CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG

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 at R5.
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.

The flames then converge into the weapon, summoning a Phoenix that flies forward and deals massive Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path.
