Genshin Impact Cyno materials list for ascension and talents
Lightning bugs
Getting all the Genshin Impact Cyno materials takes you on a trip through Sumeru’s desert and into the underground, with a detour to other parts of Teyvat to beat up some Samachurls and steal their scrolls.
Cyno is one of just two Sumeru Electro characters to use the Electro Regisvine boss drop, so there’s not much competition for that material.
His talent books are a different matter, though. He uses Admonition books, which the Traveler and Tighnari also require, so plan carefully when deciding whose talents to enhance.
Our Cyno materials list guide lays out everything you need to get the 5-star Electro character powered up. Check out our Cyno build guide if you’re wondering how to kit him out right once he’s where you want him to be.

Cyno materials for ascension
Here’s what you need to take Cyno to level 90.
| Level | Items | Cost in Mora |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, 3 Divining Scroll, 3 Scarab | 20,000 |
| 40 | 3 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, 15 Divining Scroll, 10 Scarab, 2 Thunderclap Fruitcore | 40,000 |
| 50 | 6 Vajrada Amethyst Fragment, 12 Sealed Scroll, 20 Scarab, 4 Thunderclap Fruitcore | 60,000 |
| 60 | 3 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, 18 Sealed Scroll, 30 Scarab, 8 Thunderclap Fruitcore | 80,000 |
| 70 | 6 Vajrada Amethyst Chunk, 12 Forbidden Curse Scroll, 45 Scarab, 12 Thunderclap Fruitcore | 100,000 |
| 80 | 6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone, 24 Forbidden Curse Scroll, 60 Scarab, 20 Thunderclap Fruitcore | 120,000 |
Vajrada Amethyst Electro gemstones come from several bosses, including the Electro Regisvine, Thunder Manifestation, Primo Geovishap, and Bathysmal Vishaps. You might also get them from the Stormterror, Childe, and Azhdaha weekly bosses. Your best bet for Cyno is getting them from the Electro Regisvine
Scarabs are a bit of a nuisance to find, so head over to our Scarab location guide for some more detailed help.
Scroll items only come from Samachurls, the Hilichurl elemental mages. You’ll find a few in Sumeru, but most of them call Liyue and Mondstadt home. Use the Bloom of Revelation challenges to raise your chances of encountering several Samachurl. You can also exchange Stardust for scrolls in the Paimon’s Bargains section of the in-game shop
Thunderclap Fruitcore is a boss drop from the Electro Regisvine in Sumeru, which also drops the Electro stones you need, so it’s a convenient way to cut down on time.

Admonition books come from the Steeple of Ignorance in Sumeru on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.
The Mudra item is a boss drop from the weekly Raiden Shogun boss. If you end up with a drop that you don’t need, take it to an alchemy table, where you can transform it into the right one.
Crowns of Insight are rare, so think carefully before deciding to upgrade Cyno’s talents all the way. His burst and normal attack are the most important, so focus your materials on those two first.
