Genshin Impact 5★ Pyro Claymore Main DPS
Gest of the Mighty Wolf is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Diluc's kit multiplies ATK, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. A Teaspoon of Transcendence, Fruitful Hook and Redhorn Stonethresher come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Diluc, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Crimson Witch of Flames on Diluc, with A Day Carved From Rising Winds and Disenchantment in Deep Shadow behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Pyro DMG Bonus goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK% > Energy Recharge.
Talent priority is Normal Attack > Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst. The Elemental Burst costs 40 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Diluc, Kamisato Ayaka, Venti and Diona, built around Diluc: Cryo · Melt.
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
Charged Attack Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.
Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Releases intense flames to knock back nearby opponents, dealing Pyro DMG. The flames then converge into the weapon, summoning a Phoenix that flies forward and deals massive Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path. The Phoenix explodes upon reaching its destination, causing a large amount of AoE Pyro DMG. The searing flames that run down his blade cause it to be infused with Pyro.
The only reason to walk in the darkness is to light it up. Behold, that fleeing light in the dead of night is the herald of the coming dawn.

Diluc's outfit. A smart and tasteful suit fit for a nobleman.
One of the outfits Diluc wears during covert actions, it resembles a flame dancing in the shadows. The crimson red traces it leaves behind at the edges of the enemy's vision will scar their nightmares forever.
Names, descriptions and art from the game data. Pick an outfit on the stage to see it full size.
Diluc is a 5-star Pyro character from Mondstadt who uses a claymore, released in version 1.0.
Diluc's abilities multiply ATK. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Gest of the Mighty Wolf is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star claymore with CRIT Rate as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Fruitful Hook is the best 4-star alternative.
Crimson Witch of Flames. Its 2-piece bonus is: Pyro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using Elemental Skill increases the 2-Piece Set Bonus by 50% of its starting value for 10s. Max 3 stacks.
Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Resistance among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
Conviction: Diluc deals 15% more DMG to opponents whose HP is above 50%.
