Dehya Best Builds

Dehya Main DPS Build

Best Weapon	Beacon of the Reed Sea
Replacement Weapons	1. Wolf's Gravestone 2. Serpent Spine 3. Luxurious Sea-Lord
Best Artifacts	Vourukasha's Glow x4
Main Stats	Sands: ATK% or Elemental Mastery
	Goblet: Pyro Damage Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery, ATK%, HP%

As a Main DPS, Dehya's best Artifact is Vourukasha's Glow. This set will let her deal the most damage from her Elemental Skill and Burst.

Dehya Sub-DPS Build

Best Weapon	Beacon of the Reed Sea
Replacement Weapons	1. Wolf's Gravestone 3. Skyward Pride 4. Serpent Spine 5. Luxurious Sea-Lord 6. Favonius Greatsword
Best Artifacts	Vourukasha's Glow x4
Main Stats	Sands: ATK%, Energy Recharge, or HP%
	Goblet: Pyro Damage Bonus
	Circlet: CRIT Rate/DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery, ATK%, HP%

On paper, Vourukasha's Glow deals more damage compared to the Emblem of Severed Fate for Dehya. However, this comes at the cost of losing Energy Recharge, which the Emblem Set helps a lot with.

Vourukasha's Glow is your best choice if you don't need +180% Energy Recharge or if you are only relying on Dehya's Elemental Skill for her source of damage.

You should only consider HP% on the Sands artifact piece if you have her at C1. At C0, she will deal more damage with ATK% instead.

Dehya Support Build

Best Weapon	Portable Power Saw
Replacement Weapons	1. Wolf's Gravestone 2. Favonius Greatsword 3. The Bell
Best Artifacts	Tenacity of the Millelith x4
Main Stats	Sands: HP%
	Goblet: HP% or Pyro Damage Bonus
	Circlet: HP% CRIT Rate/DMG
Substats	Energy Recharge, HP%, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, Elemental Mastery, ATK%,

With its ability to increase her HP and provide off-field ATK buffs for the team, Dehya in a support build should use Tenacity of the Millelith to buff her teammates and mitigate the damage they get effectively.

You can opt to use Triple HP% main stats if you want to sacrifice her damage to tank more damage.

Dehya Talent Priority

	All Three Roles
1st	Elemental Skill
2nd	Elemental Burst
3rd	Normal Attack

Level up Dehya's Elemental Skill first to increase the performance of her utility and off-field damage. You can level up her Elemental Burst next to improve her overall damage.

You won't be using her Normal Attacks that often, so you can leave this talent alone or for last.

Dehya Best Artifacts

Dehya Artifact Rankings

	Artifact	Artifact Bonuses
1st	Tenacity of the Millelith	2-PC: HP +20% 4-PC: When an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, the ATK of all nearby party members is increased by 20% and their Shield Strength is increased by 30% for 3s. This effect can be triggered once every 0.5s. This effect can still be triggered even when the character who is using this artifact set is not on the field.
2nd	Vourukasha's Glow	2-PC: HP +20% 4-PC: Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG will be increased by 10%. After the equipping character takes DMG, the aforementioned DMG Bonus is increased by 80% for 5s. This effect increase can have 5 stacks. The duration of each stack is counted independently. These effects can be triggered even when the equipping character is not on the field.
2nd	Emblem of Severed Fate	2-PC: Energy Recharge +20%. 4-PC: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way.

Use Vourukasha's Glow for Damage

Dehya's best artifact set is Vourukasha's Glow if you want to maximize her Elementat Skill and Burst damage.

Use Tenacity of the Millelith for Support

The Tenacity of the Millelith is Dehya's best option if you want her to simply act as a Support for your team. The HP% it provides helps her tank damage more, while the 4pc. effect will let her give ATK% buffs for the party.

Dehya Best Teams

Dehya Main DPS Teams

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Sub-DPS/Support	Support
Dehya	Ganyu	Shenhe	Bennett
Dehya	Kazuha	Kokomi	Bennett
Dehya	Xiangling	Kazuha	Bennett

Dehya can be used as a Main DPS if she has proper support buffers. Her damage multipliers are a bit lackluster, so it's very important that she has the right teammates for the job.

