What element is Diluc?

Diluc is a 5-star Pyro character from Mondstadt who uses a claymore, released in version 1.0.

Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Resistance among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.

Diluc build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

Gest of the Mighty Wolf is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Diluc's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. A Teaspoon of Transcendence, Fruitful Hook and Redhorn Stonethresher come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Diluc, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.

Run Crimson Witch of Flames on Diluc, with A Day Carved From Rising Winds and Disenchantment in Deep Shadow behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Pyro DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.

Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 40 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.

Burst

Dawn

Releases intense flames to knock back nearby opponents, dealing Pyro DMG. The flames then converge into the weapon, summoning a Phoenix that flies forward and deals massive Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path. The Phoenix explodes upon reaching its destination, causing a large amount of AoE Pyro DMG. The searing flames that run down his blade cause it to be infused with Pyro.

The only reason to walk in the darkness is to light it up. Behold, that fleeing light in the dead of night is the herald of the coming dawn.
