The Genshin Impact community has received several leaks from FouL regarding Kinich's potential kit. FouL is a reliable source in the community with a great track record of accurately releasing information about character kits, gameplay leaks, and more. Below is a brief about Kinich based on recent rumors.

Kinich Elemental Skill

Kinich can cast his Elemental Skill to swing with his grappling hook when no enemies are around. When in combat, he can tap or hold to cast his skill for different functions. Here is a quick overview of the latest Genshin Impact leaks:

  • Tap Version: Grapple enemy and activate Night Spirit Enhancement
  • Hold version: Same as Tap version but allows you to choose a direction.

The Night Spirit Enhancement lasts for 10 seconds providing points to Night Spirt value which caps at 20. In this state, Kinich has enhanced normal attacks performing rotating shots to deal Dendro damage, generates Night Spirit value, and is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

When Night Spirit is capped, cast Elemental Skill to launch bombs/shells at enemies or hold the skill to select an enemy to link with them and release bombs. When the link is broken, you can use his enhanced normal attacks to re-attach with enemies.

Kinich Elemental Burst

With a 70 energy cost, Kinich can cast his Elemental Burst to unleash the Ajaw's power where the companion will periodically deal AoE Dendro DMG. This lasts for 10 seconds with an 18-second cooldown. He can extend Night Spirit Enhancement by two seconds by casting his burst.

According to the FouL kit leaks, the Elemental Burst is similar to Navia's, meaning Kinich can go off-field and the burst would still be active until the duration ends.


Kinich Talents

Kinich has three ascension passive or talents as per the latest Genshin Impact leaks. Here is a quick overview:

  • When in Night Spirit Enhancement state, grants Night Spirit value when Elemental Skill triggers Burn/Bloom reaction
  • Gain special effects when the team triggers Night Spirit Burst. Releasing bombs consumes the special effect to increase the bomb's damage.
  • Consume fuel (stamina/night spirit) to swing again. Switching to Kinich when performing movement abilities will launch a grappling hook to swing. Can be triggered once every 10 seconds. When interacting with Scroll Leaf Seal (unofficial TL) swings activated via Elemental Skill will not enter cooldown.

Kinich Signature Weapon

The latest leaks from FouL also share information about Kinich's signature weapon. Here is a quick overview of its stats and passive effects:

  • Base ATK (Lvl 90): 608
  • CRIT-Rate (Lvl 90): 33.1%
  • Passive Effect: Gain one stack when Elemental Skill hits and three stacks when anyone triggers Burning or Burgeon reactions. Each stack increases skill and burst damage by 10% up to six stacks. Each stack lasts for six seconds and is calculated independently.

Kinich Constellations

Here is a quick overview of Kinich constellations:

  • C1: Increase bomb/shell DMG
  • C2: Reduce enemy Dendro RES
  • C6: Bomb/shell turns into "catapult"

Players can expect C3 and C5 to enhance skill and burst damage. However, there is no information about C4 at the moment.
