Genshin Impact’s 3.5 beta is now live and according to leaks, there are two new characters coming to the new patch. Dehya, who has been a part of previous Archon quests is finally making her entry to the game as a playable 5-star Pyro claymore user. The other character debuting in 3.4 is Mika, who is part of Eula’s reconnaissance squad.
We saw Mika before during the Windblume festival and he will join the playable roster as a 4-star Cryo character designed to support Physical units. Here is a closer look at Dehya, who is the first 5-star Pyro character since Yoimiya who released back in 2021. All information available about Dehya is based on the current and Dehya’s abilities are subject to change as Hoyoverse continues to balance the character ahead of her launch. Players should wait for the official 3.5 livestream which will take place in February for an official confirmation of the leaks.
Genshin Impact 3.5 Leaks – Dehya Character Overview and Skills
Dehya is designed to be a Pyro DPS with sub-DPS / off-field capabilities. Her Skill (E) can apply Pyro even when she is not on the field while her Ultimate allows her to deal rapid Pyro damage using her fists. Here is a breakdown of her talents:
E. Molten Inferno (Skill)
Indomitable Flame
This skill will be unleashed should there be no Fiery Sanctum created by Dehya hersslf present at the time. Deals AoE Pyro DMG, and creates a field known as Fiery Sanctum.
Ranging Flame
This skill will be unleashed should a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself already exist.
Dehya will perform a leaping attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG before recreating a Fiery Sanctum field at her new position. A Fiery Sanctum field created this way will inherit the original duration of the previous field. Only 1 Ranging Flame can be used throughout a single Fiery Sanctum field’s duration.
Fiery Sanctum
When an opponent within a Fiery Sanctum field takes DMG, the field will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG to them. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5s.
Active characters within this field have their resistance to interruption increased, and when such characters take DMG, a portion of that damage will be mitigated and flow into Redmane’s Blood. Dehya will then take this DMG over 10s. When the mitigated DMG stored by Redmane’s Blood reaches or goes over a certain percentage of Dehya’s Max HP, she will stop mitigating DMG in this way. Only 1 Fiery Sanctum created by Dehya herself can exist at the same time.
Q. Lioness’ Bite (Ultimate)
Unleashing her burning anger and casting her blade aside like an inconvenience, Dehya enters the Blazing Lioness state and gains resistance to interruption.
In this state, Dehya will automatically and continuously unleash the Flame-Mane’s Fists, dealing Pyro DMG, and when its duration ends, she will unleash an Incineration Drive kick, dealing AoE Pyro DMG.
In this state, her Normal Attacks will be replaced by Roaring Barrage. Unleashing Roaring Barrage within 0.4 after each Flame-Mane’s Fist strike will increase the trigger speed of the next Flame-Mane’s Fist strike.
If a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya’s own Elemental Skill, Molten Inferno, exists when this ability is unleashed, Dehya will retrieve it, and then create another field once Blazing Lioness’ duration expires. This field will then take on the retrieved field’s duration at the moment of its retrieval.
