Best Teams for Cyno
Cyno Works Best as a DPS in Reaction Teams
| Team | Rating Description |
|---|---|
▼Stellar-Conduct Team![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ★★★★★ - Mitya adds Off-Field Electro and Stellar-Conduct damage, and three Electro characters give Electro Resonance, making Cyno's Burst easier to keep up. - Valeriy's shield keeps Cyno from being interrupted, and Odette boosts Stellar-Conduct DMG. |
▼Lunar-Charged Team![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ★★★★☆ - As an Electro DPS who scales on Elemental Mastery, Cyno can take Flins' role in Lunar-Charged. - Ineffa and Columbina activate Ascendant Gleam and buff Lunar-Charged DMG while Cyno deals the bulk of the damage. |
▼Quickbloom Team![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ★★★☆☆ - Lauma greatly boosts Hyperbloom damage with her Dendro RES Shred and EM-based Hyperbloom buff. - Don't bring a second Nod-Krai character, as it removes the CRIT effect from Lauma's passive. |
▼Aggravate Team![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ★★★☆☆ - A hypercarry team focused on buffing Cyno's Aggravate damage. - Nahida buffs Elemental Mastery while Fischl and Sucrose activate Secret Rite for extra buffs. |
As an Elemental Mastery scaling DPS, Cyno works well in teams that heavily scale on EM like Lunar-Charged and Quickbloom, but his new Stellar-Conduct buffs make Stellar-Conduct his best team. Since Version 7.2, Mitya can also join him as an Off-Field Electro Sub-DPS.

Mitya, Valeriy, and Odette Power Up Cyno's Stellar-Conduct
Mitya taps his Skill to deal Off-Field Electro and Stellar-Conduct damage next to Cyno, while Odette supplies the Cryo for Stellar-Conduct and boosts Stellar Glimmer damage. With three Electro characters, the team gets Electro Resonance, which makes it easier to keep Cyno's Burst ready.
Valeriy's shield keeps Cyno from being interrupted during his Burst, and his Noblesse Oblige buffs the team's ATK. Odette holds Heart of the Furnace, so its Stellar Glimmer damage buff covers the whole team.
Rotation Of Stellar-Conduct Team
| No. | Procedure |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start with Mitya and tap his Skill to create a Steady State Detection Core. |
| 2 | Switch to Odette and use her Skill twice. |

Mitya | Yae Miko Fischl | - Yae Miko is the strongest replacement and keeps the team at Triple Electro. - Fischl is an accessible option for Off-Field Electro application and Energy. |
Odette | Cryo Traveler Diona Qiqi | - Cryo Traveler is the only other Off-Field Stellar-Conduct enabler, but can't apply Cryo reliably and works best as a Quickswap DPS using their Burst. - Diona and Qiqi keep Cryo application going and were buffed for Stellar-Conduct, but deal less damage than Odette. - Diona requires her C6 to be a good replacement. |
Valeriy | Qiqi Nicole Alyosha Xilonen | - Qiqi heals and adds Stellar Glimmer buffs and a second Cryo source, but the team loses Electro Resonance. - Nicole shields Cyno and buffs the team's ATK with Noblesse Oblige. - Alyosha keeps the team at Triple Electro and buffs ATK and Stellar-Conduct DMG, but has no shield. - Xilonen shreds Cryo and Electro RES and heals the team. |
