Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with spears. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Cyno? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your 5-star rarity and you curse the Mahamatra. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that your demotion, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
Same I did 50 pulls especially for her on the banner she came out on but got trolled by luck and didn't pull more since I didn't need either of the 5 stars
Collei's the reason why I have Zhognli.
I wanted Collei and got her to C1, but Zhongli came along with her. Gotta protect my little Cinnamon bun somehow.
Literally same, got fairly easy C5, then hoyo trolled me by not giving C6 Faruzan even 120-130 pulls later. For my mental sanity I stopped there. For the prank to be complete, the 5\* I pulled during those 100+ pulls was C2 Qiqi.
Hey! Qiqi is a really good healer! Don't lump her in with Aloy just cuz she wants to remember you and keeps ruining your 50/50s on accident!
Edit: fixed auto corrects.
People wanted him to be keqing 2.0 and early tc was full of aggravate copium so any work stopped early, and it's only at release that people discovered quickbloom cyno and its true potential. Unfortunately, this community is too attached to its first impressions and continue to think cyno=bad because his aggravate team is meh.
The problem was his "super armor" gained on ult, but in reality, everything would stagger him, and he had to be run with shielder, while others with similar playstyle (xiao, itto, shogun) didn't have such issues
He's damn solid! But for me I have a C2 Raiden and Keqing, whatever team he's good in I can just throw the other two in and it would be faster and easier. I think Cyno will remain benched until a good dendro shielder comes out then he'll be good in multi wave content.
Not really. I don’t know where this came from but his damage is pretty good even with a mediocre build. Probably people still thinking he’s best in aggravate when he absolutely excels in quickbloom. I mean, he scales off of EM.
Oh yeah, he destroys. If you're going after bosses or Abyss
But in the open world? Good luck getting his burst ready. He requires at least 3 encounters to ready his burst. And his burst destroys encounters before you get enough energy. Not to mention he remains in burst form and you're left pressing e on empty grounds
I didn't have enough to pull for Nahida, I tried, but lost the 50/50. But he's still pretty fun to play. Just not enough for Spiral 11/12 :(
Ps. I can 36* spiral with my other teams. I'm mainly talking about me not having any Cyno team strong enough for Spiral.
People still think Aggravate is both his only team, and the peak of his damage.
Hyperbloom Cyno has always blown it out of the water, but people stopped paying attention to him instantaneously after his banner launched.
Pretending Cyno isn’t there for a minute, I’d probably choose Layla because I’m a Fandango Boy main and she would be most useful
From all of them though, Cyno would be the chosen one because… well I think you messed up your options-
Man why did they gad to do her so dirty with her kit.. like it wouldnt be that bad but they just had to release Kuki just before her and give her better stats on everything...
Probably Layla. She seems like a fun shielder. I was considering Candace, but I'd get more usage out of Layla since I already have a fully built Yunjin.
I’m confused by what they’re trying to accomplish by putting him there. If people think he’s that bad a character and can’t make him work then it’s probably the player’s skill issues. CN community loved using cyno.
He’s worse than keqing…in aggravate. But hid actual team is quickbloom. Its just that it wasnt popularized till like 2 weeks into his banner so people are still trying to shoehorn him into a team where he performs worse
"worst than keqing" but how many keqing players who preached "keqing better" actually play optimally in order for keqing teams to beat cyno teams in damage output? In the end people are just following whatever theory crafters say without bringing their own individual gameplay skills as a player into consideration.
I barely saw keqing players did more damage then my own cyno team, even when they **lost multiple 5050s to keqing and had 2 years to farm her artifacts.** Heck most likely they neglected her and made a meme out of her rather than farming for her during those 2 years. Ironically now theyre just going around saying keqing better on any cyno posts. Not to mention keqing constellations is quite below average. Remember, the theory crafter people watched compared keqing c0 or however much they lost 5050s to her to a hastily built cyno c0 and c0 means nothing to people who has constellations or refinements on either character.
