Durin Kit: Skill, Constellations & Weapon| Genshin Impact Luna II 6.2

Hello, Travelers! Remember a character named Durin from the past storyline of Genshin Impact? As the plot continues to unfold, V6.2 brings us the highly anticipated 5-star character – Durin! As a member of the Hexenzirkel, this Pyro Sword character, with his unique dual-form switching mechanism and powerful off-field support capabilities, has sparked heated discussions even before his release. This article brings you a detailed info of Durin's skills, signature weapon, and Constellations!

Durin Basic Info

A dragon born in the fairy-tale world "Simulanka", jointly created by the Hexenzirkel's "A" Alice, "B" Barbeloth, and "M" Andersdotter, and created by Andersdotter. Insisted upon by Andersdotter, he was given the same name as "R" Rhinedottir's child, the venomous dragon Durin.

Kind by nature, but his massive body and a curse that turns anything he touches into building blocks led other residents of Simulanka to see him as an evil dragon, facing rejection and fear from the other inhabitants. Later, with the blessings of the Wanderer, Nilou, Navia, Kirara, and the Traveler, he broke free from the curse and obtained a smaller, cuter body.

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

As a Pyro support character, he combines offensive and supportive capabilities, and is suspected to be an upgraded combination of Bennett and Xiangling! This means he will be a perfectly capable off-field Pyro applicator and damage-dealing support. Isn't that tempting? Furthermore, as his Constellations are unlocked, he can also provide shields and healing for teammates, making him an excellent choice for players!

Durin's core feature is his dual-form combat style, allowing him to freely switch between "Wide-Range Pyro Application" and "High Multiplier Damage" modes, a modernized upgrade of the "Bennett + Xiangling" combo, poised to become a key piece in the new Pyro elemental system.

 

Durin Kit

Normal Attack: Flamewing Cleave

Normal Attack: Performs up to four consecutive sword strikes.

Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash a forward slash.

Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Binary Formula: Fusion Refinement

After use, gains the "Essence Conversion" effect.

During this duration, Durin can enter the "Affirmation of Whitening" state by tapping the Elemental Skill, or enter the "Negation of Darkness" state by tapping the Normal Attack.

In these two states, Durin gains different enhancement effects and can unleash different Elemental Bursts.

Conversion: Affirmation of Whitening

Deals one instance of Pyro AoE DMG to nearby opponents, ends Essence Conversion, and enters the "Affirmation of Whitening" state for 30s. Sever: White Radiance DMG: 190.1%

Conversion: Negation of Darkness

Deals three consecutive instances of Pyro DMG forward, ends Essence Conversion, and enters the "Negation of Darkness" state for 30s. Sever: Black Erosion DMG: 130.0% + 95.8% + 116.4%

Common Effect: When Durin enters either the "Affirmation of Whitening" or "Negation of Darkness" state, he will also restore a certain amount of Elemental Energy to himself. This effect can be triggered once every second at most.

Elemental Skill (E) - Core Form Switch

• Effect: After use, restores a certain amount of Energy to Durin, and switches between the Normal Form and the E Skill Form.
• Form 1 - Wide-Range Flame Wave: Larger attack range, but relatively lower skill multipliers.
• Form 2 - Condensed Flame Blade: Smaller attack range, but higher skill multipliers.

Elemental Burst

Unleashes the power of the "Beast" in different ways depending on the Essence Conversion state.

Whitening Law: Flow of Light

If Durin is in the "Affirmation of Whitening" state, he will use this Elemental Burst.

Deals three instances of Pyro AoE DMG to opponents in front of him and manifests his power as the "Whiteflame Dragon." The Whiteflame Dragon will follow the active character and periodically attack nearby opponents, dealing Pyro AoE DMG. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG. White Radiance: Born from Twilight DMG: 157.1%

Darkness Law: Stellar Ember Eclipse

If Durin is in the "Negation of Darkness" state, he will use this Elemental Burst instead. Deals three instances of Pyro AoE DMG to opponents in front of him and manifests his power as the "Blackcorrosion Dragon." The Blackcorrosion Dragon will follow the active character and periodically attack one nearby opponent, dealing Pyro DMG. This DMG is considered Elemental Burst DMG.

Furthermore, if Durin is not in a special Essence Conversion state, he will use the Elemental Burst "Whitening Law: Flow of Light" by default.

