Kinich

Kinich is a 5-star Dendro Claymore character from Natlan in Genshin Impact, designed as an on-field DPS. He is a skilled hunter, a member of the Scions of the Canopy tribe, and often participates in pilgrimages. Kinich uses a grappling hook in combat, and his abilities revolve around 'Nightsoul' points. His Elemental Skill allows him to enter the 'Nightsoul's Blessing' state, dealing high single-target damage with Normal Attacks and Elemental Skills while accumulating Nightsoul points. When Nightsoul points are maxed out, he can unleash the powerful 'Scalespiker Cannon,' dealing significant Dendro damage. Kinich's combat style is flexible; he can use his grappling hook to move around enemies and gain more Nightsoul points through Burning or Burgeon reactions. He can also summon K'uhul Ajaw with his Elemental Burst to deal area-of-effect Dendro damage. Recommended weapons for Kinich include his signature weapon, 'Fang of the Mountain King,' and other claymores that provide ATK or Crit stats. For artifacts, the 'Obsidian Codex' set is recommended, with the 'Unfinished Reverie' set as an alternative. In team compositions, Kinich often pairs with Pyro characters to leverage Burning reactions for increased damage. Xiangling is a great off-field Pyro character due to her consistent Pyro application and damage profile.