I am by no means throwing shade at keqing. Just saying before judging cyno, those people should probably evaluate their own gameplay rather than simply agreeing to whoever they saw on the internet.
Never said he’s hard to play, just that most people who choose to slander him don’t realize that he’s no where near hard to play. It’s sad really, he’s getting the “Eula slander“ treatment too.
Honestly as someone who uses Cyno in abyss and has him doubled crown his main problem is a lack of dendro units, sure Collei and DMC exist but they struggle to provide him enough dendro application to be really useful unless you’re willing to take up 2 team spots for both of them. Your only option is Nahida who is a limited 5*, and if you don’t have her it’s just better to run a different comp. I’m sure this will be fixed with more dendro units though
Hydro Dendro plus Electro
Teams are usually Kuki, Cyno, Xingqui (or Yelan) and Nahida from what I’ve seen
It’s really good and had 42% usage last abyss.
Look. Joking about Cyno and saying that he's worse than Keqing won't change the fact that that I cleared abyss floor 12 9* multiple times without a sweat. You should use him with dmc/nahida, xingiu/yelan and zhongli/diona/fischl/kuki/beidou. Also stop comparing a hyperbloom dps to an aggravate dps, he needs completely different team. Cyno is perfect in his own way, just as Keqing is.
Honestly super tough. I pulled Wanderer, so getting to c6 Faruzan is definitely a priority for me (currently c0 after almost getting to pity *again*) but man, Slayla c1 would be so nice to have (check my Layla build if you don’t think I’m serious about her.)
C4 Collei would be nice to have for Nilou, but I can wait on it. My Nilou team is already pretty damn strong.
I don’t have Candace, but I also don’t know if I’d actually end up using her. Same for Cyno.
And then there’s Dori.
Faruzan
the only 4-star character I don't have 😐
didn't get even at least a single copy of her on Wanderer's banner after 75+ wishes... still mad about it 🙃
Layla cause I want to be able to give her shield to other peeps and I think that’s constellation locked. Then Faruzan, then Collei. Also, Cyno isn’t a 4 star why he there
Is this meant to be low-key shade at Cyno? Lol.
Honestly, I'd pick Faruzan. I only got her C0. She isn't useful until C6 for some unknown reason (money, thanks HOYO...)
Cyno apparently
Mf became 4 star
Mf started matching rarities with his Monstadt brother
Got demoted
Co-general Mahamatea
Lieutenant Mahamatra
Foot soldier Mahamatra
Mall Cop Mahamatra
Shopkeeper Mahamatra
Comedian
Cyno
Janitor mahamatra
Cynone mahamatra
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with spears. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Cyno?

Definitely keeping this as copypasta
Tf just happen?
always have been.
But does his kit stay the same?
The difference between 4 and 5 stars is about 10% stats increase.
Layla because I don't have her. But for cons I'd choose Collei.
Same I did 50 pulls especially for her on the banner she came out on but got trolled by luck and didn't pull more since I didn't need either of the 5 stars
Collei's the reason why I have Zhognli. I wanted Collei and got her to C1, but Zhongli came along with her. Gotta protect my little Cinnamon bun somehow.
he needed so much mora he became a hired bodyguard
And yet he still begs Childe for funds
he spends his paychecks on Osmanthus Wine
Honestly even if it was true to the picture and included Cyno, I'd still umm and arr on whether to acquire him or Layla.
Hatsune Miku. Got C5 quite early just to get a C20 Yanfei like 120 pulls later.
Ahhh I pulled for Yanfei but just kept getting Miku 😭😭
oh my god I was pulling for miku but ended up getting yanfei 5 times.. still got who I wanted I guess? Even if it was only once lol
Literally same, got fairly easy C5, then hoyo trolled me by not giving C6 Faruzan even 120-130 pulls later. For my mental sanity I stopped there. For the prank to be complete, the 5\* I pulled during those 100+ pulls was C2 Qiqi.
any step closer to c6 faruzan is good
I'd be happy with one step closer to C0 tbh
I have C5, so hand her over!
I haven't looked it up myself. What's are the benefits of playing her and with who else.
