Diluc

Pyro Claymore Tier A Main DPS

Reflects patch 6.7 (2026-07-06) — the meta store re-ranks every patch, never edited by hand.

Is Diluc worth building?

Diluc is a launch-day 5-star Pyro main DPS who still hits hard today when you give him the right team and buffs. His power leans on his supports more than his weapon: a craftable Serpent Spine or Rainslasher already takes him far, no Wolf's Gravestone required. What matters most is 4pc Crimson Witch of Flames plus a Bennett and Xingqiu to enable Vaporize. Farm a Pyro goblet and crit stats first; add Xianyun for plunge attacks and his damage explodes.

Diluc's talents

Tempered Sword

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.

Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Searing Onslaught

The slashes represent the values that Diluc holds dear: one for justice, one for courage, and one for duty.

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.
