This is my first video about an unreleased character since the copyright strike. I've avoided every kind of leaked image, or mention of Dehya's abilities by name, so there shouldn't be any issues this time around.

All these whiners in the comments. The Waifu>meta principle is weak in your hearts. What has become of our community. Most saddening Indeed.
I just want her E skill to proc faster, her ult duration to extend, and get of her locked c1 with that HP Ascension stat and make it a passive. That's literally it otherwise her kit is damn near unusable
Does her upcoming signature set change anything btw?
Melt Ganyu with Dehya is good I guess
Did you take her leaked artifact set into account
This is not a cope because I'm not pulling*
With all those changes with Dehya, She's still pretty bad and I see no potential of her getting buffed significantly. That being said, it gives me an idea that future character(s) might change the way she plays or buff her so much that Hoyoverse is way too cautious with buffing her. Hear me out, Hoyoverse will not make and design a character for a bad bad sales which they will rerun for years. Dehya wanters, if you are dedicated on pulling for her, You have a great chance of having another character who's meant for her to play with.
I pity the people that will roll for her on her initial run. Sad simps, it's some pixels.
I hope Hyv has actual plans for her kit in the future where we can make use of her potential like what happened with Thoma, Kuki and Alhaitham.
I saw leak on Baizhu that mentioned quite a few of possible elemental reaction in the future. So…
The only problem is that making an artifact exclusively for her isn't that of a big impact since the winners will also be hu tao ,xiao
Maybe solving energy recharge issue & improving her numbers by a bit on some reactions maybe overload or burgeon would make her more useful &unique
Don’t worry guys she will be given 1000% multipliers at C0
Looks like she is gonna be another Yae Miko. Her true value will come out when the hydro archon is released
What about risky comps ? Like Rosa Q Melts with Dehyas Q. Or Ayaka- Dehya. Also if picking Up Millelith and Using another shielder/supporter with Noblesse. Its partywide 40% atk buff and 30% shield buff. If taking pyro resonance into account: 65% ATK. Plus Dehya Mitigation and shield, you are almost immortal.
then maybe like zhongli, her burst doesnt matter… but her elemental skill matters
Dehya E skill is game changing with interruption resistance, damage mitigation, and pyro application. Dehya is utility support
I feel like Dehya was built to be used with the Hydro Archon, which would synergize with her current kit, hence the bad damage multipliers.
With the current roster, Dehya only has a few notable teammates and she herself seems to be bad in every team role compared to other better characters. This would be like how when dendro element drastically made certain characters roles change and made them much better.
At release she will be pretty bad, with a limited role in any team. However with the release of the Hydro Archon it will probably make her much better in a team. I really don't like this approach from Hoyoverse to sell us the solution to fix a bad character by getting another character in future patches.
The more they hate Dehya the more i love her, I don't care about her kit and numbers, she will be my pyro dps no matter what the outcome until her release.
What do you think about a new artifact set saving Dehya? How would you design an artifact set specifically for her?
So uh, is she buffed yet? Don't keep up with the leaks but there's no way Hoyo leaves her kit be right?
right???
My copium is that they will buff her after players spend pulls on Yelan / Hu Tao banners + weapon
If she is not playable until Fontaine synergy, sadge
I love her so I'm going to pull for her. And hoping that a new artifact set will save her.
But of course. I finally really like an Event Pyro 5* and she seems to perform.. not really good
Woulden't Deyha be good in Melt Ganyu tho?
If the team is Ganyu-Deyha-Nahida-Zhongli, it should work wonders. Yes I know its a full 5 star team, and its a bit pathetic that she is only there to hit with pyro every 5 seconds but oh well…at least she has some purpose.
As for the DPS that you stated, that Zhongli versions would provide more damage, well damage is not everything especially not for Melt Ganyu, since if you form the teams around her, she can deal a ridiculous amount of damage with Bennet+Jean+Zhongli.(I myself can reach 200k + CA shots in that scenario).
The freedom she would provide by making you no longer need to stay in the circle and no longer need to switch back into a pyro unit to reapply burning would be fairly ok .
She would still not be worth pulling for, but she can provide some freedom in the Melt Ganyu composition.
Nahida freed Melt Ganyu of Burst reliance and Dehya could free her of needing to switch to a pyro unit when or if the pyro on the enemy gets extinguished . It surely would be an improvement even if you trade , 4k theoretical max DPS, which on its own is honestly not that indicative of much. This is something that annoys me about TC's for Genshin. They treat it like any other game where DPS is king, despite the fact that Genshin is not played like that at all and despite the fact that sheets are just data that and not conclusions….
She is likely a burning enabler, based on her timings.
This means burning melt or straight burning like Nilou.
So… either there will be a new mechanic or change to her kit to buff burning, or there will be a new Nilou-like character that perfectly synergizes with Dehya.
When i heard about her kit i as really thinking about mona as her team mate, im really disappointed about her state and she deserves better.
How are you going to analyze her teams and not even mention burning, which she was obviously created for? 🙈
Asa future Dehya main, Thanks for tryin
thank you for not frogetting dehya 😢
I don't think she can vape 5/10 hits unless she doesn't follow standard ICD which she does afaik
Info from Zajeff:
"As I understand it, the testers were actually been complaining nonstop. She dies alot cuz her low HP and she cant dodge at her burst state. "
For a new artifact set I'm hoping for a HP 2set, with a 4set acting like emblem set but based on how low the unit's hp is
so basically Dehya only good in mono PYRO Team comp??? thats pretty BAD..i hope hoyo buff dehya
I have a very different plan for Dehya personally. I'm currently planning on using her as a pyro character for a burgeon team. Build her full em with the new event em claymore coming at the same time and just use her as an elemental skill bot for burgeon. Functionally using her in the same way as em raiden for hyperbloom. The mitigations and interuption resistance is just a nice bonus that she will provide. Full team I'm looking at is Nahida, Dehya, Xingqui/Yelan, and Kokomi. Not the best dps team build or anything, just hyper comfy as I am a casual player.
UPDATE: according to reliable grapevine scuttlebutt, her beta build just changed again. Her atk multipliers went WAY down, but it looks like she now has 2 sets of HP multipliers, 1 on her base kit, and 1 on her c1. There's other stuff too, like an extra damage source on her c2.
Implications: it might mean her kit is more integrated now, but unfortunately it reduces effect of wolf's gravestone, and Bennet and other atk buffs, but makes hp twice as viable… which is a but odd with yelan and xq because her burst doesn't proc their bursts… so it's a bit if a conundrum and I'm curious of your thoughts with the NEW numbers.
Is it good that she's more integrated split scaling? Or is the loss of Bennets efficacy for her an overall massive nerf?
So her best asset is interruption resistance? I guess I’ll take that.
Sad 😭
Theory crafters are right like they were right for kazuha,kokomi,yohimiya,raiden etc
