Why NO ONE Plays: Dehya | Genshin Impact

One thing Dehya is good at - getting the fastest No One Plays ever.

You should have called it why everyone plays Dehya as an april's fools release

It's so sad how this absolutely beautiful character, both in looks and personality, ended up broken like this

Deyha feels like she's missing her ascension passives. It feels like she has all the right pieces, but they forgot to glue them all together (which is what ascension passives usually do!)

She brought a whole new meaning to jump cancel

What's also terrible about this situation is how much mihoyo is censoring the main subreddit. Just mentioning the forbidden D word will get your post taken down in just a few minutes. Edit: they are censoring the main sub so much that they accidentally deleted Dehya's birthday art 💀

The (sadly) hilarious thing is how Mihoyo seems to cover all the exits to make her even remotely decent, like seriously, you can't even make a cursed physical build because her NA multipliers are lower than god damn Dori for no apparent reason.

As someone who actively follows the CBT leaks, it's also worth noting that Dehya was... Okay at the start of the 3.5 beta. Then she was nerfed into the dirt a couple weeks in, and that's the state we got her in the patch. That's why a lot of people were up in arms. Not to mention they ALSO nerfed the upcoming artifact set for her during the 3.6 beta. It seems like they're *actively* going out of their way to murder her and I just do not comprehend why.

Really my only reaction to how bad Dehya's kit is compared to other characters is just...why? Yes I know how there will always be weak units but there's no reason why Dehya should be like this. It's just disappointing. I'm not a "meta slave" but seeing KQM say themselves she "does not provide enough significant use cases to recommend using over many other characters" for her is just telling that even theorycrafters struggle to think of what to do.

Was not expecting a "Why NO ONE Plays" video of Dehya THIS quickly, didn't even leave her patch before this was released

I think an even bigger issue now is that she made people question HoYo's ability to create characters. Before her (at least I personally) never questioned if a character that was about to be released might be bad or even near unplayable (like Dehya in this case). Sure, everyone knows that some characters are worse or better than others but now that we have a character that was this hyped and turned out to be this bad... it really lowers my expectations for the future. Now everytime I see a cool new character being announced I will always have this thought in the back of my head saying "what if he/she is also just a trash tier char that had no thought or care put into it?"

Honestly yeah, I think Dehya's kit was intentionally made to be as bad as it is. I have no idea why, but there is NO WAY it was on accident. Hoyoverse have had three years to develop Genshin and design characters, they should already know what makes a character good and bad. It's really sad since my friend is trying to main her, but she keeps getting kicked out of co-op lobbies all the time and keeps having to ask me to carry her through domains and bosses. Really hope Hoyoverse gives her the Zhongli treatment and outright buffs her, but I already know that's not happening lol. Poor Dehya.

I think it's clear what the intention was with Dehya: to dilute the standard 5* characters because Tighnari is actually a pretty ok character and Keqing was buffed too much by dendro. They still need for there to be a high chance of getting a useless 5* I guess.

I’ve never been hesitant to pull for a character I like because they’ve always been usable to some extent. Dehya’s release is going to make me think twice on every 5 star released from now on though. I simply don’t understand why they decided to make her this way. It’s such a bummer because her design and character are fantastic! I feel like we were bound to get a crappy 5 star eventually but I really wish it hadn’t been Dehya. She’s so cool she didn’t deserve this…

What's even worse is that from what I've heard on reddit, the play testers told Mihoyo she was bad, and then they nerfed her. They did one of my favorite characters SO dirty, and as a result, I didn't pull for her.

When Dehya was first shown off in 3.0, I was really excited to pull for her eventually. In my opinion she is the best designed character of Sumeru, both in terms of looks and personality and story presence. Even after it was leaked how bad she was going to be, I still wanted to pull for her. But then Mihoyo went one step further and announced that they will throw her onto the standard banner. They did it, they managed to make a character that would've been an almost-guaranteed must-pull so bad and useless, that I decided to skip.

