Kinich has finally arrived in 5.0 Genshin Impact, and he’s stronger than I (and probably others) assumed he’d be, for several reasons. Naturally, this video will discuss all of those reasons, go over his intricate mechanics and how best to play him, plus it’ll dive a bit into his best teams and how to tailor your rotations for him!

Important notes:
Kinich’s damage IS inflated by the current Abyss blessing, so do not take numbers in abyss as final / consistently achievable numbers. That isn’t to say to disregard his performance, because it’s still great — just set realistic expectations. 🙂
ALSO, regarding Bennett, I should’ve better stated that I am aware his buff lingers on Kinich, it’s just that there ARE situations you will run into sometimes wherein you are forced to choose to reach for a blind spot or stay in Bennett’s circle, and that issue can be solved in the future if other powerful pyro buffers come out that aren’t restricted by zones — it was not a knock or a jab at Bennett, lol
very satisfied with kinich. I find his gameplay very fun and he's very strong. Not to mention we can't even utilize his second passive yet he'll only get stronger from here
I cannot find for the life of me find the version of the song played at the very end of the video. I get it is yelan's theme but the violin and quality is very good and i cannot seem to find it
wait kinich national?
Friendly reminder if you're testing him in the current abyss: His damage is a bit inflated by the current abyss blessing (80% skill dmg for natlan characters).
Although I guess it kinda balances out with the enemies we got in first half, who have a lot of dendro resistance (the chicken and the mountain king (i think))
What grinds my gears the most is he wields a claymore but you’ll never use it
The entire region power creeps world exploration.Even the enemies power creep Kazuha's movement's
so sad he can't drive beidou 😭
14:23 you can run them together overworld. chaining kazuha skill into the swap swing in natlan is insanely fun.
And the pyro archon doesn't seem like a support unit if anything she's either a dps or off field dps
Just a tip for every one : when you shot your first cannon there's a split second blink that indicates where the blindspot will appear next, and while aiming your cannon try to stay still on your controller so that you will have easy maneuvering to the blindspot right away.
in fact I like his existence makes dehya raised up for now!
word on the street is that the current max is 6 cannons in a burning team (CAN WE GET A 7TH?)
Scara klee and eula are powerful? What? 😂😂😂😂. Xiao, arlecchino and navia on the corner be like. Are we joke to u?
me with double geo + kinich + dehya because I hate getting damaged 😆
It's kind of funny how people interpret things differently because at least one CC specifically said Bennett was a great teammate BECAUSE of the circle impact since Kinich is also in a circle. I don't play Bennett but I do see others mentioned the whole affect lingering thing, which is whatever. I'm expecting Mavuika or another pyro applicator to be a better support for him anyway, because of the night soul burst passive talent thing he has. His best supports will be here soon enough.
I haven't found myself getting too far from enemies so I'm assuming it's an issue with lacking experience in his playstyle. Like people moving around more than necessary. The only time I experienced any confusion was in his trial because I don't think they chose the best layout for his abilities nor the best enemies (hydro slimes and then waves of large enemies???)
I like Ajaw way more than Paimon I fear
I skipped Emilie for him but I’ll be trying for her rerun, excited to have both of them
I like his play style but for the current release, Mualani does higher damage for her vape
He needs Furina, and maybe Bennett
ty for not having that annoying youtuber voice🩷
You have such good insights on kinich that i have yet to see from any other youtubers, sub for that 👍👍
I know its unrelated, but i couldnt help but notice you using fischl against PMA at the start. Many people dont know this, but PMA has some weird hitbox stuff that results in Fischl's A4 passive completely whiffing against it, greatly lowering her dmg output.
i thought ure gg to touch regarding his A4 ?!! Because he's not in full potential right cos no one can activates it. He's waiting for he's own support from Natlan ! Its 320% more canon dmg !
Hope Mavuika fill up this role
I'm sure that with the release of Mavuika we're going to see the full potential of Kinich
Me to Kinich: "You may have Flap and the rich lady under your spell, but it's gonna take more than that to impress m-"
Ajaw appears OOOHhhhhhhhuugghhhhhhhh
Even though he is doing good damage, his playstyle makes me motionsick. Basically the same reason why I hate Xiao. Also dude moves out of Bennett's circle impact which is basically another super annoying aspect of him. He is also super wonky with Xiangling's pyronado. I just don't like how flakey and wonky he is. Plus I am sick of edgelord teens.
For the teams, wouldn't it be better to give deepwood to Emilie instead of Xiangling?
