With the impending arrival of version 6.2 of Genshin Impact, datamines and community leaks have begun surfacing proposed “trial teams” centred on the newly-released character Durin, pointing toward strong synergy with both classic and newly updated roster members. Two line-ups in particular Durin, Klee, Albedo, Bennett and Venti, Durin, Faruzan, Bennett are generating considerable buzz as top-tier picks for the end-game meta.
🔥 Team 1: Durin / Klee / Albedo / Bennett
This composition blends Pyro burst damage with Geo support and strong healing/buffer utility. Klee serves as the main on-field damage dealer, exploiting Pyro-based reactions. Durin meanwhile acts as a powerful buffer/support (or off-field DPS) leveraging his kit to heighten reaction damage. Albedo contributes consistent Geo application, off-field shield or burst support, and domain control. Bennett remains the go-to for healing and attack boosting, making him nearly mandatory in many high-value comps especially for characters like Klee.
This synergy allows for sustained Pyro-reaction dominance in fields such as the Stygian Onslaught or Spiral Abyss, while still maintaining flexibility for respawning groups and exploration.
💨 Team 2: Venti / Durin / Faruzan / Bennett
The second set shifts the focus toward crowd-control and reaction-support. Venti offers massive Anemo grouping capabilities and makes reaction chaining far easier through his strong suck-in mechanic. Durin remains the Pyro anchor, while Faruzan adds an Anemo-support layer with improved off-field utility, elemental mastery buffs, or damage scaling for certain reaction teams. Bennett continues to provide healing and attack amplification making this team more reaction-centric, ideal for clearing large mobs or tackling exploration and abyss floors featuring dense enemy clusters.
This composition emphasises consistent application of Pyro, coupled with Anemo swirl mechanics and optimal buff uptime, giving high ceilings for skilled players to exploit.
🎮 What this means for the 6.2 Meta
These leaked trial teams hint at a few major take-aways for players looking ahead to update 6.2:
Durin is being positioned as a core support/turn-carry in more than one highly competitive team. His kit leaks show strong reaction enhancement and team buff capabilities.
The inclusion of both classic characters (Bennett, Albedo, Venti) and newer rosters (Faruzan) indicates that HoYoverse is focusing on meta compositions that bridge the old roster with new units, ensuring broader player access.
Reaction-based damage remains central to the meta. Both teams lean into reliable reaction triggers (Pyro + Geo, Pyro + Anemo/Swirl) rather than pure raw DPS, signalling a shift toward more utility and synergy-driven play rather than brute power.
These trial teams offer solid “go-to” line-ups for those planning ahead. If you have Klee, Albedo, Venti or Bennett, you may already be halfway meta-ready for 6.2, thanks to the addition of Durin as a key pivot.
🧭 Strategy Tips for Players
Prioritise reaction timing: In the first team, focus on maximizing Klee’s Pyro bursts while Durin applies supporting buffs effectively. Albedo should drop his off-field skills to keep the Geo like field stable.
In the second team, use Venti and Faruzan to cluster enemies and enable Durin’s pyro applications to hit multiple targets for better efficiency.
Artifact sets, weapons and constellations will matter: Since Durin’s role seems support/buffer-oriented, he may benefit from off-field damage scaling artifacts and weapon enhancements that boost his aura or buff uptime.
Explore adaptability: While these trial teams look strong, flexibility in swapping in characters you already own will help. The leak is a guideline, not a strict rule players without Faruzan or Albedo may still build similar reaction teams by substituting analogous characters.
As the 6.2 update looms, these trial teams offer a compelling preview of the future direction of Genshin Impact’s roster strategy and meta evolution. Whether you’re gearing up for Spiral Abyss clears or end-game reaction farming, aligning your pulls and preparations around characters like Durin, Bennett, Klee and Venti may give you a competitive edge.
