Best Diluc build: Weapons

Diluc is also excellently paired with the 4-starSacrificial Greatsword, a claymore that aids Energy Recharge while also occasionally ending cooldown periods for Elemental Skills. Diluc already excels in terms of Energy Recharge, so pairing him with the Sacrificial Greatsword will have you dealing out Pyro DMG constantly.

Best Diluc build: Artifacts

If you can’t quite get your hands on the Crimson Witch of Flames set, another great option isGladiator’s Finaleset, which boosts ATK and provides a 4-piece bonus of an additional ATK bonus for claymore users. This boost only applies to Normal Attacks, though, so be warned that if you’re primarily using Diluc for his Pyro abilities, it won’t be as effective.

When selecting stats and substats for Diluc’s artifacts, prioritize Pyro DMG Bonus and ATK%. Throwing a little Energy Recharge and CRIT DMG into the mix can be effective as well, but don’t overdo it, as Diluc’s kit already provides enough of these two stats to begin with.

Best Diluc build: Ascension Materials

To fully ascend Diluc, you’ll need to gather 1 Agnidus Agate Sliver, 9 Agnidus Agate Fragments, 9 Agnidus Agate Chunks, 6 Agnidus Agate Gemstones, 46 Everflame Seeds, 168 Small Lamp Grass, 18 Recruit’s Insignias, 30 Sergeant’s Insignias, and 36 Lieutenant’s Insignias.

Best Diluc build: Talents

To fully level Diluc’s talents, you’ll need 9 Teachings of Resistance, 63 Guides to Resistance, 114 Philosophies of Resistance, 18 Recruit’s Insignias, 66 Sergeant’s Insignias, 93 Lieutenant’s Insignias, 18 Dvalin’s Plumes, and 3 Crowns of Insight.

Though Diluc is a Pyro DPS, you’ll want to level up hisNormal Attackfirst since his Burst will infuse Normal Attacks with Pyro energy. Don’t let hisElemental SkillandBurstfall too far behind, though; you’ll want to let these trail closely behind his Normal Attack in terms of level for optimal damage. Here’s everything Diluc has in store:

Best Diluc build: Constellations

As with most characters, Diluc is at his strongest at Constellation 6. However, you’re going to be shelling out serious amounts of real money, which we can’t recommend (unless you’re a wealthy wine tycoon like Diluc, in which case we can’t stop you). If you’re going to invest in any of Diluc’s Constellations, Constellation 1 adds a nice DMG bonus to Diluc’s already stellar damage output, allowing him to take down enemies faster when they have more health. Here are all of Diluc’s Constellations:

How to get Diluc in Genshin Impact

Diluc is a permanent character on the Standard Wish Banner, meaning you’ll be able to get him at any time despite his 5-star rarity. Unfortunately, there’s no way to guarantee that you’ll get Diluc — your best bet is to just keep wishing on either the Standard Wish Banner or the Character Event Wish Banner.
