#1 Cyno Catalyze Hyperbloom Team — Cyno Nahida Yelan Kuki (SS)

Tier SS

SS-tier Catalyze team built around Cyno Main DPS. The team maximizes damage by triggering Catalyze and using Kuki to create Hyperbloom cores. Nahida provides strong Dendro application and buffs, Yelan supplies off-field Hydro, and Kuki acts as healer/support that enables Hyperbloom. Two Electro characters also shorten Tri-Karma Purification intervals.

#2 Nahida Hyperbloom — Kuki Shinobu C2 Burst Team

Tier SS

Nahida is the on-field Main DPS. Her Dendro applications (mainly from her Elemental Skill) combine with off-field Hydro from Xingqiu and Yelan to create Bloom cores. Kuki Shinobu (Electro, C2 recommended) then uses her Electro skill to activate those cores and trigger Hyperbloom. With two Hydro off-field supports and one Electro, the team's Tri-Karma Purification procs faster and Nahida's burst duration is easier to maintain.
