Diluc is a 5-star Pyro claymore user from Mondstadt and the owner of the Dawn Winery. As one of the earliest characters in the game, Diluc made a name for himself with high Pyro damage output, fast cooldowns, and reliable Elemental reactions.
He excels as a main DPS with sustained on-field presence and pairs exceptionally well with Cryo or Hydro supports to trigger Melt and Vaporize reactions.
While power-crept by newer 5-stars, Diluc remains a dependable DPS option with smooth combo potential and great F2P weapon synergy.

Use supports that apply Hydro or Cryo to enable Vaporize or Melt for massive damage. Focus on ER to ensure Burst uptime and stack CRIT and Pyro DMG to optimize his scaling.
