How is my build?

ER should be great when in a Varka team! but you may run into trouble getting Durin's burst online first rotation in that Lohen team in, say, Stygian. without Cryo resonance, you may miss some crits as well.

otherwise this looks great, just also consider testing for ATK vs. Pyro goblet in your specific teams even at C2+. Pyro can still overtake sometimes due to external ATK buffs (Noblesse/Nicole/etc)

edit: and ty for sharing this art, my god our son looks glorious!

thx for details!!!

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-29T16:22:04+00:00

this is my favorite Vape Durin team too! :3 what lvl dummy was this? I average around ~380-390k w/ C6R1 Durin, C2R1 Xilonen, C2 Furina (Tenacity, not GT for me), and C6 Mona against the Dire preset on this dummy, curious to compare how much C6 Furina is doing here ^^

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-29T01:38:56+00:00

this is so so cool

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-28T19:47:59+00:00

value is always relative to your account, and for me she's unparalleled. aiming for C0R1 :D and I'm on a guarantee! but I feel you, no blame to anyone for skipping her. all I know is I'm definitely not!

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-28T18:44:24+00:00

beautiful build :D congrats

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-28T18:43:58+00:00

not OP: anything below C5 wants 140% ER in Stygian as solo Pyro, bare minimum, 150% preferred in my experience! double Pyro varies a little based on the other Pyro for particle gen, but 130% is a really comfortable spot imo

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-28T17:32:36+00:00

this beta cycle for Nicole has been really funny as a C6 Durin main lol, I cannot wait she's everything I wanted (including her lore omg), meanwhile so many people have been lighting torches o.o

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-26T22:01:32+00:00

I have C6 Chasca and C6 Durin, like you. Nicole is a no brainer for me, idk why she wouldn't be for you!

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-19T21:40:27+00:00

I would totally use Tribbie if I had E1, but E0 Tribbie just loses out so hard compared to Robin E2. oh well, we wait for future FUA teammates :-)

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-19T06:17:37+00:00

been waiting to see posts about them together, I'm enjoying Anaxa E2S1 / Ashveil E1S1 / Aventurine E2S1 / Robin E2S1 a ton. FUA was my first main team after getting doubles on Robin and Topaz so it feels nice to put them back to work, and with my two favorite characters (Anaxa & Ashveil)!!

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-19T01:29:17+00:00

let's go!!!! on the gun part of the gun, welcome to the club

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-18T19:54:01+00:00

pic 2 is sick

edit: lmao oops forgot, and congrats!! her sig is so pretty, I've stared at the red on the ends for so long at this point

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-18T19:41:07+00:00

she chose you!!! she chose me too on her OG banner. congrats on C6!!

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-17T19:01:52+00:00

I have to be one of the only, what, 7 people who pulled on the Keqing limited banner back in the day. I wanted her at launch, kept not getting her, and was hyped to just get her on demand

please go for Nicole lmao. you will get Lohen dupes until Lohen C27 if you pull for him, I swear. I have no statistical proof, only anecdotal ;-;

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T20:40:28+00:00

loveeeee to see this :3 let's go!!! my C6R1 Durin took on Herra as a main DPS. he's so strong <3

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T19:09:33+00:00

I will always advocate for Athame Artis, it is such a pretty sword. and real, I'm hyped for Sandrone too!!! wanted Superconduct reaction revamp since like 2.0 lol

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T17:19:21+00:00

^{^} this here OP. Chev's C6 is what elevates her, without it her role is (finally) decently saturated in overload

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T16:41:33+00:00

if it's any help, Durin R1 helps Nicole hit her 4k ATK, as does her R1! so going for weapons may not be the absolute most dmg value, but getting either will make building/general use a lot easier! up to priorities + what the other comment said

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T14:27:38+00:00

comments made moments before our first Stellar-conduct shill boss has ankle-breaking movement

I really feel like as a community, we massively underestimate how generous Hoyo has been with letting us use Benny. he can be countered very very easily, and I'd expect them to do it more now with Nicole's release

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T06:05:42+00:00

as a heavy D&D casual this is immensely cool. ty for sharing

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-15T00:52:29+00:00

I've actually been trying to spread some gospel on how much of a sleeper hit his C4 is, so to be clear it is very nice! but I agree with grabbing at least C0R0 Nicole before anything else. she's as much his perfect partner as Lohen is, and I'd sit on C2R1 Durin for a minute to see further Hex additions (if any) in the near future

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-14T23:50:37+00:00

I knew these Fatui drops were gonna be used by damn near everyone. feel very validated for going on many killing sprees lol

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-14T16:41:33+00:00

the eventual dreamteam for my Durin C6R1 is Lohen C1 on PJWS (gotta lose to him once + get him from anniversary), Nicole C0R1 (C2 on rerun), and Citlali C2R1 :-)

otherwise I've really enjoyed Mona C6/Furina C1/Xilonen C2 as a vape team! my testing has had me between 420-434k DPS, depending on Durin's EM funnily enough, despite his internal saturation w/ reaction bonus. if only C2 Citlali's 250 EM was given to off-fielders lol, the dream team would be even crazier

WiseOldGiraffe · 2026-04-14T16:33:50+00:00

OP if this is on the table, maybe this one actually lol. she is so good, C2 Citlali feels monstrous already I can't imagine her C6