Passive Talents

A1: Revelation of the Divine Light

Depending on the form of power manifested by Durin when casting his Elemental Burst, different enhancement effects occur:

Whiteflame Dragon

When nearby party members trigger Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions against enemies, those enemies’ Pyro RES and the corresponding elemental RES involved in the reaction are reduced by 20% for 6s.

Blackcorrosion Dragon

Durin’s Vaporize and Melt reaction DMG is increased by 40%.

A4: Chaos Formed Like the Night

While Durin is in the Affirmation of Whitening or Negation of Darkness state, his Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 50% of his ATK, up to a maximum of +1000 bonus DMG

World talent: Echoes from the Earth

When performing 20-hour Expedition Missions in Mondstadt, rewards are increased by 25%.

 

Durin Signature Weapon

Weapon Type: Sword

Base ATK: 608

CRIT Rate: 33.1% CRIT Rate

Effect:

Refinement Rank 1 Effect - Radiance of the Daylight King:

Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 16%. For 3s after the Elemental Burst hits an opponent, gain the "Blade of Daylight" effect:

• Increases the wielder's ATK by 16%.
• Increases the ATK of the active character in the party, other than the wielder, by 12%.

Additionally, when the party has the "Arcane Rite" effect, the effects of "Blade of Daylight" are increased by an additional 75%. This effect can still be triggered even when the wielder is off the field.

Signature Weapon Analysis:

This weapon perfectly suits Durin's off-field support positioning. It not only directly boosts his Burst damage but also simultaneously buffs both Durin's own ATK and the Main DPS's ATK through the "Blade of Daylight" effect. The key lies in the additional 75% effect boost after triggering "Arcane Rite," which is likely related to Durin's Constellations, specific artifacts, or team composition (such as Hexenzirkel members), indicating huge potential.

 

Durin Constellations

C1: Reverse of the Red Soil

Durin's Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 25%. Additionally, upon using his Elemental Burst, different effects occur depending on which Burst is used:

• Whitening Law: Flow of Light: All other nearby party members gain 12 stacks of "Cycle Enlightenment" for 20s. When the active character with this buff deals DMG with Normal, Charged, Plunging Attacks, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst, 1 stack is consumed to increase that DMG by 60% of Durin's ATK. Each character's stacks are consumed independently.
• Darkness Law: Stellar Ember Eclipse: Durin gains 12 stacks of "Cycle Enlightenment" for 20s. When Durin deals Elemental Burst DMG, he consumes 2 stacks to increase that DMG by 100% of his ATK.

Using an Elemental Burst refreshes the duration and stacks of "Cycle Enlightenment."

C2: Bottomless Thought

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

C3: Flame Mirror Manifestation

Increases the Level of Elemental Burst "Whitening Law: Flow of Light" by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C4: Overflowing Origin

When triggering the "Cycle Enlightenment" consumption effect from the Constellation "Reverse of the Red Soil," there is a 55% chance not to consume a stack.

C5: Fracture of the Bitter Flame

Increases the Level of Elemental Skill "Binary Formula: Fusion Refinement" by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6: Dual Birth

Durin's Elemental Burst DMG ignores 30% of the opponent's DEF.

Additionally, both of his Elemental Bursts gain extra enhancements:

• Whitening Law: Flow of Light: Opponents hit by Durin or the Whiteflame Dragon have their DEF decreased by 30% for 6s.
• Darkness Law: Stellar Ember Eclipse: DMG from Durin or the Blackcorrosion Dragon additionally ignores 40% of the opponent's DEF.

Form 1: Enemy RES decrease effect is increased to 30% (even more potent with Hexenzirkel Resonance).

Form 2: When triggering Vaporize/Melt, has a chance to reset the Elemental Skill's cooldown.

Key Constellations: C2 and C6 are transformative Constellations. C2 directly enhances numerical values, while C6 fully unleashes Durin's potential.

 

Conclusion

Overall, Durin is a 5-star Pyro support with immense potential. His dual-form mechanism gives him extremely high team composition flexibility. The debut of his signature weapon solidifies his position as a top-tier off-field ATK support, capable of significantly boosting both his own and the Main DPS's output. If you are looking for a core support that can raise your team, then Durin are undoubtedly targets you shouldn't miss! It is recommended to start saving your Primogems for him in advance!
