Durin
Durin is a flexible off-field Pyro unit: you can run him as a buff pillar with RES shred and steady Pyro application, or push him into Dark form to deal his own Vaporize and Melt damage. He shines most with another Hexerei ally to unlock his exclusive buffs. For gear, 4pc Noblesse Oblige is the support default, while Crimson Witch of Flames maxes personal damage. He needs enough Energy Recharge to keep his Burst up, then CRIT and ATK. Without his signature, the 4-star Wolf-Fang already performs very well.

After casting his Elemental Burst, Durin's effects will vary depending on the form of his Elemental Burst:
· Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts: All other nearby party members gain 20 stacks of Cycle of Enlightenment lasting 20s. When nearby active characters deal Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Plunging Attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst DMG, 1 stack of Cycle of Enlightenment will be consumed to increase the DMG dealt by 60% of Durin's ATK. Stack counts for characters in the party who have Cycle of Enlightenment are managed individually.
· Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder: Durin gains 20 stacks of Cycle of Enlightenment lasting 20s. When Durin deals Elemental Burst DMG, 2 stacks of Cycle of Enlightenment will be consumed to increase the DMG dealt by 150% of Durin's ATK.
When an Elemental Burst is used, Cycle of Enlightenment stacks will be refreshed.
For 20s after Durin uses an Elemental Burst, after nearby party members trigger Vaporize, Melt, Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions, or deal Pyro DMG or Dendro DMG to an opponent affected by Burning, all nearby party members gain a 50% increase to their Pyro DMG and to the corresponding elemental DMG involved in the reaction for 6s.
