Durin’s introduction to Genshin Impact brought one of the most intriguing lore twists in recent memory. Originally crafted as a storybook entity within Simulanka, Durin gains a physical form in Teyvat thanks to Albedo’s alchemical intervention. As a Pyro support-sub DPS hybrid, he benefits enormously from proper leveling, ascension, and talent investment.
If you’re planning to build Durin to his full potential, you’ll need a significant stockpile of materials sourced from multiple regions, bosses, and domains. This complete guide breaks down everything required for Durin’s ascension and talent upgrades, along with where to find each resource efficiently and how to plan your farming route.

This boss is durable and mechanically complex, so ensure your team includes shielders or high mobility to avoid heavy hits.

Dropped by Fatui Oprichniki, with drop tiers scaling by enemy level:
-
Any Level: Tattered Warrant
-
Level 40+: Immaculate Warrant
-
Level 60+: Frost-Etched Warrant

Bring characters with crowd control or AoE damage since the domain often features Abyss enemies with shields.

This weekly boss demands strong elemental reactions. Bringing teams with off-field damage and shielding makes the fight far smoother.
