Why are people skipping on Dehya? Recently Hoyoverse made a special program for version 3.5 announcing a lot of important details. There will be a new archon quest and it will be quite interesting to play. In addition, there will be two new characters featuring Dehya and Mika. Dehya is a 5-star pyro claymore while Mika is a 4-star cryo polearm user. Dehya will be a pyro DPS character. Contrary to Mika who will be physical support. Back to the main topic why are people skipping on Dehya? Is Dehya bad?
Why are people skipping on Dehya?
Not compatible with Xinqiu and Yelan
The first thing to note on why are people skipping on Dehya is due to incompatibility with those two. Xinqiu and Yelan are two of the best hydro applicators on vaporize team. Dehya should be a good fit for them due to her pyro vision. However, according to the Genshin Impact leaks Yelan and Xingqiu won’t launch their combined assaults in response to Dehya’s Flame-Mane First and Incineration Dive Kick maneuvers. Indeed, it is a waste since those attacks are the key feature in high-tier vaporize compositions. The cause appears to be related to the fact that Dehya’s elemental burst hits are regarded as burst strikes.
Hard to build
If you want to make Dehya your main DPS you have to consider a lot of things. Is Dehya bad? Dehya’s maximum HP determines how much damage she can deal with. Conversely, all of her talents only scale in accordance with her ATK. Players can thus choose between ATK% sands with HP sub-stats or ATK% sands with ATK sub-stats and strive to obtain them in other artifact pieces. Not only that you must also consider getting critical damage and critical rate balance to deal high damage. Without a doubt, it will take some time to get the perfect artifact set for Dehya due to the RNG system.
Not really f2p friendly?
As mentioned earlier Dehya scales with HP to deal damage and her talent scale with ATK. Therefore, in order to fully maximize her damage you will probably need her signature weapon. Desert Watch claymore gives you a 33.1% critical rate and the weapon’s passive suits with Dehya skill and elemental burst. Her first constellation increased her max HP by 20% and her attacks also increase at a certain percentage. Undoubtedly, you need to spend a bit to maximize her full potential. Additionally, you would also need strong units like Ayato, Candance, and Kokomi to apply hydro since Xinqiu and Yelan would not work on her.
Her kits are not that good
Dehya is supposed to be a strong DPS but her kit does not seem like it compared to other DPS. Her scaling is quite low and her skill and burst seem unrelated. On the other hand, Eula’s and Yae Miko’s skill cooldown will reset when using their burst, unlike Dehya. Furthermore, her cooldown is very long which could not help to apply pyro consistently. In the last sentence, it is said that her kit won’t be impacted by the defense in any manner and that it isn’t focused on the burning response brought on by pyro and dendro.
Going to the standard banner.
This is probably the ultimate reason why people would skip her. Genshin Impact announced that Dehya will be on the standard banner starting version 3.6. Hence people would think why would they pull for her since she will be available anytime on the standard banner.
Should you skip her?
Personally, you should try her trial first when she is available soon. Don’t make the same mistakes as when Kokomi was first released. Kokomi’s attacks could not crit and many people would criticize her but in the end, she ended up being the most used in the spiral abyss. Since Kokomi works so well in the permanent freeze composition and she heals all her teammates well. Think wisely although she will be in the standard banners it would not guarantee you to get her. This is because of the gacha system and there other 5-star characters and weapons in the banner as well.
