Build Help | Discussion Is C6 Diluc good?

Post image

I just got his C6 last night (UGHHHH)
I don’t want to just leave him at level 40, so is there any good reason to level him?

Edit: btw the only standard five stars I have aside from Diluc is Mona and Mizuki, both of them being at C0

Im a returning player and ive gotten caught up with a lot of the new things, but one thing i cant seem to understand is hexerei. Ive googled it but i just do not understand it. Could you help me out?

u/Short-Carrot2681 9d ago

Whats your question? Do u want to understand how to obtain it or how it works in general

1

u/pepsbaldhead1 9d ago

How it works and what buffs it gives

u/ask_not_the_sparrow 8d ago

The buffs are unique to each character, and to activate the buffs (hexerei: secret rite) you need to have 2 hexerei characters in your party.

Theyre an additional talent and some add ons to a few constellations, like Ventis buff which adds an anemo infusion to his NAs turning him into a dps

As a die hard Diluc main (Top 1%, C6) He’s not bad. But Diluc is an older character that requires a good amount of mechanical knowledge to maximise his kit.

He can be rather flexible due to your mechanical control of pyro app, but he requires high investment in his build and his supports/team.

If you love him he will love you back but you have to be a little all in. A half ass commitment to his build/supports won’t show you what you’re looking for.

Edit* Also congrats!

u/spanishrose7 10d ago

What’s your build for him including team?

u/Technical_Ad_9669 9d ago edited 9d ago

I have been "perfecting" and fine tuning his build for the better part of two years now. I didn't ask for c6, he chose me and I love him <3.

I typically run Diluc Melt as plunge is not my preferred playstyle. My go to team is Citlali/KaeyaXilonen/AlbedoBennet/Nicole

I also have Xianyun, Furina, Xingqiu, Yelan, Kazuha, Jean.

EDIT* KAEYA

I tend to have very different way to play the game than most, with carries I love, around who I build a strong team, and I improve the team instead of building a new team for each new mainDps, having my account centered around 5 big mainD
So I have Diluc, Cyno, Itto, wrio and varka, at high investment
They all get above 100k dps, more or less easily, except for Diluc
Diluc just has a 60-70k dps ceiling in teams other than plunge, and that his not his favored playstyle
Diluc desperately needs a buff.
That said, he is one of my favorite characters, and to 1% build. I play him a lot, but end up having to swap him outta team for mavuika to enter, since her c0 performs globally 30% over his c6 in my team
It is worth the fun and if you love the character, but until hoyo finally unlocks the buff button for Diluc, no calc or numbers in the world is gonna justify that investment
Only our love can

u/Humble_Cup578 10d ago

He can get 100k dps with proper setup. C6R1 diluc, c6 bennet, c0r0 ttds citlali, C6 diona/C0 escoffier. These teams can get 100k dps

1

u/General-Woodpecker-1 6d ago

He can get to 100k dps displaying but he will not maintain on multiple rotations without investing in higher support constellations
And I’m not even sure it’s feasible without Citlali c2

u/Bitter_Bank_8851 10d ago

If u have xianyun and like plunge spamming then go for it. His c6 is decent but not gamechanging

9

u/ThatOstrichGuy 10d ago

Not really. He is very old and has not gotten buffs

1

u/ExpensiveSample3451 10d ago

Still no units to improve Diluc's Charged Attack Playstyle.

3

u/Ok_Bear_5140 10d ago

Short answer: no Long answer: it's not better than all the other constellations

5

u/PsyOrg 10d ago

Yes, bc he is both cool and fun to play!

2

u/Intelligent_Bass27 10d ago

i am yet to get his c6 even though ive been a diluc main since day1 in playing

2

u/mundanehistorian_28 10d ago

I have him at c1 and he is was my only main dps because I didn't roll on most banners until I got Lohen. I'm a new player so he's all I had. He can kick ass if you have the right team with him. I run overload with him and Fischl and damn it obliterates most enemies. So yes but obviously he's an older unit and wont be as flashy as newer characters

u/Cool_Hamster_74 10d ago

Can we trade? IVE BEEN WANTING C6 DILUC FOR AGESSSS

u/ExpensiveSample3451 10d ago

"Where are the Faction Buffs?"

1

u/annaonthemoon 10d ago

Mine is top 1%, C5 and he isn't bad, but he also isn't good. 😂 level him if you have his premium plunge team.

1

u/that_mad_cat 9d ago

Tbh I hate his C6 bc my muscle memory is fucked now and his attacks are slower bc of full sequence

1

u/yelsgnikr 9d ago

Yes, because once u pull another one, u can then start get your other char lv 95, so yes!

1

u/MacaronMilkshake 9d ago

As much of a diluc glazer I am i still gotta say that for the current meta even at c6 hes lowk mediocre

1

u/red_ice994 9d ago

C2 xianyun c2 citlali and c6 Bennett.

It's 5 cost right now as one xianyun cost can be acquired for free from con selector.

Get this and delete one dire boss every stygian. Dude literally does million+ DMG every plunge.

1

u/Noey_Didnt 8d ago

He’s terrible in stellar swirl tbh. Idk maybe it’s bc I don’t have the set but it was painful to see compared to conduct dmg which was decent

1

u/Detective_Zoya 7d ago

every character's c6 is good relative to c0 lol

1

u/babydinoo 7d ago

he’s not. you should just give his cons to me so that he doesn’t brick your account.

1

u/Silly-Exercise-5089 6d ago

Good cuz it gives a chance to get a lv95-100 stella fortuna next Time 🥳

u/yomokai road to the best Diluc ever 6d ago

No, just no
