Cyno is a brand new 5-Star Poalarm character coming to Gensin Impact in update 3.1 This Cyno Best Build Guide explains how to get Cyno’s Ascension Materials and what his best weapons are.
As with new characters, you’ll need the correct ascension materials, Talent books and Artifacts to get the best use out of Cyno. Thankfully with the first part of Sumeru now unlocked for players to explore, you can collect almost all of Cyno’s materials to prepare for his arrival in Genshin Impact.

Cyno’s Ascension Materials mostly come from Sumeru, but the Vajrada Sliver Fragment, Chunk and Gemstone can be acquired from the Electro Hypostasis and the Thunder Manifestations. The Thunderclap Fruitcore can be acquired from the Electro Hypostasis boss battle. There is also a chance they will drop against the Coral Defenders and the Primo Geovishap.

Cyno is an electro DPS who does a lot of damage with a higher Elemental Master but is still better built with Electro damage and Crit Rate and Damage as his main levelling stats.
Cyno Best Weapon
Cyno is a character who benefits from 5-star weapons and his best options, but a couple of 4-star weapons can benefit him just as well. For his 5-star Weapons, Cynos signature polearm Staff of Sacred Sands. Another great choice is the Primordial Jade Winged Spear and the Staff of Homa. When it comes to 4-star weapons, the Deathmatch or the Blackcliff Pole
Cyno 5-Star Weapons
Staff of Sacred Sands
The equipping character gains 52% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. When an Elemental Skill hits opponents, the Dream of the Scarlet Sands effect will be gained for 10s: The equipping character will gain 28% of their Elemental Mastery as bonus ATK. Max 3 stacks.
Primordial Jade Winged Spear
On hit, increases ATK by 3.2% for 6s. Max 7 stacks. This effect can only occur once every 0.3s. While in possession of the maximum possible stacks, DMG dealt is increased by 12%.
Staff of Homa
HP increased by 20%. Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 0.8% of the wielder’s Max HP. When the wielder’s HP is less than 50%, this ATK bonus is increased by an additional 1% of Max HP.
Cyno 4-Star Weapons
Deathmatch
If there are at least 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 16% and DEF is increased by 16%. If there are fewer than 2 opponents nearby, ATK is increased by 24%.
Blackcliff Pole
After defeating an opponent, ATK is increased by 12% for 30s. This effect has a maximum of 3 stacks, and the duration of each stack is independent of the others.
Cyno Best Artifact Stat Priority
When it comes to Cyno’s artefact set, you can choose a few options. With Cyno dishing out so much Electro damage, we recommend a 4-piece Thundering Fury set to maximize his electro damage. Mixed with Dendro, the reactions between Dendro and Electro amplifies Cyno’s damage tremendously. A 4-piece Gladiators Finale is great for a pure ATK% build. A 4-piece Guilded Dreams is another great option for those looking to maximize Cyno’s Elemental Mastery.

Time Piece: ATK% or Elemental Master
Goblet: Electro Damage%
Circuit: Crit Rate/Damage, ATK% or Elemental Mastery
