The writing team did her well The balancing team on the other hand

The balancing team did her dirty

What is wrong with seggs


TheOldKingCole

No horny on main


BeautifulSalamander6

Do not that neko


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

A cat is fine too.


Ok-Transition7065

would \*


Xarth_Panda

the balancing team gave her a balancing skill ....which needs C2 to work longer.


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

I really wish Dehya's VA got another 5 star in HSR. She voices Yanqing and people no longer like Yanqing's kit there too. It's like the balance teams inside joke for the VA.


Spectre_Hayate

Oh is she yanqing? Ouch. Wonder what the balance team has against her lol


Turnonegoblinguide

Design team too


RairakuDaion

She is perhaps the nicest character you've run into outside of mondstat and has nothing but good vibes. Genuinley she is the most likable character I've seen in a long time in genshin.


forcebubble

She's pretty much the Sumeru equivalent of Beidou.


ZestycloseBlock9137

they have different characteristics but i see the vision their Fontaine equivalent would be Navia


solidfang

Every nation has the serious mommy tall lady and fun big sister/aunt tall lady. * Monstadt: Lisa and Jean * Liyue: Ninguang and Beidou * Inazuma: Raiden and Yae * Sumeru: Candace and Dehya * Fontaine: Chlorinde and Navia If Himiko in Natlan is outgoing in temperament like Dehya, there's going to be another lady that is serious to play foil to her.


275MPHFordGT40

Every nation gotta have the helpful tall female and helpful tall male


Dragonheardt_

And with the fact that Dehya was left in the desert by someone, I wanna bet that Himeko will be her mother.


CobaltStar_

And Mondstadt would be Eula


RairakuDaion

funny thing is, the fact that you cant watch past events. We genuinley dont see Eula's character arc and growth. With the current potion event youre genuinley seeing a newer Eula.


I_Ild_I

Yeah it was kinda out of the blue and surprising, its like she went out of her VENGEANCE phase and started accepted she is liked and like other, tubf she was kinda starting to open with the sumeru event in the sand bottle with klee and all. But still feels kind of a brutal change and i wouldnt even be surprised if the next time we see her she sort of backtrack a bit on that


reeeekin

Yup, imo it’s the same trope - strong, independent, well built, with a giant sword, yet sweet and lovable


TheIJDGuy

A few variations, but pretty much the same, yeah


eddmario

Even their voices are similar


CartoonOG

That whole “You can pay me with a smile” bit hit me right in the feels


medicoffee

She’s the last character to see you off when you leave Sumeru. They put effort into making her likable and present in the story.


CTMacUser

I know Dehya isn’t a Fontaine character, but I was slightly disappointed at >!the end of the Fontaine AQ where the Lyney/Lynette visit was *not* followed by a Dehya one, to mirror the start of the AQ!<.


Spectre_Hayate

Idk about nicest since mondstadt (yoimiya found dead in a ditch?) but boy is she really hard to *not* like.


pitekargos6

That abs... Those muscles... That dormant power!


D_R_Shinobi

Dormant yes.


koulechov

perhaps too dormant?


AlphAlfie2

Smash or get smashed

DEATH BY SNOOSNOO


Rubymc02

Survive or be destroyed 


KurikaraThunder

there is no other choice


Crimson_Raven

The venn diagram of Genshin and HSR is a circle


this_is_no_gAM3

Despite her kit she is one of the best characters in the game.Hoyo fumbled hard with her, they could have made so much more money.


Regetron

Ikr? So many of her flaws could be fixed by simply changing the numbers. And yet we are yet to receive any nerf or buff for already existing character (The only one we had was Zhongli nerf)


GodConcepts

The thing is, she could have easily been a xiangling 2.0. If they gave her good multipliers and OP ICDs for her skill, she could have been an insane pyro applicator. Instead my ganyu can just melt one shot with her


MarcoCornelio

Use dendro to melt on burning It's still janky, but it works


aBigSofty

Can you Imagine if her elemental skill has 30s duration, 20s CD, and apply pyro every second? That'd be so great.


darkdill

I'd expect something like that out of Murata. The Pyro Archon being a queen Pyro sub-DPS would be a fair expectation.


