QUICKBLOOM / HYPERBLOOM DPS Build

Weapons

1

Staff of the Scarlet Sands

CRIT Rate

Signature pick; converts Elemental Mastery into bonus ATK% after Skill hits, rewarding the EM stacking needed for Hyperbloom and Aggravate.

2

Disaster and Remorse

CRIT Rate

5-star CRIT DMG stat stick; enhances Skill and Burst damage, giving a direct boost to reaction-triggering hits.

3

Primordial Jade Winged-Spear

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat plus stacking ATK% on hit; provides consistent output over a full Burst rotation.

4

Ballad of the Fjords

CRIT Rate

Elemental Mastery substat, and a passive that grants more EM when multiple elements are on the team; tailor-made for reaction-heavy compositions.

5

Lumidouce Elegy

CRIT Rate

High CRIT DMG and an ATK% boost; a balanced stat stick that supports raw damage while keeping crit ratio healthy.

6

Fractured Halo

CRIT DMG

Offers CRIT Rate and a damage buff; a reliable stat stick that complements the sustained field time.

7

Staff of Homa

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG plus HP-to-ATK conversion; high base stats make it strong despite lacking EM.

8

White TasselR5

CRIT Rate

Budget 3-star; CRIT Rate and Normal Attack DMG% align with the Burst-enhanced spear combos.

9

Deathmatch

CRIT Rate

Battle Pass choice; CRIT Rate plus situational ATK% boost keeps stats stable in melee range.

10

Symphonist of Scents

CRIT DMG

Elemental Mastery-focused with a reaction damage buff, directly increasing Hyperbloom and Quicken damage.

11

Kitain Cross Spear

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat, Skill DMG% boost, and energy refund after Skill; trades some damage for smoother rotations.

12

Missive WindspearR5

ATK%

ATK% with a passive that grants Elemental Mastery after triggering reactions; easy to stack during combat.

13

Skyward Spine

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge ensures Burst uptime; attack speed increase helps apply Electro to more cores.

14

Favonius Lance

Energy Recharge

Team energy battery; useful in tight rotations, though it sacrifices personal damage.

Artifacts

1

Thundering Fury

4

4-pc cuts Skill cooldown by 1s after reactions and boosts Electro reaction damage; enables the frequent Skill resets in the rotation.

2

Gilded Dreams

4

2-pc gives 80 Elemental Mastery; 4-pc boosts EM/ATK% based on team elements, making it flexible for mixed reaction comps.

3

Flower of Paradise Lost

4

4-pc increases Hyperbloom damage by 40% (plus stacking) and improves Bloom-type reactions; ideal for maximizing core detonation.

Thundering Fury

2

2-pc grants 80 Elemental Mastery outright; pair with Thundering Fury or Gladiator's Finale for a quick EM boost.

5

Gladiator's Finale

4

2-pc ATK% is a universal damage increase; 4-pc is niche but the 2-pc can tide over until better sets drop.

6

Marechaussee Hunter

4

4-pc gives up to 36% CRIT Rate when HP changes and adds Normal Attack DMG%; works if your team provides HP fluctuation, but loses EM compared to dedicated reaction sets.

- Cyno in Quickbloom/Hyperbloom mixes talent, Aggravate, and Hyperbloom damage with a Hydro teammate.
- Ballad of the Fjords at R5 outperforms Disaster and Remorse in Quickbloom.
- Deathmatch at R5 surpasses Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
- Skyward Spine matches or beats White Tassel R5 if its ATK Speed allows extra Normal Attacks.
- Energy Recharge weapons help when the team lacks Favonius or another Electro unit.
- Marechaussee Hunter (4) works with Furina in Quickbloom, needing a teamwide healer (preferably Baizhu); damage equals Gilded Dreams (4).
- Any mix of Elemental Mastery, Electro DMG Bonus, and CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG is effective. With high Hydro application, best main stats are Elemental Mastery Sands, Electro DMG Bonus Goblet, Elemental Mastery Circlet. Differences are minimal; choose by substats.

- For Aggravate, Cyno uses his Burst to enter a stance dealing Electro Normal Attack damage; team with Dendro and Electro allies for high personal damage.
- Skyward Spine matches or beats White Tassel R5 if its ATK Speed enables extra Normal Attacks.
- Ballad of the Fjords at R5 is slightly worse than Disaster and Remorse.
- Deathmatch at R5 outperforms Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
- Energy Recharge weapons help when the team lacks Favonius or another Electro unit.
- Thundering Fury (4) is Cyno's best set in optimal conditions, especially as sole Electro. Extra Skill casts reduce energy needs, but may miss Endseer windows; pair with a shielder.
- Gilded Dreams (4) beats Gladiator's Finale (4) with Staff of the Scarlet Sands or White Tassel.
- Thundersoother (4) outperforms Gladiator's Finale (4) if 100% uptime is possible, but this is impractical in most teams.
- Sands: Elemental Mastery or ATK% depends on weapon and team; test or use an optimizer. With Staff of the Scarlet Sands, Elemental Mastery Circlet is viable.
