by Dehya is a mercenary in the Genshin Impact lore who earns her bread defending her clients and that will be precisely her role in the game, mitigating part of the damage received by her team’s allies and receiving it instead to protect them.
The truth is that he is a character that is very halfway in everything: he can go in Crackling teams but he has a very little Pyro application, which is surpassed by Thoma; he possesses passive damage dealing abilities that he will act as a Support DPS with, but the damage from him is very low compared to what Xiangling produces in that same role.
Nor is its protection and damage mitigation enough in some cases, since it goes very well for our adventure in the open world, but in rooms like Abyss 12 in which we face enemies that can kill us with one or two hits, Dehya’s damage mitigation won’t be enough and we’ll need someone like Bennett to heal us (and this one is more useful on top of that, since it gives us Attack bonuses).
Therefore, there are many four stars that individually can be much better in each of their functions and that is why even though Dehya has several functions, it is difficult to find a place for her in our teams. But perhaps with time she can have a glow up as happened with Kuki Shinobu , who went from being a rather lazy character to being one of the best four stars in the game.
DEHYA STATS
Dehya’s stats are very similar to Nilou ‘s, except that Dehya slightly outperforms him in Base Attack, but in return has a slightly lower Defense than Nilou’s; Here we can see the statistics that our Dehya will have when promoting it to level 90:
- Base Life: 15,675.
- Base Attack: 265.
- Base Defense: 627.
- Life Bonus %: 28.8%.
As for Life, we can say that he is one of the characters that stands out the most in the entire game (even surpassing Hu Tao ), but his Base Attack and Base Defense leave a little to be desired.
Through his ascensions he will gain a Life Bonus % , this will increase his life even more and make him perform a better task when it comes to mitigating damage on the team.
TALENTS OR SKILLS
Let’s see their talents or abilities.
NORMAL ATTACK: GOLDEN SHOCK
The sequence of blows in Dehya’s Attacks is a little different from what other Claymore users have, since he alternates the blows of this weapon with his martial techniques.
- Normal Attack : Execute a combo of four attacks in which he will alternate the blows of the greatsword with his martial techniques.
- Charged Attack : You can keep it for as long as you want until your stamina runs out and at the end, Dehya will execute a more powerful blow to end the sequence.
- Descending Attack : We will hit the ground causing a blow that causes Physical Damage in an area.
ELEMENTAL SKILL: INFERNO SMELTER
- TdE: 20 s.
- Area Duration: 12 s.
- Wildfire Damage: 203.18% (level 10).
- Burning Rush Damage: 239.04% (level 10).
- Area Damage: 108.36% Attack + 1.86% Max Health (level 10).
- Damage Mitigation: 50% (level 10).
- Scarlet Lioness Blood Max Percentage: 200% Max Health.
When using this Elemental Skill, Dehya will deal Pyro Damage in an area and create a field called a ” fire fence ” that works similarly to Albedo ‘s elemental , in that when an enemy takes damage within this field, the elemental’s fire fence will spawn a coordinated attack that passively deals damage to enemies (this can happen once every 2.5 seconds).
In the case in which we have already created a fiery fence on the battlefield and we try to use the Elemental Skill to create another one, Dehya will perform a jump that has slightly higher damage than the initial elemental one has and will create a igneous fence in the corresponding location (yes, the previous one will be eliminated and also, the new fence will last the time that the old one will have).
Other advantages that this Elemental Skill offers us are a resistance to interruption while the characters remain within the igneous fence and a mitigation to the damage received, since for 10 seconds or until a certain amount of damage limited by Dehya’s Maximum Life is exceeded. , it will receive part of the damage inflicted on us while we remain in the field of its elemental.
ULTI: LIONESS’S FLAME JAW
- Energy Cost: 70.
- TdE: 18 sec.
- Duration: 4 sec.
- Leonine Punch Damage: 177.66% of Attack + 3.05% of maximum Health (level 10).
- Incinerating Kick Damage: 250.74% Attack + 4.3% Max Health (level 10).
Dehya will enter the “fiery lioness” mode, in this he will increase his resistance to interruption and replace the blows of his Claymore with automatic punches that are executed consecutively producing Pyro Damage; at the end of the duration of the ult she will generate a kick to end the combo.
If we have a fiery siege when we use this Ulti , it will be removed from the battlefield and another one will be created at the end of its duration, but the time of said siege will not be reset, it will simply inherit the remaining time from the original before be removed from the battlefield.
During this Ulti we will not be able to use either his Normal Attacks or his Elemental Ability, since these will be replaced by “roaring barrage”, if we use this 0.4 seconds after landing a punch with the Ulti, the speed of the next blow will increase and we can hit a greater number of times.
A defect of this Ulti is that its hits are not considered Normal Attacks , therefore it will not be compatible with the Ultimate Abilities of characters like Xingchiu , Beidou or Yelan .
PASSIVE 1: SELFLESS HELP
If there is a fiery fence on the battlefield and we remove it by using the Ulti or using the Elemental Skill to replace it, the damage taken by Dehya will be decreased by 60% for 6 seconds (this can happen once every 2 seconds). seconds).
