You will find all your owned Kins on this page
(if not all are showing, it means you own too many to be shown in the game -- take some out of your Gaia Inventory and place them in the Locker or a 2nd account)
You can give your Kins a nickname by clicking on the pencil icon next to the Kin's name (free, no cost)
You can see the Kin's Level, Stamina, Ally Points (experience) and Stats
You can equip your Kin with your Avatar in the forums (click the button "Equip with Avatar")
You can release a Kin back to the wild (you will lose the Kin forever) by clicking on the "Release" button (NOT RECOMMENDED)
Below is a screenshot with some additional info
Stamina is the energy that a Kin has
Each battle costs 1 stamina per battle
To recharge your Kin's Stamina, click on the blue "Sleep" button (in this image it says "Wake Up" because my Kin is already sleeping)
It will recharge 1 Stamina every 20 seconds (= 3 Stamina per minute) !
You won't see how much Stamina it has recharged until you click "Wake Up" (if it doesn't have enough Stamina, just click "Sleep" again)
To battle with a certain Kin, you have to add it to your Battle Party by clicking the "Bring to Battle" button (in this image it says "Remove from Party" because my Kin is already in my Battle Party)
REMINDER: you can only have 5 Kins in your Battle Party at a time
On the upper tabs you can also equip Amulets and Splice Kins (explained in a different section of this guide)
