While there are heaps of characters to fawn over in Sumeru, Genshin Impact’s Dehya certainly doesn’t intend on getting lost in the fold. Known as the ‘Flame-Mane’, Dehya works as a mercenary in the Eremites faction, and boy, is she good at it – she’s known all over Sumeru and is held in very high regard.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Dehya guide and build:
What’s the best Genshin Impact Dehya build?
Dehya, the five-star claymore wielder, uses the pyro element in her kit.
| Best weapon | Beacon of the Reed Sea |
| Weapon substitutes | Wolf’s Gravestone, Favonius Greatsword |
| Best artifact set | Crimson Witch of Flames and Tenacity of the Millelith |
| Main stats | Sands – HP/attack Goblet – Pyro damage bonus Circlet – HP/attack |
| Sub stats | Attack, HP, crit rate/damage |
It’s, unfortunately, no secret that Dehya isn’t the powerful unit we’d hoped for, but with some work (and constellations), she can be a helpful party member. Dehya is capable of dealing off-field pyro damage and unleashing powerful melee attack strings. Any off-field pyro is welcome given that there are very limited options to provide this in a team comp.
Her best weapon is Beacon of the Reed Sea, and the best artifacts to equip her with are Tenacity of the Millelith and Crimson Witch of Flames. The main meat of Dehya’s kit goes towards mitigating damage for other party members by taking it herself, but you can use her as a main damage dealer if you wish.
How do I use Dehya?
As for her exact role, Dehya is a little confusing. Dehya fits a main DPS slot and excels most when you pair her up with strong buffer and support characters, especially when her burst is active. She’s not really made for a pyro application role and is more of a tanky damage dealer, but her elemental skill places a pyro-infused AoE on the ground, aiding elemental reactions.
What are the best Dehya weapons?
Dehya’s signature weapon is Beacon of the Reed Sea and is definitely her best-in-slot. It’s tailored around her kit and therefore is Dehya’s overall best weapon, though there are other options that work just as well.
The Serpent Spine, especially at R5, is an extremely well-rounded weapon and a great option for most claymore wielders. With its high crit rate and damage output, it is a solid choice for Dehya. Aside from that, Wolf’s Gravestone is also a good option, as the dramatic attack boost it offers should also increase the pyro damage dealt by her Fiery Sanctum.
| Beacon of the Reed Sea | Stat: Crit rate Skill: Increases Dehya’s attack by 20% for eight seconds after her elemental skill hits an opponent. If she takes damage, her attack increases by 20% for eight seconds. These two effects can trigger even when she’s not on the field. When she isn’t protected by a shield, Dehya’s max HP increases by 32% | Chronicled Wish banner |
| Redhorn Stonethresher | Stat: Increases crit damage Skill: Increases Dehya’s defense by 28%. Her normal and charged attack damage increases by 40% of her total defense stat | Weapon banner |
| Wolf’s Gravestone | Stat: Attack Skill: Increases Dehya’s attack by 20%. On hit, attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ attack by 40% for 12 seconds. This can only occur once every 30 seconds | Standard and Chronicled Wish banner |
| Favonius Greatsword | Stat: Energy recharge Skill: Dehya’s crit hits have a 60% chance of generating an elemental orb. This orb then regenerates six energy for her once she picks it up. This can only happen once every 12 seconds | Standard banner |
| Portable Power Saw | Stat: Increases HP Skill: When Dehya receives healing, she gains a Stoic Symbol for 30 seconds. She can hold three at any time. Using her elemental skill or burst uses these Symbols and grants her the Roused effect for ten seconds. Each Symbol grants her 40 elemental mastery and two energy | Weapon banner |
What are the best Dehya artifacts?
Dehya’s kit takes a little getting used to, so her ‘best’ artifacts can cause some confusion. Two pieces of Crimson Witch of Flames and two pieces of Tenacity of the Millelith are generally the best choices for her, as
