Durin Skills

Passive Talents

Light Manifest of the Divine Calculus

Ascension Phase 1

Durin will trigger different buffs depending on the form that his power manifests as when he unleashes his Elemental Burst. When that form is:

Dragon of White Flame
After nearby party members trigger Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions on an opponent, or deal Pyro DMG or Dendro DMG to an opponent affected by Burning, that opponent's Pyro RES, and the RES for the corresponding Element involved in the reaction, are decreased by 20% for 6s.

Dragon of Dark Decay
Durin's Vaporize DMG is increased by 40% and his Melt DMG is increased by 40%.

Chaos Formed Like the Night

Ascension Phase 4

After unleashing an Elemental Burst, Durin gains the Primordial Fusion of Forms effect for 20s: Durin gains 10 stacks of Primordial Fusion. When a periodic attack from Dragon of White Flame or Dragon of Dark Decay deals DMG, 1 stack of Primordial Fusion will be consumed to increase the DMG dealt by 3% of the original DMG for every 100 ATK. A maximum of 75% additional DMG can be dealt this way. When a single attack from Dragon of White Flame or Dragon of Dark Decay hits multiple opponents, only one stack of Primordial Fusion is consumed.
Primordial Fusion stacks are reset when the Elemental Burst is unleashed again.

Outfits

Toward the Distant Horizon

Durin's outfit. Durin's original outfit has received a new lease of life now that he's taken up his mother's pen. Ultimately, he bid farewell to the past once painted by its previous owner. When the lock on his heart faded away, the distant horizon his wish now points to became the direction in which his story continues to unfold.

A Gift From the Stars

Default

Durin's outfit. As the smoke from the alchemical array gradually dissipated, a glimmer of starlight drew Durin's gaze toward the window. In the reflection in the glass, he saw himself dressed in elegant garb, like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. When he looked down at himself again, he realized he was wearing that very same outfit. But who could've given him this gift? The stars outside merely twinkled soundlessly, providing no answers.
