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 Q E 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.
Some key points to consider when playing Diluc:

• Using his Elemental Burst (Q) to trigger elemental reactions and deal massive damage
• Applying consistent Pyro damage to enemies to trigger Vaporize or Melt reactions
• Managing Diluc's uptime to maximize his team's damage output

DPS Regarding Weapon Choices: These placements assume strong ATK buffs such as Bennett, as Diluc is commonly played with them present in his party.

• Redhorn Stonethresher: This weapon falls off considerably when strong ATK buffs are not present, still being a top tier option but similar in power to the weapons ranked directly below.
• Beacon of the Reed Sea: This weapon ranking assumes one stack, at two stacks it is Diluc's best weapon.
• Serpent Spine: This placement assumes you can maintain high stacks of the weapon effect. If you find yourself being hit often, a low-stacked Serpent Spine will find itself falling significantly in potential. This weapon scales well with refinements, having the potential to be Diluc's best weapon.
• The Unforged: This weapon matches while shielded. While unshielded, it loses some potency but is still a strong weapon tied with a low refined Rainslasher.
• Rainslasher: This weapon should only be used in teams where Diluc is consistently Vaporizing his attacks. This weapon scales well with refinements, potentially surpassing at R5.

• 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. Otherwise, avoid this artifact set.
