Genshin Impact Dahlia Best Build: Weapons, Artifacts, and Team Comps

Dahlia in Genshin Impact is a 4-star playable character who wields a Sword. He was released in the 5.7 update and is the title’s first shielder from the Hydro element. Although his elemental application isn’t particularly effective, he can enhance his teammates’ survivability. This makes him a decent support choice in teams consisting of Skirk and some other damage dealers. Dahlia is also quite simple to build and does not require much investment to fulfill its role effectively. Here is Dahlia’s best build in Genshin Impact, suitable weapons, artifact sets, team compositions, and more.

Best Support Build for Dahlia in Genshin Impact

Rarity	4-star
Element	Hydro
Weapon Type	Sword
Strengths	• Protects teammates with Hydro shield and increases attack speed. • Easy to build and F2P friendly. • Able to revive a fallen character at C6.
Weaknesses	• Cannot apply Hydro off-field. • Shield is the only use case at C0.

Dahlia is Genshin Impact’s first Hydro shielder who also provides attack speed buffs to his teammates via his Elemental Burst. All you must do is cast his Burst, and your active character will get protected by a Hydro shield, which has higher effectiveness against incoming Hydro DMG. This shield also gets refreshed every time a character performs four consecutive Normal Attacks or triggers the Frozen elemental reaction. Apart from that, Dahlia provides the active character with an attack speed buff after using his Burst.

Considering Dahlia’s Elemental Burst is his most important ability, it is recommended you stack enough Energy Recharge on him to use it comfortably. Additionally, you should note that his shield’s strength is based on his max HP, so focus on increasing that too.

As mentioned above, Dahlia’s Elemental Burst is the focus of his kit. Therefore, it is ideal to upgrade it first. Afterward, you can opt to level up his Elemental Skill, which either deals Hydro DMG to enemies or bounces allies into the sky. When it comes to Normal Attacks, they aren’t useful, and you can forgo them.
