Durin Best Build

Durin performs best as an off-field Pyro sub-DPS with stable Energy Recharge and balanced CRIT stats.

Quick Build

ATK sands, Pyro goblet, CRIT circlet, then tune Energy until Burst uptime is stable.

Support Form

Use the utility-focused form when your team needs extra Pyro application and setup control.

Burst Form

Use the damage-focused form when Vaporize or Melt teams can amplify Durin Burst hits.

Reaction Build

Elemental Mastery setups work when Durin triggers Burgeon, Overloaded, or Melt windows often.

Durin Best Teams

Durin fits both Pyro-reaction cores and utility-heavy lineups that need consistent off-field pressure.

Durin Overload Team

Pair Durin with Electro supports and a carry that benefits from sustained Pyro uptime.

Durin Vaporize Team

Hydro-driven teams can convert Durin off-field Pyro into strong Vaporize damage windows.

Durin Burning Team

Dendro pairings enable stable Burning pressure while Durin rotates around Burst uptime.

Durin Utility Team

Use Durin with buffers and grouping units when team comfort is more important than peak damage.

Durin Materials

Prepare ascension and talent materials early so Durin can reach useful breakpoints on release day.

  • Farm local specialties first to remove the biggest leveling bottleneck.
  • Collect boss drops in parallel with talent books to reduce resin waste.
  • Prioritize Mora and EXP reserves before pushing high talent levels.
  • Track enemy drops weekly so Durin upgrades stay on schedule.

Durin Weapons

Durin prefers swords with CRIT value, Burst scaling, or team utility depending on your role target.

Athame Artis

Best-in-slot option for balanced personal damage and team value.

Premium CRIT Swords

High-end alternatives improve Burst consistency when stats are optimized.

Strong 4-Star Picks

Several four-star swords remain efficient when premium options are unavailable.

Durin Artifacts

Durin artifacts should be chosen by role: Burst-focused damage, team support, or reaction-trigger play. Prioritize enough Energy Recharge first, then scale CRIT, ATK, and Elemental Mastery by team.

A Day Carved From Rising Winds (4pc)

Top personal-damage set for Dark Form and off-field Burst damage, with strong ATK and CRIT scaling in optimized teams.

Noblesse Oblige (4pc)

Best team-buff alternative for White Form support when no other unit already provides Noblesse uptime.

Emblem of Severed Fate (4pc)

Safe general set when Durin needs more Energy Recharge and stable Burst cycles across varied team setups.

Mixed 2pc Options

Reliable temporary setup while farming, combining Burst, Pyro, ATK, EM, or ER bonuses with better sub-stats.

Marechaussee Hunter (4pc)

Niche on-field option in HP-fluctuation teams, mainly when running Durin with Furina-style support patterns.

Durin Stat Targets

Aim for stable ER, balanced CRIT, and enough ATK for passive scaling, with extra EM in Vaporize, Melt, Overloaded, or Burgeon teams.

Durin Talents and Kit

Durin's kit is built around switching between White Form and Dark Form, then timing Burst windows around your team reaction plan.

Step 1 - Normal Attack Baseline

Durin uses a standard sword string, but Normal Attack is low priority unless you play him on-field.

Step 2 - Elemental Skill Form Choice

Use the Skill sequence to enter White Form for support utility or Dark Form for stronger personal damage.

Step 3 - White Form Routing

White Form enables off-field AoE Pyro pressure and team-oriented utility for Pyro-related reaction lineups.

Step 4 - Dark Form Routing

Dark Form is for Vaporize and Melt damage paths where Durin's own Burst contribution is the focus.

Step 5 - Burst Priority

Durin Burst is the primary talent value point and should be leveled first for most account builds.

Step 6 - Passive Value

Ascension passives improve team resistance pressure in White Form and increase reaction damage value in Dark Form.

Step 7 - Rotation Basics

White route: Skill into White Form, then Burst. Dark route: Skill into Dark Form, then Burst during buff windows.

Step 8 - Talent Order

Standard upgrade order is Burst first, Skill second, and Normal Attack last unless running on-field Durin.

Durin Constellations

Durin is fully usable at C0, with C1 and C2 as high-impact upgrades and C6 as the premium ceiling for heavy vertical investment.

Durin C0 Baseline

Strong base version with off-field Pyro damage, form-based utility, and practical fit in multiple reaction archetypes.

Durin C1 Upgrade

Major first constellation that improves stack-based damage value for both support-leaning and personal-damage play.

Durin C2 Checkpoint

Best early stopping point for many accounts, adding strong team elemental value in Pyro-reaction cycles.

Durin C3 and C5

Bridge constellations that raise talent levels and improve scaling but are usually not primary stopping targets.

Durin C4 Power Spike

Meaningful Burst-focused upgrade with stronger stack efficiency when already investing beyond C2.

Durin C6 Ceiling

Maximum-investment endpoint with high defense-ignore value and the strongest personal damage scaling.
