Overview
Cyno's burst activates Pactsworn Pathclearer, converting normal attacks into Electro-infused combos. He gains EM from ascension and wants Quicken/Aggravate reactions with Nahida. Long on-field time means he needs a dedicated battery and healer.
How to Play
Apply Nahida's Dendro marks, cast Cyno burst, then spam normal attack combos during Pathclearer. Use skill during burst for additional Electro damage and interruption resistance. Stay on-field for the full burst duration, typically 10-18 seconds.
Optimal Rotation
Nahida Skill (hold), Fischl Skill, Kazuha Swirl, Cyno Skill, Cyno Burst, Cyno NA combo until burst ends, recharge energy, repeat. Apply Nahida marks before every Cyno burst window.
F2P Options
The Catch R5 or Kitain Cross Spear work well. Gilded Dreams 4pc is farmable in Sumeru. C0 Cyno needs Nahida to compete, without Nahida, his damage drops significantly.
Common Mistakes
Running Cyno without Nahida or another strong Dendro applier. Swapping off-field during Pathclearer wastes burst duration. Building pure CRIT without EM loses Aggravate damage. Not running enough ER, Cyno needs 130-150% ER minimum.
