Dahlia is our first ever Hydro shielder but he leaves much to be desired. His ATK SPD buff is slightly less than Mika at C0 unless you have Dahlia's C6. His Elemental Burst shield can refresh but you will want to run him with niche Freeze teams to gain the full effect. Moreover, his Elemental Skill and Hydro application are next to useless as he has no actual off-field application. His saving grace is that he's best with Skirk as an F2P option, but Skirk does not need him at all on her best team. |

Dahlia Ascension and Talent Materials
| Strengths | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
• Offers a refreshable Hydro Shield that gets better when placed in Freeze teams. • Simple to build as he only requires two stats in the form of HP and Energy Recharge. • Constellations give more Quality-of-Life benefits such as increased Shield Strength, increasing Shield duration, ATK SPD, and potential revivals. |
|||
| Weaknesses | |||
|
• Does not offer much else besides his shield. • No off-field Hydro application. • A hydro shield means it can be countered by specific elemental opponents, making Dahlia's protection more niche. |
Dahlia's primary role is a Hydro Shielder, and this shield scales on his Max HP. Because this shield is on his Elemental Burst, Dahlia will only need to build Energy Recharge and HP% to maximize the effectiveness of his role.
| Best Weapon | |
|---|---|
| Replacement Weapons | |
| Best Artifacts | |
| Artifact Main Stats | |
| Artifact Sub Stats | Energy Recharge, HP% |
| Sample Teams | |
With his main Hydro Shielder build, look to try and reach his HP breakpoint first (40,000 HP) before focusing the rest on Energy Recharge.
You can equip Noblesse Oblige to give your party ATK buffs, or if you're lacking in HP substats, equip HP-specific 2-piece artifacts.
| Stat | Goal Value |
|---|---|
| HP | 40,000 or above |
| Energy Recharge | 200% or above |
His ATK SPD buff talent's breakpoint is maximised at 40,000 HP. As his Elemental Burst shield also scales with HP, you will typically want to reach his HP and ER breakpoints first, then you can allocate any other stats to CRIT or more HP.
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|
| Elemental Burst | Elemental Skill | Normal Attack |
Dahlia's entire power budget lies on his Elemental Burst, so level this talent all the way up. Only level your Elemental Skill or Normal Attack talents if you wish to increase his personal DMG.
To give your party more party buffs, equip Dahlia with the Noblesse Oblige set especially on Skirk teams, who also scale on ATK.
Alternatively, Dahlia's main requirements are only HP and Energy Recharge, so running either Emblem of Severed Fate and Tenacity of the Millelith, or a combination of HP% 2-piece set like Vourukasha's Glow works well for him.
| Artifact | Artifact Bonuses | |

List of Artifacts and Set Bonuses
Dahlia's main preference when it comes to weapons is any weapon that grants him more Energy Recharge for Burst uptime, or HP for comfortable shielding.
Skyward Blade and Favonius Sword work as good options if you want to hit his Energy Recharge breakpoints first. As a stat stick, the Key of Khaj-Nisut and Dockhand's Assistant grants Dahlia a great amount of HP, making it his premium choices.

Although Dahlia's shields can work for pretty much any team, his main team of choice is Freeze teams due to his talent that specifically prefers Cryo and Hydro characters, which provides him more Benison stacks that refreshes his Elemental Burst shield.
Alternatively, he can also be slotted within teams focused on Normal Attacks so they can utilize his ATK SPD buffs.

Freeze teams are typically his best teams to activate the conditions of his passive. Teams focusing on Skirk specifically will like him as your third buffer as she prefers Freeze as well.

