BUDGET KINICH GUIDE
SUMMARY
Kinich is a 5-Star on-field DPS character who likes to be a part of Burning/Burgeon teams and is great at single-target damage
TALENT & ASCENSION MATERIALS
Kinich leveled to 80/90 due to his Ascension Stat (CRIT DMG %)
TALENT EXPLANATIONS
CONSTELLATIONS
ARTIFACTS
Artifact Sets
- 4pc Obsidian Codex is his best 4pc Set, providing +15% DMG dealt and +40% CRIT Rate.
- 4pc Unfinished Reverie is also a great set, but the CRIT Rate from Obsidian Codex can be very valuable
- Temporary 2pc Set Mix (Dendro DMG, ATK %, Obsidian Codex, Golden Troupe)
Main Stat & Substats
- He looks for the typical stats that DPS characters like! He doesn't need to build ER as his Burst is not extremely essential.
WEAPON OPTIONS
- Earth Shaker - Natlan Craftable is a great F2P option. It provides ATK % and the Passive will increase Skill DMG. The Passive also suits his teams!
- Stat sticks: Wolf's Gravestone (ATK %), Blackcliff Slasher (CRIT DMG)
- Serpent Spine - Provides CRIT Rate, can increase his DMG if you don't take DMG.
- Tidal Shadow - Fontaine Craftable that provides ATK % as long as you have a consistent healer on the team
TEAM COMPS
Kinich's A1 Passive pushes him towards Burning and Burgeon teams.
Burning - Pyro / maybe second Pyro / Flex
- Pyro - Bennett, Mavuika, Pyro Traveler, Dehya, Thoma, Xiangling
- Flex - Emilie (great off-field DPS character), Yaoyao/Baizhu/Kirara, Zhongli (comfort), Iansan (Buffer)
Burgeon - Hydro / Pyro / Flex/Healer
- Hydro - Xingqiu, Yelan, Furina
- Pyro - Thoma, Dehya, Bennett
Notes:
- Weapon options in my budget guides exclude weapons that are only obtainable from the limited (weapon) banner.
- With the addition of Chronicled Wish, this means some Weapon Banner exclusive weapons were added to Chronicle Wish as well, but these weapons are still considered "limited" for the purposes of these guides
- The rationale behind this is that the Chronicled Wish banner has the same duration as a normal banner and uses precious Intertwined Fates.
- This makes the Budget Guide friendlier to newer players, F2Ps, and low spenders.
- Materials for ascending the character to level 80/90 (for additional CRIT DMG) & talent levels 1 / 8 / 8
- In terms of purple XP books alone, you'd be saving 172 XP books (419 to 90/90 compared to 247 to 80/80). That's enough XP books to level up a different character to level 70! This aspect of the Budget Guides is friendly to players who may have less resources.
- It also potentially frees up resin that may be spent on leylines to farm artifacts instead
These are the concepts behind the Budget Guides and I hope it can help some of you!
