Kinich is a mobile DPS specializing in either Burning or Burgeon teams, which by itself can be limiting due to the elements required, but also doesn't overwrite current teams for other Dendro carries like Alhaitham. Like Mualani, his frontloaded damage works best on single-target scenarios for one-shotting opponents with his Scalespiker Cannon. His range from enemies and high mobility during combat also makes him safer than most DPS, although it will need time to get used to master his movements.

Kinich mechanically is strict and needs proper mastery, as losing Nightsoul points by not going to the Blind Spot or shooting his cannon too late can lead to him not firing up the recommended amount of Scalespiker Cannons he should do in his rotation (3-4 times), especially on non-Burgeon or Burning teams.

Kinich Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Scalespiker Cannon's damage scales massively, giving Kinich great frontloaded damage potential.
• Elemental Skill lets Kinich evade enemy attacks without sacrificing DPS.
• Elemental Burst is a good source of off-field AoE Dendro Damage that is flexible in its use, and also extends the duration of his Nightsoul Blessing during his skill.
• Elemental Skill latches onto opponents and automatically targets them, eliminating any nuances when it comes to ranged opponents.
Weaknesses
• Scalespiker Cannon during his Elemental Skill can be shot 3 to 4 times per rotation, but the timing is strict and performs slower on teams that are not focused on Burning or Burgeon.
• Movement during his Elemental Skill requires mastery for the foresight on where to go, especially when going to the glowing Blind Spot.
• Is a single-target unit for the most part, requiring teammates or effective use of Scalespiker Cannon and Elemental Burst to deal AoE damage.

Kinich Best Builds

Building Kinich as a DPS

Kinich is a unit that utilizes his Elemental Skill to deal frontloaded Dendro DMG to opponents, and thus needs a good amount of CRIT stats to make use of Scalespiker Cannon's scalings.

With that in mind, opt to build as much CRIT DMG and ATK% as possible, getting enough CRIT Rate as needed depending on which build you choose.

In his best teams on Burning or Burgeon, Kinich uses Obsidian Codex as his best build for the massive CRIT Rate bonus every time he uses Nightsoul Points during his Elemental Skill. It also allows him to build CRIT easier building, letting him sit comfortably at +40% CRIT Rate alone.

An alternative to this is 4-pc. Unfinished Reverie for the 50% DMG increase only against Burning opponents, and Kinich will usually be running in teams that utilize Burn anyway, making this a solid option.

If you are opting to run Kinich as a standard Dendro DPS, you can opt for something like 4-pc. Gilded Dreams or other Elemental Mastery-centric Artifact Sets and run him in standard Dendro DPS comps like Spread and Hyperbloom.

Kinich fills the role of being the on-field Dendro Applicator to either deal Spread damage or generate bloom cores for the Electro unit to trigger, all while supplementing the team with his respectable damage.

Kinich Talent Priority

1st 2nd 3rd
Elemental Skill Elemental Burst Normal Attack

Kinich's main talent priority is his Elemental Skill as that increases the damage of his Loopshots and Scalespiker Cannon, both of which make up the core damage foundation of his kit.

Next up, you can level his Elemental Burst for K'uhul Ajaw to be able to deal more Off-Field damage while Kinich is focused on one target. His Normal Attacks can be saved for last.

Kinich Best Artifacts

Obsidian Codex is His Best-in-Slot

Obsidian Codex is Kinich's best 4-pc. option due to the free 15% DMG increase and essentially free 40% CRIT Rate given to him whenever he uses his Elemental Skill.

Alternatives include 4-pc. Unfinished Reverie specifically for Burning teams, and a mix of 2-pc. Deepwood Memories and 2-pc. Golden Troupe to boost his damage while you farm for 4-pc. Obsidian Codex.

Kinich Best Team Comps

Kinich Works Best with Pyro

Kinich works exceptionally well in Burning or Burgeon teams due to his A1 Passive giving him more Nightsoul Points against opponents hit by Burning or Burgeon.

This passive alone lets him shoot one more Scalespiker Cannon during his rotations, which is a sizable addition to his already impressive damage.

Kinich Burning Teams

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS/
Support
Support
Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Emilie Emilie Genshin - Xiangling Xiangling Genshin - Bennett Bennett
Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Emilie Emilie Genshin - Xiangling Xiangling Genshin - Dehya Dehya

Burning teams are one half of Kinich's intended team comps as his kit wants him to attack enemies who are currently in the Burning (or Burgeon) state to gain more Nightsoul points, while also benefitting allies like Emilie who both synergize well for this particular niche.

You may opt on using any off-field Pyro like Xiangling, Thoma, or Dehya as long as the Burning Aura doesn't fall off. Emilie is not required for Burning teams, so you may also use other Dendro supports like Nahida, Baizhu, or Collei for the Deepwood Memories effect coverage.

