Diluc has a number of combos he can do during his uptime.
N = Normal Attack, E = Elemental Skill, Q = Elemental Burst (N2 would equal 2 Normal Attacks)
His most common combo is Q N2 E N2 E N2 E. This fits perfectly into the buff window of his teams.
For high upfront damage, use E Q N1 E N1 E N1. This falls off significantly if the enemy isn't killed within this window.
A full rotation combo can look similar to Q N2 E N2 E N2 E N4 N3 E N1 E E. An example video can be found here.
DPS Regarding Weapon Choices: These placements assume strong ATK buffs such as Bennett, as Diluc is commonly played with them present in his party.
- Beacon of the Reed Sea: This weapon ranking assumes one stack.
- Serpent Spine: This placement assumes you can maintain high stacks of the weapon effect. At R5 it is Diluc's best weapon.
- Rainslasher: This weapon should only be used in teams where Diluc is consistently Vaporizing his attacks. This weapon scales well with refinements, potentially surpassing
- Tidal Shadow: This ranking assumes Diluc can consistently be healed. Otherwise, this weapon ranks below Earth Shaker.
- Blackcliff Slasher: Assume weapon passive does not activate
Regarding Artifact Sets:
- Crimson Witch of Flames (4): Generally the best go to set for Diluc due to how easily Diluc can stack the Pyro Damage effect, while his burst imbues his Normal/Charged Attacks with Pyro.
- Marechaussee Hunter (4): Competitive with Crimson Witch of Flames (4) when using Furina alongside Diluc.
Regarding Main Stats Priority: EM sands can be preferred if Diluc is being used in a Vaporize or Melt team.
