Best Kinich Weapons In Genshin Impact (Ranked)

Kinich is a 5-star Dendro Claymore character and one of the strongest Main DPS units in the game. He is featured in the 2nd phase of Genshin Impact, next to Raiden Shogun. Kinich favors the Burgeon and Burning elemental reaction and with Kinich’s best build, you defeat every challenge in the game with relative ease. Picking the correct claymore plays a big role in making his best build work. So, here I have ranked the best weapons for Kinich in Genshin Impact.

5. Verdict

Verdict is one of the better Claymore options for Kinich due to the high base Crit Stat. Other than that, this weapon also increases the Attack of the wielder by 20%. However, the main part of this weapon’s kit requires the Crystalize reaction to function, so you will need a Geo character in the team to make the best of this weapon on Kinich, which is not recommended. Still, the weapon gives a good Crit rate and Attack increase, which are all good stats for Kinich.

4. Beacon of the Reed Sea

Beacon of the Reed Sea also has a high base Crit Rate, making it a great weapon option for Kinich. Furthermore, this weapon gives a 20% Attack boost to the wielder for 8 seconds after their Elemental Skill hits an opponent. This weapon also increases the Attack by another 20% when the wielder takes damage, and health by 32% when the wielder doesn’t have a shield. Overall, this is a great weapon choice for Kinich, but it the not the best option.

3. Earth Shaker

Earth Shaker is the new craftable Claymore in Natlan and it is the best Free-to-Play weapon for Kinich. This weapon gives a 27.6% Attack increase to the wielder. Additionally, when the wearer triggers a Pyro-related reaction, their Elemental Skill damage is increased by 16% (32% at R5). This weapon works best at Refinement 5, so make sure to reach that before equipping it on Kinich. Other than that, the Pyro elemental reaction part of the weapon’s kit is perfect for Kinich as Kinich works best in Burgeon teams.

2. Serpent Spine

Serpent Spine is the best Claymore alternative for Kinich. This weapon has a high base Crit Rate of 27.6% and increases the wielder’s damage by 6% (10% at R5) for every 4 seconds they are on the field, stacking up to 5 times. However, this weapon also increases the damage taken by the wielder, making it best with highly skilled players. If you have trouble dodging damage from enemies, then simply use Zhongli if you have him to keep Kinich safe.

1. Fang of the Mountain King

Fang of the Mountain King is the best Claymore for Kinich and also his signature weapon. This weapon has a high base attack of 741 and 11% Crit Rate bonus, which are perfect for Kinich. The base attack is the highest for any weapon in Genshin Impact, making it an extremely strong option for other Claymore users as well who scale on Attack. Additionally, the weapon increases the Elemental Skill and Burst damage by 10% (max 5 stacks) for each stack of Canopy’s Favor on Kinich. He gets these stacks by either hitting the enemies with his elemental skill or having the Burning or Burgeon reaction triggered near him.
