He possesses a unique dual-form combat mechanism and adaptability to multiple roles, serving as a sub-DPS providing sustained off-field damage, making him a popular character with immense combat potential. This guide will provide you with the best build for Durin, including his weapons, artifacts, constellations, and team recommendations. Let's dive in!

Durin Overview

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Element: Pyro | Weapon: Sword

Durin is a 5-star Pyro Sword character. As an Sub-DPS, he can switch between "Light and Dark" forms while dealing significant direct damage. His kit benefits from ATK, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. By activating the "Dragon's Sigil," he can reduce enemy resistance and enhance his Elemental Burst damage.

Skill Mechanics & Rotation

Elemental Skill (E):

• E + E: Enters the "Confirmation of Purity" state, suited for AoE damage and support.
• E + Normal Attack: Enters the "Denial of Darkness" state, suited for single-target burst and amplifying reactions.

Entering either state restores 33 Energy. The enhanced state allows casting the corresponding Elemental Burst.

Elemental Burst (Q):

Confirmation of Purity: As the Light Shifts (Purity state): Summons the Dragon of White Flame, intermittently attacking surrounding enemies for 20 seconds. Ideal for transformative reaction teams (e.g., Overload, Burning).

Denial of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder (Darkness state): Summons the Dragon of Dark Decay, intermittently attacking a single enemy for 20 seconds. Ideal for amplifying reaction teams (e.g., Vaporize, Melt).

Rotation:

• AoE/Support: E + E + Q (Purity form)
• Single-Target/Burst: E + Normal Attack + Q (Darkness form)

Durin Weapon Recommendations

Choosing the right weapon can significantly enhance Durin's combat effectiveness and team synergy:

Best Choice

Athame Artis

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Base ATK: 608 | CRIT Rate: 33.1%

Effect: CRIT DMG from Elemental Bursts is increased by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% . When an Elemental Burst hits an opponent, gain the Blade of the Daylight Hours effect: ATK is increased by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40% . Nearby active party members other than the equipping character have their ATK increased by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% for 3s. Additionally, when the party possesses Hexerei: Secret Rite effects, the effects of Blade of the Daylight Hours are increased by an additional 75%. This effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is off-field.

This weapon perfectly complements Durin's off-field support role:

• Enhances Main DPS burst damage: The "Limpid" effect boosts both Durin's and the Main DPS's ATK.
• Synergizes with the team: The additional 75% effect under "Witchcraft" likely relates to Durin's constellations, specific artifacts, or team compositions (e.g., Hexenzirkel characters), offering great potential.

Alternative Choices

Primordial Jade Cutter

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Base ATK: 542 | CRIT Rate : 44.1%

Effect: HP increased by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40% . Additionally, provides an ATK Bonus based on 1.2% / 1.5% / 1.8% / 2.1% / 2.4% of the wielder's Max HP.

The versatile sword suitable for many Sword-wielding characters. Its low Base ATK is compensated by its high CRIT Rate, and its passive provides additional ATK based on Max HP.

Freedom-Sworn

Rarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Base ATK: 608 | Elemental Mastery: 198

Effect: A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases DMG by 10% / 12.5% / 15% / 17.5% / 20% . When the character wielding this weapon triggers Elemental Reactions, they gain a Sigil of Rebellion. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 2 Sigils of Rebellion, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain "Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance" for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Song of Resistance" increases Normal, Charged and Plunging Attack DMG by 16% / 20% / 24% / 28% / 32% and increases ATK by 20% / 25% / 30% / 35% / 40% . Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Rebellion for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.

An excellent choice for his "Light" form. It not only increases his own damage but also provides significant buffs to teammates.

Durin Constellation Recommendations

C2 Unground Visions (Key!)

After Durin uses an Elemental Burst, for 20s, when nearby party members trigger Vaporize, Melt, Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions, all nearby party members gain a 30% Pyro DMG Bonus and a corresponding elemental DMG Bonus for the element involved in the reaction for 6s.

C6 Dual Birth

Durin's Elemental Burst DMG will ignore 30% of the opponent's DEF. Additionally, his Elemental Bursts "Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts" and "Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder" are enhanced:

- Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts: After hitting an opponent, that opponent's DEF is decreased by 30% for 6s.

- Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder: DMG will ignore an additional 40% of the opponent's DEF.

C2 and C6 are game-changing Constellations. C2 directly boosts numerical value, while C6 fully unlocks Durin's potential.
