Diluc
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
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
This skill can be consecutively used 3 times.
Enters CD if not cast again within a short period.
The slashes represent the values that Diluc holds dear: one for justice, one for courage, and one for duty.
Dawn
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.
Relentless
Blessing of Phoenix
Tradition of the Dawn Knight
Combat Rotation
- Open with E (Searing Onslaught) to apply Pyro, chaining up to 3 casts before it goes on cooldown.
- Unleash Q (Dawn) once you have 40 Energy for a big AoE hit and to infuse your weapon with Pyro.
- While Pyro-infused, prioritize Normal/Charged Attacks so every hit deals bonus Pyro damage.
- Use any remaining E charges (up to the 3-hit chain) to keep pressure up and trigger elemental reactions with your team.
- Weave in the 4-hit Normal Attack combo while E is on its 10s cooldown.
- Once E is back up, repeat the E chain, then return to Normal Attacks to keep DPS uptime steady.
- When Q comes off its 12s cooldown and you have 40 Energy again, recast it to refresh the Pyro infusion and deal another burst of AoE damage.
