Durin is a 5-Star Pyro character who is likely being added to Genshin Impact during version 6.2.

While Durin should be featured as a boosted 5-Star character on his Banner in version 6.2, he will eventually return to Genshin Impact at some point in the future when the Banner schedule cycles back to him.

If you want to prepare for him, we've listed reliable leaks of Durin's Ascension materials and Talent materials so you can level him up to his full potential right away. To understand how you might play him, we've also detailed what we know about Durin's kit and Constellations.

Keep in mind that this is leaked beta information, so Durin's materials and kit might change upon his official release.

Keeping in mind that this is leaked beta information from Hakush that could change upon Durin's official release, here's a summary of Durin's kit in Genshin Impact:

  • Element: Pyro.
  • Rarity: 5-Star.
  • Weapon: Sword.
  • Normal Attack: Radiant Wingslash.
  • Elemental Skill: Binary Form: Convergence and Division.
  • Elemental Burst: Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts
  • Passive one: Light Manifest of the Divine Calculus - Durin will trigger different buffs depending on the form his power manifests as when he unleashes his Elemental Burst. When that form is:
    • Dragon of White Flame - After nearby party members trigger Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions on an opponent or deal Pyro damage or Dendro damage to an opponent affected by Burning, that opponent's Pyro Resistance, and the Resistance for the corresponding Element involved in the reaction, are decreased by 20% for six seconds.
    • Dragon of Dark Decay - Durin's Vaporize damage is increased by 40% and his Melt damage is increased by 40%.
  • Passive two: Chaos Formed Like the Night - When Durin undergoes Essential Transmutation and enters the Confirmation of Purity or Denial of Darkness states, his Elemental Burst base damage is increased by 1% for every 100 attack up to a maximum of 25% of the base damage.
  • Passive three: Echoes of the Surging Earth - Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Mondstadt Expedition for 20 hours.
  • Passive four: Witch's Eve Rite: Ode to Ascension - After completing Witch's Homework: Of This World, Durin will become a Magic character. When the party includes at least two Magic characters, you will gain the Magic: Secret Rite effect, which enhances Magic characters. This increases the effects of Light Manifest of the Divine Calculus by 75% except for its duration.

Durin Normal Attack - Radiant Wingslash

Durin performs up to four consecutive strikes if tapping the normal attack button.

Holding the attack button down instead makes Durin consume stamina to perform a forwards slash with his sword.

As with most plunging attacks, Durin strikes the ground below dealing AOE (Area of Effect) damage upon impact, and damaging any enemies caught on his path to the ground.

Durin Elemental Skill - Binary Form: Convergence and Division

Durin can undergo an Essential Transmutation, which replaces Convergence and Division with the Elemental Skill Transmutation: Confirmation of Purity. As an added bonus, Radiant Wingslash is replaced with Transmutation: Denial of Darkness.

When looking at these move changes themselves, it's important to note that Confirmation of Purity deals one instance of AOE Pyro damage to nearby opponents. Once used, the Essential Transmutation ends and Durin enters the Confirmation of Purity state for 30 seconds.

Denial of Darkness, meanwhile, allows Durin to deal three consecutive instances of Pyro damage to opponents in front of him. This will also reverse the Essential Transmutation and cause him to enter the Denial of Darkness state for 30 seconds.

In both the Confirmation of Purity and Denial of Darkness state, Durin restores a certain amount of Elemental Energy every six seconds.

Durin Elemental Burst - Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts

The Elemental Bursts offered by Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts depend on Durin's Essential Transmutation state. Though both versions of Durin's Elemental Burst have similar effects.

If Durin is in the Confirmation of Purity state, then he will use Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts. This deals three instances of AOE Pyro damage to opponents in front of him. It also allows him to use the Dragon of White Flame form, which will follow the current active character while periodically attacking nearby opponents. These attacks will deal AOE Pyro damage, with this damage being considered Elemental Burst damage. This Elemental Burst will also be automatically used if Durin is not in an Essential Transmutation state.

Meanwhile, if Durin is in the Denial of Darkness state, the Elemental Burst will Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder. This deals three instances of AOE Pyro damage to opponents in front of Durin and manifests his Dragon of Dark Decay form. Again, this form will follow the current active character and periodically attack a single nearby opponent. This is Pyro damage and considered Elemental Burst damage.

Durin Talent materials

To get the most out of using Durin, you will have to level his skills up by using Talent materials, which vary from character-to-character.

With the latest beta information sourced from honeyhunterworld, for Durin, it looks like you'll need to farm a lot of Warrant, Eroded Sunfire and Ballad materials to fully upgrade his capabilities.

As Durin has three Talents, you will have to spend three times the Talent materials listed below to fully upgrade all of his abilities, which we've also detailed below the table.

Here's what Durin Talent materials you need to improve one of his abilities:

Durin Talent level Durin Talent materials Mora cost
Level 2 x3 Teachings of Ballad, x6 Tattered Warrant 12,500
Level 3 x2 Guide to Ballad, x3 Immaculate Warrant 17,500
Level 4 x4 Guide to Ballad, x4 Immaculate Warrant 25,000

Level 9 x12 Philosophies of Ballad, x9 Frost-Etched Warrant, x2 Eroded Sunfire 450,000
Level 10 x16 Philosophies of Ballad, x12 Frost-Etched Warrant, x2 Eroded Sunfire, x1 Crown of Insight 700,000

Here's what Talent Materials you'll need to fully upgrade one of Durin's skills:

  • x1 Crown of Insight
  • x3 Teachings of Ballad
  • x6 Tattered Warrant
  • x6 Eroded Sunfire
  • x21 Guide to Ballad
  • x22 Immaculate Warrant
  • x31 Frost-Etched Warrant
  • x38 Philosophies of Ballad
  • 1,652,500 Mora

To upgrade all three of Durin's skills, here's all the Talent Materials you'll need:

  • x3 Crown of Insight
  • x9 Teachings of Ballad
  • x18 Tattered Warrant
  • x18 Eroded Sunfire
  • x63 Guide to Ballad
  • x66 Immaculate Warrant
  • x93 Frost-Etched Warrant
  • x114 Philosophies of Ballad
  • 4,957,500 Mora

Remember, this is leaked beta information that could change upon Durin's official release.


