Kinich is an upcoming five-star Dendro character expected to be released in Genshin Impact’s Version 5.0 update, which will also introduce a new region, Natlan. According to leakers, he can use a claymore. If you’re interested in farming for Kinich ahead of time, here’s everything you need to gather based on leaked information.
Genshin Impact Kinich leveling, Talent and Ascension materials
Keep in mind that the information below is based on leaks and may not reflect the actual Kinich Ascension and Talent materials upon release. Take the information with a grain of salt, and know that there may be changes after Version 5.0 is rolled out.
Kinich Level-up cost
You will need Hero’s Wit and Mora to level Kinich up to 80 or 90.
| level | The Wit of a Hero | Mora |
|---|---|---|
| Level one to 80 | 248 | 987,905 |
| Level one to 90 | 420 | 1,672,530 |
Kinich Ascension materials and cost
You will have to collect 420,000 Mora and the following materials to fully Ascend Kinich to Ascension level six.
Local Specialty & Boss material
x168 Saurian Claw Succulent |
 x46 Overripe Flame Garnet |
Kinich’s local specialty and boss material are expected to be farmable in Natlan, the new region releasing alongside him in Version 5.0. According to leaks, his local specialty is called the Saurian Claw Succulent, while his boss material is the Overripe Flame Garnet, which can be farmed by the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. These cannot be pre-farmed, so you will have to wait until Version 5.0 to get them.
gems
 x1 Nagadus Emerald Sliver |
 x9 Nagadus Emerald Fragment |
 x9 Nagadus Emerald Piece |
 x6 Nagadus Emerald Gem |
As a Dendro unit, Kinich needs Nagadus Emerald materials, which are dropped by all Dendro Normal, World, and Weekly Bosses, including, but not limited to the Jadeplume Terrorshroom and Dendro Hypostasis. Additionally, you can convert materials using the Crafting Table to turn other Elemental Gems into Dendron.
Common materials
 x18 Youth Fang |
 x30 Spiced Fang |
 x36 Tyrant’s Fang |
Kinich’s common Ascension materials are believed to be the Juvenile, Seasoned, and Tyrant’s Fangs, which can be obtained from various Saurian enemies in Natlan. The Young Fang and Expert Fang can also be purchased from Paimon’s Bargains in limited quantities per month from Version 5.0 onwards.
Materials and costs of Kinich’s talent
You must have 1,652,500 Mora and the following materials to level all three Talents of Kinich to level 10. If you don’t plan on maxing out all of his Talents, it’s safe to set aside less Mora and materials.
Talented materials
 x9 Teachings of Kindling |
 x63 Kindling’s Guide |
 x114 Philosophies of Kindling |
Kinich’s Talent books can be farmed from a dedicated Domain in Natlan from Version 5.0 onwards.
Common materials
x6 Youth Fang |
x22 Spiced Fang |
x31 Tyrant’s Fang |
Common Ascension and Talent materials are always the same, so you’ll need to farm extra fangs to level up Kinich’s Talents.
Weekly Boss material & Crown of Insight
 x3 Crown of Insight |
 x18 Denial and Judgment |
You can get Insight Crowns by participating in important events in each Genshin Impact Version update. Meanwhile, leakers claim that Kinich’s Weekly Boss material is the Denial and Judgment, which is dropped by The Knave in the Scattered Ruins Domain in Mont Esus East.
