powercreep??? Hyv is doing great with character quality.”
Normal person: “This game’s dialogue writing was awful. 2 years and several billions dollars of profit later, it get worse.”
Whiteknight: “Mentioning billions of dollars again, cringe. If you hate it so much, why don’t you make your own game?”
See the pattern? Yes, it’s not being positive, it’s blatant pandering. There’re massive differences between being positive, and pandering.
Pandering is an obvious attempt at justifying something bad.
And since even the slightest attempt of expressing any negative aspect towards any aspect of the game will get “doompost” label, it’s practically impossible to criticize anything in the game. Unless you’re a person of authority, like content creators. As for me, I’ll limit my criticism towards the parameter around, but outside of the game, like this one, since there’s no “doompost” labelling trend for criticism against the behavior of the community. Being negative against the community is quite fine, thank god for that.
You’re using “whiteknight” to label people whose opinions and suggestions don’t align with your own.mAnd content creators aren’t people of authority. They are gamers who have a platform that allows their opinions and critiques to reach a greater audience.
No matter what you say, you’re complaining and using your own definitions of criticism and whiteknight to justify your own behavior.
You don’t even know what a whiteknight actually is. Here’s some help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_knight_(business). Is HYV currently involved in a hostile takeover?
A comment about a suggestion with a little mention on the community who abuse the long forgotten word “doompost”, which real use was to describe religious lunatics who spread the fear of apocalypse, is now being dragged into a tangent about what insider whiteknight means. No shit insider whiteknight differ from outsider whiteknighting. Like how outsider trade is legal but insider trade is ILLEGAL because the two of them are two separate thing despite both using the word “trade”.
Insider and outsider trading are both real business terms used within a business-related context. They are two different words.
Both whiteknight and doompost are single words that are being used incorrectly to justify petty arguments in the Genshin community. Their actual definitions have nothing to do with a game character’s kit or people who think HYV isn’t the worst company on the planet.
And ‘insider whiteknight’ and ‘outsider whiteknight’ are words you just made up in a convuluted attempt to refute.
You done gaslighting? You’re wasting the space for the proper discussion to continue. There’re only so much reply chains in this site.
There are troll and spam posts all over this site, along with comments as short “cope”. I’d like to think that a conversation outlining the misuse of words in the Genshin community is a step up from that.
Anyway, my point is, if people want to deem your critique of Cyno’s ‘s kit as doomposting, neither you nor or I can do much to stop them. I, however, I agree with your take on Cyno’s Burst synergy issues. It’s perplexing how HYV released Cyno like that considering all the feedback the community has given since Xiao’s release.
Tried to get a single Candace in 180 rolls and it took 210 to get her while Sayu and Shinobu went to c6 and I got this guy at c2. He’s a bit better at that stage, practically required to even get anything good out of him, but compared to shogun he’s still lacking. Better, but needs work. Managed to get him to work relatively well with him, dendro mc, fischl, sayu for the healing/anemo shred/desert exploration even though it doesn’t last long enough. Works fine for abyss with his main hit doing about 40k and the additional hits 15-20k using primordial but when the buffs teeter off he just feels like garbage afterwards and for open world he needs his burst to remotely do anything and typically everything dies before his first buffed E even comes up save for resin bosses.
You may not believe this, but he’s great in a hyperbloom team. Cyno, Barbara (yes you read that right), dendro x 2 (now is dendro MC + Collei, later replace with Nahida). Since Cyno’s secondary stat is EM, and dendro resonance gives bonus EM, the dendro bolts created by him deals insane dendro damage.
Relying on damage buffs is kinda pathetic and his em scaling passive talent gives low base damage which ruins his endgame.
Just get good, bro. Practice more.
don’t u mean get lucky?
