HP%

Dahlia's shield absorbs damage; when broken, overflow damage hits the active character before a new shield is granted via a Benison stack.
Her A4 passive maximum benefit is reached at 40,000 HP.

Dahlia provides shielding and an ATK SPD increase to shielded characters. Both scale with HP%. Focus on Energy Recharge to use Burst reliably, then HP% to amplify support.

Regarding Weapon choices:
Peak Patrol Song & Freedom-Sworn offer team buffs but no direct stat help. Use only if your team can trigger their passives and you meet Energy Recharge and HP% thresholds.

Outfits

Pristine Prayers

Pristine Prayers

Pristine Prayers icon
Default

Dahlia's outfit. Rather than the solemn, constricting robes of the church, the lively Deacon Dahlia prefers light clothing. Indeed, piety is a quality favored by the gods, but Barbatos is not the God of Winds and Freedom for naught. Dahlia is sure that his fashion sense would earn the beneficent Anemo Archon's approval!