You know if Dehaya was released today it would have been funny . But sadly her kit is not a joke 😢

Dehya is truly one of the genshin charachters of all time. she is the second best pyro claymore female unit so far!

Dehya's kit is a MASTERCLASS of game design, I commend mihoyo for teaching a whole new generation of future game devs all you shouldn't do when designing a playable character, allowing them to experience it by themselves when playing dehya

How they didn't give her kit a burgeon/burning buff is beyond me. Every other 5 star sumeru character has interacted with dendro and its reactions in some way. Nilou buffs bloom, Nahida buffs everything, Alhaitham is dendro driver, Tighnari is meant for Spread and Cyno for Aggravate. Dehya's design screams burgeon or burning, and mihoyo had a chance to make burning an exciting reaction to use. Especially with her dmg absorption, she could have mitigated the self-inflicted burn dmg the team would otherwise take and then unleash it in her burst as a revenge attack. The slow pyro application would work well with burning too, because you can keep reapplying dendro to keep the burning reaction up.

Other claymore users: if you do a frame perfect jump, you can destroy your enemy with a dragon strike Dehya: if you jump after her burst...

Idk why she's so bad, Tighnari is a standard banner character too and he's a very solid character

It's frustrating to think HoYo might get away with releasing her in this state. So much of the big burst of heat they were getting over this has passed and idk if we'll ever get it to be that high again. There's a chance HoYo has listened and has buffs coming in the future but I worry that won't be the case.

This is heartbreaking for sure. The only good thing about her is her character and who she is. If it wasn’t for that then I’m sure almost everyone wouldn’t like her at all or even try to play her. Regardless of how she plays I still use her for quests and world play as well as raise her bond too. It’s unfortunate that I don’t use her for the Abyss or fighting bosses.

Honestly what I'd do to fix her is give her a passive similar to Vladimir's from league make her area follow the active character and just give flat damage reduction instead of whatever the hell that is and make her ult an infusion like cyno that alters her ability that grants a shield scaling with attack and have the damage from AA scale with HP

I CANNOT fathom, how a character can be made so poorly, that their *C6* should be their base kit. I just- How? The only possible scenario I have in mind is that they just genuinely hate her. But then why bother making her design and character good? Why bother making her a 5*? Why bother making her in the first place? And even if so, I don't understand. The disgusting amounts of money they could've made with giving her not even a good, but just a functioning kit... I remember how absolutely speechless i was when she got nerfed in the CBT. Like she was already bad and they just nerfed her even more. It felt like we're being made fun of. Dehya has to be a prank or something.

Being a standard banner character really doesn't help her case much if at all. The last standard 5 star added was Tighnari, and he's actually really good.

I feel like dehya might be worse than pre buffed zhongli, like i'm not sure if mihoyo could make a worse character, unless it had the abililty to kill your entier party as an elemental skill.

You forgot something Vars: the game's targeting system will actively fight against you if you activate her Burst against certain enemies (try using it against ASIMON when it goes invisible. Woof.). Edit: Also, according to recent info gathering, Dehya is very much a "create a problem, sell the solution" situation. "Oh, her signature weapon can make use of the damage transfer! And we also have this new artifact set that can make use of it too!" And according to rumors, Fontaine will put more emphasis on facetanking. But yeah, to see Dehya released like this is nothing short of frustrating and heartbreaking.

I always thought that one of Dehya 's passive should have been some sort of a Berserker mode, when she receives a certain amount of damage she goes Berserk (similar to the Jadeplume) getting a DMG, crit boost and immunity to interruption boost at the cost of an extremely low healing capability every certain amount of time. Also I think Dehya should have been a perfect character for having a counter ability like Beidou with a parry bonus if done correctly

Make sure to use all your standard fate before next version. There's no Dehya in pool yet

I want this patch to end early so bad, it's been a painful experience ever since I saw her kit and I just want to forget the pain 😭

The one good thing about Dehya is that now by contrast Xinyan and Thoma look a lot better. I honestly think they added Dehya to make the standard banner worse on purpose. Because if you pull and get a Qiqi, you are more likely to keep going in the hope that you end up with something good.

