Genshin Durin talent priority

For Genshin Durin build, players must prioritize upgrading his elemental skill.

Talent	Durin talent Priority	Recommended level
Normal Attack	★ ★	2+
Elemental Skill	★ ★ ★ ★	7+
Elemental Burst	★ ★ ★ ★  ★	10+

Durin’s Elemental Burst should be the main priority, as it accounts for most of his damage in both forms. Next is his Elemental Skill, since upgrading it not only increases damage but also improves his energy regeneration. His Normal Attack can generally be ignored unless he is being used as an on-field DPS.

Genshin Durin constellations - Should you pull?

Here are the best Durin constellations, and why you should get it:

• C1: Big power spike
• C2: Best stopping point for meta players
• C3-C5: Moderate upgrades
• C6: massive DEF ignore + damage ceiling breaker

1. Adamah's Redemption

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: After casting his Elemental Burst, Durin gains different effects based on form. In Purity, allies gain 20 stacks that boost their damage based on 60% of Durin’s ATK when consumed. In Darkness, Durin gains 20 stacks that enhance his Burst DMG based on 150% of his ATK when consumed. Using Burst refreshes all stacks. Reason: Earliest power up for Durin, increasing his power and strength both as a sub-DPS and support.

2. Unground Visions
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: For 20s after Durin uses his Elemental Burst, when nearby party members trigger Vaporize, Melt, Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize, or deal Pyro/Dendro DMG to Burning enemies, all party members gain +50% Pyro DMG and +50% DMG of the reaction element for 6s. Reason: One of Durin's best constellations, especially when played as a support.

3. Flame Mirror's Revelation
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Increases the Level of Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts by 3. Reason: Increases the damage he deals on his ultimate. Good upgrade.

4. Emanare's Source
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Durin's Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 40%. Additionally, when effects that consume Cycle of Enlightenment stacks are triggered as part of the Constellation Adamah's Redemption, there is a 30% chance that no Cycle of Enlightenment stacks will be consumed. Reason: C4 Durin increases his off-field Pyro damage uptime and amplifies his Elemental Burst output.

5. Scouring Flame's Sundering
Ratings: ★ ★ ★ Effect: Increases the Level of Binary Form: Convergence and Division by 3. Reason: Only use as a stepping stone for C6.

6. Dual Birth

Ratings: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Effect: Durin’s Elemental Burst DMG ignores 30% of opponents’ DEF. Additionally, both Burst forms are enhanced: Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts applies a 30% DEF reduction to enemies hit for 6s, while Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder increases DEF ignore by an additional 40% for its Burst and Dragon of Dark Decay damage. Reason: Durin's best constellation. His burst damage ignores a total of 70% of enemies' DEF, while his Purity shreds their defense by 30%, which significantly boosts his damage output for a duration.
