Team Strategy Notes

His best team is classic Vaporize: Diluc + Xingqiu + Bennett + Sucrose (or Kazuha). Rotation: Xingqiu Q+E → Bennett Q+E → Sucrose E → Diluc E ×3 with normals between each → Q → continue attacking. His three skill charges should be spaced out so each one triggers Xingqiu's rainswords. The F2P version is the same team with Sucrose and no 5-star weapons.

Rotation Guide

E x3 >> Q >> N4 spam

The rotation matters more than raw stats for this team. Practice the order until it becomes muscle memory — the difference between a smooth rotation and a messy one can be 30-40% of team DPS. Key tips: always snapshot buffs before the main damage window, and don't waste energy by overcapping.

Team Building Tips

Reaction coverage: Make sure your team enables Diluc's best reactions. For a Pyro unit, this means having the right off-field aura appliers.
Energy requirements: Check every teammate's ER needs. Diluc's rotation depends on everyone having their burst ready on time.
Survivability: Include a healer or shielder unless Diluc can sustain themselves. Comfort lets you focus on damage.
Upgrade path: Start with the F2P team, then upgrade one slot at a time as you pull better units.
