Genshin Impact Version 6.2 New 5-Star Character Durin | Builds, Weapons, Artifacts And More
Posted: Dec 01, 2025 Views: 1426
Even if you're a die-hard fan of older Genshin Impact characters, you have to admit that new characters always garner more attention, especially those mentioned in previous main storylines, at least before and after a new version release.
While Durin doesn't entirely possess this quality, as the only new 5-star character in Version 6.2, he has still sparked a heated discussion within Genshin Impact player community.
Aesthetically, Durin is undeniably appealing. His attire is predominantly purple, his features are refined, and his demeanor is as haughty as a legendary vampire or demon. However, in contrast, he wields the power of fire - a Pyro character.
So, if you plan to obtain this character in Luna III and have him aid you in battle, what should you do? We'll tell you.

How To Obtain Durin?
This character will be released on December 3rd along with Version 6.2 Phase 1. His exclusive banner, Rubedo of White Stone Born, will also be available at that time, allowing you to consume Primogems to try to obtain him.
Note that this banner will only last until December 23rd. Therefore, if you haven't pulled Durin by the end of the phase, it's best to immediately obtain Genesis Crystals through Genshin Impact top up to exchange for more Primogems.
What Kind Of Character Is Durin?
This five-star character is a Pyro elemental DPS character who uses a sword. Other important basic stats are as follows:
- Attack: 346
- Defense: 822
- HP: 12430
- Bonus Stat: 38.4% Crit Damage
Based on the trailer and other information, Durin possesses very strong burst fire damage output potential, comparable to other classic Pyro characters in Genshin Impact.
Furthermore, after using her Elemental Burst skill for a period of time, Durin can continuously apply Pyro damage to enemies and reduce their Pyro and other corresponding elemental resistances after other teammates create Pyro-related reactions.
Despite his immense damage output, Durin is surprisingly easy to use. He synergizes well with most Genshin Impact characters, making him an ideal off-field support by boosting the team's damage output.
The only thing to note is that maximizing his power relies heavily on Elemental Bursts. Therefore, you must constantly monitor your team's resource allocation and timing of the attacks.

Which Is More Worthwhile: C1 Or Signature Weapon?
In Genshin Impact, if you pull a character twice or more from banners, that character will gain an upgrade called Constellations. Each upgrade is called C1, and so on.
On the other hand, when a five-star character is first released, the game equips them with a unique signature weapon, further enhancing their overall abilities. However, like obtaining Constellation, this requires consuming resources to pull from banners.
Since both of these enhancement methods have very low drop rates, you often have to choose one. For Durin, the effects of his C1 and Signature Weapon are as follows:
- C1: Provides a damage buff to all allies by stacking Enlightenment.
- Signature Weapon: Provides a 6% ATK buff to all allies, while also increasing Durin's Elemental Burst damage.
Comparatively, C1 provides a higher overall team buff, and Enlightenment is easy to accumulate, allowing for rapid multi-layer stacks to boost the entire team's output. If you're lucky enough to upgrade to C2 or C3, the effect is even stronger.
Of course, whichever approach you choose, it requires sufficient Primogems. Otherwise, to avoid being unable to pull other characters later, focus on other methods to enhance Durin.
How To Craft Builds For Durin?
Durin's combat value lies in boosting allies' damage output while serving as a supportive off-field secondary DPS. Therefore, equipping him with his Signature Weapon, Athame Artis, is undoubtedly the best choice.
Alternatively, you can consider another five-star weapon, Noblesse Oblige. It maximizes Durin's off-field output by increasing his Elemental Burst damage.
If your resources are limited and you can only obtain a maximum of four-star weapons, then R5 Wolf-Fang or Moonweaver's Dawn are the top choices. They are not only easier to obtain from banners, but can also be acquired directly by completing missions.
If all else fails, the three-star weapon Harbinger of Dawn is worth using, but you must refine it to level 5 to increase its critical hit rate. In summary, all available weapons are as follows:
- Athame Artis: 5-Star
- Primordial Jade Cutter: 5-Star
- Mistsplitter Reforged: 5-Star
- Absolution: 5-Star
- Wolf-Fang: 4-Star
- Moonweaver's Dawn: 4-Star
- Harbinger of Dawn: 3-Star
After deciding on your weapon, you need to further increase Druin's attack power to at least 2500 based on his existing stats to fully utilize his passive skill.
Next, you'll need to boost his damage output by stacking Elemental Energy, Crit Rate, or Crit DMG, and stack Elemental DMG Reduction for him when there are no other Pyro characters in your party.
How To Choose Artifacts?
In Genshin Impact, artifacts are equipable items, which you can think of as armor or accessories. They increase character stats, and equipping multiple artifacts from the same set grants powerful set bonuses.
If you're utilizing Durin in combat, prioritize artifacts and sets that boost Elemental Burst DMG, ATK, or Pyro DMG, such as 4-piece Noblesse Oblige - which enhances Durin while also providing an ATK bonus to allies.
With Version 6.2 coming soon, if you're interested in the new character Durin, start accumulating resources to acquire him as soon as possible, and then utilize him using our guide to experience various adventures in Luna III! Good luck!
