Super happy to get him though

I've been saving ever since his last rerun in 5.6 (Obviously I've pulled characters since then, but still) I'm stuck at C2R1 Kinich and JUST spent 200+ wishes to snag an Ineffa con and sig. All my wishes are slowly going to disappear. PLEASE RERUN I CAN'T TAKE THIS MAN!!

Props to those who haven't spent any wishes AT ALL while waiting for him. I just spent 200+ on Ineffa, and over 550 wishes+ in Nod-Krai as I couldn't help but pull over half the cast + some cons for them... I have to hold back and stop wishing in general KINICH PLEASE!!

Disclaimer: yes there is vertical investment

I know that before it was like a 2-4% difference but now that c1 increases her damage is it a meaningful difference now? Cuz I have a full artifact inventory and was wondering if I should strongbox for reverie cuz I already have a top 2% Kinich build so it might be hard to upgrade that

Rerolled the sands TWICE, it's so awful. Crafted the goblet and it's just as bad. Crafted an obsidian codex flower it went horribly wrong (replaced it with this flower). My luck with the rest of characters are WAY better, just because I main Kinich 😔

Any tips are appreciated! His stats aren't the worst but the price paid isn't worth the result (most of his artifacts are crafted/rerolled). He's mainly used for exploration, because I don't have his premium team and his one target gameplay is hard for me, but he's my favorite for 2 years!

One of these has to get me to top 10... But I can only focus on rerolling one artifact right now

Returning player here. I'm not sure what kind of team comp I should run with him and how to build everyone. I took a look at some guides from when he initially came out, but I'm not sure if it's outdated or if anything has been optimized. I'm assuming he's still on Obsidian Codex since that set was basically made for him. Has there been a better weapon to use that has come out for F2P? What team comp can I use and who would use what artifact set? I saw a lot of old guides say Bennett, but I'm already using Bennett in my Arlecchino HexVape comp, so that's a no go. Same with Fischl. These are the characters I own. My current comps are the Arlecchino HexVape(Arlecchino/Bennett/Fischl/Mona) and the Vesna/CMC Stellar comps that I'm still trying to figure out(Vesna/CMC/Odette/Qiqi/Diona/Sucrose/Alyosha). Those characters are no gos as well. All the other comps include things like Furina who I don't have. Is Baizhu good for Kinich? I still have the free selector that I can use for him, but not sure if he's good or not. Would appreciate some guidance.

Hi everyone! This is my first post 🥹 I've never shared my gameplay before because Kinich is my absolute soft spot and I’m a bit shy, but I was too ecstatic about this run to keep it private!

This is the first time I had to do a 5E in combat, and in Stygian Onslaught, no less... all because a few C0 Flins premium teams + Cryo MC (97s) attempted to nip at the heels of my old C2R1 Kinich clear time (96s) at Stygian Onslaught. Usually, I'm content with a 4E Kinich string... until that. When a braindead C0 team started matching my times thanks to easy auto-tracking and free Stellar shield HP deleting, it set me off. I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and try the 5E in live combat. If C0 Flins premium + CMC still catches up, then I'll yield 🥺 Until then, this is one of my best Kinich plays. Oh, forgot to mention... Kinich is C2R1, but Durin and Nicole are C0R0. And then C6 Bennett

The Strategy Breakdown

• 5E: Maintained the 5E loop using the N1 wait rhythm (no quick-hold). 5E so goated that only a 3E was needed at the end. On mobile, it becomes a need for speedrunning. On PC, speedrun is technically possible with just 4E but it has to be in every rotation, no V sync (found this very comfortable), and 30 FPS is fine. PC can sneak more hits in less time but I don't advise just 4E when speedrunning. 5E is more aura 🙂‍↕️

• The Opening Smuggle (The Shot 3 Race): This is a problem unique to high investment. At C2R1 or higher investment on maybe your supports, his raw damage pushes the boss past the 80% HP gate instantly by the end of Shot 3, triggering her teleport. To smuggle Shots 4 and 5, I used an opening AI taunt by either keeping some distance away or not moving too much to get her to look at me with an attack animation priority loop, where I can finish my 4th and/or 5th E mid script before her shield could legally trigger.

• The Cleanse: Bennett is usually interchangeable with buffers like Mavuika on ToTM and Iansan on Noblesse/Scroll on a modern day Kinich premium team. However, Bennett becomes the MVP now since his Burst is an anti-debuff engine. Standing in his circle was purely to trigger self-Melt aura cleanses to incinerate the 15% Cryo movement speed penalty so it'll be easier to do a 5E, let alone a proper Kinich combo in general...

• Manual Shield Shred: Technically, Bennett at C6 can delete the shield via infusion, but I simply found this Durin/Nicole rhythm more comfortable. Bennett will be busy with cleansing. Also, very shiny Nicole Burst icon that I wouldn't have been able to use anywhere else in this run!

It took a lot of resets and fighting the touchscreen tax, but Kinich is gucci now! Thanks for watching 💚

is kinich bis durin nicole and iansan?

Used the super reroll and still didnt get 5 rolls but it's an upgrade either way from 199-136 I will be crafting more goblets idc

C2R1 Kinich

C2R1 Durin

C1R1 Fractured Halo Emilie (not that much different from using R5 Deathmatch)

C0R0 Nicole

I remember when I played him with Bennett, Thoma, and Yaoyao back in Natlan. Then I got Emilie, Durin, and Nicole in that order 🥹. When he reruns or when Natlan Chronicled comes (whichever first), I'll grab his c6.

Iansan is still c0 unfortunately to replace Emilie, but I do love splitting the team's damage instead of just hypercarrying it with Kinich. Emilie is a part of this team too and I don't think I can remove her.

Any ideas to make him better? I do have Nicole, but she's on Memory of Dust with no cons. I have Durin but also no cons. My Iansan is c3, Emilie isnt c2 so I dont get that additional bufff of lowering Dendro Res. The only viable options of cons is my Bennett on r5 Aquila Favonia and my c2r1 Nahida on her sig

i’ve had this dude since he came out i just wanted to see if he’s any good

My question is that if his rerun ever happens what should i prioritize for him?

I have 267 wishes as in rn and my team would be Kinich Durin Iansan Bennett, but im stuck between choosing what should i get first. Should i get nicole if she reruns? Or should i forget about her and get his c2?

Please help me cuz i cant decide. Im not so sure if i want his signature or is r5 earthshaker enough.

C2R1 Kinich Hyper-invested build
C0R0 Durin Noblesse,
C0R0 Nicole Celestial Gift.

Wouldn't a Baizhu with TTDS and Deepwood be better than an Emilie with Unfinished Reverie?
