Cyno Artifacts Desc
For Cyno, the best artifact set as a main DPS is the 4-piece Thundering Fury. This set gives an Electro damage bonus and increases overall damage based on Electro reactions. It also reduces the cooldown of his Elemental Skill by 1 second.
You can also consider alternatives like the 4-piece Gladiator’s Finale or the 4-piece Gilded Dreams. Additionally, you could use the 4-piece Thundersoother, depending on your needs. Another option is to mix 2 pieces of Gladiator’s Finale and 2 pieces of Thundering Fury, which will give you +18% ATK and an Electro damage bonus.
Cyno Weapons Desc
Cyno’s best weapon is his signature weapon, the Staff of the Scarlet Sands. This weapon provides a high base ATK and increases CRIT rate. It also converts some of the character’s Elemental Mastery into ATK and gives an extra bonus to ATK.
His second-best weapon is the Primordial Jade Winged-Spear, which offers base ATK and CRIT rate, and increases ATK for 6 seconds up to 7 times. Another excellent option is the Staff of Homa, but you should choose your weapon based on your specific needs.
In the 4-star category, a good choice is the Deathmatch, which is a solid overall option. If you’re looking for a free-to-play option, the 3-star weapon White Tassel is also viable.

Cyno Overview
Cyno is a 5-star Electro character in Genshin Impact who uses a polearm weapon for attacks. He is a hyper carry character, and his main source of damage comes from his Elemental Burst, called Sacred Rite: Wolf’s Swiftness. This ability helps him use Pactsworn Pathclearer, which turns Cyno’s normal, charged, and plunging attacks into Electro damage, dealing heavy damage to enemies.
During the duration of his Burst, using his Elemental Skill, Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer, along with normal attacks, increases his damage percentage and extends the duration of his abilities. A great feature of his Burst is that it provides a significant boost to Elemental Mastery and some resistance to interruptions.
His passive talent, Authority Over the Nine Bows, increases his damage based on his Elemental Mastery.
