BETTER Than Al Haitham?! Kinich FULL Guide: Best Weapons, Artifacts, Teams, Constellations

Unfortunately, Kinich is better than Alhaitam for now. I got him at C2 R1

While my Alhaitham is currently at C4 R2

And i can say that Kinich (Abyss wise) is better 😞

So did he say who's actually better in the video? Too lazy to watch please summarize

May I ask which website you used for your reference in the video?

As always I watch 6 guides and yours is the only one that really hits the mark. Only one other content creator really addressed why his burst is so important and you did the best job of explaining both why and how to build around that.

no need to pull for him or any dps that comes out when neuvi and arle exist. You only need 2 main dps's

i watched 30+ mins guide on him and still didn't understand his kit, your explanation was quick to the point and very clear i finally know how his kit functions lol. thanks, you're the goat.

Well update …. He is now c6 😂

I noticed a lot of the 5 stars in each archon area caters to the archon element

Me who rolled for Emilie but doesn't care for Kinich. Waifu over meta...

Based 🍷🍷

As always, thank you for the visual guides and making it easier to digest. I got impulsive and got Kinich;s weapon with my remaining 80 saved primos which was supposed to go on Xilonen. But thanks to your visual guides, I kinda don't regret getting how MASSIVE the increase in damage from F2P was. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I really wish Mavuika supplies consistent pyro application and massive Atk buff so Kinich won't be stealing Bennett and Xiangling (Partly I h8 her, her ugly aesthethics, and her HUGE ER requirements and funneling). This is so that Baizhu will equip Deepwood for dendro res shred and supply massive heals for Furina's fanfare stacks. Xilonen and Kazuha are anti-synergistic with Kinich so he's stuck with Furina as an actual buffer. Sure, Bennett is, but mobile enemies are such a drag and I'm tired of his circle impact, so he's not really great for him, it's just a copium everyone wants to believe since he's the only option available. That's why I really want Mavuika to come early. If we'll have to wait for the 6 champions to debut first before Mavuika, probably the core of many Natlan teams, it's gonna be exhausting coping up teammates. By the time Mavuika is released, we're all probably be very tired of using these "older" units. We might be using Mavuika more with the other 3 remaining champions since they're the "fresh" units. This happened with Cyno. He came out with little supports (ofc there are copium ones) and he does not feel good to use with a copium team (wave contents without Nahida) hence we was felt lackluster. His actual supports came in too late, he was not relevant anymore as newer units are taking the spotlight. Sure, this isn't the case for his fans. But for the new market, it's terrible. Fontaine opened with units that do not really need Furina except Neuvillette but she was coming out on the next banner. Wriothesley and Lyney want the potential kit of Mavuika more (consistent pyro application and massive atk buff) than Furina. They're not relevant anymore or no one is pulling for them (except their fans) because their team is so incomplete. No one is patient enough of half-baked units to feel good waiting for their actual supports. Unfortunately, Mualani and Kinich are dependent on the potential kit of Mavuika which will take almost on December to arrive and a barrage of new units are coming, each one being more enticing. Playing a half-filled unit for 4 months isn't great nor enticing to pull. If the trend is correct and all the 6 champions wants Mavuika, then all of them will only feel complete on December. But if Chaska is going to be Iansan's support and both of them do not rely on Mauvika like Mualani and Kinich, then they should've released them first instead of the 2 that relies on a unit 4 months away. Don't get me wrong, I have all the units mentioned, and I know personally how awful it is to use copium teams that's why I'm so pissed. I did not even tough nor explored the Scions of Canopy until Kinich was released because his "exploration" kit will be wasted if the only place he's able to fully utilize it is already explored 100%.

Yelan a good teammate for Kinich Burgeon?

I do not like his playstyle. It is too complicated for me when I tried it in his trial yesterday. So I will wait for Xilonen (and Chiori) in 5.1.

to summerize. pull him if
a) you like his style/look/gameplay
b) you have Emilie

otherwise skip.

having played a lot of mualani since natlan release i can say the following. natlan has a major problem. it's gimic is too dependent in nightsoul, and as a result outside of natlan your natlan characters are out of gas and feel really bad. it really hit home trying mualani in the abyss how situational natlan characters are. even with that massive 60% nightsoul boost this abyss, mualani was way too restricted by her nightsoul to work properly.

after testing out kinich i see the same problems down the road. he's got a fun mechanic and he's fun to play, but the nightsoul reliance is just... a major gimp outside of natlin, and in a few months when we leave the region you're going to hear a lot of complaining about how all the natlin characters (or atleast the 3 released thus far) are so bad outside of natlan. furthermore he takes the uncertainty of mualani and dials it up to 11, without emilie his dps fluxuates wildly.

