Can Kiara C4 be activated by Kinich’s Loop Shots

I currently use deepwood Thoma on my Kinich team as a shielder to protect my Serpent Spine stacks. However, I’m putting Iansan on Kinich’s team as soon as she releases, and for Cinder City to work, I need to have dendro applied to the enemy before Iansan takes the field.

I don’t want to waste Kinich’s burst before he enters Nightsoul’s blessing state, so that leaves my C4 Kirara as the best unit to apply dendro while also offering a shield thus replacing Thoma.

My only question about this is whether Kirara C4 can proc with loop shots. The constellation description says that it activates with normal attacks, but it isn’t clear to me whether or not Kinich can use Loop Shot animations to proc these (For the purposes of deepwood memories uptime).

I have Kinich C2 so losing deepwood isn’t as big of a deal as it is at C0, but I would still like to use it if possible.
