▷ Kinich: Best Build, Weapons, Artifacts & Teams

Stars: ★★★★★
Element: Dendro
Weapon: Claymore
Region: Natlan
Birthday: 11 November
Release: 5.0

Kinich is a 5-star Dendro character whose role is Main DPS, boasting incredibly high damage scaling. Unlike most Dendro characters, who typically focus on Elemental Mastery, Kinich is better played with a pure damage build due to his overwhelming damage potential.

As a character from Natlan, Kinich has access to the Nightsoul mechanic, which he activates through his Elemental Skill. This also means he benefits greatly from being paired with other Natlan characters. However, his true strength shines in Burning and Burgeon teams, where he can fully utilize the enhanced state of his Elemental Skill to deal even greater damage.

Kinich stands out thanks to his unique playstyle. First, you mark an enemy with his Elemental Skill, then unleash a series of rapid strikes, culminating in what can only be described as a Dendro cannon blast. Meanwhile, his Ultimate summons his 8-bit dragon companion, transforming it into a massive dragon that deals passive damage even when Kinich is off the field. Natlan is arriving with a bang.

Kinich Main DPS

Although Kinich is a Dendro character, he doesn’t benefit much from Elemental Mastery. His abilities deal such high base damage that it's more effective to focus on pure damage stats like ATK and a balanced CRIT ratio. Remember that Kinich's main source of damage comes from his Elemental Skill, making it crucial to prioritize increasing this type of damage for maximum effectiveness.
