One of the most heavily anticipated releases in Version 3 was Cyno. With Electro hot on the rise thanks to Dendro, players were expecting the new shiny Electro 5 star unit to demonstrate the full scope of the element’s new strength. But with how messy his Version 3 career was, only really finding his stride in Version 4, is he forever burdened by a bad first impression? For today’s episode of Why NO ONE Plays, we’ll be discussing Cyno.

Cyno's jokes are so aggravating 🫤
11:00 I was one of those Noelle mains lol
Cyno is my main and I love him, BUT I see why people don’t play him. Mine is so good because I got stupid lucky pulling him (3 copies in 50 pulls for his C2), and to this day he’s the only character I’ve pulled a signature weapon for, and I got that on first try too. Plus I’ve got a C2 Nahida, C1 Furina and Baizhu. This might sound like whale talk, but I spent $15 to get all these, I didn’t pull for ANYONE ELSE for months. There are characters that are easier to build strong teams for, so unless you’re a huge Cyno fan like me, he’s not worth it.
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Another thing, every last drop of his "power budget" as you often put it is put into his burst, so his skill is totally useless for anything other than generating particles. Considering just how burst dependent he is, it isn't even that good at doing that.
Let me say like this: "Cyno is the character I regret pulling the most!"
Cyno: NOOOO YOU CANT HAVE 90% FIELD TIME USING 4pc-TF WITHOUT ER REQUIREMENTS
KeqingClorinde: Haha, sword goes brrrrrr
no one plays him cause he's one of the few units that needs a 2+ other 5 stars to be good
kusanali for dendro application
baizhu for heals and shields
and fischl/ei for battery
electro charged is screwed cause there's only kokomi and barbara for heals, and electro has no good healer. both (hydro and electro) have yet to get a unit that can shield too (unless if you count beidou's burst as a shield)
and overloaded is one of the worst reactions in the game and isn't even worth discussing, especially if it's only "good" with a specific unit. that makes it worse, not better.
he's a burst only dps unit and his burst lasts quite long as long as you can "easily" get the button prompts. so the only realistic fix is to make characters who's abilities last longer
Cyno and Dehya really stole my enthusiasm to play this game. Candace, Dori and Keveh really didn't help either. Amber, Eula, Klee and a few others need rebalancing. Hoyo wont do it. I walked away. WuWa is alot more fun imho.
I have him double crowned with sig but don’t play him often bc he’s not overworld friendly and I like to use new characters in the overworld
AND EVEN THAT, The best team for him is the best team for the entire of the "Dendro Damage Dealer" and furina is a unit that is more disputed than a popular girl in schools of tv shows
Of all the points made in this video, his main issue is indeed flexibility.
That was dreading this day. I was hoping it wouldn't come as a Cyno main 😞
But It all has valid points.
poor Cyno, he has an awesome design, one of my favs, but as soon as I saw his long cooldown I knew he would be troublesome
whats the background sound name??
i loved his design so much… i tried so hard to make him good, even recently, after i got furina. but his damage is just so SHIT. (i have raiden c4, arle c1, wanderer c1, so cyno was just so disappointing)
The final nail on the coffin … oops 😂
The castle crashers music in the background takes me back
I still play as him since his burst is still one of my favorites, not playing as him now tho since the game doesn't believe in dropping an EM sands with double crit or at least crit rate
I've been wanting to get Cyno for a while now but it's so hard to pull for rerun characters when there are some many interesting new characters coming out, i doubt i'll be able to pull for him if he gets a rerun in Natlan either.
As someone who mained him for a bit, I think hes one of those characters you mostly play purely because of their character. Kinda like Thoma, where they're maybe not very good but you like them as a character rather than a unit.
Not you calling Ei a sub dps where I make her my main dps ðŸ˜
I can’t even argue with this one. I’ve asked dozens of people who pulled for Cyno and his signature. NONE played him for more than two patches and then just never used him since. Myself included… His signature now belongs to Xiangling
If I were to give Cyno one buff, I would give him the ability to keep his infusion while off field(like Noelle).
I think that's all he needs, and would make him a really flexible sustained DPS and let him outstand over other electro damage dealers.
as a c2 Cyno main, he absolutely feels like a character that would have been more popular and successful if he came out at the end of Sumeru after there were more characters to use with him (even if his kit remained exactly the same).
Like him being out before Nahida was actually insane.
Once I get all my character levels up I will try to have him on a team only because of his jokes 😅
I have cyno, good weapons, his best team, and I can say: he is trash.
Why I don't play Cyno: He's the only Sumeru character I don't have.
Real reason, there's still no Dendro character that synergizes well with him.
funny enough i was pulling for 4 stars on both cyno and baizhu banners and i got both of them, so i techniclly have his optimal team, i swear getting 5 stars is easier then 4 stars in this game. i just dont care to use him most of the time
Cynos legit. Got him and weapon bc I liked his story and such. All rounder atkr. Gotta add up numbers rather than look for BIG numbers.
poor Alejandro, voicing characters deemed by their respective communities as mid /j
"it was.. qiqi (gg) for him"
honestly, this video might be an eye-opener for me 🤔
i was skipping Cyno with this idea in mind that he is performing poorly in all situations, but now i consider pull for him (still i have rest of the team and almost no interest in natlan chars)
It really calls my attention why not so many people talk about how good Kitain Cross Spear R3+ and Thundering Fury are good on him to fix his ER issues, and also for higher DPS since he casts more skills.
But I guess they don't because of the following:
1. People were comparing him to already existing units instead, like Riaden and Keqing.
2. Hoyo promoted Gilded Dreams as his best set instead, which is also good, but theorycrafters have proven TF gives more benefits, leaving GD as second best. It's kind of like Rosaria using 4pc Bloodstained set in her trial.
Cyno was my first five star character. I started playing right towards the end of 3.0. Nowadays though he has gotten his first use of mine forever as my Emilie artifact and weapon hanger lol.
Woahh i thought cyno would get a what happened to Vid. Since he got buff after buff to the point he has the highest damaging quickbloom team in the game(possibly even more than Al) managing to reach top 5. But i guess with the multiwave issues and his burst reliant playstyle it kinda made sense it's kinda like Xiao, but Xiao has Faruzan(at c6 to keep up with him.). i don't think Baizhu is a solution as while yes he provides IR and heals, he feels pretty bad as a deepwood user unless if it's bosses. Not to mention Clorinde who even if she's somewhat weaker than cyno in dendro teams, she is easier to play though.
Ok Ngl what was that about Baizhu? I thought alot of people pulled for him when furina came out. But even then neuvillette pulls him away.
I've genuinely never encountered a problem with his up time (in abyss). More often than not, I get his burst charged back up before using up its duration. It allows me to switch to other characters in order to reapply skills and buffs.
LMAO, when i started i mixed up sayu and cyno more than once. (shut up whe i said i was new i meant REALLY new) 1:11
his burst is good but downside is you cant swap it or it will lost
I got him and pulled Nahida just because I thought it would make him do better damage. It hardly worked. I regret pulling him. I'd rather play Keqing. Tho I generally hate playing burst reliant characters anyways. Aside from Itto.
Hey now, I was getting Baizhu at release because he is a long-anticipated pretty green medicine man with a sassy albino snake. What his kit or use was did not factor in for me. Now, I might need to consider Cyno, not only for being enabled by now, but to keep up this barefoot roster I've started up among the post-Genshin games.
No one plays Cyno bc Kuki is literally twice as better for Hyperbloom and we have Yae/Fischl for Aggravate. He's just mid bro. :/
