Diluc’s Fiery Fury: Building for Max Damage
Diluc, the Darknight Hero, is a powerhouse DPS character in Genshin Impact, known for his devastating Pyro attacks. To maximize his damage potential, you’ll want to focus on building him for high Crit Rate and Pyro Damage Bonus.
Here’s a breakdown of the best artifact sets for Diluc, focusing on achieving that perfect balance between crit and Pyro damage:
1. Crimson Witch of Flames: The King of Fire Damage
This 4-piece set is the absolute best for Diluc. It provides:
- 2-piece: +15% Pyro DMG Bonus
- 4-piece: Increases Overloaded and Burning DMG by 15% and increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 40% for 10 seconds after using an Elemental Skill.
The 4-piece bonus is what makes this set truly shine for Diluc. The increased Vaporize and Melt damage is incredibly powerful, allowing you to unleash massive damage when paired with Hydro or Cryo characters.
2. Gladiator’s Finale: A Balanced Approach
Gladiator’s Finale is a great alternative if you haven’t farmed enough Crimson Witch pieces yet. It provides:
- 2-piece: +18% ATK
- 4-piece: Increases normal attack damage by 35% for characters equipped with a sword, claymore, or polearm.
This set provides a good balance of ATK and Pyro damage when paired with a 2-piece Crimson Witch set (2-piece Crimson Witch + 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale). It’s also a great choice for early-game Diluc as it’s easier to farm.
3. Witch’s End: A Niche Option
While less popular, Witch’s End offers a unique advantage:
- 2-piece: +15% Elemental DMG Bonus
- 4-piece: Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 40% for 10 seconds after using an Elemental Skill.
This set excels in situations where you want to deal significant damage with Diluc’s Elemental Skill, "Darknight Hero’s Sword." However, it’s not as strong as Crimson Witch when it comes to maximizing overall damage.
Sub-stats: The Key to Crushing Enemies
The sub-stats on your artifacts are just as important as the sets themselves. Here’s what you should prioritize for Diluc:
- Crit Rate and Crit DMG: These stats are essential for maximizing your damage output. Aim for a 1:2 ratio (1% Crit Rate for every 2% Crit DMG).
- Pyro Damage Bonus: This increases the damage of your Pyro attacks.
- ATK%: This stat increases your overall damage output.
- Energy Recharge: This stat is helpful for Diluc, especially if you want to use his Elemental Burst more often.
Finding the Perfect Balance
While Crimson Witch is the ultimate goal, don’t be discouraged if you haven’t farmed enough pieces yet. Mix and match sets, like Gladiator’s Finale and Crimson Witch, to achieve a good balance of ATK and Pyro damage. Remember, building a strong Diluc takes time, so keep farming those artifacts and refining your build!
