Cyno is the ferocious General Mahamatra, leading the Matra into battle and keeping away the devious Akademiya researchers. Don’t underestimate Cyno because of his size. This general has a disarming presence and is incredibly powerful in battle. Wielding a Polearm, Cyno is the latest 5-star Electro character and will be a great asset to your Dendro-based teams.

How to unlock Cyno in Genshin Impact

Cyno will be obtainable on the Character Event Wish banner as a featured 5-star character in the first half of Version 3.1. Following this initial banner, Cyno won’t be able to be summoned to your account, so you’ll have to wait until she gets another featured Character Event Wish banner.

Attacks

  • Normal Attack: Performs up to 4 consecutive spear strikes.

  • Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill

  • Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer: Performs a swift thrust, dealing Electro DMG to opponents along the path. When Cyno is under the Pactsworn Pathclearer state triggered by Sacred Rite: Wolf’s Swiftness, he will instead unleash a Mortuary Rite that deals thunderous AoE Electro DMG and extends the duration of Pactsworn Pathclearer.

Elemental Burst

  • Sacred Rite: Wolf’s Swiftness: Calls upon a divine spirit to indwell him, morphing into the Pactsworn Pathclearer.
    • Pactsworn Pathclearer: Cyno’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Electro DMG that cannot be overridden. Cyno’s Elemental Mastery and resistance to interruption will increase, and he gains immunity to Electro-Charged DMG.
  • This effect will be canceled when Cyno leaves the field and lasts a maximum of 18s.

Passive Talents

  • The Gift of Silence: Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Sumeru Expedition for 20 hours.
  • Featherfall Judgment: When Cyno is in the Pactsworn Pathclearer state activated by Sacred Rite: Wolf’s Swiftness, Cyno will enter the Endseer stance at intervals. If he activates Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer while affected by this stance, he will activate the Judication effect, increasing the DMG of this Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer by 35%, and firing off 3 Duststalker Bolts that deal 100% of Cyno’s ATK as Electro DMG. Duststalker Bolt DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Constellations
