Genshin Impacthas officially revealed its character teaser for the upcoming five-star Pyro user Dehya whose release has been confirmed in the recent Special Program event for update 3.5. Dehya won’t be the only new character to arrive in the upcoming update as HoYoverse revealed a new Cryo user named Mika.
Going by HoYoverse’s usual update schedule, players can expectGenshin Impactversion 3.5 to arrive around March 1, which is when the current Hu Tao and Yelan banner is scheduled to expire. The live stream also confirmed that the next update will host the annual Windblume Festival which means that Travelers are going back to Mondstadt, the first region that was introduced to the game.

Genshin Impact’s official YouTube channel has revealed the character teaser for their upcoming five-star character Dehya. Even though the story is portrayed as a skillful fighter that has no mercy for her enemies, the new teaser shows a much softer side of her character. She belongs to the Eremites which is a group of mercenaries who hail from Sumeru’s deserts. Her official presentation duringthe recent 3.5 Special Programconfirmed that Dehya will be a new DPS character who can fit multiple team compositions. A recent video leak has confirmed that Dehya can work well in the popular Vaporize party.
Dehya’s Elemental Skill is called Molten Infernoand it allows her to deal AoE damage while creating the Fiery Sanctum field. Opponents that are attacked within the field will receive additional damage. The field’s effect will also increase every active character’s resistance to interruption. The field stays active even if Dehya gets swapped out which means that she could have decent sub-DPS capabilities.
Leonine Bite, which is Dehya’s Elemental Burst, will cause her to drop her claymore and switch to hand-to-hand combat. For a couple of seconds, each of hernext Normal Attacks will deal massive amounts of Pyro damagewithin a small area. At the end of this burst, Dehya will unleash an attack named Incineration Drive that deals additional AoE Pyro damage and relocate the Fiery Sanctum field.
Even though the new five-star character seems like a decent Pyro DPS, some players may skip her banner since HoYoverse confirmed thatDehya will join the Standard Banner once 3.5 ends. This means that it will be almost impossible to acquire all of her constellation levels after 3.6 arrives since it’s highly unlikely that Dehya will get a re-run in the future.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
