THE Windflower Festival is in full bloom in Genshin Impact, introducing new story quests and mini-games.

This festival has brought various personalities to the region, including Cyno.

Once you’ve completed the Festival main story, you can find him outside of Cat’s Tail, where you can challenge him to an ingenious summon.

Here are all the tips you need to beat Cyno at Genius Invocation in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact: Cynos Genius Invocation Windflower Festival deck

Cyno’s character cards include Kyno, Bennett And Colleagues.

This gives his deck plenty of burst damage thanks to the Pyro and Electro characters, while Bennett provides the healing.

There is a suspicion that Cyno is fixed as he always has enough dice to make three attacks per turn.

He mainly attacks with Cyno and Bennett and focuses on his damage output.

You can either fight fire with fire, countering Cyno’s aggressive plays with your own attacks, or slowly dismantle him.

We used a deck with Klee, Beidou, and Kokomi to win this match.

Klee deals most of the damage while Beidou and Kokomi provide damage reduction and healing for the team.

Klee’s Elemental Burst negates Bennett’s healing, which is especially helpful against Cyno’s deck.

Kokomi’s Summon negates any elemental effect on her and constantly heals, making her a key player.

Beidou tanks damage and creates a shield while charging up her elemental ability while adding Electro to Klee’s attacks.

Fill the deck with Timmie, Liben, Katheryne, Dawn Winery, Favonius Library, Jade Chamber, lots of healing, and some artifacts and you should be able to withstand Cyno’s attack.

There is no achievement for defeating Cyno, and the victory does not count toward your Genius Invocation XP.

Your reward is the bragging rights you earn by beating the master at his own game.
