Best Party Members to match Diluc with in Genshin Impact

Premium (Gacha) Team

In Genshin Impact, Diluc dishes out some serious damage, considering he is both Pyro and a claymore user. He will be your DPS, constantly adding Pyro to the field and using his Burst to provide additional damage to groups of enemies. With Xingqiu on board, you can also apply Vaporize, which in turn amplifies Diluc’s Pyro damage. Bennett is great as a Support with this team, to pump up damage and work as a great healer plus he offers Pyro resonance as a cherry on top. Sucrose can be used to pull enemies in range and spread reactions around to maximize your damage.

F2P Team

Diluc is great for offering high DPS, but combos with other characters will really push your output numbers. Use Xiangling to give Pyro resonance plus she can swap in when Diluc is waiting for his next Elemental Skill or Burst to cooldown. Kaeya is a great choice to amplify damage output with Melt. Finally, Barbara is a great choice for healing and can even provide heals while Diluc is out doing his best.
