DPS Build

Weapons

Beacon of the Reed Sea

CRIT Rate

High CRIT Rate plus ATK% from Elemental Skill hits. Consistent damage for reaction spam.

Redhorn Stonethresher

CRIT DMG

Mainly a CRIT DMG stat stick. The DEF scaling is wasted, but raw stats still carry.

A Thousand Blazing Suns

CRIT Rate

Provides CRIT Rate and boosts Elemental Skill/Burst damage after reactions. Niche but strong for pyro-reaction loops.

Verdict

CRIT Rate

Navia's signature gives CRIT Rate and raises ATK after Elemental Skill hits, matching the E-heavy rotation.

Serpent Spine

CRIT Rate

Up to 30% DMG Bonus when stacks are up. Needs a shielder like Zhongli to maintain stacks.

Fang of the Mountain King

CRIT Rate

Grants CRIT Rate and increases Elemental Skill damage after triggering reactions. Solid for the spammy playstyle.

Wolf's Gravestone

ATK%

Massive ATK% and a party-wide ATK buff on low-health enemies. Less valuable with Bennett but still top-tier.

The Unforged

ATK%

Requires a shield to unlock full effect. Very high ATK with Zhongli or Diona.

Song of Broken Pines

Physical DMG Bonus

Physical-focused passive, but offers ATK% and attack speed. Only a stat stick; lower priority than pure crit or EM weapons.

Rainslasher

Elemental Mastery

4-star gem for Vaporize: huge Elemental Mastery and damage boost against hydro/pyro-affected enemies.

Mailed FlowerR5

Elemental Mastery

Event 4-star with Elemental Mastery and ATK% after pyro-related reactions. Great free-to-play option.

Tidal Shadow

ATK%

Fontaine craftable: strong ATK% boost when healed. Works well with Bennett or Jean.

Blackcliff Slasher

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG stat stick; passive only helps in multi-wave fights. Never rely on the effect.

Skyward Pride

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge helps burst uptime, and vacuum blades add minor off-field damage. Not ideal but usable.

Earth Shaker

ATK%

Natlan craftable: ATK% and Elemental Skill damage boost after reactions. Reliable for F2P players.

Artifacts

Crimson Witch of Flames

Best-in-slot for reaction-based play. 2-piece boosts Pyro DMG; 4-piece amplifies Vaporize/Melt and gains bonus Pyro DMG per Elemental Skill cast.

Gilded Dreams

Good EM-focused set. 4-piece grants Elemental Mastery or ATK% based on party elements; useful if you already have a strong piece set.

Choose 2

Crimson Witch of Flames

ATK +18% set

Elemental Mastery +80 set

Best-in-slot for reaction-based play. 2-piece boosts Pyro DMG; 4-piece amplifies Vaporize/Melt and gains bonus Pyro DMG per Elemental Skill cast.

Gladiator's Finale

2-piece boosts ATK by 18%, and 4-piece increases Normal Attacks by 35% for claymore users. Decent alternative when Crimson Witch pieces are scarce.

Marechaussee Hunter

4-piece grants 36% CRIT Rate when HP changes. Must be paired with a healer or Furina to constantly trigger the effect; then it becomes a strong CRIT package.

CRIT RateCRIT DMG

Diluc has several combos during his field time. N = Normal Attack, E = Elemental Skill, Q = Elemental Burst (e.g., N2 = two Normal Attacks). The 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: Q N2 E N2 E N2 E N4 N3 E N1 E E. An example video is linked.

Weapon Choices:
These rankings assume strong ATK buffs like Bennett, since Diluc is commonly paired with him.
Beacon of the Reed Sea: ranking assumes one stack.
Serpent Spine: placement assumes high stacks. At [R5] it is his best weapon.
Rainslasher: only in teams where he consistently triggers Vaporize. Scales well with refinements; at [R5] can surpass Wolf's Gravestone.
Tidal Shadow: ranking assumes consistent healing; otherwise ranks below Earth Shaker.
Blackcliff Slasher: assume passive does not activate.

Artifact Sets:
Crimson Witch of Flames (4): generally best because he easily stacks the Pyro damage effect, and his Burst imbues his attacks with Pyro.
Marechaussee Hunter (4): competitive with Crimson Witch when Furina is in the party.

Main Stats Priority:
Elemental Mastery sands can be preferred in Vaporize or Melt teams.
