Cyno is a Polearm-wielding Electro character who serves as the latest 5-Star unit in Genshin Impact, and while his kit is not breaking any world records, the General Mahamatra is certainly capable of wreaking destruction when placed with a proper team composition. Many might liken him to an "upgraded Razor," and they are correct in some regard since Cyno is a Main Electro DPS. Due to his aggressive playstyle like Razor and frontline Elemental abilities, players will need to orient their best team comps around supporting and enhancing his role as the primary damage dealer of the party in Genshin Impact.

Before discussing the best team compositions for Cyno in Genshin Impact, it is important to consider what he needs when placed in a group. First, it is always optimal to pair Cyno with another Electro unit who serves as a "battery" for extra Energy Recharge. This approach allows the General Mahamatra to be more efficient in combat when dealing damage. Furthermore, it is crucial that the secondary Electro unit has abilities that coincide well with the uptime of Cyno's Elemental Burst. If their cooldowns are too long or spaced out, it will be tricky to transition smoothly back to Cyno.

Keeping the information above in mind, the first best team comp for Cyno in Genshin Impact would be Cyno, Beidou, Dendro Traveler, and Kazuha. YouTuber Zy0x suggests that Cyno and Beidou synergize well for efficient Energy Recharge and Electro application. Dendro Traveler acts as a catalyst to proc Quicken, and Kazuha serves as a filler slot for supportive utility. However, due to the lack of healing in this team comp, sustainment in combat can be challenging for those who are not skilled in dodging attacks.

A more defensive variation of this best Cyno team comp in Genshin Impact would include Cyno, Fischl, Dendro Traveler, and Zhongli. Similar to Beidou, Fischl serves as an Electro Sub DPS for Cyno but offers more Energy Recharge, thanks to her kit. However, her uptime for Oz is quite short, making it troublesome to keep up with Cyno's Elemental Burst. However, this loss of potential damage should not affect most casual or newer players in Genshin Impact.

Dendro Traveler functions identically as the Quicken trigger, but Genshin Impact fans can replace the Traveler with Collei if they prefer her playstyle. Finally, Zhongli's presence is incredibly beneficial for Cyno, especially during his Elemental Burst. Zhongli's shield is highly resistant and lasts long enough to keep players safe as they wreak havoc during Sacred Rite: Wolf's Swiftness. As a result, this second team comp is a much safer option for those who are less combat-savvy in Genshin Impact.
