Hey everyone!

Some exciting leaks have surfaced about Durin — here’s the low-down on what’s rumoured so far. (Take everything with a pinch of salt until official confirmation!)

🔥 Overview

According to leaks by sources like Team Mew and Dimbreath, Durin appears to be a Pyro-type off-field DPS (or support/DPS hybrid) character. 

His kit seems to revolve around two different states for his Elemental Skill and Burst: Albedo Affirmation and Nigredo Negation. 

🧪 Elemental Skill

He reportedly has two versions of his Skill depending on the sequence:

Skill 1: If he uses his Elemental Skill twice, he deals AoE Pyro damage, and enters Albedo Affirmation state. 

Skill 2: If his Normal Attack is used after activating his Skill, he enters Nigredo Negation state and deals three consecutive AoE Pyro hits in front. 

Also, regardless of the state, there's a claim he restores elemental energy every 6 seconds. 

💥 Elemental Burst

His Burst is his main damage source. It scales depending on which state he is in when he activates it:

In Albedo Affirmation, he summons a Whiteflame Dragon that periodically follows the active character, dealing AoE Pyro damage. 

In Nigredo Negation, he summons a Black Corrosion Dragon that follows the active character and deals Pyro damage to one enemy. 

If neither state is active at Burst time, he will enter Albedo Affirmation by default. 

🎯 Passive Talents

Some interesting effects:

If in Whiteflame state, when party members trigger Overloaded/Burning/Pyro Swirl/Crystallize, the enemy’s Pyro RES and corresponding elemental RES drop by 20% for 6 seconds. 

If in Black Corrosion state, his Vapourize/Melt reaction damage increases by 40%. 

His Burst damage is increased by 50% while in either state, up to a bonus of +1000 DMG. 

He gains 25% more rewards when sent on a 20-hour Mondstadt expedition. 

⭐ Constellations

Here are some leaked Constellation effects:

C1: Burst damage +25%. If in State 1, party members get stacks of “Cycle Enlightenment” boosting their Normal/Charged/Plunging/Skill/Burst damage. If in State 2, Durin himself gains those stacks and deals extra Burst damage. 

C2: After using Burst, when party triggers certain reactions (Overloaded, Vapourize, Melt, Burning, Pyro Swirl, Crystallize), all party members get +50% Pyro DMG and +50% corresponding elemental DMG for 6s. 

C3: Increases Burst level by 3. 

C4: 55% chance not to consume Cycle Enlightenment stacks created by C1. 

C5: Increases Skill level by 3. 

C6: Burst ignores 30% of enemy DEF. If in State 1, Burst or Whiteflame Dragon hitting enemy reduces their DEF by 30% for 6s. If in State 2, Burst/Black Dragon ignores an additional 40% enemy DEF. 

🤔 My Thoughts

This dual-state mechanic is really interesting — having to choose or switch between states means there’s a lot of strategic depth.

If true, his off-field DPS/support role makes him a potential complement to strong on-field units (e.g., big Pyro DPS) or reaction-based teams.

The C2 reaction buff is huge for team synergy — could make him a great facilitator in reaction teams (Vapourize/Melt etc).

The “ignore DEF” effect at C6 may set him up as a major damage dealer if built properly.

Of course: these are leaks. Nothing is officially confirmed, so things could change.
