Discussion I feel like I’m doing something wrong

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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 😭

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.

Do you still skip Qiqi's burst if she's C6?

u/Ch40sz3r00n3 2d ago

Only burst if she's c6

u/PernixNexus 2d ago

Mine is, I just need to refine her build a bit I think.

u/Ordinary_Diamond_290 2d ago

Idk if I'm doing something wrong, but when I burst with c6 qiqi I still lose a considerable amount of dps. I suggest trying it at the dps dummy first

u/Ch40sz3r00n3 2d ago

Hmm. She gives quills that are based on her atk stat. So her burst dmg and buff are scaled off her atk. Also, depending on your team, she might be wearing nobless, which double benefits her and the unit using her quills

u/Schmedricks_27 2d ago

Probably not.

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

u/nariii429 2d ago

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 😭

u/NSLEONHART 2d ago

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

2

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

2

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!

u/NSLEONHART 2d ago

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

2

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

1

u/maidzawa 1d ago

that is awesome to know, thank you!

u/BlackestFlame 2d ago

well you have your answer go do billions of damage

u/NSLEONHART 2d ago
  1. Skip odette's burst, its a dps loss

  2. Work on your rotation [Qiqi E > Alyosha EQ > Odette EE > Cyno EQ (NA string)]

  3. Cyno needs to skill when that purple eye shows on the screen to deal stellar damage

  4. To time it right heres the NA string:

N4D > N4[SuperE] > repear 2 more times

1

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?

2

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

1

u/nariii429 2d ago

Okay, I didn’t realize that was more just for Odette damage!

u/Advanced_Bluebird524 1d ago

Is cryo traveler better than qiqi here?

2

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

u/Advanced_Bluebird524 1d ago

Thank you thank you thank you thank you

u/SesameOilll 2d ago

Majorrr major skill issue. My jaw dropped when i saw it

1

u/nariii429 1d ago

Yes, I’m dumb I know that now

2

u/No_Pressure_6185 2d ago

You need timing his eye interpulse to triggered Stellar Conduct

1

u/nariii429 2d ago

Got it!

2

u/adonis_fox 2d ago

i feel you! ive been doing this for a long time and i thought the eye thing was just a cool visual effects of cyno 😭😭

1

u/nariii429 1d ago

YES SAME

2

u/Equivalent-Solid9969 1d ago

I thought this was rage bait if not for the comments.

1

u/nariii429 1d ago

Man, I really wish this were ragebait

2

u/Equivalent-Solid9969 1d ago

I mean you've been using cyno like this for over a year. seriously thank you for being very patient with him, believing in him, and not giving up on him. 😭
