Developer HoYoverse is back with a new trailer dedicated to Durin, the latest event 5-star (Pyro Sword) to join the roster of Genshin Impact. His debut banner kicks off tomorrow with the release of Version Luna III Phase I.
“The author of the fairy tale pours their imagination into writing its beginning, middle, and end. Now it’s up to the story’s protagonist to bring about the long-awaited ending.”
Durin, a 5-star Pyro Sword wielder who possesses two distinctly different combat forms, and can be served either as a team support or a strong damage dealer. Once a dragon from the fairytale world of Simulanka, Durin was later granted a human body through Albedo’s alchemy and the transfer of the dragon Durin’s heart energy. This unique origin grants Durin dual powers: One reflects the pure soul of Simulanka, supporting the team by reducing enemies’ Elemental Resistance and dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
The other is imbued with Abyssal energy, excelling at unleashing devastating attacks on single targets and boosting his own Vaporize and Melt reaction DMG. Completing Durin’s Story Quest will reveal more secrets about the dragon and Hexenzirkel, and gain a special outfit reward for Durin.
Note that his Story Quest (Draco Rubedo Chapter) has a limited-time quest reward, completing it within the specified duration gives additional Primogems, Character Ascension materials, and more.
