Genshin Impact Diluc Best Build Guide – Weapons and Artifacts

Published by

Here is our Best Build guide for the Darknight Hero of Monstadt, Diluc. Find out the Best Weapons and Artifacts for him!

Diluc is a 5-Star Pyro character in Genshin Impact. Diluc of Genshin Impact runs a winery during the day, but at night he transforms into the famed Darknight Hero, who guards Monstadt in his own unique way. This claymore-wielding fighter uses fire to his advantage, making him one of the game’s most effective DPS heroes. Diluc is an incredibly strong Pyro character that why he ranks so highly on our Genshin Impact Tier List.

While Diluc can be used as a support character, he really shines as a primary DPS. You should be able to handle practically any enemy in the game if you organize your team around Diluc as the single DPS character. Diluc grows even stronger in the Dragonspine region as if he couldn’t get much better. Cryo opponents are vulnerable to Pyro attacks, providing Diluc a significant edge.
