oke
great vid!
this is why f2p is the only way to go with hoyoverse .imagine racking up useless characters that you just end up benching after 2 weeks .there are a handfull actually good characters in the game and once you get them you dont need anything else .
Great video. Definitely like watching videos like these.
This vieo is pretty accurate! Great job!
Cyno is one of my favourite characters in the game, both lore, drip and gameplay wise, it is so sad seeing him being so underrated because of a clunky start 🙁
I don't know what's with Hoyo and colored people in Genshin. Cyno, Candace, Dehya… Coolest designs but trash trash kits. Never understood why…
I have high hopes for him he can potentially get better and better with each dendro support they release
Cyno isn’t the problem tbh he just needs better dendro supports(other than Nahida) maybe Kaveh or Baizhu will help him a lot.
And cyno gets a instant rerun bs
glad he's in a better position but at the same time, I don't really know if I'd enjoy raising him or using him, really
Sometimes i think that maybe the first impression of Cyno would be different if he was released after nahida, not before
For me Nahida and Cyno is like Hu Tao and Xingqiu a perfect combo.😊
Cyno even have signature weapon isn't enough to compete for DPS standard (Keqing is much better than him, she is Quick swap DPS and you don't need shield unit to make her alive) I have cyno with his signature weapon but I still not satisfied his damage output.
Cyno need nahida to work or he need Dendro who can provide healing or SHIELD (Yes cyno is dependant for Shield Unit, we need Dendro Zhongli who can applied 1 elemental gauge)
The scarabs is hard to find since that material was moving.
The thing I dislike the most is that he's incredibly selfish. He requires way too much field time and switching him out too early will cancel out his practically only significant damage output. Even played perfectly, his dps is still sadly not great in today's standards
He's sort of like childe upon his initial release, but he needs another dendro support like perhaps baizhu for his position in quickbloom to be fully realized
Another nail in the coffin are the existence of Raiden and Alhaitham, if you want an electro carry, Raiden even at C0 is an excellent option and can battery the team and do damage at the same time, meanwhile for dendro comps Alhaitham is just better than Cyno
I mean Nahida is THE fix for Cyno isn't it…I am running Cyno, Beidou, Nahida and Zhongli…the only problem and a massive one at that is the long ass burst on Cyno it acts as a double-edged sword..when I am in cyno burst mode with all the other buffs from other teammate active my cyno is absolutely shredding the enemies like weeds but the problem is if I switch to Nahida to mark more enemies my cyno burst goes away like Razor and it's very annyoing to say the least…But I still love Cyno as a character and his playstyle is what attracted me towards pulling him..I mean the only place meta actually matters is the abyss and players playing the game for more 2 years already have enough characters to easily clear the abyss even F2Ps…I have long since disregarded seeing characters through meta standpoint as an AR 59 player all that matters to me is the gameplay if it's fun or not and the character looks…BUT yeah I would not recommend any new player to pull for Cyno…A new player has to have a good character to carry them through the game and Cyno is not that he only works in Aggrevate and Hyperbloom teams and u absolutely need Nahida and with Beidou c6 u do more dmg…so yeah investment is very high for a character that has issues…New players don't go for Cyno………………… Old players do whatever u wanna do u know enough to decide on ur own..!!
Its the energy issue for me.
Cut the burst short, reapply dendro, funnel energy, repeat.
Also, for dendro application: the band-aid solution, Nahida, is a 5-star. While Yuegui only lasts for 10 seconds.
Overworld is my biggest problem with cyno
Cyno is good, the problem is just that he isn't necessary. I know Alhaitham is literally the best DPS in the game so it's not really a fair comparison, but Alhaitham does destroy Cyno in quickbloom, hyperbloom, and quicken teams. Keqing can be a little better or a little worse depending on the type of floor, and she's a standard banner unit (even if she is very strong). Cyno also doesn't have the ridiculous flexibility of Nahida or Alhaitham, or the short rotations that Keqing and Tighnari have. It just feels like he's a jack of all trades, master of none, who is outshined in all relevant regards by his competition. He's good, but you probably have a character who's as good or better. It really is a unique and unfortunate position.
He probably has the worst E of all characters… at least xiao has 2 charged at c0 and all the other characters have sacrificial weapons
The problem with Cyno is in part due to the lack of tailor made supports (or having to rely on the high on domand Nahida), but mostly due to the fact that we already have a lot of amazing electro units.
Kuki became s tier after dendro.
Yae finally became very convenient.
Keqing got buffed by dendro like crazy.
Raiden simply can't be beat.
Personally, what I don't like about him is how much both hoyo, characters ingame and himself overhyped him. Kinda makes him feel like a clown when he does just fine.
