Talent Priority:

  • His normal attack does not go up.

  • His Elemental Skill should be leveled up as much as possible since his big blasts are reflected here.

  • His Elemental Burst should also be leveled up as much as possible since Ajaw deals great damage.

The ideal setup would be 1/10/10 in terms of Talents.

Constellation Recommendation:

  • His C1 is very strong since it gives a significant Crit DMG boost to his Elemental Skill blasts.

  • His C2 is very powerful since it lowers Dendro resistance and also greatly increases the damage of the first blast from his Elemental Skill.

Video Summary

Kinich Build Guide

Kinich is a powerful Dendro carry from Natlan who specializes in dealing high damage through Burning and Burgeon reactions. This Kinich build focuses on utilizing his unique Noctambulism point system to maximize his Elemental Skill and Burst potential during combat rotations.

Best Weapons

  • Fang of the Mountain King: This is the signature weapon and best in slot option for Kinich. It provides massive damage bonuses that perfectly complement his kit and scaling, making it the top choice for high investment builds.
  • Earthshaker: This craftable claymore is the best F2P weapon for Kinich. It offers significant buffs to Elemental Skill damage when a Pyro reaction occurs, which is easy to maintain in his preferred Burning and Burgeon team comps.
  • Serpent Spine: A premium four star option that provides a high Crit Rate and a stacking damage buff. It is excellent for balancing his crit ratio, though it requires a shielder or careful play to maintain the stacks.
  • Beacon of the Reed Sea: This five star claymore provides a substantial Crit Rate boost and Attack percentage buffs. It serves as a strong alternative for players who do not have his signature weapon but want high offensive stats.

Best Artifacts

  • Obsidian Codex: This is the definitive artifact set for Kinich. It provides a massive 40 percent Crit Rate bonus when the character consumes Noctambulism points, allowing you to focus heavily on Crit Damage and Attack in your sub-stats.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • Stat Priorities: Focus on reaching an Energy Recharge target of 145 percent to 150 percent for consistent Bursts. Aim for a Crit Ratio of 75 percent Crit Rate and 250 percent Crit Damage while prioritizing Attack percentage as a secondary stat.
  • Kinich Premium Burgeon Team: This team featuring Kinich, Mavuika, Furina, and Bennett provides incredible damage through Vaporize and Burgeon. Furina offers a massive damage buff while Bennett and Mavuika provide the necessary Pyro application and Attack boosts.
  • Kinich Burning Team: Utilizing Kinich with Emilie, Mavuika, and Bennett creates a powerful Burning core. Emilie provides off field Dendro damage and benefits from the Burning aura, while the Pyro units ensure constant reaction uptime for Kinich.
  • F2P Friendly Pyro Team: A team consisting of Kinich, Xiangling, Iansan, and Bennett is highly effective for accessible gameplay. This composition focuses on high Pyro application and Dendro resistance shred to maximize Kinich's personal damage output.