For Elemental Reaction teams, Dehya can use EM% Main Stats instead of ATK% or HP% if she can consistently trigger Elemental Reactions.

Dehya Sub-DPS and Support Teams

Melt Party for Dehya

Sub DPS	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Dehya	Ganyu	Nahida	Bennett

This Dehya team comp focuses on providing consistent burning reactions when paired with Nahida. As the enemy burns, Ganyu is free to trigger Melt with her Charged Attacks while in the comfort of the strong stagger resistance provided by Dehya.

Vaporize Party for Dehya

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Dehya	Hu Tao	Xingqiu	Yelan

Dehya can work in a Vaporize team alongside Hu Tao if it's in a double Hydro team comp. Dehya's Elemental Skill triggers slow enough that it can't override a Hydro Aura on the enemy.

Dehya can direct some of the damage to herself while Hu Tao is on the field and both can characters benefit from the Double Hydro Resonance.

Burgeon Party for Dehya

Support	Main DPS	Sub-DPS	Support/Sub-DPS
Dehya	Ayato	Nahida	Kokomi
Dehya	Nahida	Xingqiu	Kokomi
Dehya	Alhaitham	Xingqiu	Yelan

This team comp centers around enabling the formation of Dendro Cores for Dehya to trigger Burgeon while off-field. To not cause Burning, two Hydro Characters (or an Anemo to swirl Hydro) are recommended to facilitate the reaction.

For Burgeon teams, it is highly recommended to Dehya to use triple EM main stats to maximize Dendro Core damage.

Free-to-Play Party for Dehya

Sub-DPS	Main DPS	Support	Support
Dehya	Xiangling	Sucrose	Bennett

This free-to-play team comp for Dehya focuses on dealing a lot of Pyro DMG as much as possible. Sucrose increases Pyro DMG by equipping the Viridescent Venerer artifact set while triggering Swirl.

Dehya Best Constellations

Recommended Constellations

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• Provides more value for her HP Substats, making its damage increase become equivalent to an ATK% Mainstat.
C4	★★★	• Greatly reduces her Energy requirment. • Provides more healing for herself, letting her become more of a Solo support character.

C0 is Good Enough

If you only want Dehya to deal damage, then C0 is more than enough. Have her run an ATK% Sand Main Stat for her unless you are C1, where HP% becomes more desirable.

Dehya's first Constellation lets her both tank and deal equivalent damage when compared to using an ATK% main stat. If you want her to go full tank, running three HP% main stats can still dish out decent damage.

Constellation and Effects

Mantichora
	Dehya's Constellations
C1	The Flame Incandescent Dehya's Max HP is increased by 20%, and she deals bonus DMG based on her Max HP when using the following attacks: - Molten Inferno's DMG will be increased by 3.6% of her Max HP. - Leonine Bite's DMG will be increased by 6% of her Max HP.
C2	The Sand-Blades Glittering When Dehya uses Molten Inferno: Ranging Flame, the duration of the recreated Fiery Sanctum field will be increased by 6s. Additionally, when a Fiery Sanctum exists on the field, DMG dealt by its next coordinated attack will be increased by 50% when active character(s) within the Fiery Sanctum field are attacked.
C3	A Rage Swift as Fire Increases the Leonine Bite by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	An Oath Abiding When Flame-Mane's Fist and Incineration Drive attacks unleashed during Leonine Bite hit opponents, they will restore 1.5 Energy for Dehya and 2.5% of her Max HP. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s.
C5	The Alpha Unleashed Increases the Level of Molten Inferno by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	The Burning Claws Cleaving The CRIT Rate of Leonine Bite is increased by 10%. Additionally, after a Flame-Mane's Fist attack hits an opponent and deals CRIT Hits during a single Blazing Lioness state, it will cause the CRIT DMG of Leonine Bite to increase by 15% for the rest of Blazing Lioness's duration and extend that duration by 0.5s. This effect can be triggered every 0.2s. The duration can be extended for a maximum of 2s and CRIT DMG can be increased by a maximum of 60% this way.