I REALLY love Dehya ( Like i pulled for her and her weapon and got both to lvl90 as quickly as possible), but man you were damn right, like every single word is true about her kit. Just hope that she can get a buff cuz this is just a sad joke.

It sucks that Dehya with such a good character design (aesthetically) came out like this... It really made me wonder if Hoyo was testing out if they could pull off a character with just looks. Early on she caught my attention, good thing I held on, snoop around, played her on the trial domain and eeeeeeh~

I was really interested in getting Dehya but when I heard the rumors of her "nerfs" i just said "maybe was too broken, probably will work well with burgeon" but after the rumors increased the uncertain started to grow, the "she will go to the permanent banner" made me say "well even if it goes to the permanent she should be serviceable or functional as Diluc" but when she was released it was a complete pain to see what they did to her. Definetly MiHoYo made a permanent character that is worst than Qiqi, at least Qiqi works as a healer but Dehya is a mess, I respect everyone that got her. The worst part is if the CN server didn't complain her, they'll never fix or buff Dehya, there is a rumor (copium) that she will improve with characters from Fontain or a new artifact set, but even the later got "rebalanced".

I lost Nahida to Dehya, came there to salt my wounds even further 😂

She was my most anticipated character and Mihoyo just made her a super bad standard banner char last minute 😢

I remember when there was a leak of her as a 4* and while I was disappointed at the time I felt that if they were trying to make a burngion unit that a 4* version would be a good tester, then I heard she was a 5* and I thought that she must be a good burngion unit since she was upgraded, then her kit was revealed and I thought she would be a berserker, then the theory videos came out, then she came out and my desire to summon her was already long gone, and now we are hear getting her dedicated artifact set soon and it's only a 5-10% increase at the cost of reliability due to her high burst cost (and she needs to take damage) for a standard unit she will be incredibly hard to build for anyone

Even her upcoming artifact set would not be able to save her 😢

Mihoyo took "Bad marketing is still a marketing" to whole new level

Dehya does do one thing really well and that's making Thoma look good.

I give my heartfelt apology to Dehya for calling her a 5* Xinyan... infact she's a 3* Xinyan.

She should've had a revenge counter like you said when tanking dmg and stacking it like Itto's or Eula's lightsword then use it with her ult for explosive dmg

Honestly refreshing to see you get passionate about this particular character. It's easy to trust that if you're upset about it, and breaking the normal objective approach you take, then MHY really screwed up.

Dehya is a tank who essentially requires a healer. that's just bad design when it doesnt have a payoff

New characters like Dehya are main reason why I'm always waiting for some guides/reviews before pulling.

I like the concept of Tank more dmg, deal more dmg. I think of it like this: Use Dehyas E and a visual indicator will appear (like Raidens E Tomoe Circle). The more damage is taken while the E is active the more charge you will have on the indicator. And based on the charge Dehyas Burst will deal more damage. Lets say you can absorb up to 10.000 HP with the E skill. Depending on the charge Dehyas Burst deals an procentage equivalent as bonus dmg with her burst: 0-10.000 dmg taken = 0-100% Bonus Burst dmg. With this kit the Constellations will have more potencial. Constellations could upgrade: - max. Dmg that can be absorbend for example from 10k HP up 20k HP which results in -> 0-20.000 dmg taken = 0-200% bonus Burst dmg - the dmg taken will be multiplied by (let's say) x1,5, for example: Hilichurl deals 1000 dmg to the active character but the E will add 1500 to the counter -> gain more charge

Poor Deyha, she got trapped in a mental state of breaking in a new sword over & over again & now she’s got an extremely inconsistent moveset. Somewhere on the development table, nobody wanted to give her a definitive move kit to work with.