I hope this isn't true with later characters released, but it does make me worry a bit.

Wait Furinas team and Emilie's team deal basically the same damage, is Emilie just useless if you have Furina?

Furina is just broken bro wtf

bro said better than al haitham 💀

i have a nice lavawalker set for him and can manage 2pc2pc whats better?
i aint farming any more domains man

in a kinich, furina, bennett, dehya team, would you recommend going for more hp or more em on dehya?

The most clickbaity of titles. Predictable

It kinda annoy me that Emilie would have to run deepwood. For whom is this set then? Just for the 2 people out there whaling Emilie and playing her on field?
I got the first time since 1.0 a complete very good set with perfect 1:2 ratio with 90% to 180% critstats with good sub rolls in atk. Her ER is quite low but with Kinnich it wouldn´t matter.
And i haven´t farmed that very long! Normaly i farm one domain the whole region and still have just below average artifacts. (Still to this day i have just one artifact surpassing 42 cv

So now i have ditch that great set for a damn bad deepwood set? The best items already carrying Nahida.
Or i have to change over and over XL items between deepwood and Emblem depending on which team. Which is kinda annoying as well.

HOYO we need an real EQ MANAGER PLEASE.

Anyway great clip as always! Good luck to all wishers!

Basically if you dont have the signature weapon he's not that good

sup GuYs !

I have a question mr.TGS. Do you have a prerecorded “Guys” sound bite ready or you record a new one every video?

Serious question though.

Alhaitham is not even A tier how is it even comparable to this kinda dmg difference? roflmao

Dont compare this kid spider with my GOATHAITHAM

so what im getting is he's waiting for the pyro archon to come out to unleash his full potential and even without her he is already pretty solid

Better than anyone. When in natlan

Ugh farming the artifacts for him and RNG has been ass....

For me having to pair with Emilie is an absolute killer, I was hoping I could go around it but she appears to be his best team mate right now...

I noticed characters from Natlan revolves around dealing screenshot damage😂

What about Baizhu as a teammate for him? Doesn't Baizhu increase burning/burgeon damage too?

its ahaw...

Just a thought here. Kinich with obsidian codex, dori or yaoyao on deep wood with role serving as battery and healer, Fischl or raiden for sub dps on golden troupe, Thomas or Bennett on scroll of the hero of cinder city. Would therefore be quick over burn team. Where dendro resonance would give some elemental mastery for some damage increase, or electro resonance for energy. Overload would consistently cause burn and periodic electro and dendro would quicken. Buffs include Dori for energy and heal, deep wood debuff, obsidian for crit, full team damage buff from scroll of hero, and finally Bennett buff (if used instead of Thomas).

Guys 🗣

Range plus fast attacks with auto target is a big thing, it makes everything so much more consistent and easier. You just keep doing damage, no time wasted running around or changing target for the next wave.

Wanderer made me understand how valuable this is and since I got him I don’t like playing any melee character unless they have immense damage.

great guide as always man!! i love watching so many different guide makers but i always really appreciate how your vids are always very concise without too much extra fluff 🙌 imo it makes it easier to come back to if i need a refresher on something while building a particular character!


oh and also i just wanted to point out that it seems like Ajaw is actually pronounced “Ah-how” so just something to keep in mind for any future vids!! 💕

With the pretty sad character lineup I have, the best team I can think of for Kinich is Bennett, Thoma/Xiangling, and Kazuha. Kazuha isn't the BEST, but being able to Swirl Pyro will help him a bit in AOE, and VV set's shred would also at least be nice.

I love Kinich so much, his design, Ajaw, his kit, his animations. A sure C2R1 for me ! Thanks for the guide :D

They keep making chars that need specific reaction to fully function and then they created a IMAGINARIUM THEATRE,😑

Is it fine guyz if I pull him and then not get xilonen?💀

Thank you TGS! I’m excited to pull for him tomorrow. I always appreciate your videos!

Guys Kinich is coming....lmao

Cant wait to pull for the queen Chevreuse 🗣️🗣️

Love chevreuse's gameplay design but shes ugly asf

I pulled Emilie for him lol. Hoping I can win 50/50 tomorrow and maybe have a shot at his weapon.
