The best team to line up with Diluc
If you want to maximize Diluc’s elemental damage by pairing him with Hydro and Cryo allies, Xingqiu and Chongyun will be perfect for this.
If you’re looking to improve Diluc’s raw damage, then Sucrose will be the character for the job.
Diluc pairs wonderfully with Bennett as well, which will provide him with buffs, healing while allowing him to enjoy elemental resonance as well.
