Kinich is the third character from Natlan to arrive in the game. Mualani and Kachina arrived before him. He is a Claymore user and DPS unit who uses the Dendro element. His elemental skill helps you explore Natlan by attaching a grappling hook to a target or the air taking you anywhere you want — just like the little Yumkasaurs do.

This banner also marks by the fourth return of Raiden Shogun's banner and the first return of Chevreuse since her launch in the Version 4.3. This rerun also has Kujou Sara, who is always alongside Raiden Shogun and Thoma.

Weapon banner

The weapon banner features Kinich's signature weapon called "Fang of the Mountain King" and Raiden Shogun's weapon "Engulfing Lightning." Kinich's new weapon is an 11% Crit Rate Claymore with 741 Base Attack on level 90.

Even if you don't want Kinich, it is a great weapon for characters like Dehya, Gaming, or Diluc in teams of Burgeon or Burning.

The 4 stars' weapons in the banner are:

  • Sacrificial Bow (Bow)
  • Sacrificial Sword (Sword)
  • The Widsith (Catalyst)
  • Favonius Lance (Polearm)
  • Rainslasher (Claymore)
