5 reasons why Genshin Impact community is unhappy with Dehya's abilities

sportskeeda.com:

Genshin Impact will release its latest 3.5 version on March 1, along with the newest Pyro character, Dehya. Thanks to her active role in Sumeru's Archon Quest, she became a prevalent character among fans. Before the release of v3.4, HoYoverse officially announced her as a playable unit for the upcoming update, which made fans look forward to pulling her.

However, as several leaks surfaced within the Genshin Impact community revealing her kit and other information, fans are now skeptical about her worth as a character. This article will talk about some of the reasons why so many players are upset with her abilities.

Dehya's Elemental Burst is called Leonine Bite. Upon casting it, she enters the Blazing Lioness state and increases her resistance to interruption. In this state, she will automatically deliver a barrage of punches infused with Pyro to her enemies, which means a player cannot fully control her while her burst is active.

In cases with multiple enemies, such as Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss, Dehya may end up attacking smaller mobs and leaving the bigger enemies untouched, essentially wasting her Elemental Burst.

Although the Pyro mercenary can trigger Elemental Reactions, her Elemental Burst makes her incompatible with other Genshin Impact characters like Xingqiu and Yelan. When Dehya casts her Leonine Bite and enters the Blazing Lioness state, her Elemental Skill, Normal Attack, Charged Attack, and Plunging Attack are replaced by the Roaring Barrage.

It essentially means that she will not be able to fulfill the conditions required to trigger Xingqiu and Yelan's coordinated attacks. As such, it makes her very incompatible with them, leaving very few options for her to trigger vapourize reactions when she is on-field.
