Why Genshin Impact’s Newest Character Has the Community Up in Arms

Since its announcement in January, fans of HoyoVerse’s open-world RPG Genshin Impact have been waiting for the game’s newest playable character, Dehya. Unfortunately, she hasn’t quite lived up to the expectations of the players.

Yesterday, Dehya debuted as a playable character with the release of version 3.5 of Genshin. Despite her 5-star status, the Pyro wielding her Claymore has the lowest Dehya attack stats in the game (even lower than many of her 4-star opponents) and succeeds. requires a rather specialized build and team composition.

Of course, the Genshin Impact community has this in mind — Dehya’s dedicated subreddit now filled with many players Email HoyoVerse seek a better skill set, etc. provide build advice Hopefully Dehya will be worth it. Some players who make other characters main with unbalanced kits, expressed condolences and solidarity shown.

Before Dehya’s unfortunate introduction to the world of Teyvat, we gave Genshin Impact a 9 in our 2020 review, praising its tightly packed open world and element-based combat.