Kinich Burgeon Teams

Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu Genshin - Thoma Thoma
Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Yelan Yelan Genshin - Dehya Dehya

Burgeon teams are the other half of Kinich's intended team composition to accumulate Nightsoul points, utilizing at least one Hydro and Pyro. Thoma or Dehya are the best Pyro off-field characters you can use, as they provide slow off-field application as well as shields to protect you against the Burgeon explosions.

Kinich Quicken Teams

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS/

Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Fischl Fischl Genshin - Zhongli Zhongli

You may also use Kinich on Quicken teams with an Electro character just as fine as a Dendro carry, but do note that Kinich gains less Nighstoul points from not having a Burning or Burgeon reaction occur in the field, which leads to him shooting less Scalespiker Cannons for lesser damage overall.

Kinich Quickbloom Teams

Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu
Genshin - Kinich Kinich Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Yelan Yelan Genshin - Shinobu Shinobu

Kinich can also function in a Quickbloom team as the Dendro applicator, allowing him to generate bloom cores for use by the Electro trigger.

One thing to keep track of is that his Elemental Skill puts him at range against an opponent, and sometimes an Electro trigger like Shinobu needs to be close to trigger bloom cores, and cannot do so if Kinich is sliding too much away from the source.

Kinich Best Constellations

Chimaera Alebriius

Constellation and Effects

Kinich's Constellations
C1 Parrot's Beak
After Kinich lands from Canopy Hunter: Riding High's mid-air swing, his Movement SPD will increase by 30% for 6s.
Additionally, Scalespiker Cannon's CRIT DMG is increased by 100%.
C2 Tiger Beetle's Palm
When Kinich's Elemental Skill hits an opponent, it will decrease their Dendro RES by 30% for 6s.
Additionally, the first Scalespiker Cannon Kinich fires after entering Nightsoul's Blessing has increased AoE, and its DMG increases by 100%.
C3 Protosuchian's Claw
Increases the Level of Canopy Hunter: Riding High by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4 Hummingbird's Feather
When in Nightsoul's Blessing, Kinich will restore 5 Energy after using his Loop Shots or after unleashing the Scalespiker Cannon. Energy can be regenerated this way once every 2.8s.
Additionally, Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord deals 70% more DMG.
C5 Howler Monkey's Tail
Increases the Level of Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6 Auspicious Beast's Shape
After Scalespiker Cannon hits an opponent, it will bounce between opponents once, dealing 700% of Kinich's ATK as Dendro DMG.
If this Scalespiker Cannon triggers the buffs that Passive Talent "Flame Spirit Pact" or the Constellation "Tiger Beetle's Palm" grant to the Cannon, the bouncing attack will also obtain the relevant buffs.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

Rating Constellation Effect / Merits
C1 ★★☆ • Increases the damage dealt by his Elemental Skill's Scalespiker Cannon, which is essentially his primary source of damage.
• Quality-of-Life buff to exploration by buffing his movement speed if he uses his mid-air slash as the last part of his movement.
C2 ★★★ • Decreases enemy Dendro RES, letting Kinich effectively deal 30% more damage.
• Scalespiker Cannon damage increased even more, on top of C1's CRIT DMG increase.
C4 ★★☆ • Restores Elemental Energy for Kinich during his Elemental Skill, letting him get his Elemental Burst back sooner.
• Increases Elemental Burst damage, making it a more reliable source of Dendro damage.

C2 is a Good Stopping Point

Kinich's C2 is a great stopping point for his kit, and is the spot where his Scalespiker Cannon is nearly in top form, with the last upgrade being C3.

While he is a viable unit at C0, placing him at C2 unlocks more of his one-shot capabilities, and can be worth picking up if you are willing to invest into Kinich's potential.

Kinich Talents and How to Use

Normal Attack

Normal Attack: Nightsun Style
Performs up to 3 rapid strikes.
After using his Elemental Skill "Canopy Hunter: Riding High"'s mid-air swing, he can perform a Normal Attack in mid-air before landing.
Charge Attack
Consumes a certain amount to spin and throw his Claymore forward to attack opponents.
Plunge Attack:
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill

Canopy Hunter: Riding High
Kinich uses his big-game hunting skills to either move swiftly or attack his opponent.
When there is an opponent or object that can be attacked nearby, he will attach a grappling hook to the target and enter Nightsoul's Blessing with 0 Nightsoul points. If neither is nearby, he fires a grappling hook forward and swings in mid-air, and this Skill's CD is decreased by 60%.
This skill can be Held to release. When it is Held, Kinich can aim the grappling hook.
Nightsoul's Blessing: Kinich
Kinich's Nightsoul's Blessing lasts 10s and generates 2 Nightsoul points every second. In this state, Kinich will hook onto a nearby opponent and perform a variable attack:
·When using a Normal Attack, Kinich will fire Loop Shots as he loops around the grappled target based on his current movement direction, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG and generating 3 Nightsoul points. Loop Shot DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
·When Nightsoul points are at max, he can use the Elemental Skill "Scalespiker Cannon": Consume all Nightsoul points to deal Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG. When "Scalespiker Cannon" is Held, Kinich can aim this shot. After firing the Cannon, Kinich will try to grapple to its target.

