5 best Kinich team comps in Genshin Impact

Kinich is a new 5-star Dendro unit releasing in the second half of Genshin Impact 5.0. He is a Claymore user and is a standard DPS unit that can add a lot of value to your team. Kinich is an on-field character who scales off ATK, making him pretty easy to build. His utility as an on-field DPS unit also means that he can fit into a lot of teams and still maintain his high personal damage.

Kinich's kit mechanics make it so that his best teams will comprise Burning/Burgeon teams, but that doesn't mean you cannot use him in other team compositions. Read on to know more about the different team comps that Kinich can fit well into, to maximize his damage potential as a Dendro DPS character.

Here are the five best Kinich team compositions in Genshin Impact

1) Kinich, Emilie, Xiangling, Bennett

This is Kinich's best Burning team, which lets him fully utilize his kit mechanics and increase his damage. Being an ATK-scaling unit, Kinich can benefit from Bennett's ATK buff. You can equip the standard 4-piece Noblesse Oblige set on Bennett, or switch to the new Natlan support set Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City.

Emilie's presence in this team can help Kinich deal more damage, as his passive allows him to dish out damage faster when attacking enemies affected by Burning or Burgeon. Emilie can hold the 4-piece Deepwood Memories artifact set for Dendro RES shred, which will massively boost Kinich's damage.

2) Kinich, Nahida, Xiangling, Bennett

This is Kinich's second-best Burning team, which replaces Emilie with Nahida since a lot of players might not have pulled for a rather niche character like Emilie. Make sure you have the 4-piece Deepwood Memories artifact set equipped on Nahida. This team will also provide an extra 25% ATK buff for the entire party thanks to Pyro Elemental Resonance.

3) Kinich, Furina, Dehya, Bennett

As far as Burgeon teams go, this is a solid option for Kinich. Apart from Burgeon reactions, Furina's presence in the team can help trigger occasional Vaporize reactions as well. Furina can also buff the entire team's damage, thus also increasing Kinich's damage output.

Since you will not be relying on Dehya's damage in this team, you can equip the 4-piece Deepwood Memories artifact set on her for extra Dendro RES shred which will be very helpful to Kinich. In case you do not have Dehya, you can always use Xiangling in her place. In such a scenario, remember to also swap out Bennett with Baizhu, so he can hold the Deepwood Memories artifact set instead.

4) Kinich, Yelan, Thoma, Bennett

You can also consider this team as another option amongst Kinich's Burgeon teams. Yelan's passive can buff Kinich's overall DMG, and her Hydro application is also reliable enough to trigger Bloom reactions that can enable subsequent Burgeon reactions.

Consider equipping Thoma with the 4-piece Deepwood Artifact set, and Bennett with the new 4-piece Natlan support artifact set Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City. You can also swap Yelan for Xingqiu in this team comp in case you do not have Yelan.

5) Kinich, Xingqiu, Nahida, Kuki Shinobu

While this team won't be as strong as Kinich's Burning or Burgeon teams, you can still use it for decent damage output. Kuki Shinobu can reliably trigger Hyperbloom in this team, with Xingqiu providing steady Hydro application and Nahida dealing AoE Dendro DMG.

You can also swap Xingqiu with Yelan if you don't mind a little less Hydro application in exchange for the damage buff that Yelan will bring to the table. Do remember to equip the 4-piece Deepwood Memories artifact set on Nahida.