In the case of activating this passive through the Elemental Skill instead of the Ulti , we will activate the “golden forge” state that will increase the resistance to interruption of all party members for 9 seconds even more (this effect can only be activated once every 18 seconds).
PASSIVE 2: UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTEOUSNESS
When Dehya’s health is below 40%, he will auto-heal for 20% ; in addition, for 10 seconds he will heal for 6% of his Max Health every 2 seconds (this effect can only be activated once every 20 seconds).
This Passive Ability is essential, since for as much damage as it can mitigate, we will need her to recover Health on her own if we want to take her as a defensive support instead of a healer or squire.
PASSIVE 3: SUNNY PATH
If Dehya is on the party, the Movement Speed of all team members will increase by 10% during daylight (this effect does not stack and does not apply to Crusade Domains or Spiral Abyss).
It’s the same passive talent Rosaria has , only this one gives us the bonus at night instead of during the day.
CONSTELLATIONS
These are the benefits that Dehya is obtaining through its Constellations:
- C1 – Filigneous Flawless : This Constellation confers the following effects:
- Dehya’s Health is increased by 20%.
- Dehya’s Elemental Skill damage is increased by 3.6% of his Max Health.
- The damage of his Ulti is increased by 6% of his Max Health.
- C2 – Blades of the Glittering Sands : When Dehya uses his Elemental Ability when there is already a fiery encirclement on the field, he increases the duration of the newly created encirclement by an additional 4 seconds. Additionally, when a character inside the fiery fence is attacked, the next coordinated attack generated by this fence will deal 50% additional damage.
- C3 – Scorching Fury : Increases Ultimate Ability by 3 levels, can be increased up to 15 levels.
- C4 – Unbreakable Vow : Upon hitting an enemy with the Ulti , Dehya will recover 1.5 Elemental Energy and restore Health equal to 2.5% of his maximum Health; this effect can only be activated once every 0.2 seconds.
- C5 – Disheveled Lioness : Increases Elemental Skill by 3 levels, can be increased up to 15 levels.
- C6 – Flame Slash : When Dehya critically hits his Ulti , the duration of his Ulti will be increased by 0.5 seconds and his Critical Damage increased by 10% (this can happen once every 0.2 seconds and the Ulti can only be extended 2 seconds this way and increase its Critical Damage by up to 60%)); additionally, the Ulti permanently gains 10% Critical Chance upon activating this Constellation.
Dehya’s first Constellation is quite important for buffing the character, as it will increase the damage of his abilities in proportion to his Max Health by a higher rate (which is quite useful, since Dehya can reach a very beast amount of Health and has quite low damage) and it will also increase our Life by 20% at the same time, which will also improve the damage by having more Life and will improve its role as a tank. The rest of the Constellations are not bad, but they are not so necessary.
BEST BUILD FOR DEHYA (SUPPORT DPS/TANKING)
Dehya’s main role in this build will be damage mitigation through the use of his Elemental Ability, for this we will focus on boosting his Health. On the other hand, although she does not have a very high damage, we will also try to boost the damage of her abilities so that she can passively do as much damage as possible with her Elemental Ability and using her ult at specific moments. .
BEST WEAPONS FOR DEHYA
These are some of the claymores that can be of use to Dehya.
- Emblem of the Sea of Reeds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: This weapon gives us a high Critical Chance rate, a good Base Attack and its passive will give us good bonuses to Attack and Life, allowing us to boost the damage produced by Dehya.
- Tombstone of the Wolf ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: On the one hand it will be a very good weapon to boost Dehya’s very poor Attack, but it will also be useful to increase its utility and make it able to provide a good Attack bonus to the team.
- King of Evil ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Provides a large amount of Attack and if we use it on a team in which the ults require a high cost of Elemental Energy , Dehya’s ulti will be greatly enhanced by the effect of this passive weapon.
- Sword of Time ⭐⭐⭐⭐: In the event that you want to further enhance its defensive role, you can put this sword on it to greatly increase its Life.
BEST ARTIFACTS
As for stats on artifacts:
- Helmet or Crown : Critical Chance or Critical Damage.
- Clock : Attack % or Life %; if you have his C1 the Life clock% is better, but Dehya has very low Base Attack and without his C1 he doesn’t increase much damage from her abilities based on her Max Health.
- Chalice : Pyro Damage Bonus.
Substats you are looking for:
- Priority: Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Attack %, Health % and Health.
- No Priority: Elemental Mastery.
And as for the Set of Artifacts, we primarily recommend this combination for Mika:
- Geoweapon Tenacity :
- 2 Pieces : +20% Life.
- 4 Pieces : Hitting with an Elemental Skill will increase the Attack of all sync pairs by 20% and also their Shield Protection by 30% for 3 seconds. This can only happen once every 0.5 seconds. It activates even if your character is not on the field.
