The Staff of the Scarlet Sands is a 5-star polearm confirmed as Cyno's signature weapon. Cyno can be seen using the same polearm in multiple official Sumeru videos.

When fully ascended, the 5-star polearm can provide a Base ATK of 542 and 44.1% Crit-Rate as secondary stats. Its passive effect is called Heat Haze at Horizon's End, which states that any character wielding this will gain 52% of their total Elemental Mastery as a bonus ATK.

Hitting opponents with Elemental Skill will activate the Dream of the Scarlet Sands effect for 10 seconds. This effect will provide a bonus ATK to the equipping character based on 28% of their Elemental Mastery. Players can stack this effect three times.

Missive Windspear (Polearm)

Missivie Windspear is an event-exclusive 4-star polearm that will be one of the rewards from the upcoming "Of Ballads and Brews" event in Genshin Impact. Players can obtain all the refinement materials for Missive Windspear from the event shop.

When fully ascended, the polearm can provide 510 as Base ATK and 41.3% ATK as secondary stats. Missive Windspear passive effect "The Wind Unattained" can increase attack and Elemental Mastery. At Refinement level 1, triggering an elemental reaction will increase ATK by 12% and Elemental Mastery by 48 in 10 seconds.

At refinement level 1, characters equipping this weapon will gain 24% of their Elemental Mastery as Bonus ATK for 12 seconds. The nearby party members also receive 30% of the same buff for 12 seconds. Keep in mind that this passive effect can be triggered even when the character is not on the field.
