Dehya Build Guide (Patch 3.5)

Dehya’s Role and Skills

Dehya is a pyro character released in the 3.5 patch. Her role is primarily as a support and utility character but can also be built for Burst DPS though not recommended. Dehya’s Elemental Skill (E) applies a totem on field that will unleash a coordinated attack onto enemies when they take damage similar to Raiden’s E. Meanwhile her Burst (Q) puts her in an enrage state where she will continuously deal punches until its duration ends. She will be unable to use her NA or E in this state.

How To Build Dehya

Early testing suggest that Dehya should only be built as a support or utility role. Her multipliers for her Burst (Q) are simply too low to justify going into a Burst DPS, at least meta wise. Nevertheless, I’ve included Dehya’s Burst DPS guide in case anyone is looking to test her out.

Another off-meta build is to build her for Burning reaction. They way her E works suggest that Dehya should be a competent off-field pyro applicator making this build theoretically possible. However because of how weak Burning is as a reaction and the fact that none of her kit gives EM, this is quite a copium build to say the least.

Artifact set

Tenacity of Millelith (4): The coordinated damage from Dehya’s E makes her a decent holder for ToTM set. This gives her an extra utility to buff her team ATK on top of being a bruiser for her team.
Emblem of Severed Fate (4): If you’re building her for Burst DPS this set should be her BiS simply because she benefits from the +20% ER buff and also since the punches from her Q is considered as Burst its damage would be buffed.
Gilded Dreams (4): Burgeon and Burning Dehya will utilize this set due to its high EM boost.

Weapon

Beacon of the Reed Sea (5✩): Provides ATK and HP buff while also working off-field for the character. Dehya’s signature weapon is looking to be useful for her and other claymore characters as well!
Wolf’s Gravestone (5✩): Although Dehya benefits from HP stat, an ATK stat should provide 3x more value in terms of her damage making this a decent choice.
Favonius Greatsword (4✩): This is looking to be the go to weapon for most players as she greatly benefits from the ER stat while the energy orb generation can provide her with more utility to the team.
