Canopy Hunter: Riding High

Last updated 2026-09-09

"All things come with a cost. I suggest you make a suitable offer... What? No, I don't do installments."

Canopy Hunter: Riding High is Kinich's Elemental Skill.

Gameplay Notes

  • When Scalespiker Cannon hits at least one enemy, it generates 5 Elemental Particles.
    • This particle generation can only be triggered once per Nightsoul's Blessing.
  • Blind Spots always spawn perpendicular to the direction the player is facing relative to the grappled target.
    • The Blind Spot is a circular sector with a central angle of around 70°.
    • For the first Blind Spot, if the enemy is on the left side of the screen, The Blind Spot will be on the right side of the enemy (with respect to Kinich), and vice versa.
    • Kinich Blind Spot Spawn Locations
  • If no movement direction is inputted for Kinich's Loop Shots, he will loop around the grappled target automatically based on the enemy's position on the screen.
    • If the enemy is on the left side of the screen, Kinich will loop around counter-clockwise, and vice versa.
    • Due to this, the auto movement will make Kinich take a shorter path into the Blind Spot if the enemy is kept on one side of the screen.
  • Scalespiker Cannon will be fired faster when Held.
  • Kinich is immune to Fall DMG for 5 seconds after using this skill to swing in mid-air.
  • If there are no opponents nearby while Kinich is in Nightsoul's Blessing, he will be able to glide and use Normal Attacks. However, he will still not be able to use Charged Attacks or Plunging Attacks.
  • For the duration which Kinich glows after grappling into the air, he is considered to be in the Nightsoul's Blessing state.
  • Kinich's Loop Shots allow movement over the surface of water and Liquid Phlogiston. However, using Scalespiker Cannon will still cause him to fall.