She also has another very niche use; she can’t die to Frostbite, so she’s not half-bad in Dragonspine

if you dash jump during her burst duration, you cancel out the burst duration but she still does the dive kick. that doesn't help her much but it's really cool i think.

I think adding her to the standard banner is the cherry on top (!)

Funny you mention hoping Dehya would be a spiritual successor to Diluc. Way back when all we knew were her looks and name, I had hoped she'd be a hybrid of Diluc and Hu Tao.

Even if you ignored how obviously BAD her kit is, the real proof of how little Hoyo cares about her is how many extreme bugs she has that they are ignoring. 2 Days after Mikas release Hoyo gave us apologems because Mikas charge attack was 5 stamina cheaper than it should be, a beneficial bug, and they are sorry and will fix it immediately. Dehyas Burst Cancels if you jump, Burst cancels if you run into terrain, Burst auto targeting is stupid and cant attak Azdas tail, Devalins pimple, or enemy structures, her skill will disappear if you swap characters too fast, her skill (with interruption res) can be interrupted while casting. They just obviously do not give a shit about Dehya and it honestly makes me want to quit playing. THIS is the future of the game? They already told us that there will never be endgame content and future characters are going to be Dehyas??? Why bother to keep playing.

And yet people think that those of us that are posting to #FixDehya are bitching because we want her to be broken like Raiden or Nahida.

Does Hoyo just hate "dark" skinned female pyro claymore users? 🤔

Funny how you say everyone can see she's subjectively bad but there are still people out there fighting with their life to say she's decent or even tell people to "get over it (whenever someone talks abouther disappointing kit)" . The amount of copium in this fandom

Still playing dehya today and still no buff. i like playing her tho and abyss is still clearable with mono pyro. i don't have copium that shell be useful one day i just wanna play as a brown person with sexy clothes

The most depressing character in Genshin of all time for me. Sadly Dehya is the second (first is Xinyan) character that I thought would be decent until I saw the flaws personally. I quit the game last year but returned when my friends sent me pictures of Dehya. I have a thing for characters with some color and Dehya hit the spots I like with her aesthetic alone. When she showed up in story I thought, wow she's a great character I can't until she's playable. I saved for months and even skipped Ayato and Alhaitham who I wanted for her. After a week of playing with her and getting C2 with her BIS without spending money I can say she's the worst character in the game for me. She's too much of a hassle to use even to take down world bosses but my C0 Yae Miko performs better with a 4 star weapon. Dehya can work with Burgeon but it's too much setup and I don't feel like doing that all the time. I honestly would've been ok with they delayed her for another patch if they were able to work on her more but they obviously don't care and want to keep it moving. Her constellations definitely seems like it was made for a 4 star character as well. Lesson learned I guess, don't give your hopes up for a character unless it's an archon or release day. I basically quit again since Dehya has ruined my excitement for anything in Genshin. I'm playing other games while I wait for Honkai Star Rail since I like turn based games and I'm already interested in the story and characters such as Himeko, Bronya and Jing Yuan. I don't regret starting Genshin but I wish the team would try more with their characters and quality of life.

Correct me if i am wrong but dehya is first character who come out in same version and got why no one plays episode

The 2 theories I've seen as to why Dehya's so crap is 1- Mihoyo thought her kit was so terrible they opted to neuter then shover her off to the standard banner. 2- Petty company infighting with someone higher up wanting to sabotage Dehya as a f you to their creators.

Dehya's base ATK is on the same lv as bow users. This is someone who uses a GREAT SWORD. They have said nothing about her kit or address any of the complaints. I say SHE is a SIGN of the beginning of Myho not caring anymore.

It's like they had 2 teams of people, one team thinking she was a support who had an insane burst, and a team who thought she was a DPS that relied more on her skill and that's how we got a mid support skill and an awful dps burst

the crazy thing about her kit is that i can't even MIAGINE a situation where this kit was like this from the start,it looks like she was made broken and then little by little they nerfed the heck out of her kit resulting in the version of the character we have now

Players: we want harder content for built characters. Hoyo: Done. Here is Dehya. Players: not like that

I like to run Noelle with Dehya. While Noelle has a shield, her shield’s downtime is pretty long and I use her shield during Dehya’s skill’s downtime. I find that this gives Dehya enough time to heal herself in prolonged fights while still having her skill work to full effect despite having a shielder. I do feel like these two characters do make up for the other’s defensive shortcomings.

