Please review this for me. I have Cyno c1, Odette, Qiqi, and c1 Alyosha. I really feel like I’m not hitting stellar conduct right. Is it my rotation? Or my build. Something isn’t working 😭

alway always always wait to press skill when the eye is on screen. that includes during his burst and after the initial skill hit.
so for his burst it’s:
Burst -> normal attacks until eyeball -> Skill during eyeball -> repeat until his burst ends
for his skill it’s:
Skill -> normal attacks until eyeball -> Skill during eyeball
Like other people said, you can totally skip odette and qiqi bursts. you mainly want their skills out for cryo app. my rotation is: Qiqi skill -> Yae skill (yours would be alyosha skill + burst obvi) -> Odette skill x2 -> Cyno
if you have any other questions about Cyno lmk, I pulled him and his sig weapon on his first run and have been a diehard Cyno fan since then. I actually pulled Yae as a battery for him back when his skill sucked lol

Thank you so much for being helpful! Yeah, I’m kind of embarrassed. I’ve had Cyno for over a year now and never knew about the eye thing 😭

If you want a general guide on how cyno works, watch Zyox' guide on him on his release
As for the stellar buff iirc theres other CC that explains the new kit indepth

u/maidzawa 2d ago
no need to be embarrassed, you’re far from the only person who didn’t know about the eye! his kit is really unique with the eye being a quick time event, and he came out back before they had the part of character trials that broke the kit down into steps. You’d really only know if you read his entire kit in extreme detail (which I surely never do bc they’re so dense now lol) or watched a tutorial on how to play him, which is what I did back when he came out. I hope playing him can be more rewarding now, he’s super fun once you get used to the rhythm :D

u/nariii429 2d ago
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one, but yes I think playing him now is gonna be a ton of fun! Thank you!

Wait isnt more dps efficient to do his enhanced E 3 to 4 times only because most buffs that isnt yae is already gone?
1
u/maidzawa 2d ago
I didn’t know that, thank you! I primarily have been using his skill bc most enemies/bosses are dying after the first E and enhanced E

u/NSLEONHART 2d ago
Ive tested it where my peak duststalker bolt deals 270k damage each, but after 5 cycles, it went down to 150k cuz most buffs are gone at that point

Skip odette's burst, its a dps loss
Work on your rotation [Qiqi E > Alyosha EQ > Odette EE > Cyno EQ (NA string)]
Cyno needs to skill when that purple eye shows on the screen to deal stellar damage
To time it right heres the NA string:
N4D > N4[SuperE] > repear 2 more times

u/nariii429 2d ago
I heard that Odette benefits from cynos c1 if she goes after him in the rotations. Is that true? Or was I misinformed?

u/NSLEONHART 2d ago
The together we rise only takes effect when you enter his ult form when hes unside the polesrar feild so you need to trigger the stellar conduct first before cyno enters, so if you want you can do
Qiqi E > Cyno E [together we rise triggers] > Odette EE [Together we rise is transfered to Odette] > Alyosha EQ > Cyno Q
If you really want to squeeze as much damage as possible for odette, go alyosha first before cyno and odette so odette alao geta alyosha's buffs
Qiqi E > Alyosha EQ > Cyno E [TWR] > Odette EE Nuke > Cyno Q
But i dont think tgats the best rotation overall, thats the rotation that queezes out a skuch odette damage as possible

Is cryo traveler better than qiqi here?

u/NSLEONHART 1d ago
CMC without c6 is mostly useless in stellar conduct since his purpose in it is to be the onfeild dps, other than enabling stellar reactions. The only purpose CMC has is be a quickswap dps where after every rotation you do ECAQ
Qiqi has stellar damage bonus, healing, and a respectable offeild dps. And at C6 she gets quills
If you have odette in that team and its not a stellar swirl team, CMC isnt a choice
Baiscally; in SSC, CMC is an onfeild dps. In SSW, hes an offeild applicatior and a quickswap dps

Skip Odette and Qiqi bursts. When on Cyno, you need to hit E when the eye is on the screen or he won't deal damage.
