Best	Beacon Of The Reed Sea	CRIT Rate 33.1% - Greatly increases CRIT Rate for higher damage. - The effect of the weapon suits the constellation of Diluc. - Greatly increases ATK and HP of Diluc.
2nd	Wolf's Gravestone	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Diluc's Signature Weapon - High ATK Base attack, with additional ATK increase with ATK sub-stat and passive skill
3rd	Serpent Spine	CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Easy to build Crit Rate/DMG with Crit Rate sub-stat - Sub-stat supports Diluc as an on-field DPS though the effect will disappear if he gets damaged
4th	The Unforged	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Weapon Skill greatly benefits Diluc since he can get in multiple hits with Normal Attack and Elemental Skill combo
5th (F2P-Limited)	Mailed Flower	Elemental Mastery 110 (Lvl. 90) - Amazing weapon for Vaporize teams especially at R5. - You need to build CRIT on Artifacts more.
6th	Rainslasher	Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - Amazing weapon for Vaporize teams because of high Elemental Mastery. - You need to build CRIT on Artifacts more.
7th (F2P)	Prototype Archaic	ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Free to Play option - Decent for boosting Attack.

CR/CD/ATK Sub-Stat Weapon Is Ideal

For a Main DPS Build, it's essential to have weapons that will have either Crit Rate, Crit DMG, or ATK% as their main stat. Wolf's Gravestone is the best, but another good option is the Battle Pass exclusive weapon, Serpent's Spine.

Elemental Mastery Weapons Are Also Good For Reaction Comps

You can also opt to use Elemental Mastery weapons like Mailed Flower or Rainslasher when you are using comp that damage boosting reactions like Vaporize or Melt.

Prioritize CRIT Rate/DMG

Just like any other DPS build, having a good Crit Rate and Crit DMG ratio will be essential for this build. Make sure to have at least a 1:2 CR/CD ratio in order to get the best damage balance.

Choose EM / ATK Sands Based On Sub-Stat

Since Elemental Reactions are often used in Team comps with Diluc. Because of this, having a good amount of Elemental Mastery is also recommended. You can use EM Stands instead of ATK because there are many sources of ATK. Choose which main stat you are going to use based on the sub-stat.

Uses Of Diluc's Elemental Skill

Constant Application Of Pyro

Every hit of Diluc's skill will apply Pyro so it's a great way to proc quite a bit of Elemental Reactions. It's consistent and hits fairly easily.

Can Be Combined With Normal Attacks

Diluc's Elemental Skill can actively be paused to weave in normal attacks for more damage. Just make sure alternate between them in order for the Elemental Skill to continue and not expire.

Uses Of Diluc's Elemental Burst

High Pyro Burst Damage To Multiple Enemies

Diluc's Burst should be used after using his Elemental Skill to deal even higher Pyro damage with its use. It will hit multiple enemies at a time, each with Pyro damage.

Knocks Back Enemies

Enemies hit by Diluc's Elemental Burst will be knocked back once they're caught in it. You can use this to your advantage, whether to give yourself a breather or continue with your assault.

Applies Pyro Infusion To Normal Attacks

After using Diluc's Elemental Burst, Diluc's weapon will get Pyro Infusion. Either use this in combo with another character for continuous Elemental Reactions or just his own for raw Pyro damage.

Should You Pull for Diluc's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Constellations Are Nice But Not Necessary

Constellation Priority
C6 > C3

C6 Makes Attack Combos Easier

To improve his performance, Diluc's constellations as a Standard Banner character are typically not a priority in terms of pulling, especially if you have limited funds. However, if you're willing to invest that much into Diluc directly instead of upgrading his weapons or his off-field supports, then the only way to guarantee his constellations would be through the Chronicled Wish banner. In this case, C6 is going to be his strongest constellations because it allows you to perform his Normal Attack combo a lot easier whilst also providing a decent Attack Speed buff.

Aiming for C6 on any character is going to be an unrealistic goal for most players unless you have the funds to do so. With this in mind, it's recommended to either invest your funds elsewhere, or consider pulling for Diluc's C6 only if you already have him at C4 or C5 beforehand. Otherwise, C3 can be a viable stopping point due to the additional Skill levels, which is the bulk of Diluc's damage.

In general, his constellations are nice to have but not something you would need to actively pull for, especially since he's on the Standard Banner. Although he is outclassed by others with the same role, Diluc can still be a usable on-field Pyro DPS character at C0, especially if you have all the pieces for his best team.

Recommended Pull Priority
A Thousand Blazing Suns > C6 > C3

Consider Other 5-Star Claymores

If you do not have Wolf's Gravestone and would like to pull for an upgrade outside of Diluc's best support characters, then you can consider getting getting any of his recommended limited 5-star claymores. A Thousand Blazing Suns, Beacon of the Reed Sea and Redhorn Stonethresher all perform similarly in terms damage, but this may also depend on other factors, such as Artifiacts stats.

Wolf's Gravestone is still decent on Diluc, but if you want to further his damage, pulling for the other 5-star claymores can be a solid choice, especially if your other claymore characters can also make use of it.
