Best 5-star weapons for Kinich in Genshin Impact

1) Fang of the Mountain King

• Base ATK: 741
• Second stat: 11% CRIT Rate

Fang of the Mountain King is Kinich's signature weapon and is easily his best option in Genshin Impact. After equipping this Claymore, hitting an enemy with Elemental Skill or triggering a Burning or Burgeon reaction will give the wielder up to six stacks of Canopy's Favor. Each stack increases the user's Elemental Skill and Burst DMG by 10%.

2) Beacon of the Reed Sea

• Base ATK: 608
• Second stat: 33.1% CRIT Rate

Beacon of the Reed Sea is a good option for Kinich, as it provides a decent amount of CRIT Rate bonus. Additionally, the weapon's passive significantly boosts the wielder's ATK when their Elemental Skill hits an opponent or when they take DMG. Using Beacon of the Reed Sea with Obsidian Codex artifact on Kinich will also let you build more CRIT DMG on him.

3) Verdict

• Base ATK: 674
• Second stat: 22.1% CRIT Rate

Verdict is also a good stat stick for Kinich in Genshin Impact. It has a pretty high Base ATK and provides a good amount of CRIT Rate bonus. The weapon's passive also gives another 20% ATK boost. However, the remaining skill effect won't be as effective since it requires triggering the Crystalized reaction.

Similar to Beacon of the Reed Sea, using Verdict with the Obsidian Codex artifact will make it easy for you to build Kinich and focus more on stats like CRIT DMG.

4) Redhorn Stonethresher

Redhorn Stonethresher is one of the best 5-star weapons for Kinich. It has a huge 88.2% CRIT DMG second stat bonus, making it an amazing stat stick. Unfortunately, the passive effect might not be that useful on Kinich.

Best 4-star weapons for Kinich in Genshin Impact

1) Serpent Spine

Serpent Spine is the best 4-star weapon for Kinich in Genshin Impact. It provides a lot of CRIT Rate from its second stat and the weapon's passive significantly boosts the wielder's DMG. However, it can only be obtained from the Battle Pass, so it is not accessible to everyone.

2) Earth Shaker

• Base ATK: 565
• Second stat: 27.6% ATK

Earth Shaker is a Natlan craftable weapon and Kinich's best F2P option. It provides a lot of ATK to its wielder from its second stat. In addition, the weapon's passive boosts the user's Elemental Skill DMG after a party member triggers a Pyro-related reaction.

3) Mailed Flower

• Base ATK: 565
• Second stat: 110 Elemental Mastery

Mailed Flower is another good 4-star weapon option for the Saurian Hunter. It has Elemental Mastery second stat and its passive further boosts the wielder's ATK and Elemental Mastery.

Luckily, it is an event weapon so most old players are expected to have it at max refinement rank. That said, it won't be accessible to those who started playing after Genshin Impact 3.5.