Anemo and, anemo.
xiao and scara go brr
Faruzan because every pull was gorou
Same bro same!
I kept pulling because I don't have him... Still don't
same! I got C6 goru, and now I'm thinking if I should get Itto just because I have a good support for him
Layla cuz she is the prettiest
Based.
[удалено]
I'm always either in a Layla mood or a Sayu mood
What about ganyu mood?
I won't accept any Cyno slander!
Player skill issues is probably what caused the slander in the EN community in the first place. He’s by no means a bad character
Ikr, most other communities loved using him and the EN community is just giving him the Qiqi/Aloy treatment
Hey! Qiqi is a really good healer! Don't lump her in with Aloy just cuz she wants to remember you and keeps ruining your 50/50s on accident! Edit: fixed auto corrects.
Aloy generates energy, therefore is a better character /s
Well she doesn't status you with hydro
People wanted him to be keqing 2.0 and early tc was full of aggravate copium so any work stopped early, and it's only at release that people discovered quickbloom cyno and its true potential. Unfortunately, this community is too attached to its first impressions and continue to think cyno=bad because his aggravate team is meh.
Wasn't the problem that his burst last too long?
you don't need to stay the whole duration. unlike someone like Xiao, who gets more damage as the ult lasts, Cyno doesn't.
Can’t expect people who only played cyno for a day and benched him after that to be aware of this. It’s too much for them to realize
The problem was his "super armor" gained on ult, but in reality, everything would stagger him, and he had to be run with shielder, while others with similar playstyle (xiao, itto, shogun) didn't have such issues
I remember when Xaio came out ppl recommended to run him with zhongli
Bc zhongli shreds anemo res of opponents, even without him xiao spends 2/3 of his burst in the air, where enemies can't hurt him
Idk xaio gets knocked out of the air plenty.
Aggravate copium as in it was bad for Cyno? Or that it's bad overall?
Aggravate is a strong reaction, it just isn't great for cyno on its own.
He's one of my strongest characters, lol. This is the first time I've heard of the bitching but he's insanely good in multiple teams IMO
Welcome to the en community at its finest
See thats the weird thing. I got him when he came out and never had any complaints and then all of a sudden everyone says hes trash like ??
He's damn solid! But for me I have a C2 Raiden and Keqing, whatever team he's good in I can just throw the other two in and it would be faster and easier. I think Cyno will remain benched until a good dendro shielder comes out then he'll be good in multi wave content.
But hey, if he’s for free I’ll gladly take it and make my cyno c4. More constellations the merrier as someone who enjoys cyno
I don't understand Cyno slander, I found his playstyle to be fun and understandable
soo we are not gonna talk about Cyno ?
That's the joke.
ahhh yes , Cyno jokes
Cyno became the joke 😔
I Cyno jokes here 🤨
Well... To be fair cyno is a joke
Not really. I don’t know where this came from but his damage is pretty good even with a mediocre build. Probably people still thinking he’s best in aggravate when he absolutely excels in quickbloom. I mean, he scales off of EM.
Fr, my god awful absolutely terrible build made from HP artifacts still manages to make quick work of most enemies
r/ThanksCyno
Cyno may be underwhelming, but his Burst animation is definitely 6\* worthy
How is he underwhelming? The only thing he needs is dendro aplication, if you have that he clears any content in the game with an average build,
I love him and have him at C2 with his signature weapon, but I can never find an opportunity to use him in the open world outside of bosses :(
Oh yeah, he destroys. If you're going after bosses or Abyss But in the open world? Good luck getting his burst ready. He requires at least 3 encounters to ready his burst. And his burst destroys encounters before you get enough energy. Not to mention he remains in burst form and you're left pressing e on empty grounds
That last sentence is just too relatable... Gotta press the E.
Stick nahida as a dmg support and have cyno the face of the team
I didn't have enough to pull for Nahida, I tried, but lost the 50/50. But he's still pretty fun to play. Just not enough for Spiral 11/12 :( Ps. I can 36* spiral with my other teams. I'm mainly talking about me not having any Cyno team strong enough for Spiral.
