QUICKBLOOM/HYPERBLOOM DPS
Cyno in Quickbloom/Hyperbloom involves building for a mixture of talent, Aggravate and Hyperbloom damage with a Hydro unit on the team. This is his highest damage setup at C0. However, at C2 and above Aggravate teams become more competitive.
Weapon Rankings Assuming a Significant Amount of Hydro Application from an Off Field Unit
- Energy Recharge Weapons: In teams where energy is scarce, such as teams without another Favonius weapon or an Electro user, these weapons can be desired for the Energy Recharge it gives.
- Skyward Spine: This weapon may perform equal to or better than White Tassel [R5] if the ATK Speed it gives is utilized to hit more of Cyno's Normal Attacks.
Artifact Sets
- Marechaussee Hunter (4): This set is specifically usable when pairing Cyno with Furina, a Quickbloom variant which wants reliable teamwide healing (ideally Baizhu). In this team, it performs similarly to Gilded Dreams (4).
Mainstat Choices
- Any combination of Elemental Mastery, Electro DMG Bonus, and Crit Rate / DMG is effective on Cyno.
- With consistent Hydro application, his highest damage combination is Elemental Mastery Sands, Electro DMG Bonus Goblet, and Elemental Mastery Circlet.
- However, the mainstats are extremely close in damage, so it should be determined through the value of the substats on your pieces.
AGGRAVATE DPS Cyno is a DPS character that uses his burst to change stance and deal Electro damage. The damage dealt during this stance is Normal Attack damage so burst damage buffs will not affect him. Cyno in Aggravate focuses solely on doing high personal damage with his burst stance with other Dendro and Electro characters.
Weapon Choices
- Skyward Spine: In teams where Cyno does not need the Energy Recharge from this weapon, do not use this weapon. This weapon may perform equal to or better than White Tassel [R5] if the ATK Speed it gives is utilized to hit more of Cyno's Normal Attacks.
- Kitain Cross Spear: This weapon is especially competitive with the options higher on the list if Cyno is not being run with an Electro battery.
- Deathmatch: At R5, this weapon performs similarly to Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
Artifact Sets
- Thundering Fury (4): In optimal conditions, this is Cyno's best artifact set. This set is an especially competitive option when Cyno is the only Electro character in the team, as the extra Elemental Skill casts help alleviate his energy issues. Do note that casting his skill off cooldown with this set might lead to missing Endseer stance windows. It is highly recommended to use a shielder with Cyno with this set.
- Gilded Dreams (4): This artifact set is better than Gladiator's Finale (4) on Staff of the Scarlet Sands and White Tassel.
- Thundersoother (4): If you can guarantee 100% uptime on this set, it performs better than Gladiator's Finale (4). However, satisfying this condition is infeasible on most teams.
Main Stat Choices
- Sands: Elemental Mastery versus ATK% is heavily dependant on the weapon and team Cyno is in. It is recommended to test each and/or consult an optimizer.
- Circlet: With Staff of the Scarlet Sands, Elemental Mastery may be used as the circlet mainstat.
