Cyno also has the following options:
- Primordial Jade Wedge-Spear (five-star polearm) – increases Critical Hit Rate, increases Attack and damage on consecutive hits.
- Skyward Spine (five-star polearm) – increases Energy Recharge, increases attack speed, and triggers damage effects.
- Deathmatch (four-star polearm) – increases Critical Hit Rate, and increases Attack.
- Blackcliff Pole (four-star polearm) – increases Critical Damage, and increases Attack after defeating enemies.
- White Tassel (three-star polearm) – increases Critical Hit Rate, increases damage from standard attacks. It’s also easy to find and a good free-to-play option if you refine it up all the way to level 5.
Best artifacts for Cyno in Genshin Impact
Cyno has many options, though there’s no one right way to wear it all.
To charge his abilities, he needs to have a lot more energy. His Elemental Mastery is crucial to his strength.
Both Thundering Fury This increases Electro damage and Electro reaction damage. Gilded Dreams If you prefer a style that is primarily based on your reactions, then the increases in Elemental Mastery or Attack or Elemental Mastersy are almost equal.
These should be your first choice, especially if you are a smoker. Scarlet Sands Staff available.
Alternatively, Gladiator’s Finale This is an option that increases Attack and Standard Damage.
Here’s how Cyno would like it to look:
- Plume: Attack (main stat), Critical hit rate, Critical damage, Elemental mastery, Energy recharge, Attack% (substats).
- Flower: HP, Critical Hit Rate and Critical Damage. Elemental Mastery. Energy Recharge. Attack%.
- Sands: Elemental mastery (reaction build), or attack% (standard damage built). (main stat), critical hit rate, critical damage, Elemental mastery, energy recharge, attack% (sub stats).
- Goblet: Electro damage% (main stat), Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, Attack% (sub stats).
- CircletCritical Damage (main stat), Critic Hit Rate, Critical Damage and Elemental Mastery are all sub stats.
Best teams for Cyno in Genshin Impact
Cyno will spend most of his time out on the field so it is important to surround him with strong support figures.
He is a high-energy user and requires characters who can create lots of particles to support him.
- Cyno (Main DPS), Fischl (Sub DPS), Collei (Sub DPS), Kokomi (Support).
Fischl provides all the particles Cyno needs, and provides steady support to work with Collei’s Dendro effects.
Fischl might be replaced or Yae Miko could replace him, and Collei by the Dendro Traveler. Kokomi can be replaced Barbara.
- Cyno (Main DPS), Collei (Sub DPS), Kuki Shinobu (Support), Zhongli (Support).
The Hydro component is replaced by this, which retains two Electro characters as well one Dendro.
Zhongli provides strong shields to complement Shinobu’s healing effects.
Kazuha, or Sucrose, could be Zhongli’s replacement, because they have lower resistances.
