✦✦Cyno Build Guide!✦✦

> Points to consider before building :

• General Mahamatra Cyno is a electro polearm character who dishes out high damage in his elemental burst. During his burst, his Elemental skill deals more damage if timed right and has shorter cooldowns.
• He is highly F2P friendly and easy to build. In fact one of his BiS weapons is a 3 Star!!
• He is intended to be a Burst-DPS role unit, and hence provides the most value when played in that role.
• If you have two dendro units in your team besides Cyno, You get "Dendro Resonance" - which increases all party member's elemental mastery by 50. and upto 100 EM based as many dendro reactions that you can create.
• He requires EM%/ATK% and Energy Recharge(ER) to utilise his kit to the fullest. So try to balance these stats while managing Crit rate/Damage, when farming for artifacts.
• Artifact Priority : Sands - EM% or ATK% | Goblet - Electro Dmg Bonus | Circlet - Crit Rate/Dmg
• Playstyle : E > Q > NA spam > (E when prompted) > Repeat

✦✦Ascencion Meterials✦✦

• 1 x Amethyst Silver | 9 x Amethyst Fragments and Chunks | 6 x Amethyst Gemstones
• 46 x Thunderclap Fruitcore [obtained from Electro Regisvine]
• 165 x Scarab(s)
• 18 x Divining Scroll | 30 x Sealed Scroll | 36 x Cursed Scroll

✦✦Artifacts✦✦

Emblem of Severed Fate also works but is not intended.

• Gilded Dreams : Bis Artifact set in most scenarios. increases his solo dmg output as well as increases dmg in Aggrevate / Hyperbloom and Quickbloom teams.

• Thundering Fury : Great set in Aggrevate and Hyperbloom teams, but looses value if Cyno is played in a non-dendro team. Alternatively Thundersooter also works, but only in teams where the quicken/electro-charged aura doesn't dissappear from the enemy.

• Gladiator's Finale : Using this set allows you to put a EM/Electro dmg goblet as this set provides +18 Atk.

✦✦Weapons✦✦

Give EM-substat based weapons if you dont have any of the following.

• Staff of Scarlet Sands : His BiS weapon. you can never go wrong with this, If you have it, equip it on Cyno.

• Primordial Jade Spear : This weapon gives a lot of Crit rate and gradually increases dmg in Longer fights.

• Skyward Spine : This weapon is included here as its availible in the Standard banner and most people with have it. However all other 5 star weapons and even some 3 star weapons can outperform it.

• Missive Windspear(r5) : It was obtainable from the Limited Event "Of Ballads and Brews" in version 3.1. As such many people will have it at R5. It is one of the best 4 star options on the list and at Refinement rank 5 its damage becomes comparable with the Jade Spear.

• Deathmatch : It is availible in the battle pass and gets stronger with refinements, it is a solid option for Cyno as it offers a respectable damage boost when there are 1 or more targets around.

• White Tassel(r5) : A 3 star weapon that works wonders on Cyno. It has low base atk which cyno doesn't need anyway as he scales on EM. It provides Crit rate and normal atk dmg boost which are both useful for Cyno. Being able to utilise a 3 star weapon and still giving high damage per screenshot, only shows how f2p friendly Cyno is.

• Any EM Based Weapon : If you have none of the above, you can give Cyno any EM substat weapon. This includes kitain cross spear, Moonpiercer, Dragon's Bane etc.

✦✦Team Comps✦✦

Classic Cyno Aggrevate Team : You can Swap Zhongli for Kazuha / Baizhu

Classic Cyno Hyperbloom Team : Furina is not necessary here but totally viable

Cyno Hypercarry : Here Fischl is a Battery and uses 4pc Tenacity to boost dmg.

Cyno Hypercarry - furina variation. Yaoyao can be swapped with Baizhu. Mika is Flex

Disclaimer : these are marely examples, a logical team can only be determined by the support's builds, artifacts, weapons, and team rotation stratagy. play around with multiple team and see what fits you the most!!!