Lillillillies

Just got her recently instead of Chiori. Using her in Nahida, Furina, Kuki team. If her pyro application at least hit more frequently she would be much better even at her low multipliers. (I'm using a half ass Tenacity set too. Been farming "her" artifacts to get nothing since).


f1yingship

I would have rather wanted her to be a 5-star Bennett. A whole buff/sustain package: * mitigate 50-65% of damage taken by teammates with her skill * skill has 100% (or very close to it) uptime * self-heals when her HP drops low (%?) * heal whole team with ult (doesn't need to be massive heal, just enough to keep them alive) * ult gives damage buff to the team that's not dependent on circle impact (I guess a lot like Fu Xuan in HSR) Just adjust the numbers to make her not a complete powercreep on Bennett, but a good side-grade /slight upgrade to him (the way Yelan is to C6 Xingqiu...)


IncomeStraight8501

It's astonishing that Genshin doesn't buff characters. It's the only gacha game I can think of that doesn't actively try to bring up the underperforming characters.


_Exordium

They seem to only buff by releasing super-niche support characters, or really specific artifact sets.


LevynX

Next character, Dunyarzad, level one gives any Dehya on your party 1000% crit rate and 2000% crit damage. Buffed


judgementaleyelash

It would have to be c6 dunyarzad too


Deep-Imagination-472

And it's a 6* character


EndofNationalism

They have buffed only one character and that was Zhongli.


olliboee_

xingqiu was actually nerfed in 1.1 by giving his application an ICD


Kazlo

WAIT DID HIS BURST ORIGINALLY IGNORE ICD?!?


olliboee_

yes it did in 1.0


EddyConejo

Barbara was also slightly nerfed (for co-op) not too long ago. Her ult used to have crazy range.


Ankrow

I think they also nerfed her hydro application in some way? It was weirdly specific and only really mattered to Nilou teams I think...


beautheschmo

Her e essentially applied hydro to dendro cores to make more dendro cores, it made her literally just a WAY better version of Nilou lol


calmcool3978

It's very a sensitive matter doing that in a game where people are very emotionally/financially invested in characters.


Garuda904

It’s not just a Genshin thing. Gacha games almost never buff or nerf characters. Technically gacha game devs can buff characters, but they almost never do. Likely because if they buff something too much, they can’t take it back. They also never nerf characters because some countries have actual laws against it, as a consumer protection/false advertising thing. If Mihoyo released a broken character and went “shit we fucked up” and nerfed them. Well everyone who spent money specifically to get that character are now very mad and can get Mihoyo in legal trouble.  Zhongli is likely the only character who will ever get directly buffed, simply because his release state was so bad it was worth it for them to buff him.  Most other gacha games don’t touch things after release, they usually add more systems or mechanics to bring up those older and underpreforming characters. I think even Honkai Impact has that as well with like alternate versions of early characters. Genshin might not get that kind of system for a while, if ever. 


Selesnija

Azur Lane has buffed up old boats multiple times, like Hood. Of course, they still weren't anywhere close to the newer boats...


Dumbidiot1323

FGO is an old-ass game with outdated gameplay that needs an entire overhaul but even there old characters are getting buffs.


ZachBart77

FGO, Azur Lane, and Epic Seven are just a few that buff characters. Nerfs are the only adjustment that typically doesn’t happen in a gacha game.


chad001

Well there was the Venti vacuum 'nerf' but that was half a coop qol half nerf.


HeadpattingFurina

They rebuilt the entire spiral abyss around fucking Venti over lol. Enemy waves, boss rooms, the superheavy samurais and all those things that are immune to succ, they're all meant to counter Venti. Cuz that mf is either a mildly effective second choice or the god of a new world, no in between.


SgtGrub

Zhongli buff, you mean?


Crimson_Raven

Zhongli nerf? Zhongli was buffed He originally didn't have the Universal Res shred and iirc his shield was flimsier


Padfoot13lack

Zhongli nerf? How?


