Here's the skills overview of Cyran in AFK Journey:

Gravitic Requiem (Ultimate Skill): Cyran summons a Black Hole on the selected tile, lasting a certain duration. The Black Hole pulls enemies toward its center, dealing damage every second. Enemies closer to the center experience a strong pull. Non-boss units caught in the Black Hole will die instantly after losing a certain amount of HP.

Arcane Barrage (Skill 1): Cyran deals AoE damage, casting multiple magic orbs to the area with most enemies.

Cursed Grasp (Skill 2): Cyran lifts the nearest enemy into the air with his magic, imprisoning them briefly. After that, he throws the imprisoned unit toward the area with most enemies, dealing AoE damage.

Mystic Collection (Exclusive Skill): Cyran casts the following Artifact Spells subsequently at the battle’s start:

• Enlightening Spell: He gains Haste briefly, becoming unaffected during the period.
• Confining Spell: He deals damage to and imprisons the rearmost enemy, refraining it from acting or moving.
• Starshard Spell: Cyran deals true damage to enemies and reduces their ATK SPD, conjuring a dark flame across the battlefield.

After upgrading the Exclusive Skill to a certain level, Cyran in AFK Journey can silence the opponent Merlin, briefly. The opposing Merlin won’t be able to use her Artifact Spells when silenced.

The best players can use Cyran in AFK Journey are AFK Stages and PvP game mode. His black hole’s ability to execute non-boss enemies can end battles in AFK Stages quickly. Additionally, his ability to silence the opponent’s Artifact Spells using Exclusive Skill will prove super effective in the PvP game mode.

Players can use AFK Journey’s Cyran with the following heroes:

• Eironn: Wilder faction and Rouge class
• Lorsan: Wilder faction and Support class
• Carolina: Graveborn faction and Mage class
• Ulmus: Wilder faction and Tank class

Eironn’s Ultimate Skill, Elemental Realm, can pull enemies to the center, immobilizing them and dealing damage. His skill paired with Ulmus’s Exclusive Skill, Prowling Roots, can gather enemies in one place. Then, Carolina can sweep in, applying continuous control over enemies and dealing damage with her skills.

After that, Cyran can focus his damage on and control clustered enemies by summoning a black hole. The enemies will have no chance to stand after they reach a certain threshold, thanks to the black hole’s ability to execute low-HP enemies.
