Player Mistakes
Back to All Characters
Cyno’s team comp inGenshin Impactalways has to include either a shielder or a healer, preferably those with a long duration. This is because after entering the field with his ultimate, Cyno has to stay as the active character for a whopping 18s. Without sufficient protection, it’s easy for enemies to deal some deadly blows, killing the character.

There are a few options players can choose for Cyno’s team comp inGenshin Impact. Characters likeZhongli,Beidou,Dori, andKuki Shinobuare all great options to pair withCyno. As for the rest of the party, here are some choices players can pick for the best Cyno team compositions inGenshin Impact.
Updated Jul 12, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah:One of the major issues that players face when building Cyno teams in Genshin Impact is the lack of Dendro characters who can support Cyno throughout the whopping 18 seconds of his Burst duration. However, with the continuous updates, more content is being released that may help Cyno, as seen in some previous versions. Yaoyao has made her way into the scene with a solid Dendro application that lingers long enough to support Cyno.
Cyno + Yaoyao + Xingqiu + Sucrose
CynoandYaoyaoform a good duo since she can help him keep triggering Aggravate in his Burst state while also healing him. On the other hand,Xingqiu creates an off-field duo with Yaoyaoto keep triggering Dendro cores as long as Cyno is using his Normal attacks. In this team composition, Cyno’s reliance on Elemental Mastery plays a big role since it enhances all three reactions he can trigger: Aggravate, Electro-charged, and Hyperbloom.
Debuffs are also important in Cyno team comps to amplify the team’s DMG. Players can achieve this by equipping Yaoyao with 4 pieces of Deepwood Memories and Sucrose with 4 pieces of Viridescent Venerer, allowing them to shred enemies' Dendro and Electro resistance respectively. Of course, Xingqiu can be replaced with units like Yelan, while Sucrose can be swapped out for characters like Kazuha.
Team Roles
Cyno + Yaoyao + Dendro MC + Ayato
As a selfish Main DPS, Cyno team comps heavily rely on off-field units that pave the way for him to execute the team’s strategy. To create a Cyno Hyperbloom team, characters like Yaoyao and the Dendro Traveler are needed to keep the Dendro application active while other units are taking the field.Kamisato Ayatocan operate as a Sub-DPS to cover Cyno’s downtime, and his Burst is super useful in creating Dendro Cores alongside buffing Cyno’s Normal attacks.
Finally, Cyno’s Elemental Burst takes place, and he will then trigger all the Cores into Hyperblooms. This strategy can deal massive DMG as long as the Dendro and Hydro fields are re-applying more Cores for Cyno to Hyperbloom. Of course, with such a team composition, Cyno should have the 4-piece of Flower of Paradise Lost to amplify Hyperbloom DMG, while either Yaoyao or the Dendro Traveler should have the 4-piece of Deepwood Memories to reduce enemies' resistance to Dendro.
Cyno + Beidou + Dendro MC + Xingqiu
In this Cyno team comp, bothBeidouandXingqiuare present to protect Cyno. The idea behind this combination is for players to play with both Hyperbloom and QuickenDendro Elemental Reactions inGenshin Impact, along with Electro-Charged.
Players should start with Dendro MC’s Burst, then Xingqiu’s.It’s crucial to ensure Xingqiu’s Hydro comes in contact with Dendro MC’s ultimateas it’ll widen the Dendro Lamp’s AoE. However, if the enemies are concentrated in close space, then it’s better to hit the Dendro MC’s ultimate with Electro to increase the Lamp’s attack speed. Afterward, use Beidou’s Burst before swapping to Cyno.
Cyno + Kazuha + Dori + Xingqiu
This Cynoteam comp inGenshin Impactwill not rely on any Dendro character; rather, it’ll focus on maximizing Electro DMG. Kazuha will buff Cyno’s Electro DMG while lowering the enemy’s Electro RES. Meanwhile, Dori exists to both heal Cyno and feed his Energy requirement.Dori is a brilliant pair with Cyno as she practically solves his Energy issue.
For this team, start with Dori’s Elemental Skill, then Kazuha’s Burst and Skill. Afterward, use Xingqiu’s Burst, throw Dori’s ultimate, and finally, bring Cyno out to clear the enemies out.
Cyno + C6 Candace + Yun Jin + Zhongli
Although Cyno’s Elemental Burst has multipliers written on it,the DMG he deals during his ultimate is actually considered Normal Attack DMG. This means characters like Yun Jin and Candace can increase the DMG Cyno deals. This team requires C6 Candace as Candace’sfinal Constellation inGenshin Impactperiodically deals Hydro DMG, allowing Electro-Charged to occur.

For the final slot, Zhongli is an amazing choice. Not only will the Geo Archon protect the main DPS, but the combination of Zhongli and Yun Jin will also trigger the Geo Resonance. Geo Resonance strengthens the team’s shield and also increases the DMG of any unit protected by a shield by 15%.
Cyno + Collei + Yun Jin + Zhongli
This Cyno team comp replaces Candace with Collei. Players will play Cyno to trigger Aggravate while simultaneously buffing his DMG with Yun Jin.Collei is a great option for this team compositionas herSprouteffect is attached to the active character, allowing Cyno to easily refresh the Quicken debuff as long as the Sprout effect persists. One issue with this team is that players will be missing a Battery for Cyno.Ensure he has enough Energy Recharge to make a smooth rotation.
The team rotation should start with Zhongli summoning his shield, then Yun Jin’s Burst, Collei’s Burst and Skill, and finally, Cyno. For those who don’t own Collei, Dendro Traveler is also viable in this Cyno team comp.
Cyno + Beidou + Dendro MC + Kazuha
Another Aggravate variation for Cyno team comp inGenshin Impact. This team doesn’t have much protection, but it’ll focus on dealing as much Aggravate as possible with Cyno and Beidou.Kazuha will buff both units’ Electro DMG, which will further amplify their Aggravate procs.
Players should start with Dendro MC’s Burst and Skill, then Beidou’s Burst and Skill, then Kazuha’s Burst and Skill, and finally, Cyno to spam.
Cyno + Beidou + Dori + Kazuha
Instead of relying on Zhongli for protection, Cyno in thisteam comp will have Beidou and Dorido the job. Beidou can deal a lot of DMG as a sub-DPS, and paired with Kazuha’s buff, this mono-Electro team should not be underestimated. However, one important thing to note is thatplayers can’t use Thundering Fury in this setup. Cyno should use other options like Thundersoother or Gladiator’s Finale.

Players can do the rotation starting with Dori’s Skill, then Kazuha’s Burst and Skill, then Dori’s Burst, Beidou’s Burst, and finally, Cyno to take the field for the following 18s.
Cyno + Beidou + Dori + Xingqiu
This Cyno team comp is similar to the previous one, but instead of using Kazuha to increase Electro DMG, Xingqiu takes his spot to enable the Electro-Charged Reaction. The combination of Cyno, Beidou, and Xingqiu means players will find a mountainous amount of numbers as they play. IfDori owns several of herGenshin ImpactConstellations, then this Cyno team comp will be even more chaotic.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
