Talent Priority:

  • His normal attack is the one leveled the most to deal the maximum Plunging Attack damage possible.

  • His Elemental Skill can be leveled up a bit.

  • His Elemental Burst should also be leveled as much as possible since it can deal great damage.

The ideal setup would be 10/6/9 in terms of Talents.

  • Constellations will come naturally for free, it simply doesn’t matter which one you have, he works perfectly at C0.

Video Summary

Diluc Build Guide

This Diluc build guide explores the legendary Pyro carry and his evolution into a powerful plunging attack DPS. By leveraging his synergy with Xianyun, Diluc can reach new heights of damage through optimized rotations and specific gear choices.

Best Weapons

  • Wolf's Gravestone: This iconic claymore remains a top choice for a Diluc build due to its massive attack buffs. It provides significant raw power that benefits his entire kit, especially when triggering the passive against low-health enemies.
  • Beacon of the Reed Sea: This weapon is an excellent option for balancing stat priorities by providing a high Critical Rate. It allows for more flexible artifact farming while offering consistent attack bonuses when taking damage or using elemental skills.
  • Serpent Spine: A premier choice for those seeking high damage output through its stacking damage buff. It is particularly effective when Diluc is protected by shields, making it one of the best weapons for maximizing his personal DPS.
  • Rainslasher: This claymore is highly effective in vaporize team comps where enemies are constantly affected by Hydro. It provides valuable Elemental Mastery and a damage bonus against enemies affected by Hydro or Electro.

Best Artifacts

  • Crimson Witch of Flames: This is the definitive choice among artifact sets because Diluc can fully activate all three stacks of the four piece bonus. It significantly boosts Pyro damage and reaction damage for his traditional vaporize playstyle.
  • Gilded Dreams: A strong alternative for players focusing on high Elemental Mastery within vaporize teams. This set helps optimize reaction damage when Diluc is paired with consistent Hydro enablers like Xingqiu or Yelan.

Teams and Stat Priorities

  • For optimal stat priorities, aim for 70 percent to 80 percent Critical Rate, 200 percent Critical Damage, and at least 100 Elemental Mastery, while maintaining an ER target of 110 percent to 115 percent.
  • The Plunging Vaporize team featuring Diluc, Xianyun, Bennett, and Furina utilizes the new meta to maximize Diluc's plunging attack multipliers. This composition provides massive buffs, healing, and consistent Hydro application for high damage ceilings.
  • A classic Vaporize team with Diluc, Xingqiu, Bennett, and Kazuha focuses on traditional elemental reactions and resistance shred. This setup uses Viridescent Venerer to reduce enemy Pyro resistance while providing stable Hydro application for consistent vaporize procs.
