Cynthia: skills, upgrades and Might

Cynthia is a UR ranger who plays as DPS. Fully upgraded, she reaches 916,153 Might, rank 3 of 16 among the game's DPS heroes. Unlocking her takes 10 shards ( Cynthia Shard), and the shards become available once the Ranger Statue reaches level 20. Cynthia does not appear in the hero list until server day 7.

Awakening and the Exclusive Weapon follow their own schedules, unrelated to when the hero appears. The awakening tab appears on day 15 of the season: it opens for the fifteen UR heroes one at a time, one every two weeks, with the last tab on day 197. The Exclusive Weapon becomes available on day 148 of the season.

Why she matters

Role: A ranger DPS who spreads her damage across several targets at once and lives on critical hits. Lunar Hunt seizes three random targets for 1,800% of ATK each, while the ultimate Moonfall Dance covers an area for 2,976% and raises her critical hit chance, which the passive Moon's Blessing raises again.

Worth investing: Cynthia ranks third of sixteen DPS heroes by maximum Might (916,153) and sits in tier A. She opens up as early as server day 7, and her 99 guaranteed free shards are more than any UR hero except Marlena, which makes her the realistic second UR for a player who buys nothing. She is worth levelling as soon as she is obtained.

Progression

Hero levels

The hero has 150 levels, and reaching the last one costs Antitoxin 5,248,471,500. The table shows the stats at reference levels:

Stars

Reaching 50 stars takes 975 shards ( Cynthia Shard). Besides stats, stars unlock stronger versions of the skills, which makes them matter more than levels:

Skill levels

Every skill goes up to level 40 with Skill Badge: one skill costs 436,700 of them. The higher the level, the more hero stars it requires:

Awakening

40 levels, 2,870 awakening shards in total ( Cynthia Awaken Shard). At max it adds:

• HP +1,490,016, ATK +11,571, DEF +18,952
• DMG RES +5%

Exclusive Weapon

“Moon Blade”, upgraded to 50 stars. At max it adds:

• HP +1,251,000, ATK +8,750, DEF +8,750
• Hero DEF +10%
• Hero HP +10%
• Hero ATK +10%
• Hero Energy DMG Taken +10%
• Hero Physical DMG Taken +10%
• Hero DMG Dealt +10%

How to play

Cynthia strikes more often rather than harder. Her ultimate Moonfall Dance gives 2,976% of ATK, the smallest figure among UR DPS heroes: Joker reaches 5,047.5%, Red Lady 4,550.4% and Zoya 3,669.6%. Lunar Hunt, however, seizes three targets for 1,800% each every 5 seconds, and Cynthia raises her critical chance twice, by 16% with the ultimate and by 24% with the passive skill.

She opens up on server day 7, earlier than any other UR DPS hero, and her Awakening tab arrives on season day 15, the second one after Marlena. Her guaranteed free shards number 99, more than any UR hero except Marlena, and she stands in the guarantee of the third recruit pool.

Awakening costs the most. For 2,870 shards it gives 1,490,016 HP and 18,952 DEF, more than the 1,113,223 from 150 levels and nearly five times more than the 318,010 from all 975 shards spent on stars. For Zoya and Joker the same system adds only 425,119 HP.

In a tier A squad Cynthia stands with Arthur, Harper, Louis and Red Lady for 123.7M effective HP and 87 out of 100. She is a ranger, so a five with Shadow, Louis, Red Lady and Bell earns her the +20% bonus to stats, the largest squad multiplier in the game.

Synergy

• Faction bonus +10% to HP, ATK and DEF: 3 warriors + 2 rangers.
• Incoming damage reduced by 75% for the squad: Arthur 32%, Harper 16%, Louis 29%. The sum hits the model's 75% cap.
• Shields and healing add 12.8M survivability: Arthur, Daskal.
• Roles: 3 tanks + 1 damage hero + 1 support.

Key skills

• Arthur, Earthshattering (every 7s): −35% damage taken by the squad for 5s
• Arthur, Strong Will (passive): −9% damage taken by tanks
• Daskal, Bloodshed Defense (every 6.4s): 792% DEF shield
• Daskal, Resolute Fight (passive): 22.5% HP shield
• Harper, Vitality Bubble (every 5s): −20% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Louis, Force Link (every 5s): −36% damage taken by the squad for 4s
• Louis, Shackles (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Daskal, Battle Will (auto attack): 996% ATK damage
• Cynthia, Moon Blade (auto attack): 747% ATK damage

Why this is the best combination available

• Arthur's main contribution: 32% squad damage reduction, 8.4M of shields per fight. The best substitute among your heroes, Billy, does not match it: without Arthur the squad's result drops by 41%.
• Harper's main contribution: 16% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Ulfrid, does not match it: without Harper the squad's result drops by 10%.
• Louis's main contribution: 29% squad damage reduction. The best substitute among your heroes, Billy, does not match it: without Louis the squad's result drops by 9%.

When to use it

• The best squad on the "Effectiveness" tab differs by the swap Cynthia, Daskal, Harper, Louis → Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 11% more effectiveness but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when effectiveness is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Survivability" tab differs by the swap Cynthia → Marlena: it gains 4% more survivability but loses 0% effectiveness. Trade only when survivability is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max damage" tab differs by the swap Cynthia, Arthur, Daskal, Harper, Louis → Red Lady, Billy, Ulfrid, Annie, Joker: it gains 40% more damage per second but loses 64% effectiveness. Trade only when damage per second is what matters.
• The best squad on the "Max power" tab differs by the swap Cynthia, Harper → Shadow, Ulfrid: it gains 5% more power but loses 24% effectiveness. Trade only when power is what matters. Power is a storefront sum that ignores synergy; it decides less in a real fight.

How this is calculated

Stats are taken at full investment (level and star template, personal growth ratio, awakening and exclusive gear). Over a 30-second fight every skill casts on its cooldown, the first cast at its initial delay. Survivability = (HP + shields + healing) / (1 − damage reduction, capped at 75%). Defense and troops are computed server-side and are outside the model. Index 100 = the best squad built from all heroes in the game.
