Genshin Impact: All the New Content Coming in Update 3.0

Cyno is an Electro Polearm user based in Sumeru of Genshin Impact. According to his introductory article, he holds the title of “General Mahamatra.” The role has him look out for academic scholars who further their research through unscrupulous means, such as plagiarism, fraud, misappropriation of funds, and other such methods.

Before the events of Genshin Impact, he traveled to Mondstadt at Lisa’s request. There, he saved Collei of Genshin Impact from the negative aftereffects of the archon residue experiments and brought her to Sumeru with him. This suggests that Cyno is somewhat of a scholar himself, with an understanding of the archons’ power and how it affects mortals.

Collei and Tighnari of Genshin Impact have voice lines talking about Cyno. Collei admits that she prefers not to talk about him because despite him being her savior, he brings back bad memories about her past. Tighnari reveals a bit more, citing his position as General Mahamatra and how seriously he takes it. Aside from that, he notes that Cyno visits Gandharva
