Elemental Skill

Durin appears to have two different versions of his Elemental Skill, which depend on whether your press his Normal Attacks or Skill, after activating his Elemental Skill once. Furthermore, his Elemental Burst and Passive Talents will also have different effects, depending on his Elemental Skill state.

Here's the details of the two different states of his Elemental Skill:

• Skill 1 - If his Elemental Skill is activated twice, he will deal AoE Pyro damage to nearby opponents, and enters the Albedo Affirmation state.
• Skill 2 - However, if his Normal Attack is used after activating his Skill, he will enter the Nigredo Negation state, and deal three consecutive AoE Pyro damage to enemies in front of him.

Regardless of Durin's Elemental Skill state, it seems that he restores Elemental Energy every six seconds.

Elemental Burst

Durin's Elemental Burst seems to be his primary source of damage. Furthermore, the damage from his Burst can also be activated when he is not on the field. His Elemental Burst has two different effects, which depend whether he's in the Albedo Affirmation or Nigredo Negation state while he's activating his Burst. If Durin is not in either of these states while using the Burst, he will enter the Albedo Affirmation state.

Based on the rumored kit leaks, here's the two states of Durin's Elemental Burst:

• Albedo Affirmation (State 1) - Deals Pyro damage and manifests his power as the Whiteflame Dragon which periodically follows the active character and deals AoE Pyro damage.
• Nigredo Negation (State 2) - Deals Pyro damage and manifests his power as the Black Corrosion Dragon which follows periodically follows the active character and deals Pyro damage to one enemy.

• C1 - Increases Elemental Burst damage by 25%, and has different effects depending on his Burst state. If he's in the first state, team members get special stacks of Cycle Enlightenment, which increases their Normal/Charged/Plunging/Skill/Burst damage. If he's in the second state, Durin gains these special stacks instead, and he deals additional damage from his Burst. These stacks are refreshed after he activates his Elemental Burst.
• C2 - After using his Elemental Burst, when party members trigger Overloaded, Vaporize, Melt, Burning, Pyro Swirl or Crystallize, all party members get 50% Pyro DMG and 50% corresponding Elemental DMG for six seconds.

• C4 - There is a 55% chance not to consume the Cycle Enlightenment stacks generated by his C1.
• C5 - Increases the level of his Elemental Skill by three levels
• C6 - His Elemental Burst ignores 30% of enemy DEF. If he's in State 1, and when his Burst or Whiteflame Dragon hits enemies, that enemy's DEF is reduced by 30% for six seconds. If he's in State 2, and when Black Corrosion Dragon or his Burst hits enemies, it will ignore an additional 40% of enemy DEF.
