"The Undying Fire"
The best Durin build in Genshin Impact (Version 7.0) is Athame Artis with A Day Carved From Rising Winds. Updated August 28, 2026
Ensuring Durin can Burst every rotation takes absolute priority over other factors. While Elemental Mastery can be useful for Dark Durin, he typically only wants around 80-100 after buffs are considered before it becomes worse than ATK%.

Durin will trigger different buffs depending on the form that his power manifests as when he unleashes his Elemental Burst. When that form is:
Dragon of White Flame After nearby party members trigger Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions on an opponent, or deal Pyro DMG or Dendro DMG to an opponent affected by Burning, that opponent's Pyro RES, and the RES for the corresponding Element involved in the reaction, are decreased by 20% for 6s.
Dragon of Dark Decay Durin's Vaporize DMG is increased by 40% and his Melt DMG is increased by 40%.

After unleashing an Elemental Burst, Durin gains the Primordial Fusion of Forms effect for 20s: Durin gains 10 stacks of Primordial Fusion. When a periodic attack from Dragon of White Flame or Dragon of Dark Decay deals DMG, 1 stack of Primordial Fusion will be consumed to increase the DMG dealt by 3% of the original DMG for every 100 ATK. A maximum of 75% additional DMG can be dealt this way. When a single attack from Dragon of White Flame or Dragon of Dark Decay hits multiple opponents, only one stack of Primordial Fusion is consumed. Primordial Fusion stacks are reset when the Elemental Burst is unleashed again.

Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Mondstadt Expedition for 20 hours.

After completing Witch's Homework: Of This World, Durin will become a Hexerei character. When the party includes at least 2 Hexerei characters, you will gain the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect, which enhances Hexerei characters.
Hexerei: Secret Rite Increases all effects of the Ascension Talent Light Manifest of the Divine Calculus (except for Duration) by 75%.

Durin's outfit. As the smoke from the alchemical array gradually dissipated, a glimmer of starlight drew Durin's gaze toward the window. In the reflection in the glass, he saw himself dressed in elegant garb, like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. When he looked down at himself again, he realized he was wearing that very same outfit. But who could've given him this gift? The stars outside merely twinkled soundlessly, providing no answers.

Durin's outfit. Durin's original outfit has received a new lease of life now that he's taken up his mother's pen. Ultimately, he bid farewell to the past once painted by its previous owner. When the lock on his heart faded away, the distant horizon his wish now points to became the direction in which his story continues to unfold.
