Kinich Overview
Kinich Ka Kit focuses on his Elemental Skill, Canopy Hunter: Riding High. This skill lets him fire a grappling hook at enemies and spin around them. While spinning, he can use a normal attack, which will launch Loop Shots that deal Nightsoul-aligned Dendro damage and generate 3 Nightsoul points. Additionally, his skill increases resistance to interruptions.
A great feature of this skill is that it helps with exploration, making quick travel easier. After using the skill, Kinich enters a state called Nightsoul’s Blessing, where he stays for 10 seconds, generating 2 Nightsoul points each second. If he reaches 20 Nightsoul points, he fires a special cannon shot that deals damage.
To gain more Nightsoul points, you can perform normal attacks or Loop Shots on enemies. His first passive talent, The Price of Desolation, gives 7 Nightsoul points when fighting burning and burgeon enemies.
His Elemental Burst, Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord, deals a good amount of AoE Dendro damage to enemies. He summons a little dragon pet named K’uhul Ajaw, which also deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Dendro damage. Using his Burst can extend the duration of Nightsoul’s Blessing by 1.7 seconds. This means that if you use his skill first and then his Burst, the skill’s uptime will increase. His second passive talent, Nightsoul’s Blessing, helps increase the damage of his skill.

Kinich Talents
Normal Attack
Nightsun Style
Normal Attack
Executes up to 3 quick strikes. After using the Elemental Skill “Canopy Hunter: Riding High” to swing through the air, a Normal Attack can be performed mid-air before landing.
Charged Attack
Consumes stamina to spin and throw the Claymore forward, dealing damage to enemies in its path.
Plunging Attack
Dives from mid-air to hit the ground below, damaging enemies along the way and dealing AoE damage upon impact.
Elemental Skill
Canopy Hunter: Riding High
Kinich uses his big-game hunting skills to either move swiftly or attack his opponent.
When there is an opponent or object that can be attacked nearby, he will attach a grappling hook to the target and enter Nightsoul’s Blessing with 0 Nightsoul points. If neither is nearby, he fires a grappling hook forward and swings in mid-air, and this Skill’s CD is decreased by 60%.
This skill can be Held to release. When it is Held, Kinich can aim the grappling hook.
Nightsoul’s Blessing: Kinich
Kinich’s Nightsoul’s Blessing lasts 10s and generates 2 Nightsoul points every second.
In this state, Kinich will hook onto a nearby opponent and perform a variable attack:
·When using a Normal Attack, Kinich will fire Loop Shots as he loops around the grappled target based on his current movement direction, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG and generating 3 Nightsoul points. Loop Shot DMG is considered Elemental Skill DMG.
·When Nightsoul points are at max, he can use the Elemental Skill “Scalespiker Cannon”: Consume all Nightsoul points to deal Nightsoul-aligned Dendro DMG. When “Scalespiker Cannon” is Held, Kinich can aim this shot. After firing the Cannon, Kinich will try to grapple to its target.
While in Nightsoul’s Blessing, after grappling an opponent or firing “Scalespiker Cannon,” a Blind Spot will be generated next to the opponent. When Kinich enters this Blind Spot, it will disappear and he will generate 4 Nightsoul points.
If the grapple connection should snap due to exceeding the maximum distance or some other reason, using a Normal Attack will establish a new connection with a nearby opponent before performing Loop Shots.
Elemental Burst
Hail to the Almighty Dragonlord
Summons the power of the Almighty Dragonlord, K’uhul Ajaw, to deal AoE Dendro DMG aligned with Nightsoul. Ajaw periodically unleashes Dragon Breath, dealing additional AoE Dendro DMG.
If Kinich is in Nightsoul’s Blessing when using this skill, the duration of Nightsoul’s Blessing is extended by 1.7 seconds.
Kinich Passive Skills
Ascension Passive
Swift Envoy
In areas with Phlogiston Mechanics in Natlan, interacting with harvestable items boosts your party’s Movement Speed by 15% for 10 seconds. Additionally, the locations of nearby Natlan-exclusive resources will be marked on your mini-map.
Ascension Passive
Night Realm’s Gift: Repaid in Full
When Kinich is in the air following Canopy Hunter: Riding High’s mid-air swing, he can consume 10 Phlogiston points to perform another mid-air swing.
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Kinich. When the current active character is sprinting, in movement states that result from specific Talents, or in the air, when you switch to Kinich: Kinich will perform one of the following actions depending on the conditions met:
·When facing a Coilgrass Sigil that can be interacted with: He will fire a grappling hook towards it to move;
·When there are nearby opponents and you are in combat: Kinich will use Canopy Hunter: Riding High in the direction of the opponents;
Otherwise, Kinich will fire a grappling hook and swing, prioritizing valid Coilgrass Sigils as grapple targets.
Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own party.
When interacting with Coilgrass Sigils and other items that Yumkasaurs can interact with, “Canopy Hunter: Riding High” will be converted to “Yumkasaur Mimesis,” which causes interactions with such items to follow rules applicable to Yumkasaurs, and which will not put Canopy Hunter: Riding High on CD.
Ascension Passive
The Price of Desolation