How to Use Dehya

Elemental Skill: Molten Inferno

Dehya's Elemental Skill summons a Fiery Sanctum field that deals AoE Pyro damage when summoned. When an opponent inside the field takes damage, it will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Pyro damage to them (based on her ATK and Max HP).

When active characters within the field take DMG, Dehya will take a portion of the damage dealt instead up to a certain limit! In addition, characters inside the circle also increases their resistance to interruption. This skill is a decent tool to survive heavy attacks.

Elemental Burst: Leonine Bite

During Dehya's Elemental Burst, she enters a Blazing Lioness state. In this state, Dehya will continuously unleash her Flame-Mane's Firsts and cast Roaring Barrage, dealing Pyro DMG.

Given how expensive her Burst cost is, you may find yourself either using Energy Recharge stats for your artifacts or weapon if you want to constantly use her burst off cooldown.

Dehya Talents (Skills)

Normal Attack: Sandstorm Assault

Talent Description
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes using her Claymore and her martial arts. Charge Attack Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes. At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash. Plunge Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Molten Inferno

Talent Description

This art of Dehya's own invention changes its method of use depending on the combat situation. Indomitable Flame This skill will be unleashed should there be no Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself present at the time. Deals AoE Pyro DMG, and creates a field known as Fiery Sanctum. Ranging Flame This skill will be unleashed should a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself already exist. Dehya will perform a leaping attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG before recreating a Fiery Sanctum field at her new position. A Fiery Sanctum field created this way will inherit the remaining duration of the previous field. Only 1 Fiery Sanctum created by Dehya herself can exist at the same time. Fiery Sanctum When an opponent within a Fiery Sanctum field takes DMG, the field will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG to them based on Dehya's ATK and Max HP. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5s. Active characters within this field have their resistance to interruption increased, and when such characters take DMG, a portion of that damage will be mitigated and flow into Redmane's Blood. Dehya will then take this DMG over 10s. When the mitigated DMG stored by Redmane's Blood reaches or goes over a certain percentage of Dehya's Max HP, she will stop mitigating DMG in this way. Only 1 Fiery Sanctum created by Dehya can exist at the same time.

Leonine Bite

Talent Description

Unleashing her burning anger and casting her inconvenient blade aside, Dehya enters the Blazing Lioness state and increases her resistance to interruption. Blazing Lioness In this state, Dehya will automatically and continuously unleash the Flame-Mane's Fists, dealing Pyro DMG based on her ATK and Max HP, and when its duration ends, she will unleash an Incineration Drive, dealing AoE Pyro DMG based on her ATK and Max HP. If a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya's own Elemental Skill "Molten Inferno" exists when this ability is unleashed, Dehya will retrieve it, and then create another field once Blazing Lioness's duration expires. This field will take on the retrieved field's duration at the moment of its retrieval. In this state, Dehya will be unable to cast her Elemental Skill, or perform Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks. "Normal Attack: Sandstorm Assault" and Elemental Skill "Molten Inferno" will be replaced by ''Roaring Barrage.'' Roaring Barrage Unleashing Roaring Barrage within 0.4s after each Flame-Mane's Fist strike will increase the speed at which the next Flame-Mane's Fist strike will be triggered.

Unstinting Succor

Talent Description

Within 6 seconds after Dehya retrieves the Fiery Sanctum field through Molten Inferno: Ranging Flame or Leonine Bite, she will take 60% less DMG when receiving DMG from Redmane's Blood. This effect can be triggered once every 2s. Additionally, within 9s after Dehya unleashes Molten Inferno: Indomitable Flame, she will grant all party members the Gold-Forged Form state. This state will further increase a character's resistance to interruption when they are within the Fiery Sanctum field. Gold-Forged Form can be activated once every 18s.

Stalwart and True

Talent Description
When her HP is less than 40%, Dehya will recover 20% of her Max HP and will restore 6% of her Max HP every 2s for the next 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s.

The Sunlit Way

Talent Description
Increases the Movement SPD of your own party members by 10% during the day (6:00 - 18:00). Does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or Spiral Abyss. Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Should You Pull for Dehya?

