Guide to Build Kinich in Genshin Impact- Best Weapons, Artifacts, and More

Kinich is the new 5-star Dendro DPS from Natlan, currently featured alongside the rerun of Raiden Shogun until October 10, 2024. Kinich has a unique playstyle, which initially may seem like a combination of Ben 10 and Spider-Man. 

His skill attaches a rope to the targeted enemies and deals constant damage, followed by a nuke. He can also use his skill to explore the overworld by swinging mid-air. He can be a complete powerhouse only if built right. 

1. What is the best build for Kinich in Genshin Impact?

The best build for Kinich in Genshin Impact includes the following-

• Best Weapon: Fang of the Mountain King
• Best Artifacts: 4-pc Obsidian Codex
• Best Team: Kinich, Emilie, Bennett, Xiangling
• Preferred Stats: Crit RATE and DMG, ATK%, and some Energy Recharge%

Kinich deals powerful Dendro damage with his Elemental Skill, which nukes enemies. He uses the Burning reaction to speed up the charge of his Nightsoul, allowing you to unleash more damage. If you are using the Obsidian Codex, it’s important to maintain a low Crit Rate and focus more on Crit Damage alongside ATK%.

2. Best Weapons

The Fang Of The Mountain King is the signature and undoubtedly the best weapon for Kinich. The weapon provides a very high base ATK and a lot of Skill DMG Bonus. The passive also works perfectly with Kinich’s playstyle, given that he fits in Burn teams. 

The best free-to-play option is the Earth Shaker, which can be on par with other 5-star weapons. The weapon provides a high base ATK and also some Skill DMG Bonus. Other viable weapons are-

• Beacon Of The Reed Sea
• Serpent Spine
• Verdict
• Wolf’s Gravestone

3. Best Artifacts

The 4-pc Obsidian Codex is the best artifact for Kinich and any Natlan character that uses the Nightsoul Blessing mechanism. This artifact provides some DMG bonus and a lot of Crit RATE, allowing you to focus more on other important stats. Other good artifact sets are-

• 4-pc Deepwood Memories
• 4-pc Unfinished Reverie
• 4-pc Golden Troupe
• 2-pc ATK% and 2-pc any of the above

4. Best Teams

Emilie, Bennett, and Xiangling make the best team for Kinich. Teams built around Kinich should consist of Dendro and Pyro characters to utilize the Burning reaction. Emilie is the best choice here due to her potential off-field Burning damage and energy particle generation. Nahida can also be a good choice for constant Burning and Dendro Res Shred. 

Bennett and Xiangling are the best pair from the game’s release, which fits around any team. Bennett provides a huge attack buff and heals the party, while Xiangling deals off-field Pyro damage. 

Other viable teams are-

• Kinich, Baizhu, Xiangling, Furina
• Kinich, Dehya, Emilie, Bennett
