Players of the open world RPGGenshin Impacthave become quite vocal about which characters from the robust cast they are missing from their roster. While some players are missing 4-star characters that could likely fill the missing spots within their squads, others have been working desperately in order to gaina 5-star character. However, there is one 5-star character that seems to be sought after more than the others: the claymore-wielding Pyro user, Diluc.
There are quite a few reasons whyGenshin Impactplayers would be searching specifically for Diluc over another5-star character like Venti. For one, players could likely see having any 5-star character as a sort of status symbol or a way of bragging to other players. While that might come into play occasionally, there is another reason why players are seeking the Darkknight Hero out.

Diluc is widely considered to bethe best DPS currently inGenshin Impact. While the character may not provide players with a lot of utility in terms of setting up Elemental Reactions, his damage output is obscene, even without an optimal build.
While mostGenshin Impactplayers will recognize that Diluc’s strength is astounding while fighting solo, his power is heightened even further when players build their team around him. Adding another Pyro character like Xiangling in the party gives a buff of +25% ATK DMG through the Pyro Elemental Resonance, making Diluc an even more potent damage dealer. And by adding another Support character, likethe Electro archer Fischl, into the mix provides Diluc with plenty of opportunities to deal massive Elemental Damage through the Overloaded Reaction.
It’s also possible that players want Diluc simply because they like his personality.Genshin Impactplayers are provided multiple instances where they get totry Diluc outas a trial during some of the early questlines. These questlines also give players an insight into the character’s personality and motivations, which seem very reminiscent of a Bruce Wayne/Batman figure. These small tastes of who Diluc is could be enough for players to be willing to invest real world money into the game, rather than the in-game currency that can be earned.
While Diluc seems to be king ofGenshin Impactright now, this likely won’t always be the case. With multiple new characters comingby way of the various updatesand plans for character nerfs, it’s likely that Diluc’s fire may burn out sooner rather than later. However, until then, fans of the game will most likely continue to stoke the embers and keep the Diluc flame alive.
