Elemental Skill Now Allows Cyno to Enter His E. Burst State

Using his Elemental Skill while in a field created by Stellar-Conduct can put Cyno into his Elemental Burst state, making him easier to use and less Burst-reliant.
Some of Cyno's DMG Are Now Considered Stellar-Conduct DMG
While Cyno himself doesn't trigger the reaction, some of his attacks are considered Stellar-Conduct DMG when performed inside the field. This makes Cyno a viable character as a Stellar-Conduct DPS, but you will still need another character in the team to enable the reaction.
