Hey guys, today let's talk about the new character Cyno in Genshin Impact, I'll be showcasing Cyno's personal damage and I'll also tell you what's great and not so great about him.

First of all, let's take a look at his personal damage, I'll be using a 3-star weapon White Tassel, it's probably one of his best F2P options, since it offers Critical Rate from substat and increases his burst damage from the passive, while the Artifact set is going to be Gilded Dreams but keep in mind the artifacts stats are pretty average. So the main way how you deal damage with Cyno is with his burst mode, he will do a cool transition, put on a mask and gain new Normal Attacks.

Now as you can see, just by himself alone, each hit is nothing too amazing, and if I do string of combos with his 5th Normal Attack and using his special skill, the total damage is about 300,000 over 18 seconds, which obviously it's not bad. Now going in with a team of supports, Kazuha's Elemental damage boost will be applied, while Dendro Traveler up keeps the Quicken aura. And with this, I was able to achieve around 600,000 damage, but I did miss one of the skill timings. Overall, I would say this number could be a little higher with more optimized attack combos.

However here's where the first big problem comes up. First of all, there is no Xingqiu of Dendro in the game just yet, so if the enemy steps away from Traveler's burst, even with the generous refresh mechanic of Quicken aura, it will also disappear during Cyno's burst.

The other big thing to understand here is that VV Shred does not get applied when Anemo unit is off-field, which means it will just last for 10 seconds or basically it will remain half of Cyno's burst duration, assuming it's 18 seconds.

On the bright side, Cyno here has 126% ER, and when he was by himself, he could regain about half of his burst all thanks to the fact he gains particles from his skill, which only generates 1 particle but it can be done up to 5 times in his burst mode, although because I am testing this on the new world boss, it's possible I was gaining its particles as well.
Also, when using Fischl to see his Aggravate damage numbers, Oz wasn't actually deployed, so it was only Electro Resonance doing the work and Cyno was almost able to refill his whole burst with just 126% ER, I suspect the new boss was feeding him the particles but this feels kinda nice regardless.

Finally, now Cyno's elemental skill outside the burst won't deal much damage, and it has a 7.5 second cooldown. Although it has no ICD, which means it can always Aggravate but it's most important function is to generate three particles. However, once you activate his burst, the elemental skill will have a much shorter three second cooldown, but it will only generate one particle, and using it will extend the burst duration by up to 8 seconds, or basically you just won't need to pay attention to this because he will always have an 18 second burst duration after using the skill two times.

Let's talk about the Eye that appears on the screen, this is his first passive called Featherfall Judgement, and while it doesn't say this in the description, the Eye seems to appear every 4 seconds after starting his burst and if you land the skill when eye is visible, he will unleash a more powerful version of it, that will also create additional bolts of damage. You really should use the skills when the Eye appears because it will deal about 2 or even 3 times more damage than the skill.

Overall his personal damage feels just about right, it's great to see White Tassel putting in the work, Gilded Dreams seems to be like a really good set on him but as you already noticed, there are some nuances that need to be addressed about his playstyle.