Version 6.1 has brought the new 5-Star Nefer and a rerun of Furina. So don't forget to redeem new codes for Primogems to help pull them, and check out our regularly updated tier list. You need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to Wish with Fate for characters on Banners, and you always need the right Adventure Rank for events. Elsewhere, we have tips and tricks for beginners.


Durin Ascension materials

Just like Talents, you need to use Durin Ascension materials to upgrade his health, attack, defence, and critical hit effectiveness.

Based off the same honeyhunterworld beta leaks, it looks like you'll need to farm a lot of Frostlamp Flower and Agnidus Agate materials for Durin to fully upgrade his capabilities.

Unlike Talent materials, you only need to spend the below Ascension materials once to fully raise Durin to his highest character level. There is also Acquaint Fate rewarded for reaching certain Ascension levels. You can spend this Fate on the standard and beginner Banners to Wish for characters and weapons.

Here's what Durin Ascension materials and Mora you need to upgrade him for each Ascension level:

Durin Ascension level Durin Ascension materials Mora cost Ascension reward
Level 20 x1 Agnidus Agate Sliver, x3 Frostlamp Flower, x3 Tattered Warrant 20,000 x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 40 x3 Agnidus Agate Fragment, x2 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core, x10 Frostlamp Flower, x15 Tattered Warrant 40,000 None
Level 50 x6 Agnidus Agate Fragment, x4 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core, x20 Frostlamp Flower, x12 Immaculate Warrant 60,000 x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 60 x3 Agnidus Agate Chunk, x8 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core, x30 Frostlamp Flower, x18 Immaculate Warrant 80,000 None
Level 70 x6 Agnidus Agate Chunk, x12 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core, x45 Frostlamp Flower, x12 Frost-Etched Warrant 100,000 x1 Acquaint Fate
Level 80 x6 Agnidus Agate Gemstone, x20 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core, x60 Frostlamp Flower, x24 Frost-Etched Warrant 120,000 None

In total, here's all the Ascension Materials you need for Durin in Genshin Impact:

  • x1 Agnidus Agate Sliver
  • x6 Agnidus Agate Gemstone
  • x9 Agnidus Agate Fragment
  • x9 Agnidus Agate Chunk
  • x18 Tattered Warrant
  • x30 Immaculate Warrant
  • x36 Frost-Etched Warrant
  • x46 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core
  • x168 Frostlamp Flower
  • 420,000 Mora

Once again, this is leaked beta information, so Durin's materials could change upon his official release.

Durin Constellations

By getting duplicates of Durin from wishing on his Banner, you will receive his Stella Fortuna. This material allows you to unlock Constellation levels, with each upgrade either improving an existing Talent or Passive ability.

With thanks to Hakush again for sourcing this leaked beta information, here are all of Durin's Constellations in Genshin Impact:

  • Adamah's Redemption (C1): After casting his Elemental Burst, Durin's effects will vary depending on the form of his Elemental Burst. Keep in mind that, when an Elemental Burst is used, the Cycle of Enlightenment stacks described below will be reset.
    • Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts: All nearby characters in the party gain 18 stacks of Cycle of Enlightenment lasting 20 seconds. When nearby active characters deal normal attack, charged attack, plunging attack, Elemental Skill, or Elemental Burst damage, one stack of Cycle of Enlightenment will be consumed to increase the damage dealt by 60% of Durin's attack. Stack counts for characters in the party who have Cycle of Enlightenment are managed individually.
    • Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder: Durin gains 18 stacks of Cycle of Enlightenment lasting 20 seconds. When Durin deals Elemental Burst damage, two stacks of Cycle of Enlightenment will be consumed to increase the damage dealt by 200% of Durin's attack.
  • Unground Visions (C2): For 20 seconds after Durin uses an Elemental Burst, after nearby party members trigger Vaporize, Melt, Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize reactions or deal Pyro damage or Dendro damage to an opponent affected by Burning, all nearby party members will gain a 50% increase to their Pyro damage and to the corresponding element damage involved in the reaction for six seconds.
  • Flame Mirror's Revelation (C3): Increases the Level of Durin's Elemental Burst by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
  • Emanare's Source (C4): For 20 seconds after triggering Adamah's Redemption and gaining the Cycle of Enlightenment effect, Durin's Elemental Burst damage is increased by 40%, while Cycles of Enlightenment will gain a 30% chance to not be consumed when their consumption is triggered.
  • Scouring Flame's Sundering (C5): Increases the Level of Durin's Elemental Skill by three, with a maximum upgrade level of 15.
  • Dual Birth (C6): Durin's Elemental Burst damage ignores 30% of opponents' defense. Additionally, Durin's Elemental Bursts are each enhanced:
    • After Principle of Purity: As the Light Shifts and Dragon of White Flame hit an opponent, that opponent's defense is decreased by 30% for six seconds.
    • Damage from Principle of Darkness: As the Stars Smolder and Dragon of Dark Decay will ignore an additional 40% of opponents' defense.

Good luck levelling up Durin in Genshin Impact!
