Dehya’s abilities in Genshin Impact

- Charged Attack: Dehya continuously drains stamina to move forward while slashing, unleashing a powerful blow at the end of the Charged Attack.
- Plunging Attack: Dehya plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, dealing normal AoE damage to all nearby enemies upon impact.
Dehya Elemental Skill
Dehya’s elemental skill is “Molten Inferno”, Dehya creates a “Fiery Sanctum” field while at the same time unleashing a Pyro AoE attack at the casting location.
- This ability stays active even if you switch out the active character.
- Feiry Sanctum will unleash a wave of Pyro damage within its range when an enemy takes DMG within the field.
- Active characters standing in this field have increased knockback resistance, and a portion of the damage they take will be redirected to Dehya over a period of time.
- Only one Fiery Sanctum can exist, it can be moved to a different location if Dehya recasts this ability before the field expires.
Dehya Elemental Burst
Dehya enters the “Blazing Lioness” state, casting aside her weapon and using her martial arts to deliver considerable Pyro DMG. When the duration of this burst ends Dehya kicks the earth underneath her causing an AoE Pyro explosion.
Dehya Constellations

Best Artifacts for Dehya in Genshin Impact
The best Dehya Artifact set should increase her damage potential.
The best Dehya build uses the four-piece Vourukasha’s Glow set. This will help her deal the most damage from her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.

Alternatively, Wolf’s Gravestone can be used in its place. With plenty of attack in its base stats and an ability that only doubles down on it, this deadly Claymore can give her a huge amount of damage.
If you don’t have any 5-star options, you can also use the 4-star Claymore Serpent Spine.

| Beacon of the Reed Sea | After an Elemental Skill hits an opponent, your ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s. After you take DMG, your ATK will be increased by 20% for 8s.

Dehya Talent Level-Up and Ascension Materials
Dehya’s Talent and Ascension materials can be found in the Sumeru Desert, and while players can wander there from the start of the game we have some bad news. In order to level up and Ascend Dehya, you’ll likely need to fight the Shouki No Kami The Prodigal – which is accessible only after completing the Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises”.
This means Travelers will need to complete Mondstadt’s, Liuye’s, Inazuma’s, and finally Summeru’s questlines. Meanwhile, Travelers will also need to farm plenty of Sand Grease Pupa, and defeat plenty of Eremites that will drop Rich Red Brocade and other materials.
As Dehya excels at dealing damage, you’ll want to max out her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst first before moving on to her Normal and Charged attacks.

Dehya Trailer in Genshin Impact
An official trailer for Dehya entitled “Dehya: Passion of the Burning Sands” was released on the Genshin Impact YouTube channel on March 1, 2023, the day she was introduced into the game. The video showcases her combat moves and fiery abilities.
Best Dehya team comp
The best Dehya team comp utilizes Nahida, Kokomi, and Yelan. The basic idea is that Dehya will be the main DPS, Nahida as a Sub-DPS, Kokomi as a healer, and Yelan for Support and Hydro applications.
Yelan and her burst will provide Dehya with Hydro applications during her normal attacks, which will trigger elemental reactions, often providing a nice boost to the overall DPS. Nahida is there for the Dendro application, which will result in Dendro cores and more damage.
Currently, Dendro is seen as the strongest element with the most flexibility, utility, and potential damage, all depending on how you apply it in your team and in each battle. Moving on we have Kokomi providing even more Hydro applications for elemental reactions with Dehya’s Pyro and Nahida’s Dendro.
Dehya may not exactly be the best damage dealer in Genshin Impact, but this team comp does highlight her effectiveness. And that’s about everything when it comes to teams, weapons, and the best Artifacts for Dehya in Genshin Impact.
That’s everything you need to know about creating the best Dehya build in Genshin Impact, including the Artifacts, weapons and Ascension Materials to use.
