2024-08-23 14:20:21

Greetings, Travelers! In the world of Teyvat, the arrival of each new character brings fresh adventures for players. With the update of Genshin Impact Version 5.0, we welcome a new character with unique skills and combat style - Kinich. As the representative of the Dendro element, Kinich plays a crucial role in elemental reactions. His distinctive combat mechanics and skill combinations also bring new possibilities for team configuration and battle strategies. In this guide, we will explore how to maximize Kinich's potential in Genshin Impact Version 5.0. Let's dive in!

Kinich

Kinich ★★★★★

“This servant of mine is no fool, and nimble too, as far as servants go. His biggest fault is that, no matter how hard you try, you simply can't get rid of him! I mean it — he literally will not die! Have you ever heard of someone falling headfirst off a cliff and still surviving!? Utterly infuriating!”

—K'uhul Ajaw

Kinich

Element:Dendro
Weapon:Claymore
Title:Turnfire Hunt
Region:Natlan
Occupation: Huitztlan
Birthday：11.11

SKILL

1.Normal Attack: Nightsun Style

Normal Attack
Performs up to 3 rapid attacks.
After using the Elemental Skill Canopy Hunter: Riding High to swing attack in the air, Kinich can execute an aerial normal attack before landing.

Charged Attack
Kinich consumes part of his stamina to spin and throw his greatsword forward, attacking enemies.

Plunging Attack
Kinich rapidly descends from the air, striking the ground, causing high damage to enemies along the path, and generating area damage upon impact.

Normal Attack: Nightsun Style

2.Elemental Skills：Riding High

Kinich uses his big-game hunting skills for swift movement/attacks.
When there are enemies or objects nearby that can be attacked, Kinich attaches a grappling hook to the target, allowing him to enter Nightsoul's Blessing without consuming Nightsoul points. If there are no other targets nearby, Kinich can also shoot a grappling hook forward and swing in the air, reducing the cooldown of this skill by 60%.

Nightsoul's Blessing: Kinich
Kinich's Nightsoul's Blessing lasts for 10 seconds, generating 2 Nightsoul points per second.

When using normal attacks, Kinich will loop around the grappling hook target and fire Loop Shots, causing Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG and generating 3 Nightsoul points.
When Nightsoul points reach the maximum value, Kinich can use the Elemental Skill Scalespiker Cannon: consuming all Nightsoul points to cause Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG. When holding Scalespiker Cannon, Kinich can aim and shoot. After firing the cannon, Kinich will attempt to grapple to the target and continue attacking enemies.
When Kinich is in Nightsoul's Blessing, after grappling or firing Scalespiker Cannon, a Blind Spot will be generated around the opponent. When Kinich enters the Blind Spot, the Blind Spot will disappear and 4 Nightsoul points will be obtained.

If Kinich's grappling connection is disconnected due to exceeding the maximum distance or other reasons, normal attacks can be used to reconnect with nearby opponents and perform loop shots.

Elemental Skills：Riding High

3.Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord

Kinich unleashes the power of Ajaw, the Almighty Dragonlord, causing extremely high damage value Nightsoul-aligned AoE Dendro DMG. Ajaw will intermittently release his dragon-breath, causing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Dendro DMG.
If Kinich is in Nightsoul's Blessing when using this skill, the duration of the Blessing will be extended by 1.7 seconds.

Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord

3.Team Composition Recommendations

Kinich+Emilie+Nahida+Dehya

This lineup is easy to operate with stable output damage and high area damage, suitable for beginners. Both Emilie and Nahida can enhance Kinich's elemental damage, causing high damage to enemies after triggering the burning effect. Kinich's output during combat can apply Dendro element to enemies, and Dehya's skills can enhance Kinich's resistance to interruption.

Kinich+Emilie+Nahida+Dehya

Kinich+Raiden Shogun+Nahida+Furina

This lineup mainly relies on Kinich and Raiden Shogun to frequently trigger Hyperbloom for output, capable of dealing with various situations. Nahida increases the elemental damage of the entire team, and Furina provides resistance to interruption and healing effects, making the team's survival and endurance capabilities strong.

Kinich+Raiden Shogun+Nahida+Furina
