Genshin Impact has officially unveiled Dahlia as a 4-star Hydro Sword, set to debut alongside Skirk in Version 5.7. Dahlia's journey to become a playable character in Genshin Impact has been longer than most. He was first mentioned during Rosaria's drip marketing in Version 1.3, but fans have been aware of his playable status since the initial wave of Fontaine leaks two years ago. While his design changed somewhat, it's fair to say that the community had high expectations for Dahlia as the second Mondstadt character since Version 1.5.
Unfortunately, first impressions of Dahlia's ability kit in Genshin Impact left many players disappointed. Whereas Mika carved a niche for himself as a valuable healer in Eula and Wriothesley's teams, Dahlia seems to struggle with finding an identity. His off-field Hydro application is subpar, his Shield strength is weak, his energy cost is intense, and his Attack Speed buff isn't any better than what Mika already provides. While ability kits can change during beta testing, it's fair to say that Genshin Impact fans expected more from Dahlia.
