Dehya’s abilities in Genshin Impact

Dehya’s Normal Attack

• Normal Attack: Dehya performs up to four consecutive attacks using her Claymore and her material arts.
• Charged Attack: Dehya continuously drains stamina to move forward while slashing, unleashing a powerful blow at the end of the Charged Attack.
• Plunging Attack: Dehya plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, dealing normal AoE damage to all nearby enemies upon impact.

Dehya Elemental Skill

Dehya’s elemental skill is “Molten Inferno”, Dehya creates a “Fiery Sanctum” field while at the same time unleashing a Pyro AoE attack at the casting location.

• This ability stays active even if you switch out the active character.
• Feiry Sanctum will unleash a wave of Pyro damage within its range when an enemy takes DMG within the field.
• Active characters standing in this field have increased knockback resistance, and a portion of the damage they take will be redirected to Dehya over a period of time.
• Only one Fiery Sanctum can exist, it can be moved to a different location if Dehya recasts this ability before the field expires.

Dehya Elemental Burst

Dehya enters the “Blazing Lioness” state, casting aside her weapon and using her martial arts to deliver considerable Pyro DMG. When the duration of this burst ends Dehya kicks the earth underneath her causing an AoE Pyro explosion.

Dehya Constellations

• Level 1: Dehya’s Max HP is increased by 20%, and she deals bonus DMG based on her Max HP when using the Molten Inferno and Blazing Lioness abilities.
• Level 2: When Dehya relocates the Fiery Sanctum field its duration will be increased by 4s. The next instance of DMG dealt by the field will be increased when the active character in it takes DMG.
• Level 3: Increases the maximum level of Dehya’s Elemental Burst.
• Level 4: Attacks made during Dehya’s Elemental Burst restore Energy and Max HP for Dehya. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s.
• Level 5: Increases the maximum level of her Elemental Skill.
• Level 6: The CRIT Rate of her Elemental Burst is increased by 10%. Additionally, CRIT Hits made during the Burst will increase CRIT DMG by 15% for the rest of the Burst and extend its duration.

Best Artifacts for Dehya in Genshin Impact

The best Dehya Artifact set should increase her damage potential.

The best Dehya build uses the four-piece Vourukasha’s Glow set. This will help her deal the most damage from her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.

Another great alternative is the 4-piece Tenacity of the Millelith if you want to use Dehya as a Support character.

Set	Bonus
Vourukasha’s Glow	2-piece: HP +20% 4-piece: 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.
Tenacity of the Millelith	2-piece: HP +20% 4-piece: 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.

Best Dehya weapon in Genshin Impact

The best weapon to use for Dehya’s build in Genshin Impact is the 5-star Claymore Beacon of the Reed Sea.

After an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, your ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. After you take DMG, your ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is not on the field. Additionally, when not protected by a shield, your character’s Max HP will be increased by 32%.

Alternatively, Wolf’s Gravestone can be used in its place. With plenty of attack in its base stats and an ability that only doubles down on it, this deadly Claymore can give her a huge amount of damage.

If you don’t have any 5-star options, you can also use the 4-star Claymore Serpent Spine.

Weapon	Details
Beacon of the Reed Sea	After an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, your ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. After you take DMG, your ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. The 2 aforementioned effects can be triggered even when the character is not on the field. Additionally, when not protected by a shield, your character’s Max HP will be increased by 32%.
Wolf’s Gravestone	Increases ATK by 20/25/30/35/40%. On a hit, attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ Base ATK by 40/50/60/70/80% for 12s. Can only occur once every 30s.
Serpent’s Spine	Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 6% more DMG and take 3% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.

Dehya Talent Level-Up and Ascension Materials

Dehya’s Talent and Ascension materials can be found in the Sumeru Desert, and while players can wander there from the start of the game we have some bad news. In order to level up and Ascend Dehya, you’ll likely need to fight the Shouki No Kami The Prodigal – which is accessible only after completing the Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises”.

This means Travelers will need to complete Mondstadt’s, Liuye’s, Inazuma’s, and finally Summeru’s questlines. Meanwhile, Travelers will also need to farm plenty of Sand Grease Pupa, and defeat plenty of Eremites that will drop Rich Red Brocade and other materials.

As Dehya excels at dealing damage, you’ll want to max out her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst first before moving on to her Normal and Charged attacks.

Dehya Trailer in Genshin Impact

An official trailer for Dehya entitled “Dehya: Passion of the Burning Sands” was released on the Genshin Impact YouTube channel on March 1, 2023, the day she was introduced into the game. The video showcases her combat moves and fiery abilities.

Best Dehya team comp

The best Dehya team comp utilizes Nahida, Kokomi, and Yelan. The basic idea is that Dehya will be the main DPS, Nahida as a Sub-DPS, Kokomi as a healer, and Yelan for Support and Hydro applications.

Yelan and her burst will provide Dehya with Hydro applications during her normal attacks, which will trigger elemental reactions, often providing a nice boost to the overall DPS. Nahida is there for the Dendro application, which will result in Dendro cores and more damage.

Currently, Dendro is seen as the strongest element with the most flexibility, utility, and potential damage, all depending on how you apply it in your team and in each battle. Moving on we have Kokomi providing even more Hydro applications for elemental reactions with Dehya’s Pyro and Nahida’s Dendro.

Dehya may not exactly be the best damage dealer in Genshin Impact, but this team comp does highlight her effectiveness. And that’s about everything when it comes to teams, weapons, and the best Artifacts for Dehya in Genshin Impact.

That’s everything you need to know about creating the best Dehya build in Genshin Impact, including the Artifacts, weapons and Ascension Materials to use.
