A tier (Always welcome)

Sweetness Overload raises the damage its targets take by 10% for 40 seconds with no attribute requirement attached, which means she improves literally every team in the game. Crescent Compassion then leaves a boomerang that keeps pulling enemies together after she has swapped out, and no other character groups at all. Sweetness fills at 6 per second without her doing anything. Against a single boss the grouping is dead weight and she is reduced to a plain 10% debuff, which is still worth a slot.

About Cynthia II

"A few older noble relatives still have to call me their auntie! Detective, want to join them?" The rising crescent symbolizes the future of the Royal Families and the City. The much-loved scion of House Luna, an innocent young aristocrat and the Detective's landlady, Cynthia is a naughty prankster whose acts of mischief are mostly harmless. After all, noble acuity and insight flow naturally within her veins. Her bread kitty toys are her most loyal entourage, and any miscreants seeking to harm the scion shall face their most unforgiving acts of sanction. Shown in the Monotype closed beta as an Alba Witness support with crowd-control utility.

In the Dichotomy Beta story, Cynthia II is the Detective's landlady as well as a client. So highborn that even Superintendent Rex must bow to her, she is a sheltered girl who has never spoken to a commoner, chaperoned everywhere by her governess Moira. Her case begins as a search for three missing cats and turns darker: a framed werewolf family and the collapsing Crescent Guild of Baron Barton.

Over the night Cynthia learns that Moira's distrust of commoners and a werewolf girl's hatred of nobles are both wrong, and she chooses kindness, spending her month's allowance on werewolf stabilizers for the girl she rescues. It emerges that she owns the whole of Morgue Street through a trustee, and she waives the Detective's rent forever on one condition: that he always makes time to play with her. Read the full quest in the Silver Palace story recap.

In-game profile

A young descendant of House Luna, spoiled by affection, yet unexpectedly honest and warm-hearted.

Her pampered noble persona belies the tender, sensitive character beneath it. She is every bit as playful, clever, and kind (if naive) as most girls her age, yet she carries a quiet loneliness, yearning for friendship and closeness with others.

How to play Cynthia II

The roster's main grouping unit, which makes her the best answer to packed AoE content. Sweetness builds on its own, and her Ultimate leaves a boomerang that keeps pulling enemies together after she leaves the field.

Difficulty: lowField time: quick swapResource loop: Sweetness into Sweetness Overload
  1. 1

    Swap in once Sweetness has filled

    It accumulates passively

  2. 2

    Hold Skill to a full charge for Sweet Slingshot

    The higher charge level applies Sweetness Overload, the increased-damage-taken debuff

  3. 3

    Press Ultimate for Crescent Compassion

    The boomerang pulls enemies in and remains on the field after she leaves

  4. 4

    Swap to your carry immediately

    The grouping is still running, so the carry hits the whole pack at once

Best Implements for Cynthia II

Implement stats are fixed rather than rolled, so a set is a decision you make once. The short answer is Queen's Divine Right. See the equipment guide for how the four slots and the Epiphany fit together.

4 piecesUltimate Charge Efficiency +15%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 15%. When the character's Amplitude Multiplier exceeds 150%, all other team members gain 18% Amplitude Multiplier.

Why Cynthia II: She is a quick swap unit whose entire contribution is the Ultimate that leaves the boomerang, so Ultimate Charge Efficiency is her most valuable stat. The team-wide Amplitude Multiplier then feeds the Alba resonance she generates on her own.

Retainer's Code

Alternative
4 piecesHP % +12%

Increases the holder's HP by 12%. When the character's Ultimate Charge Efficiency exceeds 150%, all other team members gain 6% DMG.

Why Cynthia II: Her damage-taken debuff is universal, and so is this set's team DMG payoff, which stacks with it on any composition.

Best Epiphany for Cynthia II

One Epiphany per character, and the effect never changes: duplicates raise the substats and leave the effect text alone. The short answer is The Barber of Meadow. See the equipment guide for where the slot sits, or all 30 Epiphanies.

The Barber of Meadow, a Lv.60 Epiphany in Silver Palace
Lv. 60HP % +24%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 20%. When they deal DMG while outside the battlefield, all characters on the team gain 1 stack of Aria. Each stack of Aria increases DMG by 2% for 40s, stacking up to 5 times.

Why Cynthia II: The clause pays for damage dealt while off the field, and her Ultimate leaves a boomerang that keeps pulling and hitting after she swaps out. Aria stacks to 10% team DMG from the bench, which almost nothing else on the roster can do.

The Red Shoes

Alternative
The Red Shoes, a Lv.60 Epiphany in Silver Palace
Lv. 60Ultimate Charge Efficiency +30%

Increases the holder's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 20%. When they deal Ultimate DMG, all characters on the team gain 1 stack of Sanguine Step. Each stack of Sanguine Step increases CRIT DMG by 14% for 40s, stacking up to 3 times.

Why Cynthia II: The straightforward alternative: 42% team CRIT DMG off her Ultimate, for when the team is a crit carry and the grouping is the only reason she is there.

What to skip: Ignore the four same-attribute team buffs. Frustrations of Youth, The Metamorphosis, The Hero's Shoulder and The Price of Safe Passage all restrict their payout to teammates sharing the holder's Reactor Attribute, and Alba has no carry, so on her they buff nobody.

Psyches

Rising Crescent

Sweetness Overload increases enemies' DMG taken by 7.5%.

To the Moonlit Court

Increases Cynthia's Ultimate Charge Efficiency by 30%. After unleashing a Lv. 2 Charged Skill, her Ultimate duration is increased to 8s, and she continuously inflicts Sweetness Overload on all enemies hit.

The Captured Moon

After Cynthia uses her Ultimate, she increases the ATK of all characters on the team by 20% for 40s.

Lone Lunar Shadow

Increases Cynthia's Ultimate DMG by 50%.

Moon Freed From Mortal Dust

After Cynthia uses her Tactical Assault, all characters on the team deal 15% increased All-Attribute DMG for 40s.

Moonbound Howl

During her Charged Attacks, Cynthia takes 50% less DMG and cannot be interrupted by enemy attacks. Her Charged Attacks deal an additional 100% Alba DMG to enemies with Sweetness Overload, pulling nearby enemies together.

Team Synergies

Enemy grouping and a universal damage-taken debuff

Strengths

  • The only real grouping tool on the roster
  • The damage-taken debuff is universal, so she fits any team
  • Her Passive intercepts incoming damage for her on a short cooldown
  • Generates Alba resonance on her own while doing her support job

Weaknesses

  • Grouping is worth far less in single-target fights
  • No Alba carry exists to receive her attribute contribution

Best partners

"Cinderella"

The best AoE carry paired with the best grouping unit. Enemies are held together exactly while the Quenched window is live.

Gucia

The two Alba units together build Alba resonance without either being a dedicated carry.

Pro Tip: Check the team building guide for how the four slots, attribute sharing, and the Power budget fit together.
