Kinich Best Weapon

Kinich Can Work With ATK, DMG & CRIT Boosting Weapons

	Weapon	Details
Best	Fang Of The Mountain King	CRIT Rate 11.0% (Lvl. 90) - Very high Base ATK greatly increases the damage of Kinich. - DMG Bonus for Skill is also great for boosting the damage of Kinich. - Works amazing with Kinich who is mostly placed on Burning or Burgeon team.
2nd	Beacon Of The Reed Sea	CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - Gives high amount of CRIT Rate and ATK which is good for Kinich. - Kinich can receive self damage often from Burning and Burgeon so activating the effect should be easy.
3rd	Serpent Spine	CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT Rate makes it easier for good Rate/DMG balance. - DMG Bonus works well on increasing the damage of Kinich. - Using Shields is recommended when using this weapon.
4th	Verdict	CRIT Rate 22.1% (Lvl. 90) - Powerful but you need Geo to maximize the effect. - ATK Boost and Elemental Skill DMG Buff helps in increasing the damage of Kinich.
5th (F2P)	Earth Shaker	ATK 27.6% (Lvl.90) - At R5, it is competitive to other 5 star options. - Increases ATK for more damage. - Can be obtained for free through Crafting.
6th	Wolf's Gravestone	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Greatly increases the ATK of Kinich. - Since it has no CRIT stats, it would be difficult to create a balanced CRIT Rate and DMG. - Conditional but effect can help the team of Kinich like Emilie which normally all scales from ATK.
7th (F2P)	Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl.90) - Allows a smoother rotation of Elemental Burst. - Decent weapon for its ATK Buff. - The weapon is limited to version 4.3.

If You Do Not Have CRIT Weapons, DMG Bonus Weapons Works As Well

Kinich mostly require CRIT Rate for his one-shot damage. If you do not have CRIT options, DMG boosting weapons that increases Skill DMG or Dendro DMG is recommended because of the lack of outside DMG Buff for Dendro.

Kinich Skill Guide & How To Use Kinich

How To Use Kinich?

How To Use?

▼Kinich is a Skill-based attacker that has amazing movements.
▼When Nightsoul Point is at max, shoot a cannon.
▼Gain Nightsoul Points faster with Burning / Burgeon / Blind Spots.
▼Further increase damage with Nightsoul Burst.
▼Elemental Burst has great constant DMG.
▼Amazing for traveling and exploration at Natlan.

Kinich Is An Elemental Skill-Based Attacker With Smooth Movements

Kinich is a character from Natlan that uses Nightsoul's Blessings to fight as a main DPS. At Elemental Skill mode, you will move left and right while attacking. After gaining points, you can shoot a blast of Dendro damage. This makes Kinich an amazing DPS that can easily dodge attacks of enemies.

When Nightsoul Points Is At Max, Use E. Skill To Shoot A Cannon

Basic Rotation
1. Use E. Skill to link to an enemy. 2. While moving around the enemy, use Normal Attack (Gain Nightsoul Points) 3. Once Nightsoul Gauge is maxed, use E. Skill to shoot a cannon. 4. Repeat 2~3.

While on Nightsoul's Blessing, Normal Attack will gather Nightsoul Points. Once you obtain max Nightsoul Point, you can use Elemental Skill to shoot an attack called Scalespiker Cannon. This attack is very powerful and is the main source of damage of Kinich. The strength of Kinich depends on how many times you can shoot this attack while on Nightsoul's Blessings.

Gain Nightsoul Points Faster With Burning / Burgeon / Blind Spots.

Method To Get Nightsoul Points	Points Gained
Obtain automatically per second	2 points
Deal Normal attack to linked enemy	3 points
After shooting, head to the Blind Spot	4 points
Deal Burning or Burgeon damage to enemies (Every 0.8 seconds)	7 points

▲Max point is 20 points (Not shown during battle)

You can increase the amount of Scalespiker Cannon shots you can deal while on Nightsoul Blessing mode by having a Burning or Burgeon reaction. Stepping on Blind Spot will also increase it greatly. With Burning, you can continuously gain Nightsoul Points so it is the most effective. Burgeon also works but it is more difficult to do consistently.

With Nightsoul Burst,You Can Further Increase Damage

*At the current, there are no Natlan character that works well with Kinich.
* Kinich will get stronger when Natlan characters that work with him is released.

What is Nightsoul Burst?	- Happens when there is a Natlan character in the team. - In itself, it does not have damage. - Shortens the cooldown when you have multiple Natlan characters. └1/2/3 characters is to 18s/12s/9s
Passive: Flame Spirit Pact	- Every Nightsoul Burst, boost the cannon DMG by +320%. 　└Last for 15 seconds, 2 stacks. - Shooting the cannon will reset the DMG Bonus.

With the Passive Talent, Flame Spirit Pact, you can greatly boost the damage of the cannon when a Nightsoul Burst occurs. With one Nightsoul Burst, the cannon from E. Skill can have 1500% damage. However, since Nightsoul Burst does not happen often, this can only happen around 1~2 shots per Elemental Skill.

Elemental Burst Is Amazing For Continuous Damage

Elemental Burst summons Ajaw and it will continuously deal AoE Dendro damage. While the Burst cost (70) is heavy, it last for 15 seconds with a great sub-DPS potential. Since the cut-in is pretty long and takes time from E. Skill, using this is optional. It is okay to use this when it is maxed out.

Amazing For Travelling and Exploration At Natlan

With Elemental Skill, you can do additional jumps from the air allowing you to reach places normally unreachable. In Natlan, you can use the Skill twice when you have Pholiston. This makes Kinich a top-tier character especially when exploring Natlan.
