Ensuring Durin can Burst every rotation takes absolute priority over other factors. While Elemental Mastery can be useful for Dark Durin, he typically only wants around 80-100 after buffs are considered before it becomes worse than ATK%.
How much Energy Recharge Durin needs to cast the Burst every rotation, by team and by weapon. Where a target is out of reach, the advice beside it says what to do instead.
| Team | Er |
|---|---|
| Triple Pyro | 100-110% |
| Double Pyro w/ Bennett | 140-150% |
| Double Pyro | 130-140% |
| Solo Pyro | 160-170% |

All of Durin’s damage comes from his Burst and its levels should be prioritized, followed closely by his Skill due to significantly improving its Energy refund.
Dragon of White Flame
E E Q
Durin’s default state, and the one he will end up using in most teams because of the RES Shred it provides to the elements involved in Pyro reactions other than Melt and Vaporize. Note that the RES Shred has a short 6s duration, meaning Durin ideally wants consistent Pyro reactions to be triggered for uptime.
Dragon of Dark Decay
E N1 Q
Increases Durin’s own Melt and Vaporize damage, and thus the form he uses when paired with characters that allow him to trigger said reactions reliably. Durin is usually not worth pairing with characters who want to trigger Melt or Vaporize, as he can interfere with their ability to do so and cannot inherently provide any supportive abilities in this form.
Early Burst Variant
E Q E/N1
If a Burst is available before generating extra energy with his Skill, this combo can slightly lower his field time by cancelling part of the Skill animation with the Burst. This works for both modes, but Dark Durin can only perform this from the second rotation onwards due to having to manually switch form during the first rotation. The Pyro application after his Burst can also result in a loss of Melts when playing Dark Durin on some teams.

Genshin Impact 5★ Pyro Sword Main DPS
Athame Artis tops the weapon ranking for Durin, at 119% relative damage at R1 in the Durin with Lohen - Team column, ahead of Mistsplitter Reforged, Primordial Jade Cutter and Haran Geppaku Futsu. That order is prydwen.gg's, measured in play and rephrased here; every row of it sits under Weapons below.
Run A Day Carved From Rising Winds on Durin, with Celestial Gift and Emblem of Severed Fate behind it. Main stats are ATK% sands, Pyro DMG or ATK% goblet, CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG circlet. Roll substats in the order ER > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > ATK% > EM.
Talent priority is Burst > Skill. The Elemental Burst costs 70 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
Aim for 100% to 160% Energy Recharge, depending on the team and the weapon, per prydwen.gg's calcs. The standard rotation (Dragon of White Flame) is E E Q.
The strongest team is Durin, Venti, Bennett and Faruzan, built around Durin: Pyro · Anemo.
Durin'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.
Light of Foliar Incision is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with CRIT DMG as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on ATK. Calamity of Eshu 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.
