Weapons
CRIT Rate
Signature-tier for this role: a CRIT-leaning stat line plus reaction bonuses stack with the alternating Vaporize/Melt ticks.
CRIT Rate
High base ATK, CRIT Rate and a stacking ATK passive; a pure stat stick that leaves the sands free for Elemental Mastery.
CRIT DMG
CRIT DMG substat and an unconditional Pyro DMG bonus. The infusion clause is wasted off-field, but the raw multipliers still carry the slot.
CRIT Rate
Value comes from CRIT Rate and the ATK% secondary stat; the Normal Attack DMG passive does almost nothing for a Burst-driven rotation.
CRIT DMG
Large CRIT DMG with a stacking DMG% buff that triggers on any damage, so the Bond of Life clause is optional rather than required.
CRIT DMG
Elemental Mastery substat plus a DMG% passive scaled by EM — the cleanest fit when reaction amplification is your main damage source.
CRIT Rate
ATK% stat line and stacking damage buffs; the Elemental Energy and HP clauses rarely matter here, but the baseline stats stay competitive.
CRIT DMG
Grants an Pyro DMG bonus and stacks with a second off-field teammate holding another weapon passive, so it works even without a Normal Attack rotation.
Elemental Mastery
Team-wide Elemental Mastery and ATK buffs after triggering reactions. Take it when the party gains more from the buff than from personal CRIT.
CRIT DMG
Massive CRIT DMG with an unconditional DMG% clause — the simplest upgrade when CRIT Rate is already solved by artifacts.
CRIT DMG
Reaction-weighted stat line and team damage buffs; a strong pick in Vaporize teams where a second support also scales off the same buff.
CRIT Rate
Budget crit stick: CRIT Rate substat plus extra Skill and Burst DMG, which is exactly where the Denial ticks live.
ATK%
High base ATK with a stacking ATK% passive, but it only stays active behind a shield — bring a shielder or skip it.
CRIT DMG
Free CRIT Rate at high HP; the cheapest fix for a crit-starved build if you can avoid chip damage.
ATK%
EM-leaning hybrid stats that feed Vaporize/Melt multipliers directly and pair naturally with Gilded Dreams.
Elemental Mastery
Craftable, Elemental Mastery on the substat with no conditions — the best zero-cost option when reactions supply most of your damage.
Elemental Mastery
EM substat plus a mark that raises the marked target's incoming DMG, making your amplified Burst hits land harder.
ATK%
ATK%-heavy craftable whose Bond of Life clause converts into bonus ATK — a solid stat stick when you do not need EM.
Artifacts
Reaction-triggered stacking buffs to DMG and Elemental Mastery; the top choice if you can keep the condition alive across the full off-field window.
Heavy Elemental Mastery plus ATK from the 4-piece, and it does not care which reaction you trigger — the safest generic set here.
Turns Energy Recharge into Burst DMG, so you can run an ER weapon or sands and still keep Denial form up every rotation.
Direct Vaporize and Melt amplification on top of Pyro DMG bonus; the classic reaction-scaling pick for Pyro off-field damage.

Recommended Primary Stats
Denial form activates when Durin uses
In Denial, the
Vaporize/Melt Off-Field DPS
Leans on Durin's Denial form to amplify Vaporize and Melt damage, typically off-field; on-field variants exist.
Weapons: Wolf Fang at R5 ranks above Haran Geppaku Futsu. Harbinger of Dawn only if HP reliably stays above 90%. Finale of the Deep with a reliable passive ranks near Summit Shaper.
Artifacts: Emblem of Severed Fate (4) is preferable to Gilded Dreams (4) when Energy Recharge needs hit 160%+.
Detailed weapon comparison here.
Buff Support & Off-Field DPS
Purity form shreds Pyro, Dendro, Electro, Anemo, and Geo RES when those elements react with Pyro.
Weapons: Freedom-Sworn ranked only when the passive triggers and the team benefits from it. Wolf Fang at R5 ranks similarly to Azurelight. Lion's Roar assumes 90% passive uptime; at R5 it ranks similarly to Wolf Fang. Harbinger of Dawn assumes the passive is always active. Finale of the Deep ranks near Summit Shaper if Bond of Life clears reliably.
Artifacts: Celestial Gift is usually the best set with Hexerei: Secret Rite if no one else can hold it. Emblem of Severed Fate (4) competes with A Day Carved By Rising Winds (4) at 160%+ Energy Recharge.

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
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.
