Want to know about the Genshin Impact Cyno banner? One of the newly announced upcoming Genshin Impact characters, Cyno hails from Sumeru and is an Electro polearm user and five-star character. Dendro pairs extremely well with Electro, so there’s a good chance Cyno could earn a high rank on our Genshin Impact tier list.
Hoyoverse announced Cyno in a tweet, alongside Nilou and Candace, but there’s not much we know about him apart from his official title is Judicator of Secrets and General Mahamatra. Thanks to a leak from Honey Hunter, we do have a good idea of what Cyno’s abilities are, although these could change on release.
Genshin Impact Cyno banner release date
Although there’s no official Genshin Impact Cyno release date, he could be arriving in the 3.1 update as the newest Sumeru characters Tighnari, Collei, and Dori all have banners in the current 3.0 update. Genshin Impact updates now work on a monthly five week schedule, so we could see Cyno as soon as the end of September.