There's a lot of issues I want to be addressed with Dehya, she just really needs to have her current kit fixed tbh like she would've worked *IF* she didn't have just bs issues. First - her skill. It's a form of defensive utility. What really sucks about it is that it's not really that efficient in keeping you alive because it has such a stupidly high downtime. You know what could make it work? The second recast of her skill refreshes the skill duration, or her burst refreshes its duration, much like how Kokomi can extend the duration of her jellyfish by casting her burst, by then, you'd actually have a reason to use it because it pretty much has 100% uptime and you're not really gonna die without it. Another one is her skill's pyro application. Small hitbox, very long intervals on it, making it unreliable for burgeon, which is something she could've been so good at. But no. Very long downtime, and unreliable pyro app. Everything about her skill is so bad, because I'm pretty sure her skill applied pyro every 2.5 seconds, and during that timeframe, you could generate a lot of dendro cores. Because of ICD of dendro core damage, if you let too many dendro cores hang around on the ground untouched, if Dehya pops them, it's only gonna do two instances of burgeon damage. It's already a DPS loss at that point. Third, her lack of synergy with off-field supports. The only characters that really synergize greatly with her is the core members of mono pyro, namely Kazuha, Xiangling and Bennett. Yelan and Xingqiu does not work with her which is absolute bs, even worse than Raiden's issue with Beidou (I genuinely don't understand why the hell is Hoyoverse so petty like this) and honestly, Lyney does better in that mono pyro team. Slap Childe, Ayato or Xingqiu and it's gonna be better. Furina's addition could help her but honestly not really, because you would need a healer and Bennett doesn't really suffice for her in Dehya teams unless you really put in the effort to put him on 4pc Maiden's or Clam. Fourth, her burst. It's so.. disappointing. The damage.. it's there, I guess. If they wanted to make her a DPS, at least make her numbers decent. Even Ningguang or Lisa might even be better than her at damage outputs. Not to mention the stupid fact that your burst gets cancelled when you jump, why tf does that issue exist? Her kit is trying to be too good at too many things at once and it absolutely sucks at it. DPS? Bad multipliers. No synergistic supports. Defensive utility? Healers and shielders exist - Xingqiu does the job better and provides damage and enable reactions. She wants to become a burgeon carry? Her skill sucks at it. That's why she'll always stay at Level 20 for me. :/

Now my biggest fear is losing 50 50 to deyah 😢

I remember when we all thought she'd be like a Burgeon/Burning Nilou. We really live in the darkest timeline. The retaliation mechanic is a great idea. Could be implemented into an artifact set maybe?

I NEED her to be good one day like oh my god shes so fuckin cool in every way except gameplay it sucks so bad. Why does hoyo hate her so much

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN SINCE IT'S REVERSE DAY EVERYBODY ACTUALLY PLAYS DEHYA

I wonder if she could be better if they changed her burst to work more like Itto/Noelle where she getts more dmg from her ATK stat and max HP but the dmg is autoattack not elemental burst dmg. This way she can work with Yelan, Xingqiu and Beidou and use Gladiator 4 piece passive

i think dehya has the best character design of a female character in genshin, i loved her so much from the beginning bc she was so interesting has a unique story and oh my gosh her looks. But i didn't pull bc nothing in her kit works...

I have no idea why they didn’t simply make her a Burning/Burgeon dps. It would’ve been perfect for a Sumeru character to showcase the new reaction.

