Elemental Skill – Binary Form: Convergence and Division

His skill has 2 primary purposes.

1. Choosing his form

The Dark form is activated by using Skill -> Attack.

The Light form is activated by using Skill -> Skill.

2. Restoring energy

Just by choosing a form, Durin will get Elemental Energy.

The energy gain scales with talent level.

At talent level 9, the skill restores 30 energy.

Durin’s Elemental Burst requires 70 energy, which means his skill can restore half the energy required for his burst by itself, including the energy particles generated.

Elemental Burst – Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts

Durin’s Elemental Burst is his main form of damage.

Its effects change depending on Durin’s form.

The Dark form (Skill -> Attack) is single target and primarily for Vaporize and Melt teams.

The Light form (Skill -> Skill) is multi target and works for every other team.

Durin’s ascension talents add extra effects to his Burst.

The first, Light Manifest of the Divine Calculus, emphasizes his role in different teams.

The Dark form focuses on improving Durin’s personal damage in Vaporize and Melt teams.

The Light form focuses on how Durin improves the damage of party members in other teams.

With at least 1 other Hexerei member on your team, these effects are boosted.

The second, Chaos Formed Like the Night, just increases the damage of his Burst.

It scales off of Durin’s ATK, increasing his damage for every 100 ATK until 2500 ATK.

What does Durin bring?

Hexerein

Durin is our first new Hexerein character.

As an off-field character, Durin can work with many teams.

Since the Hexerein passives require at least 2 characters to activate, Durin will be quite helpful if you’re looking to try these new effects out.

Consider pulling for Durin to open up Hexerein teams.

Pyro Sub-DPS

While Pyro is a pretty popular element, it has a lack of characters who reliably deal Pyro damage while they’re not the active character.

Xiangling is coveted by many teams, Mavuika has the potential to do more on-field, and other options are rather niche.

Durin’s kit is perfectly suited for applying Pyro off-field and his resistance shred will boost the damage of your main DPS as well.

Consider pulling for Durin if you need another Pyro sub-DPS.
