Cyno’s playstyle in Genshin Impact
While he shares a lot of similarities withRazor, there is one major difference: Razor hits hardest as a Physical DPS. Cyno will prefer to do elemental damage, so plan for him to be theMain DPSinAggravateorHyperbloomteam comps. If you were a fan of Razor’s “Burst then hack away” playstyle, we’ve got good news for you. Cyno will want to be in his Elemental Burst state, Pactsworn Pathclearer, as much as possible and will use it to deal wild damage.
Best weapons for Cyno in Genshin Impact
Cyno will have a five-star weapon designed just for him,Staff of the Scarlet Sands. All jokes aside about the weapon’s looks, it will make Cyno formidable. A CRIT rate sub stat is always nice to have on a weapon, and its Weapon Skill, Heat Haze at Horizon’s End, will incentivize players to build up his Elemental Mastery to boost his reaction damage and attack at the same time.
If you don’t want to pull on the weapon banner, Cyno can make good use of bothKitain Cross SpearorMoonpiercer. Both are four-star craftable weapons, though crafting Kitain Cross Spearmay be easier since you probably have more NorthlanderBilletsready to go.

Best Artifacts for Cyno in Genshin Impact
His best-in-slot Artifacts may not be native to Sumeru. Both theThundering FuryandGilded DreamsArtifact sets will be useful for him. Due to Thundering Fury four-piece effect matching Cyno’s playstyle, it appears to edge out the flat damage boost of the Gilded Dreams set.
When thinking about Main Stats for your artifacts, you may try the traditional Main DPS set up ofCRIT/Elemental Damage %/Attack%. However, you will likely get more value out of anElemental Masterymain stat on yourTimepiece Artifact. Try to findCRIT, Attack, and Elemental Masterysubstats to boost his damage even more.

Other than the standard amounts of Experience Books and Mora, you’ll needVajrada Amethystpieces,Divining Scrolls, Scarabs, andThunderclap Fruitcoresdropped by theElectro Regisvineto ascend Cyno. We recommended raising him all the way to level 90, as he is a main DPS character and should be a focus for your resources. Raising all of his talents will boost his damage, but prioritize his Elemental Burst first, then his Elemental Skill, then his Normal Attack. You’ll need more Mora, Divining Scrolls, Teachings of Admonitions from the Steeple of Ignorance Domain, andMudra of the Malefic General, which is dropped by theRaiden Shogunweekly boss.
