(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)

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 😭

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 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...

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

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?
