4. Durin
- Rarity: 5-star
- Element: Pyro

This is the first time fans have gotten a peek at him since.
Durin wears a black outfit with silver and crimson accents. Moreover, he has purple hair and retains his signature horns from his Mini Durin form. The teaser also shows Durin’s back for a brief window of time, where players can see a Pyro vision.
