Genshin Impact Durin Kit: Talents and Constellations
Durin’s kit crumbs have been leaked on Reddit, revealing him to be a strong off-field Pyro and support player. Here is a quick view of everything we know about Durin’s kit.
Genshin Impact Durin Kit Explanation
- Durin’s multiple forms: Durin has multiple forms that unlock different ability effects. After using his Elemental Skill, Durin enters an enhanced state that changes his Elemental Skill and Normal attack. In his enhanced state, using his Elemental Skill makes him enter the Confirmation of Purity state, and using his Normal Attack makes him enter the Denial of Darkness state. Both these states allow different applications for his Burst.
- Durin’s Burst: Durin’s Elemental Burst also works differently based on his current form. In both forms, Durin deals consecutive instances of AoE Pyro damage in front of him. The differences come after, in the Purity state, Durin summons a white dragon that deals periodic Pyro damage and follows the on-field character, while in his Darkness state, he summons a dark dragon that does essentially the same thing. Both of these dragons have additional effects that are based on their passives.
- White Dragon summon: When triggering Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions on an opponent, it reduces Pyro and the corresponding elements’ resistances on enemies by 20%.
- Dark Dragon summon: Increases Vaporize and Melt damage for Durin by 40%.
- Hexenzirkel Dependency: After becoming a Magic character, Durin will increase the effects of his passive that reduces Elemental resistance and increases his Vaporize and Melt damage when he also has two other magic characters in the team.
