Kinich (Turnfire Hunt)

Kinich is a Dendro Claymore DPS who excels at single-target damage and mobility-based combat. His grappling hook lets him zip toward enemies and charge powerful shots, while his Burst summons Ajaw (his dragon compannion) to deal continuous AoE Dendro damage. He fits best in Burning or Burgeon teams and brings great exploration utility with his hook-based movement.

Best Teams

Kinich excels as a Dendro DPS in teams built around the Burning and Burgeon reaction, where constant Pyro is required. He synergizes well alongside characters like Bennett, Emilie, or Mavuika, Xiangling. While he’s usable in other Dendro reaction teams like Quickbloom or Hyperbloom, it is not reccomended as you would lose a lot of damage.

Elemental Skill

Canopy Hunter: Riding High

Kinich uses his big-game hunting skills to either move swiftly or attack his opponent.
When there is an opponent or object that can be attacked nearby, he will attach a grappling hook to the target and enter Nightsoul’s Blessing with 0 Nightsoul points. If neither is nearby, he fires a grappling hook forward and swings in mid-air, and this Skill’s CD is decreased by 60%.
This skill can be Held to release. When it is Held, Kinich can aim the grappling hook.

Nightsoul’s Blessing: Kinich
Kinich’s Nightsoul’s Blessing lasts 10s and generates 2 Nightsoul points every second.
In this state, Kinich will hook onto a nearby opponent and perform a variable attack:

When using a Normal Attack, Kinich will fire Loop Shots as he loops around the grappled target based on his current movement direction, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG and generating 3 Nightsoul points. Loop Shot DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
When Nightsoul points are at max, he can use the Elemental Skill “Scalespiker Cannon”: Consume all Nightsoul points to deal Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG. When “Scalespiker Cannon” is Held, Kinich can aim this shot. After firing the Cannon, Kinich will try to grapple to its target.

While in Nightsoul’s Blessing, after grappling an opponent or firing “Scalespiker Cannon,” a Blind Spot will be generated next to the opponent. When Kinich enters this Blind Spot, it will disappear and he will generate 4 Nightsoul points.
If the grapple connection should snap due to exceeding the maximum distance or some other reason, using a Normal Attack will establish a new connection with a nearby opponent before performing Loop Shots.

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Kinich. When the current active character is sprinting, in movement states that result from specific Talents, or in the air, when you switch to Kinich: Kinich will perform one of the following actions depending on the conditions met:
- When facing a Coilgrass Sigil that can be interacted with: He will fire a grappling hook towards it to move;
- When there are nearby opponents and you are in combat: Kinich will use Canopy Hunter: Riding High in the direction of the opponents;
Otherwise, Kinich will fire a grappling hook and swing, prioritizing valid Coilgrass Sigils as grapple targets.
Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own party.

When interacting with Coilgrass Sigils and other items that Yumkasaurs can interact with, “Canopy Hunter: Riding High” will be converted to “Yumkasaur Mimesis,” which causes interactions with such items to follow rules applicable to Yumkasaurs, and which will not put Canopy Hunter: Riding High on CD.