As an alternative option to Mika or Yun Jin, Dahlia can also be used as another F2P option for teams like Yoimiya or Ayato in Vaporize.

| Dahlia's Constellations | |
|---|---|
| C1 |
Infallible Procession Each time Dahlia gains 1 of his Elemental Burst Radiant Psalter's Benison stacks, he will regain 2.5 Elemental Energy. |
| C2 |
Revelation of Mercy After Dahlia consumes his Elemental Burst Radiant Psalter's Benison stacks to summon a Shield of Sacred Favor, the character protected by said Shield will gain 25% increased Shield Strength for 12s. |
| C3 |
Windblume Offertory Increases the Level of Radiant Psalter by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C4 |
Collect of the Assembly The Favonian Favor from Dahlia's Elemental Burst Radiant Psalter last 3 more seconds. |
| C5 |
Let It Be Subtly So Increases the Level of Immersive Ordinance by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15. |
| C6 |
You Shall Go Out With Joy The current active character affected by the Elemental Burst Radiant Psalter's Favonian Favor has their ATK SPD increased by 10%. Additionally, when an active character affected by Favonian Favor falls, immediately: · Revive them. · Restore their HP of 100%. This effect can trigger once every 15 minutes. |
| Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | ★★☆ | • Regains 2.5 Elemental Energy every time Dahlia gains Elemental Burst stacks. |
| C2 | ★★★ | • Consumes Elemental Burst stacks to summon a stronger Shield that offers 25% increased Shield Strength. |
| C4 | ★★☆ | • Dahlia's Shield lasts 3 seconds longer, giving him 100% shield uptime. |
| C6 | ★★★ |
• Increases active character's ATK SPD by 10% during Dahlia's Elemental Burst. • Revives the active character if they fall to 0% HP during Dahlia's Elemental Burst. This raises them back to 100% HP and can only be done every 15 minutes. |
Dahlia's Shield Strength is maxed out when grabbing his C2, which is his most worthwhile Constellation as that increases comfort and the reliability of Dahlia's shields.
However, getting his C6 is still worthwhile if you are willing to do so as C6 grants the team bonus ATK SPD and particularly a free revive.
Dahlia's main role is an HP-scaling shield support focusing on his Elemental Burst. After using this Burst to deal AoE Hydro DMG, he provides his allies the Favonian Favor effect, which provides a shield to all characters and ATK SPD buffs.
Due to it being an Elemental Burst, Dahlia will prioritize Energy Recharge.
| Radiant Psalter |
|---|
| Appeals to the divine with earnestness and song, dealing AoE Hydro DMG to nearby opponents and granting his party members Favonian Favor, summoning a Shield of Sacred Favor. The Shield of Sacred Favor's DMG absorption is based on Dahlia's Max HP, and it will absorb Hydro DMG with 250% effectiveness. Favonian Favor: While this effect is active, 1 Benison stack may be consumed to summon a new Shield of Sacred Favor when an existing Shield is broken via DMG. Dahlia can obtain Benison via the following methods: · He will gain 1 Benison stack when his own active party member hits opponents 4 times with Normal Attacks while affected by Favonian Favor. · After triggering the effect of his Passive Talent, "The Wind's Gentle Grace" (You must first unlock this Passive Talent.) Dahlia can gain a maximum of 4 Benison stacks per Favonian Favor duration. |
Benison stacks, which recreates the shield when it breaks, can be refreshed through two means:
This means that Freeze teams that has an on-field DPS who prioritizes Normal Attacks are the teams he can synergize best.
The active character affected by Dahlia's Elemental Burst will also provide an increase to ATK SPD based on Dahlia's HP.
| Immersive Ordinance |
|---|
| Time for a fun little trick! Summons the Sacramental Shower in different ways depending on whether you Tap or Hold it.
Sacramental Shower: When opponents or nearby party members touch the Sacramental Shower, different effects will occur depending on the one who touches it: If an opponent touches the Shower, it will explode and deal AoE Hydro DMG to nearby opponents. If a nearby party member touches it, it will bounce the one who touches it high in the air. Only 1 Sacramental Shower summoned by Dahlia himself can be on the field at once. Tap: After a short prayer, summons the Sacramental Shower in front. Hold: Engages in continuous prayer, and when done, summons forth a Sacramental Shower in the designated position. |
Dahlia's Elemental Skill places a Sacramental Shower to the field which either explodes when enemies come into contact to it, or causes allies to bounce up in the air.
In combat, this will only be used to apply one instance of Hydro and regenerate Energy, but it can technically provide a small means for your character to do a Plunging Attack.
| The Wind's Gentle Grace |
|---|
| When characters affected by the Favonian Favor effect of the Elemental Burst Radiant Psalter trigger Frozen reactions on opponents, they will grant Dahlia 2 Benison stacks. This effect can trigger once every 8s. |
| Prayer of Well-Wrought Joy |
|---|
| When your active party member is affected by the Favonian Favor effect of the Elemental Burst "Radiant Psalter," their ATK SPD will increase based on Dahlia's Max HP: Every 1,000 Max HP will cause an increase of 0.5%, up to a maximum of 20%. |
| Pilgrimage Upon Returning Winds |
|---|
| During the day (06:00 – 18:00), your party members gain the Swift Stride effect: Movement SPD increased by 10%. Does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss. Swift Stride does not stack. |

