Meet Kinu: The newly-arrived Fairy Godparent in Temtem: Swarm!

Patch 0.6 launched at the start of the month, and we can now safely talk about it without spoiling anybody! Get ready to know more about Kinu, the forest protector that will keep you and your team safe and sound!

[h2]Let's Talk Moves[/h2]

Kinu’s playstyle is all about helping others around it, and itself, by keeping the Swarm controlled and under wraps and the health bars topped up. Albeit squishy, every time it revives it becomes more durable by increasing its Max HP, so you can be a bit daring even despite its fragility.

With Kinu’s introduction into the game, that also brought a slew of Nature techniques, so let’s dive into those:

Resin Trap
A gooey nightmare for enemies where Kinu scatters resin that deals damage and locks the swarm in place, making them an easier target for Kinu and its allies. Not the kind of sticky situation they were hoping for!


Roots
A tangle of trouble! These creeping roots slow down enemies and deal constant damage. Kinu’s way of saying, “Take it easy... or else.”


Revitalize
Kinu’s signature support move! A healing zone that restores health to both Kinu and any allies inside. Because teamwork makes the dream work. Don’t miss out on its powerful synergy that knocks enemies out of the healing area, giving you and your teammates some respite.


Sharp Leaf
When healing isn’t enough, Kinu hurls a razor-sharp leaf at enemies. Remember, never underestimate the dangers of Nature!


Being a dual type Tem, Kinu has access to techniques from the Mental side of things. So, it can also be a pure powerhouse of damage using techniques like Ignis Fatuus and Psy Wave.

[h2]What about that Ultimate?[/h2]
The ultimate gamble, and the move that really drives Kinu’s playstyle home, Vital Power! Kinu sacrifices most of its own health, dropping to 15%, but in return, it unleashes a devastating blast that hits everything in sight. Risky? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Plan carefully, as with great power comes great responsibility.


We hope we piqued your interest towards this particular forest guardian and its tremendous value against the Swarm! This is all we’re sharing about Kinu today, but we definitely encourage you to take Nature into your own hands by choosing Kinu in your next Temtem: Swarm match. Will you be your teammates’ angle, or the Swarm’s devil?

See you next time when we crack open the Temtem vault and unleash another awesome Tem for you to master in Temtem: Swarm!
