04:46 - 05:21
3. 🌱 Durin's Ascension Materials and Talent Priority
- ✅ Durin requires a combination of materials from the Nodcrai region and materials from the Mondstadt/Natlan regions.
- ✅ It is best to prioritize leveling up the Elemental Burst (Ultimate).
- ✅ The Elemental Skill damage contribution is not significant, but it is recommended to level it to around 8-9 due to its energy recharge effect.
- ✅ Most of the materials can be farmed in advance, and the new field boss drop will be farmable in the next version.
05:22 - 06:43
4. 🔥 Whiteflame Dragon Mechanics: Skill Activation and Pyro Sub-DPS
- ✅ When the skill is activated, it emits a passionate flame, preparing to select White Flame or Black Flame.
- ✅ Pressing the skill button again deals damage to nearby enemies and enters the White Flame state, gaining 4 Pyro particles.
- ✅ When using Elemental Burst in the White Flame state, it deals AoE damage 3 times to enemies in front, becoming the Blazing Flame Dragon state.
- ✅ The Blazing Flame Dragon state performs Pyro sub-DPS that persists even after Durin leaves the field, attacking once per second and applying Pyro every 2 seconds.
- ✅ When there are no enemies, it circles around the on-field character, and when there are enemies, it chases them, creating a Pyro ring.
06:44 - 07:21
5. 🌑 Blackflame Dragon Mechanics: Normal Attack Q Utilization and Single-Target DPS Specialization
- ✅ Can be activated by using Normal Attack Q, dealing skill damage 3 times with slightly higher scaling than Blazing Flame Dragon.
- ✅ When using Elemental Burst, it gains a fierce look and deals AoE damage with slightly higher scaling than White Flame Dragon.
- ✅ After Durin leaves the field, it flies towards the enemy in the form of a small missile, attacking once every 1.2 seconds and applying Pyro every 2.5 seconds.
- ✅ The range of chasing enemies is wide, making it good for single-target combat and dealing with enemies in the air.
07:22 - 08:46
6. 🔄 Elemental Combat Skill Energy Recharge Usage: EQ, Q2 Normal, E2Q Normal Comparison
- ✅ There are three ways to use White Flame/Black Flame Dragon: EQ, Q2 Normal, E2Q Normal.
- ✅ EQ can reduce motion delay and speed up the cycle, but there may be restrictions when using Black Flame Dragon mode.
- ✅ Q2 Normal can reduce the energy recharge burden by receiving 33 energy from the talent.
- ✅ To fight in Black Flame Dragon mode, you must use 2 Normal Q at the first cycle, and from the subsequent cycles, you can use Q2 Normal/E2Q Normal to use Black Flame Dragon.
08:47 - 10:02
7. ✨ Passive Skill: Sacred Light Formula and Magic Character Team Effects
- ✅ When White Flame Dragon persists, it reduces the resistance of the element involved in the reaction by 20% along with Pyro (excluding Hydro and Cryo).
- ✅ When Black Flame Dragon persists, the damage dealt by Vaporize/Melt reactions triggered by the character is increased by 40%.
- ✅ If 2 or more Magic characters are in the party, the resistance reduction/amplification reaction buff amount is increased by 75%.
- ✅ 7 Mondstadt characters are considered Magic characters.
10:03 - 11:00
8. 🔥 Passive Skill: Black Chaos Structure and the Importance of 2500 Attack
- ✅ After using Elemental Burst, gain 10 stacks for 20 seconds, and when White Flame/Black Flame Dragon persists, consume 1 stack per attack to enhance damage.
- ✅ Since only 1 stack is consumed even when hitting multiple enemies in multi-target situations, it is specialized for multi-target combat.
- ✅ A high variance of 3% per 100 Attack is applied, up to a maximum of 75%.
- ✅ You need to secure 2500 Attack based on party buffs to receive the full 75% effect.
- ✅ There is a life talent that increases the rewards gained when dispatching Mondstadt exploration.
11:01 - 11:46
9. ⚔️ Actual Damage and Overload Team Demonstration
- ✅ In Overload teams, it is best to operate in White Flame Dragon state to reduce Electro resistance.
- ✅ If Chevreuse is C6, you need to receive the heal tick twice to receive more buffs.
- ✅ Based on decent stats, White Flame persistent sub-DPS is slightly over 40,000.
- ✅ Based on an 18-second cycle, Durin's damage alone with C0 and signature weapon is about 580,000, and you can expect a DPS of about 30,000 or more.
- ✅ If you go with a Vaporize build, Durin's damage alone can exceed 1,000,000.
11:47 - 12:05
10. 🔋 Durin's Recommended Energy Recharge: Summary of Required Amount by Team Composition
- ✅ Around 130 is sufficient for Overload/3 Pyro teams.
- ✅ You need to secure a little more for Overload 2 Pyro teams.
- ✅ If it is a solo Pyro team, it is best to secure up to around 160, but it is better to give Favonius to party members and lower it to 140.
12:06 - 12:43
11. 🗡️ Recommended Weapons: Signature Weapon, Jade Cutter, Homa, Wolf Fang, etc.
- ✅ Durin has many usable weapons.

- ✅ Signature Weapon and Jade Cutter are top tier, and Homa, Haran, Mistsplitter, and Wolf Fang show similar efficiency.
- ✅ The craftable weapon Finale is cost-effective.
12:44 - 13:53
12. 🏆 Recommended Artifact Options and Set Effects
- ✅ The sands should be Attack, and the goblet can be either Pyro DMG/Attack.
- ✅ Pyro goblet is more than 10% better based on Overload teams.
- ✅ Crit Rate/Crit DMG is recommended for the circlet, and if you use an Attack circlet, you need to consider a difference of about 10%.
- ✅ Prioritize securing Crit stats as substats as they have high value.
- ✅ Secure 2500 Attack based on party buffs, and secure the necessary amount of Energy Recharge.
- ✅ Emblem of Severed Fate 4-piece is the best, and Noblesse Oblige 4-piece is also good.