Dahlia is a Deacon of Mondstadt's Church of Favonius, meaning he works with both Rosaria and Barbara as colleagues.
He is also shown to be personally friendly with Venti, and is aware of Venti's true identity as Barbatos. They often go drinking together as friends!
According to Dahlia's introduction post, he's often drawn to disturbances and troubles as part of his job as Deacon of the church. People believe he is favored by Barbatos and go to him for advice.

Dahlia was first shown in-game during the Paralogism archon quest, where he was seen presiding over a secret court trial for Albedo. He also revealed his connection to Venti and cooperated with the Knights of Favonius' operation in the end.

Dahlia's English Voice Actor is Aileen Mythen in EN and Yamamoto Kazutomi as shown from HoYoVerse's official social media.

Barbara
|
About Barbara Barbara is a fellow member of the clergy and also a friend. She's always there to support me when I need help. In return, I always make sure to look out for ways she can help me. I try to involve her as often as I can. ...Hmm? Weird way to show appreciation? I don't think so - Barbara's at her happiest when she's helping other people. And if she's happy, shouldn't we be happy for her? |

Jean
|
About Jean Master Jean is probably the person I'm most familiar with in the Knights of Favonius. I guess that's because whenever there's trouble, she's always there to clean things up. We have very different approaches to problem-solving though. I never shy away from offering my suggestions, but she tends to stick to her own way of doing things. |
Kaeya
|
About Kaeya Kaeya is my top drinking buddy. Sometimes, I need to negotiate a one-month all-you-can-drink deal at the tavern for Venti, and I couldn't do it without Kaeya's haggling skills. Trouble is, he knows it, and he's always using it to get free drinks out of me. But alas, that is the price I must pay for being the herald of Barbatos, the one trusted to guide the flock... And on that note - here's to the Anemo Archon. Cheers! |
Klee
|
About Klee Ah, Klee... She ran into me once when I was in the middle of practicing my "surprise baptism" technique on a Hydro Slime. Boy, did she love that! She thought it would be a great way to send Jumpy Dumpty flying even higher. We ended up hanging out for days after that and had loads of fun seeing how high we could bounce slimes and Jumpy Dumpty... until we blew up part of the city wall. We got spotted by the guard, Lawrence, and he reported us to Master Jean. Now she's banned me from using surprise baptism on Jumpy Dumpty. Sad times... |
Rosaria
|
About Rosaria Rosaria and I are very close friends, so I'm used to her habitual absences from church. But she was extremely closed-off back when we first met. Wouldn't open up to me about her secrets. Eventually, though, I found a way to catch her in the act every time she went missing, and that persuaded her to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with me. |
Venti
|
About Venti Venti is a dear friend. Whenever I'm seeking to know the will of the Anemo Archon, he's always more than happy to clear things up for me. And when he needs something done but can't attend to it personally, I'll handle it on his behalf. So yeah, overall I'd say we have a very positive working relationship. |
