Diluc is the owner of the Dawn Winery and he’s also a nobleman of high esteem in Mondstadt and a former Knight of Favonius so yes, everyone knows him. He was born into the affluent Ragnvindr Clan and protects Mondstadt in his own way.
Diluc is a Pyro Claymore character and his main (and I would say only) role is as a DPS. Anyway, Genshin Impact is a really flexible game when we talk about builds. Even if Diluc has an optimum build, we’ll talk about another two viable builds! Let’s start!
3. Pale Flame
Pale Flame is an Artifact Set available at 4-star and 5-star rarities which can be obtained from Ridge Watch. Its 2-Piece Bonus increased Physical DMG by 25% and its 4-Piece Bonus increased ATK and when it stacks, Physical DMG increased by 100%.
Reasons to use this set:
- Even if Diluc is a Pyro character, he can be built as a DPS because of his Physical DMG and you can always get that Pyro DMG in the Goblet’s set even if it¡s not that much.
- Anyways, he recharges his Elemental Burst and Skill really fast, so you can always spam them and deal small amounts of Pyro DMG. Also, we recommend using another Pyro character like Hu Tao for the Pyro DMG and not just Diluc.
- Blackliff Slasher is the perfect weapon for this build. It’s a 4-star weapon that can be obtained in Paimon’s Bargains and its 2nd stat is CRIT DMG. Also, after defeating an opponent, Diluc’s attack will increase by 12% for 30s.
Set stats:
- Flower: HP
- Plume: Flat ATK
- Sand: ATK%
- Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus
- Circlet: ATK%/Crit DMG/ Crit Rate
Teams:
- Diluc, Xinyan, Xianling, and Zhongli
- Diluc, Bennet, Yoimiya, and Xinyan
- Diluc, Yoimiya, Xinqiu, and Mona
2. Shimenawa Reminiscence
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence is an Artifact Set available at 4-star and 5-star rarities which can be obtained from Momiji-Dyed Court in Inazuma.
The 2-Piece Bonus of Shimenawa’s Reminiscence increases your attack by 18% and its 4-Piece Bonus decreases your ER but increases your ATK by 50% for 10s.
Reasons to use this set:
- As we said before, Diluc is a DPS so his basic attacks are still really important. This build can bring a lot of DMG to his basic attacks.
- Even if the 2-Piece Bonus of Shimenawa’s Reminiscence is the same as Gladiator’s Finale, their 4-Piece Bonus is very different. Anyway, you can always try 2-Piece Shimenawa’s Reminiscence and 2-Piece Gladiator’s Finale.
- The best weapon for this build is the Blackliff Slasher, a 4-star weapon that can be obtained in Paimon’s Bargains. Its 2nd stat is CRIT DMG and after defeating an opponent, Diluc’s attack will increase by 12% for 30s (it has a max of 3 stacks).
Set stats:
- Flower: HP
- Plume: Flat ATK
- Sand: Pyro DMG Bonus
- Goblet: ATK%
- Circlet: Crit Rate/ Crit DMG
Teams:
- Diluc, Xinqiu, Albedo, and Zhongli
- Diluc, Yoimiya, Xinqiu, and Zhongli
- Diluc, Xinqiu, Sucrose, and Bennet
1. Crimson Witch of Flames
And we’re finally with our favourite build for Diluc! We repeated a lot that his basic attacks are really important too because they’re, but we can’t forget about his Pyro attacks. They’re part of Diluc’s personality, you know what I mean.
Crimson Witch of Flames is an Artifact Set available at 4-star and 5-star rarities which can be obtained from Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula.
Reasons to use this set:
- Crimson Witch of Flames’s 4-Piece Bonus increases Overloaded and Burning DMG by 40%, increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%, and when DiIuc uses his Elemental Skill it’ll increase the 2-Piece Bonus by 50%. It’s the perfect set, yes.
- This build is perfect with teams composed of characters like Xingqiu, Barbara, Kaeya, Ayaka, Diona, and Beidou. Characters that can apply their elements for a long time and can be mixed with Diluc’s Pyro DMG easily.
- The best weapon for this build is Wolf’s Gravestone, also known as Diluc's Weapon. This claymore can be obtained through wishes and its 2ns stat is ATK. This weapon increases ATK by 20% and attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ ATK by 40%. It’s perfect with every Claymore character.
Set stats:
- Flower: HP
- Plume: Flat ATK
- Sand: ATK%
- Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus
- Circlet: Crit DMG/Crit Rate
Teams:
- Diluc, Ganyu, Kazuha, and Diona
- Diluc, Ayaka, Venti, and Diona
- Diluc, Xinqiu, Kazuha, and Zhongli
We just presented to you what we think are the best three builds for Diluc. But now, it’s your turn to think about them and choose what you think is the best one for him! Which one are you going to use with our favourite redhead?
