The Crimson Witch of Flames set fits perfectly with Diluc's abilities and playstyle. If maximizing Diluc's damage is the goal, then this is the set that should be farmed for.

Substats | CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, ATK%, Elemental Mastery |
An alternative build for Diluc is grabbing any Artifact set that provides +18% ATK. It does less damage compared to the best set, but near-perfect substats can close the gap in damage.

Though the talent priority is Diluc's Elemental Skill, then Normal Attack, and lastly Burst, it is important to keep all three talents equally leveled.

Diluc's Constellations | |
---|---|
C1 |
Conviction Diluc deals 15% more DMG to enemies whose HP is above 50%. |
C2 |
Searing Ember When Diluc takes DMG, his ATK increases by 10% and his ATK SPD increases by 5%. Lasts for 10s. This effect can stack up to 3 times and can only occur once every 1.5s. |
C3 |
Fire and Steel Increases the Level of Searing Onslaught by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C4 |
Flowing Flame Casting Searing Onslaught in sequence greatly increases damage dealt. Within 2s of using Searing Onslaught, casting the next Searing Onslaught in the combo deals 40% additional DMG. This effect lasts for the next 2s. |
C5 |
Phoenix, Harbinger of Dawn Increases the Level of Dawn by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
C6 |
Flaming Sword, Nemesis of Dark After casting Searing Onslaught, the next 2 Normal Attacks within the next 6s will have their DMG and ATK SPD increased by 30%. Additionally, Searing Onslaught will not interrupt the Normal Attack combo. |
Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
---|---|---|
C1 | ★★☆ |
• Deal 15% more damage if enemy HP is more than 50%. • A simple buff that helps defeat enemies faster, but offers no value once enemies are below 50%. |
C2 | ★★★ |
• Gain a stack whenever Diluc takes damage. • Still works even if Diluc has shields. |
Contrary to the description, this constellation still activates if Diluc takes damage while shielded. However, Diluc will need to be paired with a shielder to take advantage of this unless you plan on taking damage on purpose.

![]() Elemental Skill: Searing Onslaught |
Diluc's Elemental Skill, Searing Onslaught, has the power to interrupt enemies with each of its hits. This can be used strategically to stop certain enemies from moving or using certain skills.
![]() |
Being a claymore user, Diluc can tear through shields with ease. Being a Pyro character offers Diluc even more utility against shields having very strong elemental reactions with non-pyro element shields.
Diluc's Elemental Burst, Dawn, summons a flaming phoenix towards enemies dealing AoE Pyro DMG. It also imbues Diluc's claymore with Pyro, giving you a lot of opportunities to dish out Elemental Reactions.
You can get Diluc from the limited-time Event Wish Banners, and from the Standard Wish Banner at a normal rate because he is a standard 5-Star character!

Oh, Master Diluc? Last time, when I was performing at Angel's Share, he kept frowning... Maybe he doesn't like my singing? |
![]() |
Diluc... I can't stand him! If there was no Diluc, there would be no Mondstadt wine industry; if there was no Mondstadt wine industry, Daddy wouldn't drink; and if Daddy didn't drink... he would keep me company. Ohhhh... |
![]() |
I don't get along with some of the knights, and he doesn't think much of them in general, so you'd think that would make us allies. But the way he always acts so aloof - he's even worse than Acting Grand Master Jean. I want nothing to do with him. |
![]() |
Disillusion: Master Diluc has his reasons for being so critical of the Knights of Favonius. I am not proud of the way things went, but I cannot change the past. All I can do is keep working hard, in the hope he may one day see us in a better light... This is my duty.
Respect: Master Diluc is my senior, and I have the utmost respect for him. Though we have gone separate ways, I can sense we share the same strong commitment to protecting Mondstadt at all costs. |
![]() |
Diluc? He was cute as a young lad. But nowadays he just seems to be in a world of his own... Overall, not much fun to hang out with. |
![]() |
He's one of the weird grown-ups. He's so grumpy all the time... Why does he never smile? |
![]() |
You want to know about Diluc? Haha, in that case, I know someone else you should talk to. |
![]() |
Diluc Ragnvindr. His constellation, Noctua, represents vigilance in the darkness of night... A lone guardian keeping watch, longing for the splendor of dawn, yet destined to solitude in the dark days preceding its arrival. ...Or, wait, maybe Noctua's the one tied to wealth...? |
![]() |
Diluc is red and black. Hot and cold. |
![]() |
Isn't it obvious? There's more than meets the eye to that rich tycoon. He's confident, yet discreet... and even a little bit dangerous. |
![]() |
I'm not surprised you want to befriend Master Diluc. Just think of all the vintage wine he must have stored away... Mwuhahaha... Huh? He doesn't let you sample it? Not even the slightest drop? Huh... Well, I guess you can still appreciate the aroma. That's still better than no wine at all, right? No? |

About Diona Diona's attitude towards me is... how should I put it? Rather rigid. I've yet to find the opportunity to speak with her properly. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my family line or— Oh? It's not? She simply despises alcohol? Huh... I never thought I'd come across another bartender like myself in Mondstadt. |
![]() |
About Eula Ah yes... I've heard about her. She has her own convictions. Her determination to liberate herself from the shackles of her clan is praiseworthy. But, she's... joined the Knights of Favonius. |
![]() |
About Jean Enemies: Trifling matters can become Jean's greatest enemy. Responsibilities: Her unparalleled sense of responsibility is the sole reason why she still hasn't found her true calling. |
![]() |
About Kaeya Kaeya? You can only trust half of what he says... at best. |
![]() |
About Lisa I believe Lisa has the potential to become the most reliable of the knights. If she's willing. |
![]() |
About Mona The land of Mondstadt, by the Anemo Archon's grace, is bountiful. I see no need for the harvest forecasts of astrologers. |
![]() |
About Varka Grand Master Varka... Whilst I understand his disposition, I can make no sense of his actions ...IーI've said too much already. I've long since left the Knights of Favonius. Forget I said anything. |
