A recent leak in the Genshin Impact community has revealed Dahlia's new model, who is set to debut in the current Archon Quest before becoming playable in Version 5.7. Dahlia was initially discovered by the community during the first wave of Fontaine leaks, but it took two years until he was officially unveiled by the developers in the Version 5.6 trailer. It's clear that Genshin Impact is preparing something special for Version 5.6, as the upcoming patch will take players back to Mondstadt to conclude a storyline that's been built up for years.
Albedo, Venti, and Dahlia seem to lie at the center of this storyline, with the latter presiding over Albedo's trial as one of its judges. From a narrative standpoint, Dahlia's role remains a mystery. As for his gameplay, players can expect Dahlia in Genshin Impact to be a 4-Star Hydro Sword user. There are many possible ways for his ability kit to go, and most notably, Hydro still lacks a proper Shield character, assuming Lan Yan's elemental absorption doesn't count. However, it won't be until the Version 5.7 beta that players will be able to see Dahlia in action.