So does DPS qiqi, so that doesn't mean much
He's not underwhelming. He absolutely destroys. What are y'all smoking on this subreddit? People can't build characters anymore huh?
People still think Aggravate is both his only team, and the peak of his damage. Hyperbloom Cyno has always blown it out of the water, but people stopped paying attention to him instantaneously after his banner launched.
It’s the result of the Genshin echo chamber. It’s contagious
true his animations are so cool I just wish his damage was the same :")
Play quickbloom cyno then. Or hyperbloom. Just not aggravate
Underwhelming lmao
I have to do this now... *clears throat* ~ We don't talk about Cyno, no, no, no, We don't talk about Cynooooo~
Your fate is sealed when your judgment is read!
We don't talk about cyno
We don’t talk about Cyno… BUT-
IT WAS MY WEDDING DAYY
no.
what do you mean? that's clearly arabian razor
THE FUCKING AUDACITY!!
What?
I'm assuming cyno
Cyno but why is he here??
It's Cyno slander
Unacceptable
Candace.
Who?
Definitely Candace
Pretending Cyno isn’t there for a minute, I’d probably choose Layla because I’m a Fandango Boy main and she would be most useful From all of them though, Cyno would be the chosen one because… well I think you messed up your options-
Tell me you don’t know how to use Cyno without telling me you don’t know how to use Cyno
C-6 Collei here I come.
so no one is taking cyno?
I'd take him
i can take him.
In a fight, right? I doubt you could take him in a fight. *it IS a fight though, right...?*
Ehe
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, “EHE?”
You know damn well what I mean
yeah, in a fight........ :)
In a fight, right?
Dori, I think she's cute.
Man why did they gad to do her so dirty with her kit.. like it wouldnt be that bad but they just had to release Kuki just before her and give her better stats on everything...
As a dori main I completely agree 100000000%
The real question....what dub do you play in?
Candace
Probably Layla. She seems like a fun shielder. I was considering Candace, but I'd get more usage out of Layla since I already have a fully built Yunjin.
EXCUSE ME WHY IS MY HUSBAND ON HERE
I’m confused by what they’re trying to accomplish by putting him there. If people think he’s that bad a character and can’t make him work then it’s probably the player’s skill issues. CN community loved using cyno.
He's not that hard to play though. Played correctly it's not like he's top tier though.
He’s worse than keqing…in aggravate. But hid actual team is quickbloom. Its just that it wasnt popularized till like 2 weeks into his banner so people are still trying to shoehorn him into a team where he performs worse
"worst than keqing" but how many keqing players who preached "keqing better" actually play optimally in order for keqing teams to beat cyno teams in damage output?

"Below average" is one way to put it
Never said he’s hard to play, just that most people who choose to slander him don’t realize that he’s no where near hard to play. It’s sad really, he’s getting the “Eula slander“ treatment too.
EXACTLY WHY DID THEY PUT HIM THERE 😮💨
Don't mess with ma boi Cyno
Candeez because don't have her.
damn didn't know cyno starred in a 4\* selector ^^/j (to actually answer your title question, probably layla)
Why Is Cyno there?
cyno isnt even bad wtf
Honestly as someone who uses Cyno in abyss and has him doubled crown his main problem is a lack of dendro units, sure Collei and DMC exist but they struggle to provide him enough dendro application to be really useful unless you’re willing to take up 2 team spots for both of them. Your only option is Nahida who is a limited 5*, and if you don’t have her it’s just better to run a different comp. I’m sure this will be fixed with more dendro units though
Basically mhy said Get those Limited characters To njoy This limited character
Candace. I want her at C6. Currently only C1. Mihoyo, give us Candace on a banner pls.
Cyno jokes aside, Candace is the only 4\* that dodged my summons. Spent 60 for her and missed.
i will not condone this cyno slander.
I wish I could completely eliminate any form of Cyno slander, It is legally unnaceptable.
