Genshin Impact Diluc: Guide to Gearing, Playstyle & Team Comp

Updated:

Genshin Impact Diluc is one of the many slew of pretty boys in the game, this pyro user has a bit of a tsundere vibe and an attitude problem. None the less he is a beloved character and a strong one at that.

The only way to receive him is by pulling him from a banner, though he is not currently featured on anyone specifically, though he should be having a banner rerun towards the middle of march.

Weapon

His best in slot weapon is Wolf’s Gravestone, the current banner shared with the BiS spear for Hu Tao. Now is a good time to start pulling because the weapon banner ends in a little over two weeks.

If you don’t have the wishes to spare for Gravestone, the free alternative is a decent pickup. You lose the execute of Gravestone, but replace it for a chance to do double damage in a small AOE instead.

Diluc’s main role is a DPS, he really doesn’t have any utility or supporting powers so the best set for him is a 4 piece Crimson Witch of Flames. The bonus to pyro damage, and when you unlock the 4 pieces and get the increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15% your damage is bolstered even higher.

You also have the opportunity to take advantage of a gladiator set, as most swords users/ main DPS can take advantage of the 35% increased damage, even though it doesn’t help your pyro damage, it will severely increase the damage of your autos.

You are going to want to look for ATK% / Pyro DMG / CRIT DMG for both subset skills for the artefacts.

Genshin Impact Diluc Playstyle

Diluc is a character that can bully and push around mobs, he can brute strength and overpower almost all mobs in the game, that being said make sure you constantly weave in autos to get the most amount of damage is important.

Also adding fuel to the fire, angling your ult is key because you push everything in that path to the end of where the ult hits, so hitting a wall can cause the mobs to take less damage than you would have originally planned.

Possible Team Comp

Diluc is kind of hard trying to plan a team comp for, most DPS shine when bunching bobs together so you can do massive amounts of damage to them all at once, though the displacement Diluc has rivalled that of Jean.

That being said, even though they share tension during the story, Jean is a great partner to Diluc and an amazing healer to keep him topped up and ready for action. The other two slots are really up in the air, probably Xinyan for the pyro boost and her shielding potential.

Lastly Xingqiu for the melt damage of water and fire, but also just the PDS bolster from his ult.
