Who is Dehya?

Dehya is a 5★ Pyro Claymore character and a freelance mercenary from Sumeru. She functions primarily as an off-field Pyro support, damage absorber, and Burgeon/Burn enabler. Her Elemental Skill summons a Fiery Sanctum field that redirects party damage to herself and deals coordinated Pyro hits. As an on-field DPS she requires C1+ and her signature weapon for viability. She was added to the Standard Banner in Version 3.5. Sources: https://game8.co/games/Genshin-Impact/archives/Dehya-Best-Builds · https://keqingmains.com/q/dehya-quickguide/

Kit Summary

Normal Attack

Used on-field DPS builds; not leveled in support builds.

Elemental Skill (Molten Inferno)

Elemental Burst (Leonine Bite)

Rapid Pyro punches (main DPS mode) plus a DEF shield. Requires significant investment (constellations, ER) to use reliably on-field.

F2P Verdict

⏭ SkipPatch Luna VII

On the Standard Banner — D-Rank Main DPS, C-Rank Sub-DPS, B-Rank Support per Game8. Her support role is accessible but outperformed by most other Pyro units. Game8 recommends: "reconsider spending Primogems on her since she is coming to the standard pool." Best used as a free Standard pull or Chronicled Wish bonus. Sources: Game8 · KQM.

Available on the Standard Banner — you may pull her without spending limited-banner Primogems. In her support role (the most accessible), use Sacrificial Greatsword or Favonius Greatsword. For Burgeon, a 3★ Bloodtainted Greatsword with EM artifacts is viable. Do not invest heavily in on-field DPS without C1 and a premium weapon. Sources: Game8 · KQM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dehya a good DPS?

At C0 she is a weak on-field DPS (D-Rank per Game8). She requires C1 (HP scaling on Skill/Burst) and her signature weapon Beacon of the Reed Sea to function as a proper carry. Her support role is more practical. Source: KQM.

What is the best free weapon for Dehya?

For support: R5 Sacrificial Greatsword (bypasses her 20s Skill cooldown) or Favonius Greatsword. For Burgeon: Mailed Flower or 3★ Bloodtainted Greatsword. Source: KQM.

Is Dehya worth pulling?

Not as a limited pull — she is on the Standard Banner and available from Chronicled Wishes. Game8 advises against spending limited Primogems on her unless you have specific team synergies. Source: Game8.

What does Dehya's Elemental Skill do?

Her Skill creates a Fiery Sanctum field that redirects 30% of party damage to Dehya and fires coordinated Pyro hits on enemies — useful for protecting teammates with high personal HP builds. Source: KQM.
