Kinich Guide

Teammates

Dendro

  • Emilie: Provides significant personal damage and benefits from the Burning reaction as well.
  • Nahida: Good AoE Dendro coverage and personal damage, the Elemental Mastery buff can be potent if used in Burgeon teams.
  • Baizhu: Fills the healer slot and increases Burning/Burgeon damage.

Pyro

  • Bennett: Significantly boosts Kinich's attack, staying inside his Elemental Burst can be challenging, but it is worth it for the damage increase Bennett provides.
  • Xiangling: Provides good off-field Pyro application that does not require any external conditions to trigger, can have high Energy Recharge requirements however.
  • Dehya/Thoma: Offer solid off-field Pyro applications in addition to helping keep the team alive.

Hydro

  • Furina: Provides strong buffs as well as personal damage, her periodic Hydro application allows Burning to exist consistently in addition to Burgeon.
  • Xingqiu/Yelan: Provide consistent Hydro application and high personal damage.

Other

Other characters can fit in Kinich's teams by providing high utility or personal damage without interfering (much) with Burning/Burgeon uptimes, some examples include:

  • Fischl/Yae: Provides strong personal damage, can take advantage of Catalyze reactions if they occur.
  • Zhongli/Kachina: Can provide strong utility for the teams in terms of shields and/or buffs.
  • Albedo/Chiori: Provide strong personal damage without reducing the Burning aura significantly.

This is not an exhaustive list of characters who work with Kinich, there are other characters who can fill similar roles in Kinich's teams!
