Durin's Best Teams & Character Synergies

Welcome to our Durin team composition guide and character synergies overview for Genshin Impact. In this guide, we'll explore the best teams to build for Durin, including recommended characters, character synergies, and Team Compositions to help Durin reach his/her full damage potential.

Best Pairings and Synergies With Durin

Durin is an incredibly flexible character, providing off-field elemental application with good damage as well as supporting the team with a 20% RES Shred (35% with Hexerei) to Pyro and the other element involved in the reaction. That being said, the Hexerei buffs that Durin has available are not required for teams with Durin to function either and he can be strong without them.

Nicole
Nicole

Nicole is the best character to pair alongside Durin. Together, they form one of the strongest support cores in the game. Nicole provides powerful buffs to both the on-field DPS and off-field damage dealers, which significantly increases Durin’s contribution to total team damage.

This duo can be used with a wide range of DPS characters such as Arlecchino in Overload teams, Wriothesley in Melt teams, and Varka in Pyro Swirl teams. Overall, they work extremely well with any ATK-scaling DPS that benefits from consistent Pyro application.

Mona Albedo Fischl
Hexerei Characters

Durin is great with other Hexerei characters where both Hexerei characters in the team are able to benefit from their additional buffs. The amount of buffs varies with each character but for Durin specifically this provides increases to his personal DMG as well as increasing the RES Shred Durin provides for the team.

Some of the most notable characters include:

Venti Varka Lohen Klee
Main Hexerei DPS Options

Venti, Varka, Lohen, and Klee are the primary Hexerei DPS characters that benefit the most from Durin.

These characters gain significant value when paired with the Durin + Nicole core, which forms one of the strongest support duos in the game. This combination greatly enhances both on-field and off-field damage, making it their best team setup in most scenarios.

Chevreuse
Chevreuse

Chevreuse is a powerful support character for Overload team compositions who provides buffs for both Electro and Pyro units. Often paired with Fischl who can provide great Electro application as well as activating Hexerei buffs and then a Main DPS that is either Pyro or Electro.

Geo
Geo

Durin can be a great support for a few different Geo DPS-based teams, mainly thanks to the Hexerei buffs from Albedo where both can form a solid pairing to buff Geo characters such as Navia.