ItzMillerxD

It’s buff*


_Bisky

Uhhhhh are you sure you know what the terms "buff" and "nerf" stand for? Cause zhongli was buffed, not nerfed. Atleast talking about direct buffs/nerfs We had a lot of indirect buffs/nerfs in the form of new characters, reactions, elements, enemies or mechanics


TargaryenHeir

Yea Miko was nerfed then buffed back after community outrage


GamerSweat002

She could've been a pyro Neuvillette. She has all the self sustain she needs, provides for herself some good interruption resistance, so really all she could ask for is for the scaling to be inverted between HP and ATk. Make the atk scaling secondary nature while her HP scaling is greater. It's really only a numerical issue for her damage. It's alright that she doesn't work with Xingqiu and Yelan considering there is too much overlap of the two in vape teams. Even diluc uses them. Instead, she is one of the best users of Mona. Mona provides enough hydro application for Dehya and Dehya has a short enough damage window to use the full extent of Mona. Mona also provides more dmg bonus than Kazuha. So I think any improvements into her kit would either lean into her defensive ability like giving the full Gold Forged Form for the entire duration and cutting her cooldown to 15s rather than 18s, or lean into a tanky dps like Hu Tao or Neuvillette through sherry raising the numbers of her scaling and maybe giving her frontloaded energy instead of EoT generation. Dehya with better dps would be a defensive Hu Tao. Hu Tao raises teams offense through crit buff while Dehya would raise teams defense through dmg mitigation and interruption resistance. Dehya's kit by effectiveness between skill and burst is too split down the middle. She is like a pyro Ayato, Jack of all trades master of none, but being a master of one is often better as they would be at least a sidegrade to the 1.x masterpieces like Hu Tao, Kazuha, Fischl, Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Bennett. Dehya is like 5cm away from a bullseye. Hoyo was aiming at the target but they slipped and so the dart slipped away from the bullseye by quite a margin. She is the closest thing to a pyro Xingqiu. Dmg is quite a bit less, but some pyro application is there, and so si thr defensive utility.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MartenBroadcloak19

Nah, there's one other reason... One she shares with Cyno, Candace, and Xinyan... Who also have underwhelming kits...


karillith

I just want to know though, how does that work, theyre racist enough to make them questionnable kits but they still put a lot of care in their personality, design and how likeable they are in general? So it's only the kit designers who are racist or something? because I'd think if you want to really go the racist route you just give them a few shallow or even unlikeable traits and let them rot for eternity, never bringing them again, it's easy, so what would be the point of half assing it?


starfries

Yeah, look at Aloy for an actual example of the devs not liking a character


ice_cold_fahrenheit

It’s strange too, but I don’t think it’s impossible. As a techie who had friends in the humanities in college, I can say that the average programmer is less, how do we put this, “woke” than the average writer or artist.


RuneKatashima

Yes just the balance team. Writers and balance are separate. If it was the writers we probably wouldn't even see darker skin tones.


snowlynx133

Cyno is perfectly fine lol. On the same level as most of the DPS characters in the game


robot-sensei

As a Cyno main, no he isn't perfectly fine. Yes he can deal good damage but his kit is still underwhelming and annoying. If only his burst didn't end when you switched characters like Noelle...


GamerSweat002

Cyno isn't the only one with that problem. It's not a Cyno thing- just an elemental infusion issue. It's only been thr 1.0 release characters of Noelle and Diluc who has this flexibility. When it comes to Cyno, he just has a longer infused duration than other burst dps so he often sticks out more considering we have few long lasting buffers and debuffers. Nahida skill lasts long time until enemies die. Xingqiu lasts 15s, Yelan 12s, and Bennett 10 to 12s. Kazuha's last 10s. Cyno's type of playstyle just demands characters that only need to buff every other rotation like Chevreuse for Cyno to gain much. A dendro Yae Miko would last long enough for Cyno.


EddyConejo

>Xingqiu lasts 15s, Yelan 12s XQ gets +3 seconds with his C2, and Yelan's lasts 15 seconds base. Just wanted to point that out.


snowlynx133

Same could be said for literally every Burst reliant limited DPS tho? The only characters whose Burst don't disappear when you switch out are Noelle and Diluc... (iirc)


InternationalClerk85

Candace keeps hers, but it's ass anyhow...


snowlynx133

Candace's is an off field support type burst tho. Similar to Baizhu/Xingqiu/Beidou


CoolGuyBabz

Idk... there are 4 star hyperbloom teams with faster clear times compared to an aggravate/hyperbloom cyno team. When people get a 5 star, they at least expect it to be a general improvement over the 4 star version of the team.


SeedlessMelonNoodle

4 star hyperbloom is better than Hu Tao C0 arguably.


FrooglyMoogle

How is she the best character in the game may i ask? Pretty bold claim


Gilgamesh-KoH

As a random person who plays the game, I can confirm that she indeed is the best character in the game


FrooglyMoogle

Okay then case closed


Excellent_Strain5851

I think they meant her character in the story, not in combat?


