The Stake of Fate: Pursuing the Materials for Cyno
In the world of Teyvat, fate is always playing an invisible game of chance. Some chase the light, others covet the darkness, while we are in pursuit of a figure known as Cyno.
She is the most enigmatic new character introduced in Genshin Impact version 5.7. Like a sharp one-handed sword, her existence hangs over every player like a double-edged sword, inspiring both longing and fear.
This time, our target is her. To have her stand before you and unleash her immense power, you must first complete a seemingly impossible task—gathering her ascension materials.
Chapter 1: The Weight of Materials
Every material is a challenging obstacle on the path to obtaining her. From raising her character level to refining her weapon, you must exert efforts beyond imagination.
Her character level must reach 90, a process that seems simple but is filled with hardship. Upgrading her Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst to Level 10 requires countless battles and endless practice.
The ascension materials are even more daunting. You’ll need 25 items from the “Lamentative Hymn” series, including fragments, chunks, and gemstones. Additionally, 279 pieces of gear-like materials such as “Meshing Gear,” “Mechanical Spur Gear,” and “Artificed Dynamic Gear” are required. The “Ensnaring Gaze” and “Skysplit Gembloom” materials alone demand 214 pieces.
Talent materials are no small feat either. The “Ballad” series, including “Teachings,” “Guides,” and “Philosophies,” totals 186 items. Various gears and ascension samples add another 197. While only 3 “Crowns of Insight” are needed, their rarity makes them formidable to obtain.
Weapon ascension materials are the final climax. From the “Night-Wind’s Mystic” series to the “Primal Nucleus,” “Shimmering Leaf,” “Winding Bolt,” and “Whispers,” a total of 155 items are required.
Chapter 2: Captive of Time
Time is the most ruthless adversary. Acquiring each material demands a significant investment of time. As the process unfolds, you’ll realize that time flows like sand in an hourglass—swift and unrelenting.
“Ensnaring Gaze” can only be obtained by defeating Level 30+ “Deep Corrosion.” “Skysplit Gembloom” is found in specific regions, making the hunt feel like a treasure map adventure.
“Ballad” materials are exclusively dropped in the “Abyssal Domain” known as “The Lost Valley.” Ascension samples like “Knight” can only be acquired by defeating weekly bosses or participating in the “Ferry of Solitude” challenge.
Chapter 3: The Gambit of Fate
Throughout this journey, you’ll find that fate resembles an unforgiving casino. Each material drop is like a dice roll cast by fate—sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but the gamble must continue.
Mora is the harsh reality you must confront. A total of 7,050,100 Mora is required, a staggering figure that feels insurmountable. Yet, it is an unavoidable path to obtaining Cyno.
The exclusive discount code “GENSHINLB3” offers a glimmer of hope with a 3% reduction. Even with this aid, the road ahead remains fraught with difficulty.
Chapter 4: The Final Decision
When you’ve finally gathered all the materials and Cyno stands before you, ready to unleash her full power, you’ll realize that the entire journey has been a testament to your perseverance.