While in Nightsoul's Blessing, after grappling an opponent or firing "Scalespiker Cannon," a Blind Spot will be generated next to the opponent. When Kinich enters this Blind Spot, it will disappear and he will generate 4 Nightsoul points.
If the grapple connection should snap due to exceeding the maximum distance or some other reason, using a Normal Attack will establish a new connection with a nearby opponent before performing Loop Shots.

Hookshot that Latches onto Opponents

Kinich fires a hook that latches onto an enemy, allowing him to slide around the opponent, maneuvering across the battlefield while dealing damage to the latched opponent.

With the enemy as the center point of Kinich's movement, he is free to move clockwise or counter-clockwise in a circle as he fights.

Charges a Power Shot

As Kinich fills up his Nightsoul Points, he can charge up a powerful blast that deals high amount of Dendro damage, using up all his Nightsoul Points and thus ending his Nightsoul's Blessing unless he has Phlogiston.

Can be Used to Fly Across Terrain

His Hookshot can also be used to navigate through Terrain by aiming it in the air, allowing Kinich to bypass rigid and dangerous areas by hoisting himself into the air.

Elemental Burst

Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord
Unleashes the power of the Almighty Dragonlord, K'uhul Ajaw (on a limited, conditional, restricted, contractual, partial, temporary basis), dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Dendro DMG. Ajaw will unleash his Dragon Breath at intervals, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Dendro DMG.
If Kinich is in Nightsoul's Blessing when this is used, this Blessing's duration is extended by 1.7s.

AoE Dendro Turret Dragon

Kinich's Elemental Burst lets him summon Ajaw as a pixelated dragon to rain down fire on the enemy from above, creating a source of Off-Field damage for Kinich as he continues to stay On-Field to deal damage.

Passive Talent 1

The Price of Desolation
When Kinich is in Nightsoul's Blessing state, opponents hit by his Elemental Skill will enter the Desolation state, and when affected by Burning or Burgeon reaction DMG, they will restore 7 Nightsoul points to him. Nightsoul points can be gained this way once every 0.8s. The Desolation state will persist until this instance of Kinich's Nightsoul's Blessing state ends.

Passive Talent 2

Flame Spirit Pact
After a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Kinich will gain 1 stack of Hunter's Experience that lasts 15s. Max 2 stacks. When Kinich uses Canopy Hunter: Riding High's Scalespiker Cannon, all stacks of Hunter's Experience will be consumed, with each stack consumed increasing the DMG dealt by this Cannon shot by 320% of Kinich's ATK.

Passive Talent 3

Night Realm's Gift: Repaid in Full
When Kinich is in the air following Canopy Hunter: Riding High's mid-air swing, he can consume 10 Phlogiston points to perform another mid-air swing.
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Kinich. When the current active character is sprinting, in movement states that result from specific Talents, or in the air, when you switch to Kinich: Kinich will perform one of the following actions depending on the conditions met:
·When facing a Coilgrass Sigil that can be interacted with: He will fire a grappling hook towards it to move;
·When there are nearby opponents and you are in combat: Kinich will use Canopy Hunter: Riding High in the direction of the opponents;
Otherwise, Kinich will fire a grappling hook and swing, prioritizing valid Coilgrass Sigils as grapple targets.
Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own party.

When interacting with Coilgrass Sigils and other items that Yumkasaurs can interact with, "Canopy Hunter: Riding High" will be converted to "Yumkasaur Mimesis," which causes interactions with such items to follow rules applicable to Yumkasaurs, and which will not put Canopy Hunter: Riding High on CD.

Passive Talent 4

Swift Envoy
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, interacting with some harvestable items will increase your own party members' Movement SPD by 15% for 10s. Additionally, the location of nearby resources unique to Natlan will appear on your mini-map.

Aids in Natlan Local Specialty Searching

Kinich is also able to assist in finding Natlan's various Local Specialties, which will serve as a good aid for finding the materials needed to ascend him, and the other Natlan characters.

Thoughts About Kinich

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Kachina ImageKachina It was Mualani who introduced me to him! To be honest, I was a little scared of him at first, because his eyes... well, he's got a scary look. It was only later that I found out that he secretly taught my bullies a lesson. But when I tried to give him a gift to thank him, he refused to take it. He said something along the lines of having already received enough compensation...
Genshin Impact - Mualani ImageMualani Ajaw will say more in a day than Kinich in a whole year. It can't be easy having to deal with all of Ajaw's antics, but somehow Kinich always manages to do his own thing. Now that I think about it, the only time they seem equally uninterested is when I talk about horoscopes...