Hoyoverse made a feedback form about Dehya. About her normal attacks, her skill, her burst, her constellations, talents, everything. I thought: "Let me just fill this out real quick" and it actually took me over 2 hours to write all of it down and I probably still missed something. In the end pretty much the only thing I could think of that Dehya excels at was to walk around dragon spine without the use of food buffs. I mentioned all of the things I could think of that makes her broken and bad including the fact that you pretty much needed to get her C6, her signature weapon R5 as well as perfect stats on your artifacts (which you will likely never get because of RNG) to even make her just somewhat decent. Also pointing out that it is a failure of the designers if you have to get the constellations to make her playable, as they are there to improve a character and not fix something that is broken to begin with. Ending it by saying that all in all she needs to be buffed on all fronts or reworked completely. Like you said I was honestly expecting that Dehya was going to be someone who would take damage, get enraged and deal a ton of damage back in return and I think that would be cool. Right now she is trying to be too many things and failing at everything. She tries to be a tank (any shielder does it better) She can heal (but only herself) She can't do damage because of the low damage multipliers She does have some things that buff her damage when she takes damage (not enough for it to matter at all)

Genshin logic: Characters that aren't actual fighters by lore are busted in gameplay. Characters that are fighters by lore are laughably weak.

I feel that if she was able to use her burst and skill, this would make her better as she wouldn't be held back then

I pulled her. I don't regret it. ...because I have Hu Tao with Homa to use instead

As an owner of a lvl 90 Dehya, i can confidently say the if all they did was reduce the attack interval of her skill, that by itself would make her so so so much better.

I pulled for her and spent money. I just didn't care. I wanted her since the initial Sumeru trailer. I've never been one to keep to a meta if it's a unit whose design I enjoy.

I play dehya for the movement speed during the day, because I don't have rosaria. 15% extra movement speed while grabbing oculus, and exploring is required because movement speed in genshin is just so slow. Even if dehya didn't have any use at all, I'd still use it for the movement speed.

Like many, I was really hyped for Dehya as a playable character. I was hoping that she will be the first pyro character that will put burgeon as a viable alternative to bloom, cause as much as I like the convent dmg of bloom, it restricts me to do a wider variety of team composition for dendro. As mentioned in the video, Hoyo could've capitalized on Dehya's taken damage in a form if revenge mechanic (I'm thinking of putting it as an additional damage to her Q, just like how Sett's W in LOL works) but they didn't. They served Dehya as a complete mess. To say that I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I wish this is the last time Hoyo would get away of this kind of BS lol

Just pointing out a couple things: You can use units like Mona and even Nilou to vape more consistently. The others don’t work because it’s not a form shift it’s just an extended burst animation, Her ult doesn’t destroy her field, it reabsorbs it and will restore it on completion of the ult, Her strongest utility is probably that golden whatever passive that makes you completely unstaggerable for its duration(even though the field is 12 seconds but the passive duration is 9 like wtf), and she also gets this passive when she ults so you’re not getting interrupted in it. I’m pretty sure she was supposed to be a good pyro reapplier/tank hybrid. She’s useful in filling out pyro resonance and making the active character unstaggerable without the possibility of a shield breaking from the level of damage Not saying all this to defend her or be an ass(I really like your videos, don’t hate me), just noticed a couple discrepancies in what you were saying.

HOT TAKE: imo, she would be a 4 star, but made 5 star and sent to standard banner to cover some of the damage tighnari Eng VA caused to the character

I expected Dehya slander and I absolutely got what I wanted.

I was so hyped about playing her, like she got 6 stars chara design, she's a strong desert woman reminding me of the gerudos from zelda, and I love zelda so much of course I'd pull for Dehya, I knew she wasn't going to be good since they said she was ending up on standard banner, but it didn't bother me since diluc for example may not be that strong, but there's still some ways to make him work. Heck there's some mad lads that made aloy work (huge respect for you aloy mains) And then I got dehya, and every step in trying to make her work was a step closer to madness, I had a pretty good emblem set, I even unlocked bennet c6 for her, and despite everything she's still bad She is getting an artifact set next patch, and spoiler alert it's worse than emblem because of her energy issues

I dont understand how such a massive character in the story line, portrayed as this super bad A$$ warrior that kicks a$$ everywhere she goes, gets tossed out at us as a big pos 5* that has so much wrong with her, but never got fixed… She’s got such an awesome design, and outfit its just such a shame to waste all that on a character that no one ever plays..

