Durin Build Guide (Genshin Impact): Weapons, Constellation & Team Setup Recommendations
(Info Updated on 15 December 2025)

Durin is a flexible support DPS in Genshin Impact. As of Luna II, build him with Noblesse Oblige set and Athame Artis for better support utility.

Durin is a Pyro sword character in Genshin Impact. He is an off-field support DPS, debuting as the first Hexerei unit. He has two different forms to either support his team, or deal greater personal damage, making him a flexible pick. Durin's debut marks the emergence of Hexerei synergy, thus there is no doubt that there will be more Hexerei units and a dedicated artifact set in the future. Players who wish to form a future Hexerei team can start with adding Durin into their roster.
1. Build Guide: Role, Mechanics & Team Use
Character Introduction
Durin is a Pyro sword character.
Role & Mechanics
Durin is an off-field support DPS, capable of either shred RES or deal greater DMG. The potency of both capabilities will see a greater increase when Hexerei synergy is triggered.
Meta Relevance
Durin's flexibility aside, his role as the Pyro off-fielder makes him a great pick among meta teams. He will also be an important part of the future Hexerei teams, which will see a lot of usage in coming endgame content.
Pros & Cons
Durin has great support or DPS capabilities, granting him a wide range of flexible team options. The only caveats however, are that his full potential is locked behind Hexerei synergy and he is extremely reliant on his Burst.
Build
Durin should be built with either 4-piece Noblesse Oblige set or 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate set, focusing on ATK, Pyro and Crit stats, preferably having around 60~70% Crit R. and 2K ATK or above. His best weapon is Athame Artis (5★), with Primodial Jade Cutter (5★), Wolf-Fang (4★), or Lion's Roar (4★) as substitutes. His Burst should be your talent leveling priority, followed by Skill. His C2 is recommended for his teamwide DMG buff utility, no matter restrictions on reactions or his dragon forms.
Pull Priority
A must-pull for players either needing a Pyro off-fielder or hoping to build a team for future Hexerei DPS units.

5. Conclusion — Is Durin Worth Pulling?
Despite Durin shares similar role as Pyro off-fielder with characters like Mavuika or Xiangling, what makes him stand out among others is his flexible utility as a support DPS. Having Hexerei synergy in his kit also means that he will be a potential core unit for future Hexerei teams, aiding his teams dominating coming endgame contents.
Whether you're a F2P player or a meta-driven competitor, Durin undoubtedly shines in different teams, even more so when more Hexerei units join in the fray later on. If you're looking to get ready for a future Hexerei team lineup, or just want an extra Pyro off-fielder, Durin remains a highly recommended option to go after.
