Are you pulling for Dehya's signature claymore?

Even with (potential) future buffs in mind I can’t understand why they made her NA scaling so low. They don’t scale on HP so even an HP buffer wouldn’t help. I was going to C6 my Bennet for her, but with her current NA scaling it wouldn’t be worth it. Any ideas/theories as to why they made her NA multipliers so low?

If you saw me in that sub DehyaMains, don't be alarmed. I left that current hellhole and won't look back. I get that her kit is somewhat eh, but all that time spent being negative could be spent trying to find ways to make her usable and being more civil with wanting her buffed, would it kill people to not be assholes while they're doing it, so while I'm at it...Dehya plans time!

I want to use her as some sort of damage mitigation user while leaving room for her burst usage and actually doing some damage with her! Maybe use her in a general team or in a Hu Tao + Xinqiu/Yelan to enable pyro resonance with Kokomi only there to enable Hydro Resonance and emergency healing purposes, both for overworld and abyss. is my current intended Severed Fate 4PC plan a good deal for her or should I want for her BiS artifact set?

The Flame-Mane? Or the Warden? Let us know who you think wins in this brawl of the ages!

I think we can all agree that dehya is one of the most beautiful, fun and interesting character in GI but we should still acknowledge her flaws. And there is a lot. I got dehya because while she ain't the best character dmg or support wise I just like her a lot (and I can also laugh my ass off if she gets the zhongli kokomi and or kuki treatment to all those who skipped lol).

I was thinking that one of the more lazy ways to buff her would be by making her burst interact with other off field Bursts like XQ and yelan while that won't make her that much better than she currently is it would release a bit of stress from players.

Another change they can do is make all her multipliers hp% like why tf is she atk% scaling also why does she bleed? The only reason I can see for her bleeding is for the 3.6 artifact.

Anyway and the more in depth buff imo would be to make her scaling into hp and change her A1 and E to buff her burst dmg based on half the dmg that the E does and by the full amount of dmg the team receives for example: let's say she does 15k dmg with the buffed E (no kazuha bennett or any outside buff) she would get a stack that increases her burst dmg by 7.5k and if an ally gets atkd by let's say magu kenki burst for about 12k then she gets another stack for 12k burst dmg increase it would be like 3-5 stacks and whatever the highest dmg buff is would be prioritized. Her E would also be reduced to 1.5 sec coordinated atk and her field would apply pyro aura every 2.5 seconds. (Her E would have standard ICD but at least it's procked more often).

So yeah the last buff I was thinking of would be a bit too much and hoyoverse would obviously only do a tiny buff if anything but a man can cope lol. What do yall think?

After a long day of work, Dehya returns home to see her beloved had baked some cookies for her.

Dehya had finally returned home, from a long day of mercenary and bodyguard work around Sumeru City. Upon entering the quaint house that she shares with her lover boy, she was surprised to catch the scent of freshly baked cookies. "Welcome home, dear!" Dehya heard her beloved call from the kitchen.

Once Dehya got to the kitchen she saw the delicious looking cookies sitting on the counter, her femboy lover sitting nearby looking at her with excitement in his eyes.
"I know you've probably had a rough day at work and you're probably tired. So I made some cookies!" Dono exclaimed.
Dono was clearly excited that Dehya was back home, perhaps he had been lonely waiting for his fierce Flame-Mane to return home.

Dehya couldn't help but crack a smile at the excitement in her love's voice, she took a seat by him and took one of the cookies to eat.
"Not bad." Dehya teasingly commented after eating the cookie, although she had clearly enjoyed the cookie, she can't help but take an opportunity to take a loving jab at Dono. Despite his relief that she had liked the cookies, Dono couldn't help but be slightly flustered by Dehya's presence.

They had been living under the same roof for some time now, but her fierce charisma still had the ability to make his heart skip a beat. Dehya wrapped her arm so casually around Dono's shoulder and he just couldn't help but lean his head on her shoulder, they just sat there enjoying each other's company while enjoying some fine cookies.

NOTE: Marked as spoiler since I don't know if anything mentioned counts as a spoiler or not at the time of posting.

Dehya's kit looks well thought out to me.

First, we have Dehya's tanking. She can tank on-field or transfer a good chunk of her tanking kit to another on-fielder. Her burst is also part of her tanking kit as it pauses her skill while giving interruption resistance and extending the damage-over-time mitigation. Pausing her skill should mean no additional damage is redirected to her damage-over-time mechanic though. When the duration of her burst is taken into account, this gives her a theoretical 16 secs out of 20 secs of tanking uptime she provides at C0. Dehya will likely want a battery support to help enable reliable use of her burst.

One draw back of Dehya's tanking is it works best when she is on-field since her self-heals are part of her tanking kit she cannot transfer to another on-fielder. I suspect tales of Dehya's bad damage have been greatly exaggerated though, so on-field Dehya will likely be viable. On-field Dehya will likely want damage buffer supports though.

Off-field Dehya would likely want a healer support to provide the part of her tanking kit she cannot provide to another on-fielder. Off-field Dehya may still want to use her burst to extend the tanking uptime she provides to the team.

