Dendro has established itself as a dominant element in Genshin Impact's meta since its introduction with the Sumeru region. While the element boasts powerful characters, particularly for off-field Dendro application, such as Nahida and the recently-released Emilie, the element has lacked a broad selection of main DPS options, with Alhaitham being one of the few notable exceptions. This changes with the arrival of Kinich, the second 5-star character from Natlan, designed to be a Dendro DPS character with a unique mechanic centered around the Nightsoul system in Genshin Impact.