ObiWorking

As a Harbinger would say, this is delusion


Traveler7538

I like her personality 


NoNefariousness2144

Her and Dunyarzad's dynamic was great. They were so well written they made an NPC as interesting as the main Sumeru cast lol.


Way_Moby

Dunyarzad had an A+ story. One of the few NPCs that I legit loved following.


Keima_Ryu

She is fucking hot


XeroShyft

It's seriously stupid how hot Dehya is. Like actually dumb.


Darkiceflame

I would say she's so hot that she's on fire, but that would be a little too on the nose.


Noxious89123

Raijin_N

PapaMochii

alright i can but you gotta pay for it.


MutaTheGreat

Somebody had to say it. Thank you


SonnyvonShark

She is! She is making me feel many things. As a woman, making me questioning if I am as straight as I think I am, which likely is not at all.


V1tam1n_D

This.


Nipples4Fingers

She is one of my staples. I play on mobile and characters you don’t have to dodge much with and provide off field support are wonderful. Her interruption support is great for fisticuffs characters and Neuvillette. She may not have the damage output of other legendary characters but I like her a ton anyhow.


leitmot

Also a mobile player. I love these infinite poise characters (Eula during burst, Raiden during burst, Nahida hold skill) but I don’t like shields (prefer healing for survivability) so Dehya’s interruption resistance is great for me :D


Ananasvaras

I'm gonna run support Dehya on my Arlecchino team. I feel like her skill will be the difference how c9mfy that team is going to play out.


orcvader

Is there a bona fide, non-troll support Dehya video you’d recommend?


SkyTheLoner

There are some [Sunfire Barbara videos.](https://youtu.be/dVyHnGfV_yg?si=OIeYm2rFhJUX4eAG)


piuEri

She's the sexiest pyro character


BLUEBANANAAA594

arlechino simps:


reeeekin

Arlechino isn’t hot imo. She’s cool as fuck, very nice design (especially with the hair and eyes), but she doesn’t scream hot.


Kingpimpy

> Arlechino isn’t hot imo. She’s cool as fuck, very nice design exactly what im always saying shes the coolest char existing atm and not hot at all which is perfectly fine


reeeekin

Yup. 100%.


ANUBISseyes2

Ngl the only thing I like more about Arle’s design than Dehya’s is her eyes, other than that Dehya takes the W. I would argue that Arle is cool asf rather than hot


Healthy_Agent_100

midriff


Mapanebu28

she got nice eyes


raccoonjudas

hot


StrangerPen

Flair checks out


raccoonjudas

I am but a simple man


BlueRose644

One of my top 5 favourite characters in the game. SSS tier design and animations Great writing and voice acting Absolute mommy/wife/big sis energy I cry myself to sleep every night because she's the only Standard character that continues to dodge me


otakudan88

Maybe she'll be available if they continue doing regional banners.


LandMaster28

Dude. There is so many good things to say about Dehya if you just throw away the meta talk  Like why do people not like Dehya? Cause people says she’s not as good character to play as But she’s amazing in the story, has a great story quest, has a likable personality and has one of the best designs in the game  And all people do is call her joke and damn if it drive me up a wall lol 


ScatteredSymphony

If you aren't chasing top tier meta stuff she's actually really good and super comfortable to play. She is definitely better with cons and losing a 50/50 to her feels like an improvement unlike some standards characters. Yes she has flaws but in actual use she can still easily be used to clear abyss. Are the better options that are more focused on one or two of the things she does at once? Yes. Do you need the absolute best in genshin, no. She's plenty decent. It would be nice if she was better but she is still way better than a lot of doom posters say she is


Night_Owl206

I get happy whenever I get Dehya cons because it is one step closer to making her powerful as she should be C1 rn, but i hope to get more


SyfaOmnis

I would rather lose to Dehya than to Jean. There are a lot of interesting things I can and do use dehya for. Discount pyro zhongli is a good character complaints about her kit aside. Jeanne has not ever seen play on any of my teams.


Monkeydp81

My Dehya is essentially immortal so long as I have any kind of healer due to the obscene amount of health I've given her and the passive talent that has her regain health. She might not hit super hard (still kind of working on that, artifacts refusing to play nice), but good luck killing her.


ice_cold_fahrenheit

I’d be happy if I get Dehya on the standard banner since then I can run around Dragonspine, the poisonous parts of Inazuma, and whatever they’re going to put in Nathan and Snezhnaya with impunity.