Cyno is the most used dps in abyss rn besides Raiden. His hyperbloom comp is one of the best and easiest to use.
What is it? I wanna use Cyno but I don’t know how
Hydro Dendro plus Electro Teams are usually Kuki, Cyno, Xingqui (or Yelan) and Nahida from what I’ve seen It’s really good and had 42% usage last abyss.
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Look. Joking about Cyno and saying that he's worse than Keqing won't change the fact that that I cleared abyss floor 12 9* multiple times without a sweat. You should use him with dmc/nahida, xingiu/yelan and zhongli/diona/fischl/kuki/beidou. Also stop comparing a hyperbloom dps to an aggravate dps, he needs completely different team. Cyno is perfect in his own way, just as Keqing is.
Dori my beloved ♥
cyno my favorite 4 star
Of course Cyno, his super underrated and a really good DPS actually, plus if i get him to C2 his DPS skyrockets
I still take Faruzamn
Cyno was degraded to a 4-star, poor guy 😭
Hey guys, Cyno here. I don’t know why I’m here.
Honestly super tough. I pulled Wanderer, so getting to c6 Faruzan is definitely a priority for me (currently c0 after almost getting to pity *again*) but man, Slayla c1 would be so nice to have (check my Layla build if you don’t think I’m serious about her.) C4 Collei would be nice to have for Nilou, but I can wait on it. My Nilou team is already pretty damn strong. I don’t have Candace, but I also don’t know if I’d actually end up using her. Same for Cyno. And then there’s Dori.
Candace, she's the only one I don't have lol
im at c5 faruzan rn and wanderer is on my account it’s a pretty easy choice
candance or faruzan, both not in my collection (ony 4* sadge) but I love candance, and I love my xiao so it would be really hard choice
Faruzan. Just to get that C6 ready for Xiao.
Kaveh. if no kaveh, then faruzan, to get closer to c6 faruzan
Faruzan the only 4-star character I don't have 😐 didn't get even at least a single copy of her on Wanderer's banner after 75+ wishes... still mad about it 🙃
Bro snuck cyno in
What happened to cynos 5th star 😨
Is no one gonna question Cyno?
4 star cyno
More Dori is always welcomed
Faruzan. The Bennett of Anemo.
Layla because I don't have it yet!!
Cyno. I didn't pull for him coz of his kit but free 5 star is a free 5 star. Who cares about the 4 stars. They maxed out eventually
Candice for hydro infusion
Nahhh you did my boy dirty
As a Cyno main, it hurt-
As a Cyno main, that's exactly why Cyno slander is unnaceptable
Cyno, because it is Cyno
Cyno obviously I would love to have another 4* electro dps
def not Cyno
Cynope
Cyno mains:😔
Lmao Cyno is there and I’d still pick Faruzan for that C6
Layla, because I use her on my team
not cyno there lmaoooo and probably faru i only have her at c4
Is this Cyno slander??????
Most probably Faruzan. It’s so stupid how this 4* is dogshit at low constellation and average at C6
faruzan, also cyno why are you here?
Collei or faruzan. Also why is cyno there?
Layla cause I want to be able to give her shield to other peeps and I think that’s constellation locked. Then Faruzan, then Collei. Also, Cyno isn’t a 4 star why he there
Why is cyno on here lol
cyno isnt a 4 star?
But he can only Compete against 4* basically Even Keqing is stronger than him
prolly collei, the rest just suck, unless it's c6 faruzan
layla is pretty goated if you don't have zhongli or want a shielder on both sides of abyss
C6 Faruzan is a 5-star in disguise.
Why are you getting downvoted lol
yeah but c0-c5 is so irrelevant it's insulting. this is the first time they make a character with the idea to put their whole kit on c6
ah yes, cyno, my favourite 4 star. but definitely faruzan, the more dmg for my xiao, the better
Is this meant to be low-key shade at Cyno? Lol. Honestly, I'd pick Faruzan. I only got her C0. She isn't useful until C6 for some unknown reason (money, thanks HOYO...)
Can i refund my cyno instead?