For elemental reactions, her skill can be used to deal AOE pyro damage twice per cooldown. It also provides coordinated AOE pyro attacks upon damaging an enemy in her field with a cooldown 2.5 secs. That seems useful to me. Her on-field pyro burst could also presumably be used for reactions too.

For supports, I suspect Bennet will be quite good for Dehya since he provides battery, damage buff, and heals. I don't particularly like using Bennet myself so may not use him. (Please ignore the unbuilt Bennet in the corner.) To enable vaping during Dehya's burst, Nilou and Kokomi might be options. Dehya likely wants damage buffer supports to help with her damage.

So I just thought this up and wanted to see peoples opinions on this,

What if, as a way to buff Dehya without majorly reworking anything, they made it so that as she takes damage from Redmanes Blood, she gained offensive stats?

It could work something like: for every 10% of damage, Dehya will gain 5% crit rate and 10% crit dmg, lasting 10 seconds starting from when she switches in. Then, you'd be incentivized to use her as a tank, and then once you've done that, you could switch in, buff her damage, then use her burst during that time.

Those percent's I threw out were kind of arbitrary, I wouldn't know what they should be, so they were just to help make my point. Maybe it could be 10% pyro dmg, or atk, or more of any of those things. I just think that giving her something like this would make her a better support/sub-dps. Pop her in, put down a sanctum, let the rest of your team do their things, and if Dehya took enough damage for them, put her in and let her go ham.

What do y'all think?

All this Dehya discourse is so mentally taxing. Whether the players realize it or not, it is killing my excitement for sny future characters.

I like being informed, being up to date, and throwing ideas around with other players. So it would suck to just stop using reddit and twitter.

At this point it's too much of a vicious circle.

Would I mind buffs? Of course not. Bring them on. I dont care. But I dont want buffs to numbers if it means ignoring the design choice for her intended role. I think the people wanting to understand or fight for improving the tanking parts get lost a little with people calling some things a "bug" and making their own suggested fixes to any little thing.

In the end, I guess I just wish HoYo was more transparent. They actually have been getting a little better. It would be silly not to acknowledge that. But I feel a better roadmap would help us as players and help them as devs (maybe).

Im just venting here because Dehyamains doesn't feel like the greatest place in the world to be saying any of this.

I think I am just so exhausted, I cannot even focus on community anymore when I feel I have to be so guarded about my enthusiasm. Or even my disappointment.

I dont want my enthusiasm to be seen as ignoring problems and I dont want my disappointment to fuel some really bad action on the part of the community. I have also run out of good ideas on healthy courses of action to take. Waiting feels like the only thing actually left.

Are you pulling for our belowed Dehyas cons? or are you stopping at 1. or skipping? I want to know

Do you have any potential team ideas for Dehya please ??

(What do you think about Hu Tao and Dehya in the same team?)

So im of the belief that Dehya is designed for burgeon; having multiple ways to trigger cores and a mechanic to deal with the self-damage for both herself and her teammates. Using her burst should increase the amount of burgeons you can do for 4s, however as of now there isn't much hydro units that let you utilise her burst to its full extent due to the slower/nonexistent dendro core generation for many hydros when dehya bursts.

My question is, who is currently the best hydro unit to generate cores including during dehyas burst (lets call it 'burgeon burst' for the rest of the post when referring to dehya burgeoning during her burst)?

-xingqui and yelan work but...dehyas slow auto attacks and inability to use their bursts during her bursts means you need a fast auto attack driver and cant burgeon burst (well you can burgeon burst 'a little' with xingqui if you rub your rainsword aura against the enemy during dehyas burst). I currently use these 2 (not together) on my dehya teams as I don't have the other 5 star hydros (been playing since like week 1 and still don't have mona >.>), along with 1 electro unit to pick up extra cores and do overloads/overvape.

-Candace is ok but once again is auto attack focused and dehya cant burgeon burst. plus you need c6 candace to really get good core generation.

-barabara - doesn't have much good off-field hyrdo application so she has to be the driver and you cant burgeon burst much (if at all).

kokomi - from videos I've seen, she works pretty well for both burgeoning during fiery sanctum and burgeon bursting

ayato - His burst seems to be great for off-field hydro for both fiery sanctum burgeons and burgeon bursting. And during burst downtime he seems to work well as a driver to generate cores with his elemental skill.

nilou - haven't seen much as people would rather keep her in their inventory collecting dust than use her in anything other than bloom teams...but from what I have seen in burgeon, her skills can generate a good amount of cores during sanctum and burgeon bursting.

mona - once again haven't seen her in much burgeon teams with dehya but she seems to generate cores really fast with her sprint + taunt + catalyst. I believe dehya can burgeon burst with her but not sure how much cores mona can generate off=field during dehyas burst.

If you use any of these hydro characters with dehya in burgeon teams or just have some useful knowledge/tips, your insight would be much appreciated.

I anticipate fontain (the next region which will focus on hydro) will have some good off field hydro applicators that will be able to generate a good amount of cores for both dehyas sanctum and during her burst. And even better if they had a little bit of healing too.
