Genshin Impact – Cyno Details
“Many researchers at the Akademiya fear that the General Mahamatra will interfere with their research. However, it seems that they are worrying about nothing. Most of them do not produce results worthy of his visit.”
— A reply given by Forest Watcher Tighnari when Collei asked a question about the General Mahamatra.
His ascension stat is Crit DMG, earning up to 38.4% after his final ascension. He is a 5-star Polearm character. His title is “Judicator of Secrets,” and he is also known as General Mahamatra.
His Birthday is June 23rd, and his Constellation is named “Lupus Aureus.”

Cyno Kit
Normal Attack: Invoker's Spear
Normal Attack
- Performs up to four consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack
- Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to lunge forward, dealing damage to opponents along the way.
Plunging Attack
- Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Elemental Skill: 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.
“This judgment brooks no choice. There is no rejection or acceptance here… We have both long been bound up in this conviction.”
Elemental Burst: Wolf's Swiftness
Calls upon a divine spirit to possess him, morphing into the Pactsworn Pathclearer.
Pactsworn Pathclearer
- Cyno’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Electro DMG that cannot be overriden.
- Cyno’s Elemental Mastery and resistance to interruption will increase, and he gains immunity to Electro-Charged DMG.
This effect will be cancelled when Cyno leaves the field and lasts a maximum of 18s.
“The secret rituals passed down within the ancient nation are as a final judgment to the General Mahamatra. Whether now or in the past, whether great storm or serpent, none shall shake the majesty of the law.”
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 50% of Cyno’s ATK as Electro DMG.
- Duststalker Bolt DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
Authority Over the Nine Bows
- Cyno’s DMG values will be increased based on his Elemental Mastery as follows:
- Pactsworn Pathclearer’s Normal Attack DMG is increased by 100% of his Elemental Mastery.
- Duststalker Bolt DMG from his Ascension Talent Featherfall Judgment is increased by 250% of his Elemental Mastery.

HoYoLAB Introduction: “The law is just, and there is no escape for the guilty”
If an Akademiya researcher is required to have a formal meeting with the General Mahamatra, Cyno, it usually does not bode well.
In general, a personal visit from Cyno implies that these researchers are perpetrators of serious academic offences: plagiarism, bribery, academic fraud, false declarations, misappropriation of funds, malicious competition, appropriation of someone else's dissertations, and more… The only thing left for these researchers to do is to follow the General Mahamatra and face disciplinary action.
But these researchers will not accept their sentence so easily.
Most of them try to bribe the General Mahamatra with Mora. These “wealthy people” will then be punished even more severely. Meanwhile, some choose to use force in an irrational act of recalcitrance… After paying the price for their defiance, they are subjected to a harsher sentence.
Others, at their wits' end, even feign madness, claiming memory loss or pleading insanity in a desperate attempt to escape punishment.
However, General Mahamatra Cyno has unfailing patience when dealing with these people. In his own words:
“As a Matra, it is one of my duties to help people ‘remember' the mistakes they have made.”
Special Dish – Duel Soul
Cyno's special dish is called Duel Soul, obtained by cooking Tahchin with Cyno.
- Effect: Restores 34% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 980 HP every 5s for 30s.
- Description: Cyno’s specialty. The golden grains of rice have been piled up like a most remarkable hill. As you scoop out a chunk and place the fragrant meat into your mouth, an impulse you cannot name rises within your chest — a desire to whip out your Genius Invokation deck and duel!
Outfit – Heart of the Scales
- Description: Cyno’s outfit. This garb displays the General Mahamatra’s dignity and the just principles he sticks by. It was a rather complicated piece to commission due to Cyno’s request for the custom-made head ornaments and requires regular maintenance.