The two-piece bonus will allow us to increase Dehya’s Life by 20%, which will make him perform his defensive role better and also increase the damage of his abilities (although this is only more relevant with his C1), the set of four pieces will allow us to increase the Attack of the companions by 20% each time their fiery encirclement attacks the enemies, which makes Dehya a good character to activate the effect of this set (the bad thing is that the increase in protection of Shield will not help us at all, since we do not want to take squires with Dehya).
Another alternative in case we want to increase the damage of her abilities instead of giving more support to the team is to equip her with two pieces of Flame Crimson Witch to increase her Pyro Damage Bonus by 15% and combine it with a set that increases their Attack by 18% with both pieces as Gladiator’s End or Reminiscence of Purification .
BUILD FOR DEHYA ON BURN AND CRACKLE (TRIGGER) TEAMS
In this case, the only thing we are going to focus on is increasing Dehya’s Elemental Mastery to the maximum to activate Crackling Elemental Reactions by using his Elemental Ability, in this way we will do a lot of damage when exploding Dendro’s nuclei.
The problem with this build is that the attack interval of his Elemental Skill is quite high (2.5 seconds) and that makes Thoma , being a four-star character, a much more profitable character for this type of team because it can apply a lot more Pyro in comparison and if works much better with characters like Yelan or Xingchiu.
RECOMMENDED WEAPONS FOR DEHYA
These are the best Greatswords for Dehya on Crackle teams.
- Fierro Floriorlado ⭐⭐⭐⭐: It is a Claymore that fits its role very well in this type of team, allowing it to have the highest amount of Elemental and Attack Mastery at the same time, best of all, it is free on top of that.
- Májaira Aquamarine ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Provides a good amount of Elemental Mastery and thanks to its passive it will increase our Attack based on it; The best thing about this sword is that it will also allow us to share the Attack bonus with the sync pairs.
- Rain Reaper ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Statistically speaking it is exactly the same as the previous command, but the passive ability is not as good and we will need another character to affect the enemies with Hydro in order to take advantage of the passive effect.
RECOMMENDED ARTIFACTS
As for stats on artifacts:
- Helmet or Crown : Elemental Mastery .
- Clock : Elemental Mastery.
- Chalice : Elemental Mastery.
Substats you are looking for:
- Priority: Elemental Mastery, Life %, Life and Attack %.
- No Priority: Critical Chance and Critical Damage.
And as for the Set of Artifacts, we primarily recommend this combination for Mika:
- Golden Dreams :
- 2 Pieces : Increases Elemental Mastery by 80 points.
- 4 Pieces : When performing an Elemental Reaction, the character that has this set equipped will obtain 50 Elemental Mastery points for each character that is on the team with an element other than their own and a +14% bonus to their Attack for each character they have his same element in the team; this effect lasts 8 seconds, can be activated every 8 seconds, and will remain even if the character is not on the field.
The two-piece set will increase Dehya’s Elemental Mastery by 80 points and the four-piece set will increase both his Elemental Mastery and Attack when performing any Elemental Reaction based on his team composition.
Golden Dreams will be your best set in case we use it as a trigger for Crackling Elemental Reactions, since Forgotten Flower of Paradise needs to activate this Elemental Reaction four times to get the maximum possible damage bonus and Dehya is quite slow as a trigger (His elemental only hits once every 2.5 seconds, which is fatal with the set) and with Golden Dreams we will get the bonus with a simple Elemental Reaction.
BEST TEAMMATES
These are some of the characters that Dehya can accompany:
- Cryo Characters : We can combine Dehya with Cryo characters to generate Elemental Melt Reactions.
- Ganyu : Ganyu’s ult covers a pretty decent area and has a pretty long duration, making it perfect for triggering these types of Elemental Reactions.
- Rosaria : Same role as Ganyu but with a Cryo application, a smaller duration and area size; however, it is still a viable option.
- Dendro Characters : They will be one of the most conventional options, we will use Dehya in this type of equipment to create Elemental Crackling and Burn Reactions constantly.
- Alhacen : Although he works much better on his Overbloom team (Alhacen/Nahida/Yelan/Kuki Shinobu) we can swap out Kuki for Dehya and bring him on a Crackle team.
- Nahida : She can apply a lot of Dendro and her Ulti will allow us to increase Dehya’s Elemental Mastery so that she does more damage when it comes to Crackling. The Dendro Traveler would be a rather less effective alternative, but an alternative nonetheless.
- Hydro Characters : We will need Hydro characters to create the dendro cores in Crackle teams.
- Tartaglia / Ayato : Both characters can perfectly act as Main DPS in Bloom teams; Since we can’t activate Xingchiu and Yelan with Dehya’s Ulti , we’ll have to find a Hydro Main DPS so we can create dendro cores and exploit them with Dehya’s abilities.
ASCENSION MATERIALS AND TALENT BOOKS
We will need the following materials to promote him:
- Agnidus Agate.
- Guidelight Tetrahedron ( Semi-Caseless Navigator Observation Matrix Algorithm ).
- Sandy Chrysalis .
- Cloths of the Hermits.
And as for Talent Books and so on:
- Praxis Books.
- Cloths of the Hermits.
- Puppet Tube ( Mechanical God ).
- Crown of Wisdom (Talent level 10).
