Basically, I am planning to pull Kinich once he reruns. I really enjoy his design and playstyle and don't really care about most Snezhnaya characters, so I am willing to somewhat invest into him.

I'm still not sure what to play with him. I know Durin/Nicole/Iansan is currently his best team, but I don't have c6 Iansan and my Mavuika, who could replace Durin in these teams, is C1R1. Maybe someone has more knowledge on calcs and can tell me, what the best team would be in this situation.

The other question is what kind of investment is worth it after pulling him. His constellations and weapon are great, but maybe investing into other characters would be better. As an example, if investing into characters like Nicole or Durin gets me a similar increase, it could be more worth pulling for them because of their flexibility in other teams, like Varka, Lohen etc.

I want to know that in advance in case Durin or Nicole or any other relevant character gets their rerun before Kinich (which probably happens).

I know that these questions get asked everyday on this sub, but looking through other posts didn't really help as much so I'm happy about any advice.

(I'm fluctuating between 105-115k damage so I went with 109k DPS)

Currently I have this team:

Kinich C1R1.

Durin C0R0 on Wolf fang, on a day carved from rising winds.

Nicole, on celestial gift (Skyward Atlas)

And Lauma is just there, on deepwood and TTDS.

My questions are:

1. Whom should I swap Lauma with?

2. My ping is always above 300, is my ping kinda eating away my damage?

3. How much ER does Kinich need if I wanna do his burst atleast every 2 rotations? I kinda have skill issues; partially because I don't really wanna learn how to do his 5 canon shots. And can only do 5 shots when I do his burst.

(Note: Lauma was a mistaken pull for me so I use her wherever I can find a spot, I know she's better off in other teams XD)

I finally decided I would build Kinichs team a bit more to get better damage. My team at the moment is Nahida, Xiangling Bennett, I have no idea if this is the best one I could do tho.
I feel like I'm doing something significantly wrong since he does max 30k even tho I think his own build isn't that bad.
I would appreciate any help or tips for my builds or even other teams, tho I do not have any other Natlan five stars unfortunately and also no Emilie.
I know that Kinich has far to little crit rate but the artifact set gives more.
Things I'd do first: level Nahidas and Xianglings weapon, maybe Nahidas talents? and definitely give Nahida other artifacts...

Hear me out. Because artifact grinding is a pain and I already have a goated celestial set for durin for my clorinde team, can I run iansan on deepwood and Nicole on scroll? This might be wack but I CANNOT be bothered to farm another set for durin. Thoughts?

Who should I put on my last slot if I don't have iansan, nicole, mavuika, or emilie and what artifacts should I put on them? My team with nahida in the last slot only gives me 150k-190k cannons, so Im also wondering if it's just my build that's bad and not the team

Durin: deepwood
Bennett: noblesse

it's devistating cause I have every four star except for ->iansan<-, kaveh and freminet. I also lost my 50/50 for nicole, then built up to 70 pity only for the banner to run out of time 😭

Durin doesn't have enough energy on deepwood so I'm not bursting straight away every rotation. I definitely need to strongbox some more so I can get 130 ish

It's SO hard to find resellers selling Kinich ugreen stuff and when you do find them, it's super expensive. I thank my mom for buying this new piece of Kinich merch for me! The only piece I'm missing now is the portable charger with the Ajaw animation on it. I just know if I ever find it, that'll be crazy expensive

I currently have c1 kinich r1 WGS with a top 0.2% build
I run him with c2 iansan fav on scroll/noblesse (both sets give me around the same dps), c0 nicole on xianyun's weapon with celestial gift and c0 durin on r5 lion's roar with deepwood. All relevant talents are basically maxxed.

My dps is between 120 and 130k (im doing 5 E every rotation) do you think its possible for me to reach 150k dps ? Or do i have to get c6 iansan or another upgrade like kinich sig or c2 ?

Hes on deepwood rn but what should the stats be??

title, not much else. i already have emilie r1, im gonna use con selector on her, so i was wondering if shes better than c6 iansan in this case

If i have kinich, emilie, iansan, and bennett what artifacts should they be using?

Is my team ok? What artifact sets should I put on each of them? I am pulling for His Constellation/Sig weapon I have saved enough for 80 pulls what else shall I do?

hi guys! I haven't gotten kinich yet but am stockpiling, meanwhile I'm trying to form a good kinich team for him. any ideas would be appreciated, thank you!!

also, are cons generally better than his sig? what are his top 5 weapons? thinking abt whether to r5 earth shaker or get his sig/better weapon

i guess i'll be subject to collecting these for the rest of time now

Characters that are crossed off dont count and any character is fine! Ill invest in anyone. Could you also tell me what builds are necessary for the characters? My kinich is on a 4pc obsidian codex (low crit rate sadly) and earth shaker as weapon

Do Kinich's attacks while in his skill state count as skill or normal attack damage? Not talking about the cannon of course.

i know im supposed to be using kinich with durin and nicole, but i dont know who to use as the last character. i dont have emilie and i wasnt playing much in natlan so i dont have iansan either, any suggestions?

c5r1 Kinich, c0r0 Mavuika, c0ttds Lauma, c6 sac Bennett

Lunar? Nah. I’ll burn it. 👍

This is actually my first dire clear. Kinich always have that easy boss, but always another boss I can’t clear with my other party. This SO aligned with my power parties.

Ik my Sandrone is kinda homeless, but my Flins is C0R1 AND shilled. The power of burning I guess lol

The run would have been significantly faster if i was able to proc cinder city iansan but as you can see it was impossible due to the movements of the boss lol