To fully capitalize on Deyha's burst, you gotta use some combination of the following: Ayato, Nahida, Ganyu, Nilou, and Barbara. With Nahida and Nilou being the most important.

I honestly love dyeha after the sumeru achron quest it’s sad that they made her kit crap I hope they can fix her soon

I can't be the only one who had hoped Dehya would have speciflized in burning and burgeon, the pattern seemed that the Sumeru 5 stars, except Wanderer, would play around the dendro reaction. Tighnari and Alhaitham focus on spread for direct dendro damage, Cyno on aggravate and hyperbloom, Nilou or bloom and Nahida on all dendro reactions being the archon. With the pattern is would have made sense for Dehya to focus on boosting the damage of burning and burgeon, even her skill is called molten, you know lava related to why not focus on damage over time? Either that or focus on her tanking and increase the damage of her skill and burst as she takes damage but they didn't go that way either. In a way Dehya is similar to Xinyan where they didn't know what direction to go with her kit. Being split into either being a pseudo main dps and being an off field dps but not doing well at either. It's also noticeable in her test run and the trial version kit with how they want her to be presented. In her trial they wanted Dehya to be like Raiden, setting up for off field damage then coming in to use the burst before rotating back through the team. She had lots of attack and HP along with her signature weapon and yet her damage wasn't much lower that what everyone expected, granted that's also the community raising the bar way to high for all future characters but I digress. In her kit for the vibro crystals, she was focused on HP and being an off field support all the way even with the Bell.

I feel like a simple fix (without a full rework) to make Dehya's kit more cohesive, would be to add extra damage to her burst based on the damage she mitigated but also when she hits enemies in her burst, each kit can provide some healing for the team. It doesn't have to be incredible healing up to full because she mitigates damage anyway, her damage numbers wouldn't have to be incredibly high because at least her healing would be useful. (My second fix would be having her work with Xingqiu and Yelan, though they made Raiden not work with Beidou so this might not happen). Yeah Dehya is standard, but look at Tighnari, he is very strong, though his element does help him (especially when paired with electro), his kit is cohesive, Dehya is pyro which is generally a good element too.

Doesn't help that her signature set in 3.6is actually WORSE than 4P Emblem.

Dehya was originally going to be a four star and had a similar kit to chongyun (without the infusion and some additional damage stuff), this doesn't excuse her current state in the game, but at least explains it a bit

Honestly I had the idea of having deyha gain say a pyro stack everytime she absorbs a certain amount of dmg while off field with her ability with a max of 5. Then when she activates her burst she uses those pyro stacks up and gets a 20%dmg boost for each stack while her burst is active. Something like that

An elemental reaction based game that limits you to do any reactions with element. smh

This vid was released on April fools because dehya's kit is a joke

The concept for Dehya's character and playstyle vs. how it was executed is my biggest disappointment with the entire game so far. From the moment I first saw her in a cutscene I knew I was going to pull for her, which I still did, but the fact that having her take up a character slot is actively hindering yourself in most cases is just feels like a slap in the face to anybody who likes her design. If there was ever a time for a character buff this would be it, because at this point it feels like there was an office-wide competition to design the most incongruent and non-functional kit in the game and it unfortunately got slapped on one of the coolest and most likeable characters (personality and appearance-wise, at least), just completely bricking her.

I’ve been maining Denys ever since I got her instead of yoimiya, and honestly even though she doesn’t hit very hard, I have almost 100% dragon spine and she’s kept my team alive in so many instances that they would have died

If they just let her burst consistently proc vaporize with Yelan and Xingqui she would be a decent unit that’s at least on par with Diluc imo
