Guides
Build your Kinich with the best weapons, artifacts, and talents and take down enemies with ease in Genshin Impact.
Kinich is an excellent five-star dendro DPS character who was added to the roster in version 5.0. To bring out his amazing damage potential, you need to equip him with the right artifacts and weapons, and if you are having trouble building him, this guide will help you out with your Kinich Build in Genshin Impact.
Kinich’s kitmostly relies on his Scalespiker Cannon’s damage, which has good damage scaling, making him a powerhouse. Ajaw sticks right beside him, and using your trusty partner, you will be able to inflict some off-field damage as well, when you activate your elemental burst.
Kinich’s best artifacts
As Kinich is a DPS unit, it’s a no-brainer that you will be focusing on increasing the damage dealt with his critical attacks and dendro elemental damage. There are a few good choices here that you can consider equipping him with, but the Obsidian Codex is the best artifact for your Kinich build.
Artifact stats priority
If you have Obsidian Codex equipped, you do not need to increase your critical rate much and instead, you’re able to focus more on leveling up artifacts with critical damage and attack as substats. You also need energy recharge to use his elemental burst more often.

Kinich’s best weapons
His signature weapon “Fang of the Mountain King” is inarguably the most suitable choice for him, however, if you are a F2P player, you’re able to equip some other great weapons on Kinich. Weapons with critical rate, critical damage, attack, and energy recharge are best for your Kinich build in Genshin Impact.
Kinich’s Talents Priority
Kinich elemental skill scales greatly as you generate and use Nightsoul points. Every time you use Scalespiker Cannon, you will be able to take down all enemies around you with Kinich’s dendro damage alone.
However, if you want to deal some off-field dendro damage and trigger reactions with other elements, you’re able to level up his elemental burst to make it more efficient.
