Best Diluc Build: Weapons, Artifacts & Teams (v7.0)

1

Beacon of the Reed Sea

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat plus ATK gained on Skill hits and again when damage is taken. The N2 E weave holds both stacks through almost the whole rotation — the default best-in-slot pick.

2

Redhorn Stonethresher

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat and a DEF-scaling Normal Attack/Charged Attack buff. The DEF-to-ATK conversion wants heavy investment, so it only wins if artifacts already supply enough CRIT Rate.

3

A Thousand Blazing Suns

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat with Pyro DMG and stacking ATK on Skill casts; three E uses per rotation cap the passive quickly.

4

Verdict

CRIT Rate

High base ATK and CRIT Rate, though the passive leans on Geo crystallize support. As a pure stat stick it still outpaces most 4-stars.

5

Serpent Spine

CRIT Rate

CRIT Rate substat and a ramping all-DMG bonus tied to field time. Strongest behind a shielder, since each hit taken strips a stack.

6

Fang of the Mountain King

CRIT Rate

Heavy ATK stat line with a passive that ramps damage during sustained on-field time; the long Q N2 E N2 E N2 E N4 N3 variant builds it fastest.

7

Wolf's Gravestone

ATK%

Enormous base ATK plus a team-wide ATK buff and bonus damage against low-HP enemies — ideal in Vaporize teams that bring no attack buffer.

8

The Unforged

ATK%

ATK substat with a stacking ATK passive gated behind a shielded state; a plain stat stick unless a shielder anchors the team.

9

Song of Broken Pines

Physical DMG Bonus

The Physical DMG substat is dead weight here, but the passive's ATK buff and attack-speed aura still help team damage. A filler pick, not a damage upgrade.

10

Rainslasher

Elemental Mastery

Budget Vaporize option: Elemental Mastery substat and 20% extra damage against Hydro- or Electro-affected enemies, which is nearly always active.

11

Mailed FlowerR5

Elemental Mastery

Elemental Mastery substat plus an ATK bump after triggering a reaction — a cheap route into Vaporize/Melt damage when your EM pieces are already strong.

12

Tidal Shadow

ATK%

ATK substat with a passive that only fires on healing; pair it with a healer or treat it as an unconditional stat stick.

13

Blackcliff Slasher

CRIT DMG

CRIT DMG substat and stackable ATK on kills — best in multi-wave chambers where adds keep refreshing the buff.

14

Skyward Pride

Energy Recharge

Energy Recharge substat with bonus all-DMG and vacuum-blade procs after Burst. The safest choice when Burst uptime, not damage, is the bottleneck.

15

Earth Shaker

ATK%

Free Natlan craftable whose damage buff keys off Skill usage; the N2 E weave refreshes it every cycle, making it a usable placeholder before a 5-star pull.
