Best 5 Star Weapon

Wolf’s Gravestone

Wolf’s Gravestone is a 5-star claymore and is Diluc’s signature Weapon. On top of its already high 608 Base ATK, it has a bonus stat of up to ATK 49.6%. However, the weapon’s true strength lies in its powerful passive effect. 

The passive effect not only increases the wielder’s ATK by 20%, but it also triggers an attack boost for all party members when the wielder hits an enemy with less than 30% HP. This party-wide ATK boost can be a game-changer, making it an invaluable weapon for Diluc to maximize his potential as a DPS character while also buffing his allies.

Best F2P Weapon

Prototype Archaic

Prototype Archaic is another great weapon option for Diluc. Its bonus stat of ATK 25.1% provides a decent boost to his ATK, while its passive skill can deal additional damage to enemies with a small AoE.

Prototype Archaic is an ideal weapon for Diluc due to its passive effect that can deal extra damage with a 50% chance to enemies with a small AoE on hit with Normal or Charge Attacks. Even though it is not as powerful as Wolf’s Gravestone, the extra damage provided by this weapon is still considerable. Moreover, Diluc can take advantage of its AoE effect to deal damage to multiple enemies simultaneously, making it a perfect weapon for players who enjoy an aggressive playstyle and prefer to take on multiple enemies at once.

Crimson Witch of Flames

Set Pieces	Set Piece Bonus
2-Piece Bonus	Pyro DMG Bonus +15%.
4-Piece Bonus	Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental Skill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s. Max 3 stacks.

Crimson Witch of Flames is one of the best artifact sets for DPS Diluc. The 2-piece bonus provides a flat 15% increase to Pyro damage, which is a useful bonus for any Pyro character. However, it’s the 4-piece bonus that makes this set shine.

The 4-piece bonus of Crimson Witch of Flames boosts the damage of Pyro-based reactions such as Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon by 40%. It also increases the damage of Vaporize and Melt reactions triggered by combining Pyro with Hydro or Cryo elements by 15%.