Ps. Another problem with all sumeru units. They take forever to raise because hoyo obviously found another wonderful way to time gate us: everyone and their mother require talent materials from scara boss. When it takes you 2 months to raise your new character, they feel weak af for two months, simple as that. And you're gonna wait 2 months or more, when the same mats are weekly locked and shared by many characters. In my case, for example, I had to raise: Nahida, scara, Faruzan, Yao Yao and Alhaitham in a very short period of time. Yao Yao is still at 6, wanderer still has his burst at 8, took forever to crown Nahida's E, I could only raise faruzan Q so far, Alhaitham is still 6 8 6. That's some next level BS.
And they know it, because they didn't pull this crap in inazuma. Ayaka and kazuha both required azhdaha's materials for example. Do they really have to be so fucking lore accurate they need to make sumeru character level up with sumeru weekly boss mats? Give me a break.
Ps. Yaoyao is from liyue and they still pulled this scaramouche boss bs. (and guess what dehya requires…)
wanting to save burst in the overworld is so accurate. also if u want to run double anemo for mobility u have to choose between energy issues or reactions.
Waiting for dendro shielder baizu
Love it. Do one for Nilou
Can you make video of Kokomi?
He is the same role and element as Raiden and Keqing – on field electro DPS.
That's the problem, he can't compete with them.
…and then you realize Dendro on field DPS units do the exact same thing as Electo but with a higher reaction multiplier so even in Quicken…Alhaitham and future units. Yeah.
Sir, you just made me realize. If I get C1 Yelan, my life will be easier just to double tap enemies and forget. Thank you. I will use my guaranteed to get one.
you didnt talk about the manga why?
Another problem during his release is his BiS team isn't what prople thought it would be. I and many players, when seeing his unga bunga attacks, thought he should be in aggravate team. But, after some time to sink in, people started to realize that quickbloom is the best way to play him.
I haven’t mained him but he has potential
I don't care about what English Genshin CC said
My main motivation was Genshin Manga which was published in 2018
As of today, I have admitted my defeat, I tried to take as much copium as possible and tried proving his utility so many times, but he just can't do it yet, he still lacks something, idk what it is? I have mained him since his release, I waited for 2 years for his release, spent everything for him too, but suddenly and a guy akademiya's xingqui is release with keqing playstyle and beats him in every field, even In hyperbloom. I have done quickbloom cyno and love the character and his playstyle and everything and then I am saying there are better options. I would like to conclude by saying that I equipped him with best artifact set, PJWS talent maxed, and I will keep him like that, if he rises again, which I am sure he will, I will start using him again
One thing I dislike about Cyno is his struggle against multi wave content. Nahida applies mark from on-field, therefore, if you start your rotation with Cyno and new wave spawns after 10 seconds from his burst you have two horrible choices: switch and lose energy and uptime or stay on him and do neglectible damage.
No-one thinks Cyno is actually bad, it's just that keqing exists already and she's basically just as good on damage, more flexible with her field time, and she's a hot catgirl
I feel like Cyno just doesn't have supports for him, which makes him feel bad to play to the average player. It's the reason why Alhaitham performs better than him despite having basically the same team option.
Alhaitham already has Electro teammates – Raiden, Fischl, Yae, Kuki. All of them apply Electro regardless of what happens, except Raiden who needs damage to be dealt to the enemy… Which isn't that hard to bypass. Fischl is absolutely busted with her ascension passive, Yae was made with Aggrevate in mind, Kuki was made with Hyperbloom in mind and can heal.
However, Cyno only has Nahida and DMC. That's it. DMC, as noted, is confined to a circle. Nahida needs to be swapped in to for multi-wave content. If we had something like idunno…. Dendro Thoma, Cyno might be put in a better spot, but for now… He just doesn't have much to work with and it makes his flaws extremely obvious.
I hope they add more dendro options/more characters in general that have longer uptimes on their kit (which considering how Mika's buff doesn't even last for the duration of Eula's burst….. I… Don't think things are going well so far….)
I still like using him more than any other hyper Carry.
Liked this style of video
I absolutely love Cyno. I accidentally got his C1 at 25 Pity and 50/50 and I don't regret it. I use him with dendro traveler, Xinqui and Kuki. This is one of my abyss teams and I think he's really fun to play (especially during his burst)
I feel like we need a dendro xiangling for him just like Childe lmao
cyno si great i only have him C0 and i dont have his weapon but his great, but to you who are paying for this game, u just dont know how to use him i think, for me a F2p his so great, so much damage with good support specially boss fight
I personally like playing characters that aren't mainstream. Problem is, other people take that offensively for some reason when they ask who I play. That's why I just say I don't play meta characters anymore 🤷♂️
Isn't it obvious? He told one too many Dad Jokes.
…Or could be the things you mentioned in the video. Either or, really. Mayhap even both.
I don’t care. I’m still gonna pull for him cus his burst combat is just so cool
I like playing him since nahida came, he is very good already in quickbloom, and also i realkze quickbloom comps is very broken, cyno dominated abyssfrom 3.2 to 3.3, til i got alhaitham, who is very strong and very versatile unit that cyno hasnt
Cyno's hype died when I knew that he was electro. (there is no reason to play him when Raiden exist)