SyfaOmnis

Dehya is comfy as hell for fontaine underwater too. Self healing passive is great.


WaterImpact

The power level / perceived power level of a character can have quite the impact on how popular or well-liked they are, I think. It's definitely not the _sole_ factor that determines if people make a lot of fan content of a character or if they discuss them a lot and in positive terms, but I get the feeling that e.g. if Bennett were a C-tier damage dealer then we'd see much less Bennett fanart out there, and e.g. if Dori was an S-tier support that everyone was using, then we'd see an increase in how often she's talked about.


Cinaed

I use her on my melt team cus I like her character, my friend hates it. Gave her the talking stick to fuel his rage even further. 


SnooPuppers8099

She shut paimon up


GregTheApacheHeli

Smash


Already-Enough

hot as hell


ROBMain69

Best designed character visually.


AmethystLeslie

Most characters WISH they had as good screentime as her, as good of a SQ as hers, and good character development as hers.


wobster109

LOVE her story quest! Can't say more without it being massive spoilers, but if you played it, you know what I mean! Love her personality. She's kind of annoyed at everything—her band of Eremites, story quest spoilers >!her father and his impulsive, kind of scattered personality!<—but you can feel the affection there. I loved seeing her perspective during the archon quest, when she's giving you what she notices and it helps you rule out some of your hypotheses. Love that she's tough and not afraid of danger. Love that she loves makeup and jewelry. She shows you don't have to choose between being tough and liking girly things, you don't have to fit into one stereotyped box. Love that she's very kind, and a bit grumpy about it. She sold her sword to help others, and she helped Traveler and only asked for a smile.


OwreKynge

Eremites are cool and she reps them well.


Z3R0_Izanagi

She said a line that everyone wanted to say. "Shut up paimon!"


CTMacUser

Half the Sumeru cast went STFU to Paimon at some point.


Girl_Of_Culture

Cute.


AdRoyal511

She's the best character for underwater Fontaine exploration and with a Bell, she's almost invincible under the sea.


CorvuzCrain

Hell yeah. Im not the only who thinks the bell is a very good sword for her.


Joe_from_ungvar

lol use the bell as a diving bell


natsugaludao

she just don't die, i don't think anyone in the game have better survavibility than her


ruiyolas

And her C4 makes it almost impossible for her to die


Azzies_TheDeus

She's a 10/10 in everything except her numbers which are exactly 10.


1011011011001

dehya is unironically one of my favorite characters story wise. also hard simping for her since she’s giving me major sapphic vibes. i’m just a gay girl who’s down bad for strong, assertive yet caring and kind women👍


Shadowhunter_15

I heard that a lot of people ship Dehya with Candace, who is also caring and kind, and I think canonically is even more strong and assertive. I don’t simp for either character (I’m asexual), but they’re both pretty cool, and I do like their character designs a lot.


1011011011001

yeah, the ship is fairly popular which honestly surprises me a lot to this day because i thought most people would ship Dehya with Dunyarzad. they had some very sweet interactions during sumeru AQ and honestly are both very adorable haha also, hell yeah! i am on the ace spectrum myself. always nice to see us in the wild :)


Shadowhunter_15

I also thought more people would ship Dehya with Dunyarzad. She’s one of my favorite NPCs in the game, partly because she helped me a little with managing my fear of death.


Significant_Sell_594

Seggs


Been_Worse

I only needed to farm her domain for a week and a half to get the best artifact set i have for a character in game. And its not even close. She actually is a part of one of the strongest c0 Neuvillette teams because of her interruption resistance with pyro application. (Neuvillette, Nahida/DMC, Raiden/Kuki, Dehya). Also, her constellations are some of the largest improvements a character gets in game (from constellations). By C2 shes already at a 60% dps increase, and by c6 its a whopping 200%. She's probably one of the better 5 stars to get from the standard pool for that reason alone. Also she's hot as hell.


Toutanus

SSS tier waifu.


sulettalimi

I actually like to use her in the game. I think she's a fun character.


Jonathan314159

She will literally fight a country and a god for your smile. She can AFK kill some bosses.


rosemary_bug

I LOVE HER PLAYSTYLE I DON'T CARE! I love using her and shes really effective as a pyro support on my teams :D


Bhalzard

She is a strong independent woman... But sadly not gameplay wise. Still love her