Is Dehya Worth It?

Don't Pull For Her If You Need a Good Support

As it stands, Dehya as a 5-star is sub-par as a support and DPS. Her damage can be somewhat improved with more constellations but you should reconsider spending your hard-earned primogems on her since she is coming to the standard pool anyways.

However, if you have Ganyu or Hu Tao, she can still be a somewhat good addition to those teams. In any other team, she may be considered as a downgrade when compared to other characters with similar roles.

How to Get Dehya

Dehya Voicelines

Thoughts About Dehya

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Alhaitham	It's a waste for such a capable person to remain among the Eremites. If only she'd consider my suggestion to join the Akademiya... Our work would become a lot easier with someone like her around, but a predictable life isn't exactly her cup of tea - I can understand that. sigh What a pity.
Candace	Whenever Dehya brings any of her Eremites to stay at Aaru Village, she always keeps them on their very best behavior. I have to say, it makes my life a lot easier. Ah, Dehya... She might look like trouble at first, but the truth is that she's really quite adorable.
Dori	I hire her to help escort my caravans from time to time. After all, she's got the muscle, and her price is reasonable. When it comes to cost-performance ratio, she's always the best pick.
Nilou	It's hard to believe that so many things have happened recently... I wanted to pick out a good present for Dehya and Dunyarzad, but I just can't make up my mind. Everyone at the Grand Bazaar has given me many suggestions, but if I took them all, it'd be too much... What should I do...

Dehya's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Alhaitham	About Alhaitham He offered me a position in the Akademiya once. I declined — working in a place like that would bore me to death. He, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of person I can imagine working there... always talking in long, convoluted sentences, and in that snooty tone... Tsk.
Candace	About Candace Ah, Candace... I love her to bits, but she can be as stubborn as a Sumpter Beast sometimes. I keep telling her she oughtta cut herself some slack, take some time off, maybe go take a walk around Sumeru City, buy herself some nice new clothes or jewelry... but she always says the same old thing: She can't bear to leave the village unprotected. I dunno how many times she's turned me down now. Ugh, if I really can't persuade her, I guess I'll just have to watch the village for her sometime, and get one of my Eremite girls to take her shopping...
Cyno	About Cyno The General Mahamatra? Doesn't suffer fools gladly, and certainly doesn't beat around the bush. Having seen the way he works, he gets a thumbs up from me.
Dori	About Dori Ah, the famous merchant. I've heard that her prices aren't cheap, but is it true that she can get a hold of anything you want? Hahaha, then I should start talking to her, 'cause uh... some of the supplies we mercs need are impossible to get anywhere else on the market, no matter what you're willing to pay.
Layla	About Layla Ahh, the sleepy girl, yeah, I think I remember her. I ran into her once at an oasis on the outskirts of the desert. She was out with some group from the Akademiya doing astronomical observations, or something. I wasn't really paying attention. ...Huh? Candace... what now? Emissary from the stars? The heck is that all about? Almost sounds like she didn't wake up before getting out of bed.
Nahida	About Lesser Lord Kusanali Hmph... You know, I always thought the Akademiya's worst were just a bunch of greedy dogs, each fighting for their slice of the pie... Nope. Turns out they were a vicious pack of wolves who betrayed the whole nation. If you want my opinion... Lesser Lord Kusanali was too good to them. Those animals didn't deserve her mercy — she should've broken every single bone in their bodies! Instead, they got a nice little vacation in the rainforest... To say they got off lightly is just putting it mildly.
Nilou	About Nilou Now that the whole saga with the Akademiya's over, I guess she can finally dance as much as she wants. She offered me some of her face powder last time I saw her, but in this line of work, it'd be wasted on me, so I told her to give it to Candace instead. Hmm... I wonder how she's liking it? I need to go check. sometime...
Tighnari	About Tighnari Hahaha, the one that got away... I came thiiis close to doing a job for that guy. A contact put us in touch — I was supposed to be his guide through the desert for some kind of investigation. But then it got canceled out of the blue, no idea why. Wait, actually... I think there was something about him not being good with the heat? I'm not sure, but it could have been that...
