Since Genshin Impact's introduction in 2020, there was only one male Electro user: Razor. However, another has finally been introduced: Cyno, a five-star Electro polearm user from Sumeru. This Anubis-themed character is famous from the Genshin Impact manga, and is a popular design among fans.
Those who have pulled Cyno and hope to ascend him and upgrade his talents will need the right items and enough Mora. This guide will outline how much of everything is needed, as well as where to find it.
Leveling Materials
Every character in Genshin Impact uses the same amount of EXP and Mora to reach level 90, which is the maximum. Here's how much is required between each of Cyno's ascension levels:

Cyno Ascension Items
As an Electro Vision holder, Vajrada Amethyst is the elemental gem Cyno uses to ascend. Along with this purple gem, he'll need some Samachurl drops, a local specialty of the Sumeru desert, and a boss drop from Sumeru's Electro Regisvine.

Gemstones - Where to Find Vajrada Amethyst
Like all elemental gems, Vajrada Amethyst can be obtained from bosses, daily commission bonuses, the Parametric Transformer, and so on. The most efficient way to farm it is by defeating bosses who can drop it in their rewards. Those bosses include the following:
- Electro Hypostasis
- Thunder Manifestation
- Coral Defenders
- Primo Geovishap*
- Electro Regisvine
- Iniquitous Baptist
- Millennial Pearl Seahorse
- Dvalin (Confront Stormterror)
- Childe (Enter the Golden House)
- Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
- The Shogun (End of the Oneiric Euthymia)
- Scaramouche (Joururi Workshop)
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Samachurl Scrolls
There is no shortage of Samachurls dotted around Teyvat. This is great for anyone hoping to ascend Cyno, as he needs their drops to ascend. At higher levels, Samachurls are capable of dropping higher-quality materials, as shown here:
- Any level: Divining Scroll
- Level 40+: Sealed Scroll
- Level 60+: Forbidden Curse Scroll
Of course, higher-level Samachurl Scrolls can be crafted from lower-quality ones.
Boss Drop - How to Get Thunderclap Fruitcore
A third Regisvine was finally added after Mondstadt's and Liyue's Cryo and Pyro Regisvines. Sumeru's Mawtiyima Forest is home to the Electro Regisvine, which drops Thunderclap Fruitcore when defeated. This item is used in Cyno's ascension!
Local Specialty - Where to Find Scarabs
Unfortunately, anyone who planned to prefarm Cyno ascension materials could not get their hands on absolutely everything, because Scarabs were not released until Cyno himself was in the Genshin Impact 3.1 update. These Scarabs are one of Sumeru's local specialties, and can only be found in the region's desert, not its rainforests.
Cyno will need a total of 168 Scarabs to completely ascend, so players will need to head to the sandy desert to find them.
Cyno Talent Materials
Cyno's talents require some more Samachurl Scrolls, as well as books from one of Sumeru's talent series and some other items, as well as a small fortune in Mora.

Talent Books - Admonition
The talent series used in Cyno's talent upgrades is Admonition. The Admonition series can be obtained by clearing the Steeple of Ignorance domain on Monday, Thursday, or Sunday.
Trounce Materials - Mudra of the Malefic General
Cyno's talents require a trounce material from Inazuma. Players will need to defeat the Shogun in the End of the Oneiric Euthymia weekly domain and pay the Resin cost for her rewards, which can include the Mudra of the Malefic General item.
