A guide on the best Genshin Impact Diluc build would definitely help players use the 5-star to the best of his abilities.
Genshin Impact, the action role-playing game developed and published by miHoYo, gives players a wide and remarkable roster of characters to choose from. One such amazing character is Diluc Ragnvindr.
Genshin Diluc is a 5-star Pyro claymore playable character. He comes from Mondstadt. Along with being a highly respected nobleman in Mondstadt, he is also the current owner of the Dawn Winery. Plus, he is basically royalty as he was born into the powerful Ragnvindr Clan.
Diluc holds the record for being the youngest Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius. He fulfills his father’s wish for him to be a safeguard for the City of Freedom and a highly respected knight. He has, however, split with the Knights of Favonius. But that hasn’t stopped him from attaining the title of Darknight Hero from Mondstadt’s population.
Genshin Impact Diluc Ragnvindr happens to be the first Main DPS that was introduced in Genshin Impact. You can get him from the Standard and Character Event banners. Diluc remains one of the best Pyro characters even after two years of its release because of his unique gameplay.
So, we think it’s amply clear that a Genshin Impact Diluc build guide is a beneficial subject to talk about. And that is exactly what this post is. Read on!

Genshin Impact Diluc Gameplay
As Diluc is a claymore character, he is slower relative to other DPS characters. However, he can take down opponents with his brute strength and tower above almost every opponent. You want Diluc to stay on the field.
For a great Diluc build, you should get the 4-piece Crimson Witch of Flames artifact set, and a good claymore. The mentioned artifact set is maximized fully by Genshin Impact Diluc.
Infused with Pyro, and doing Pyro damage, Searing Onslaught lets him throw his claymore at the enemies. Diluc’s skill can be used thrice consecutively. The maximum interval is 3s. An alternating combo of physical and elemental attacks is possible with the elemental skill.
Dawn, Diluc’s elemental burst talent, does huge damage and can group up loads of enemies. The claymore is imbibed with Pyro after the elemental burst.
Pairing Diluc up with Xingqiu or Chingyun is the best option. Pairing with Bennet increases attacks by 20%. For maximum damage, use Hydro and Cyro combined with Diluc’s burst and skill. Also, you can use him as Pyro support of Ayaka.

A final note of weapons
You get lots of great weapon choices with Diluc. Wolf’s Gravestone, for one, is a great 5-star claymore for Diluc. You get a lot of ATK and give an attack boost to the party. Serpent Spine is a good 4-star alternative because of the high CRIT Rate and the passive.
Prototype Archaic is a fine 4-star free weapon too. It has a good ATK% substat. Blackcliff Slasher, which can be bought with the Masterless Starglitter, is another option.
Skyward Pride has good case ATK and energy recharge. The Unforged requires a shield character for its passive, but is a powerful choice. Luxurious Sea-Lord is great too.
