| Genshin Durin Artifacts

Currently, there are no dedicated artifact sets for the Hexerei system. Most viable options are older sets, which offer no significant advantage in substats, failing to create a gap of more than 10% when compared to a 2-piece + 2-piece combination.

Therefore, for the multiple options listed below, Travelers could simply use the best substats available from your existing artifact sets.

Category

Best-in-Slot Set

Alternative Set

Main Stat Selection

Substat Priority

Black(Damage)

4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames

2-piece Gladiator's Finale + 2-piece Crimson Witch of Flames

Sands: ATK%

Goblet: Pyro DMG Bonus

Circlet: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery

White(Support)

4-piece Noblesse Oblige

2-piece Crimson Witch of Flames + 2-piece Tenacity of the Millelith

Sands: Energy Recharge

Goblet: HP

Circlet: HP

Energy Recharge > HP > DEF

  • ATK Requirement: The Talent "Chaos Wrought from the Night" increases the damage dealt by Durin's intermittent attacks. For every 100 points of ATK, the damage is increased by an additional 3%, up to a maximum increase of 75% of the original damage. This maximum bonus is achieved at 2500 ATK.

  • Energy Recharge Requirement: For a single Pyro unit team, 120%+ Energy Recharge is required, which can be easily achieved with some favorable substat rolls. For two or more Pyro units, there is no need to specifically stack Energy Recharge.

| Genshin Durin Weapon

Thanks to the high Energy generation from his Elemental Skill, even though Durin has both "White Dragon" and "Black Dragon" forms, there is practically no significant difference in weapon selection.

It is recommended to focus entirely on maximizing the damage output, thereby maximizing Durin's overall contribution to the team's DPS.

  • 100% = Athame Artis > Primordial Jade Cutter > Mistsplitter Reforged > R5 Wolf-Fang > 90%

  • 90% > Haran Geppaku Futsu > Absolution > Azurelight > Light of Foliar Incision > R5 Moonweaver's Dawn > 85%

  • 85% > Uraku Misugiri > Splendor of Tranquil Waters > R1 Wolf-Fang > R5 Lion's Roar > R1 Moonweaver's Dawn > R5 Finale of the Deep >80%

※ Weapons not explicitly passive often need on-field time to stack effects. Since Durin is usually played as a Quick Swap unit, estimating performance based on max stacks may be an overestimation.

| Genshin Durin Team Comps

Durin's " White Dragon " (Support) form can be utilized in teams focusing on Pyro, Electro, Anemo, Geo, or Dendro Resistance Shredding compositions. With his ability to apply Pyro every 2 seconds and contribute around 20,000 off-field DPS, he can fit into a significant number of teams.

In contrast, Durin's " Black Dragon " (DPS) form is geared towards Vaporize and Melt damage, and can be used effectively both on-field and off-field.

Durin Core Team Composition Strategy

  • Replacing Xilonen while maintaining sufficient support.

  • Freeing up the Mavuika for other teams.

  • Completing the Hexerei system.

Team Type

Composition

Mono-Pyro

Arlecchino / Lyney / Klee + Durin + Bennett + Sucrose

Electro Overloaded

Wriothesley / Clorinde / Cyno / Raiden Shogun / Razor + Durin + Chevreuse / Bennett + Iansan/ Fischl

Dendro Burning

Kinich + Durin + Ianshan / Emilie + Bennett

Anemo Swirl

Venti + Durin + Bennett + Faruzan

Geo Crystallize

Navia + Albedo + Durin + Bennett

Black Dragon Off-field Vaporize

Mona + C2 Furina / Albedo + Chevreuse + Durin

Black Dragon On-field Melt

Citlali + Mona + Bennett + Durin

Optimal Team Composition: Catalyst Swirl Team

Durin (White) + Venti + Faruzan + Bennett

Core Logic

A Double Hexerei system (Durin + Venti) triggers Resonance. Venti groups enemies and Swirls the Pyro element. Faruzan provides Anemo Resistance Shred and Damage Increase. Bennett provides an ATK buff and healing, forming a "Pyro Application - Swirl - Damage Buff" closed loop.

Output Cycle (19-second rotation)

  1. Durin: Use Elemental Skill (E) twice (E-E to enter White Dragon form) → Use Elemental Burst (Q) to apply Pyro, shred resistance, and trigger Resonance.

  2. Bennett: Use Elemental Skill (E) → Use Elemental Burst (Q). (His field provides ATK buff and healing.)

  3. Faruzan: Use Elemental Skill (E) → Use Elemental Burst (Q). (Provides Anemo Resistance Shred and DMG increase.)

  4. Venti: Use Elemental Burst (Q) → Use Elemental Skill (E). (Crowd control + Swirl) → Remain on-field performing Normal/Charged Attacks until Bennett's Elemental Burst (Q) duration ends.

Free-to-Play Alternative Team Composition

Durin (White) + Sucrose + Xiangling + Xingqiu

Core Logic

Durin applies Pyro off-field, Sucrose groups enemies and Swirls, Xiangling deals Pyro damage off-field, and Xingqiu applies Hydro to trigger Vaporize, resulting in high damage at a low cost.

Output Cycle

  1. Durin: Elemental Skill (E) twice (EE) → Elemental Burst (Q).

  2. Xingqiu: Elemental Burst (Q) → Elemental Skill (E).

  3. Xiangling: Elemental Burst (Q) → Elemental Skill (E).

  4. Sucrose: Elemental Skill (E) → Elemental Burst (Q) → Remain on-field to Swirl reactions.

Damage Dealer Team Composition

Durin (Black) + Shenhe + Zhongli + Kaedehara Kazuha

Core Logic

Durin's "Black Dragon" form acts as the on-field DPS. Shenhe provides damage Buffs. Zhongli provides a shield and Resistance Shred. Kaedehara Kazuha Swirls for further damage increase and Resistance Shred. This composition is best suited for high-Constellation Durin.

Level & Talents

Level :

  • For the Support role (White Dragon), level up to Level 80 (Ascended).

  • For the DPS role (Black Dragon), level up to Level 90 (Max).

Talent Priority :

  • Support Build: Elemental Skill (LV10) > Elemental Burst (LV9) > Normal Attack (LV6).

  • DPS Build: Elemental Skill (LV10) > Normal Attack (LV9) > Elemental Burst (LV8).

Durin Base Unit → Constellation 1 → Constellation 2 → Weapon "Athame Artis" → Constellation 6

  • For the vast majority of players, a C0 R0 Durin is the complete unit. The Constellations primarily offer damage improvements and do not involve changes to the core mechanics.

  • For the White Dragon (Pure Support) Durin, the following Constellation can be considered: C0 R0, C1 R0, C2 R0, C2 R1, C6 R1.

  • For the Black Dragon (DPS) Durin, the following Constellation are considered: C1 R0, C2 R0, C2 R1, C3 R1, C4 R1, C6 R1.

| Conclusion

At C0, Durin already offer full Support value, enabling low-cost, high-reward teams, especially when paired with Anemo characters like Venti. Currently, Durin shows the biggest improvement in Overloaded teams but remains viable in many others. The signature weapon provides minimal benefit compared to other options, both C1 and C2 offer better priority than the signature weapon.
