Cyno talent materials

To get the most out of using Cyno, you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.

For Cyno, you'll need to farm a lot of Scroll and Admonition materials (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade his capabilities.

As Cyno has three Talents, you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities, which we've also detailed below the table.

Here's what Cyno Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities:

Cyno Ascension materials

Just like Talents, you need to use Cyno Ascension materials to upgrade his health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.

You need to farm a lot of Scarab and Thunderclap Fruitcore materials for Cyno (if you don't already have them) to fully upgrade his capabilities.

Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Cyno to his highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.

Here's what Cyno Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade him for each Ascension level:
