| Genshin Impact Kinich kit - elemental skills, burst, passive, constellations leak |
As we prepare to say goodbye to Fontaine and welcome the new region of Natlan in version 5.0, fans have been treated to teasers for the Nation of War and introduced to three new characters: Kinich, Mualani, and Kachina.
As revealed by HoYoverse, Kinich is a Dendro character. He is expected to be a 5-star healer wielding a Claymore and his constellation, "Chimaera Alebriius," may reference "alebrije," the vibrant folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures from Mexico.
Apart from the above, leaks have revealed Kinich's abilities like his elemental skills, passives, weapons, constellations, and more.

Renowned Genshin Impact leaker Full Stop Chan has shared insights into Kinich's gameplay mechanics. Kinich's Elemental Skill allows him to shoot a hook-like device at an enemy, locking onto the target and continuously attacking it while moving around the enemy. There are also rumors that he will be the next Dendro DPS character, focusing on elemental reactions like Bloom and Burning. This could make Kinich an exciting addition, as his abilities may have unique interactions with these Dendro reactions.
Now let's look at the details of Genshin Impact Kinich kit information revealed by new 5.0 leaks. This includes his elemental skills, constellations, passive abilities, bursts, and normal attacks.
Genshin Impact Kinich's Normal Attack: Nightsun Style
- Normal Attack: Performs up to 3 rapid strikes. After using his Elemental Skill "Canopy Hunter: Riding High"'s mid-air swing attack, he can perform a mid-air Normal Attack before landing.
- Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount to spin and throw his Claymore forward to attack opponents.
- Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Genshin Impact Kinich's Elemental Skill. Canopy Hunter: Riding High
Kinich uses his big-game hunting skills to either move swiftly or attack his opponent.
When no opponents are nearby, he fires a grappling hook forward and swings in mid-air, and this Skill's CD decreases by 60%. When an opponent is present, he will fire the hook at the target opponent and enter Nightsoul's Blessing at 0 Nightsoul points.
Can be Held. When Held, he 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:
- Using a Normal Attack will perform a loop shot around the grapple target based on current movement direction, dealing Dendro DMG with the Nightsoul attribute and generating 3 Nightsoul points. Mid-air swing 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 Dendro DMG with the Nightsoul attribute. When "Scalespiker Cannon" is held, Kinich can take aim at his target. After firing the Cannon, Kinich will try to grapple to its target.
While in Nightsoul's Blessing, Kinich will generate a Dead Zone beside an opponent he has grappled to or fired the Cannon at. When he enters this Zone, it will be canceled, and Kinich will gain 4 Nightsoul points.
If the grapple connection should snap due to exceeded distance or some other reason, using a Normal Attack will establish a new connection with a nearby opponent before performing a loop shot.
"All things come with a cost. I suggest you make a suitable offer... What? No, I don't do installments."
Genshin Impact Kinich's Elemental Burst: Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord
Unleashes the power of Ajaw the Almighty Dragonlord (on a limited, conditional, restricted, contractual, partial, temporary basis), dealing AoE Dendro DMG. Ajaw will unleash his dragon-breath at intervals, dealing AoE Dendro DMG.
If Kinich is in Nightsoul's Blessing when this is used, this Blessing's duration is extended by 2s.
"Yes, yes! You stand before K'uhul Ajaw the Almighty Dragonlord! Come forward, then! Kneel, and kiss our feet!"
Genshin Impact Kinich's Passives
Passive 1: The Price of Desolation
When in Nightsoul's Blessing, opponents hit by Kinich's Elemental Skill DMG will enter the Desolation state, and when affected by Burning or Burgeon reaction DMG, they will restore 7 Nightsoul points to him. Nightsoul points can be gained this way once every 0.8s. The Desolation state will persist until this instance of Kinich's Nightsoul's Blessing ends.
Passive 2: Flame Spirit Pact
When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Kinich will gain 1 stack of Hunter's Experience that lasts 15s, max 2 stacks. When Kinich uses Canopy Hunter: Riding High's Scalespiker Cannon, all stacks will be consumed, with each stack increasing the DMG dealt by this Cannon shot by 320% of Kinich's ATK.
Passive 2: Night Realm's Gift: Repaid in Full
When Kinich is in the air following Canopy Hunter: Riding High's mid-air swing, he can consume 10 Phlogiston points to perform another mid-air swing.
While in an area with Phlogiston Device(s) within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Kinich. When the current active character is sprinting, in movement states that result from specific Talents, or a certain height in the air, switching to Kinich will trigger the following: Kinich will fire a grappling hook and swing. Kinich will prioritize valid Coilgrass Sigils as grapple targets. He can use Nightsoul Transmission once every 10s.
When interacting with Coilgrass Sigils and other items that can interact with Yumkasaurs, "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.
Genshin Impact Kinich's Constellations
C1. Parrot's Beak
- After Kinich lands from Canopy Hunter: Riding High's mid-air swing, his Movement SPD will increase by 20% for 5s.

C4. Hummingbird's Feather

C5. Howler Monkey's Tail
- Increases the Level of Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord by 3. The maximum upgrade level is 15.

- Type: Claymore
- Base ATK: 46
- CRIT Rate: 7.2%
- Turquoise Hunt
Gain 1 Canopy's Favor stack after hitting an opponent with an Elemental Skill. This can be triggered once every 0.5s; After a nearby party member triggers a Burning or Burgeon reaction, the equipping character will gain 3 stacks. This effect, in turn, can be triggered once every 2s and can be triggered even when the character is off-field. Canopy's Favor: Elemental Skill and Burst DMG is increased by 20% for 6s. Max 6 stacks. Each stack is counted independently.
Kinich, a Huitztlan saurian hunter from Natlan, is portrayed as a somewhat cruel, ruthless, and utilitarian member of society. However, there are rumors suggesting that beneath this exterior, he has a soft heart. While these leaks provide a good overview of what to expect, it’s important to wait for official announcements for the most accurate information.
For now, we know that Kinich will be added as a playable character in the Genshin Impact 5.0 banner, scheduled for release on August 28, 2024. And he will debut alongside two other characters from Natlan: Mualani and Kachina.
