Dehya's Elemental Burst cannot trigger effects that trigger on normal attack animations or damage (e.g. Xingqiu, Beidou).
At C1, HP% becomes a viable stat for Dehya competing with ATK% stats while providing survivability. Additionally, 5-star weapon stat sticks can be worse than some 4-star options as their high Base ATK stats matter less.

Dehya as a support character is not reliant on her Elemental Burst to support the team as a damage tank.
This is because Dehya's kit provides consistent damage reduction and healing to the team through her Elemental Skill and passive talents, making her a reliable support character even without relying on her Elemental Burst.

Since Dehya does not need her Elemental Burst to trigger reactions, she doesn't need to build Energy Recharge.
This allows for more flexibility in her build, as she can focus on other stats such as Attack and Defense to increase her overall damage output.
When building Dehya, consider the following:

Focus on Attack and Defense to increase her damage output
Use Artifact sets that provide bonus effects such as increased Pyro damage
Choose a Weapon that complements her playstyle and provides a high 20% or higher crit rate

Dehya can be played in three different roles: On Field DPS, Support, and Reaction DPS.
On Field DPS Dehya relies on using her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst to do damage. Regarding Weapon Choice:

Serpent Spine: Dehya has a hard time keeping up this weapon's stacks. At R5, this weapon can perform better than Wolf's Gravestone.
Mailed Flower: This weapon is only useful in Melt or Vaporize teams and should not be considered otherwise.
Rainslasher: Only useful in Vaporize teams. At R5, this weapon performs similar to Redhorn Stonethresher.
Tidal Shadow: Assumes Dehya is being healed.
Talking Stick: Assumes Dehya is affected by Pyro. At R5, this weapon performs better than Tidal Shadow R5.
A Thousand Blazing Suns: As Dehya needs to place her Skill at the very start of the rotation to not suffer from very high Energy Recharge requirements, she often cannot have this weapon's passive active during her Burst. In teams where 10 seconds pass between her Skill and Burst use, this weapon performs similar to Redhorn Stonethresher.
Akuoumaru: At R5, this weapon performs better than Wolf's Gravestone.

Regarding Artifact sets:

Unfinished Reverie (4): This is Dehya's best set if played in a team with Burning present.
Marechaussee Hunter (4): With Furina on the team, this set performs similar to or better than Emblem of Severed Fate (4), depending on Dehya's Energy Recharge requirement.

Support Dehya uses her Skill to do passive damage and apply Pyro, while providing the team with interruption resistance and tank damage. Regarding Weapon Choice:

Sacrificial Greatsword R5: For some teams, this weapon can be crucial to enable shorter rotation times.

Regarding Artifact sets:

Instructor (4): A useful set if the team appreciates Elemental Mastery.
Deepwood Memories (4): This set is only useful in teams that are focused on Dendro damage, including Bloom-based teams.

Reaction DPS Dehya uses her Skill to trigger reactions like Overload or Burgeon while off field. Regarding Weapon Choice:

Sacrificial Greatsword R5: For some teams, this weapon can be crucial to enable shorter rotation times.

Best Dehya Teams

Dehya Skills

Sandstorm Assault

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes using her Claymore and her martial arts.

Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Molten Inferno

Walk this fiery ordeal with me and purge all impurity, just as a beast of flames that must descend from the blaze.

This art of Dehya's own invention changes its method of use depending on the combat situation.

Indomitable Flame
This skill will be unleashed should there be no Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself present at the time.
Deals AoE Pyro DMG, and creates a field known as Fiery Sanctum.

Ranging Flame
This skill will be unleashed should a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself already exist.
Dehya will perform a leaping attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG before recreating a Fiery Sanctum field at her new position.
A Fiery Sanctum field created this way will inherit the remaining duration of the previous field.

Ranging Flame can be used only once throughout a single Fiery Sanctum field's duration.

Fiery Sanctum
When an opponent within a Fiery Sanctum field takes DMG, the field will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG to them based on Dehya's ATK and Max HP. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5s.
Active characters within this field have their resistance to interruption increased, and when such characters take DMG, a portion of that damage will be mitigated and flow into Redmane's Blood. Dehya will then take this DMG over 10s. When the mitigated DMG stored by Redmane's Blood reaches or goes over a certain percentage of Dehya's Max HP, she will stop mitigating DMG in this way.

Only 1 Fiery Sanctum created by Dehya herself can exist at the same time.

Leonine Bite

Even the flowing flames must obey her rage and at her command become her fangs and claws.

Unleashing her burning anger and casting her inconvenient blade aside, Dehya enters the Blazing Lioness state and increases her resistance to interruption.
In this state, Dehya will automatically and continuously unleash the Flame-Mane's Fists, dealing Pyro DMG based on her ATK and Max HP, and when its duration ends, she will unleash an Incineration Drive, dealing AoE Pyro DMG based on her ATK and Max HP.
If a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya's own Elemental Skill "Molten Inferno" exists when this ability is unleashed, Dehya will retrieve it, and then create another field once Blazing Lioness's duration expires. This field will take on the retrieved field's duration at the moment of its retrieval.
In this state, Dehya will be unable to cast her Elemental Skill, or perform Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks. "Normal Attack: Sandstorm Assault" and Elemental Skill "Molten Inferno" will be replaced by "Roaring Barrage."

Roaring Barrage
Unleashing Roaring Barrage within 0.4s after each Flame-Mane's Fist strike will increase the speed at which the next Flame-Mane's Fist strike will be triggered.

Passive Talent

Unstinting Succor

Ascension Phase 1

Within 6 seconds after Dehya retrieves the Fiery Sanctum field through Molten Inferno: Ranging Flame or Leonine Bite, she will take 60% less DMG when receiving DMG from Redmane's Blood. This effect can be triggered once every 2s.
Additionally, within 9s after Dehya unleashes Molten Inferno: Indomitable Flame, she will grant all party members the Gold-Forged Form state. This state will further increase a character's resistance to interruption when they are within the Fiery Sanctum field. Gold-Forged Form can be activated once every 18s.

Stalwart and True

Ascension Phase 4

When her HP is less than 40%, Dehya will recover 20% of her Max HP and will restore 6% of her Max HP every 2s for the next 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s.

The Sunlit Way

Constellation Lv. 5

Increases the Level of Molten Inferno by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

The Burning Claws Cleaving

Constellation Lv. 6

This effect can be triggered every 0.2s. The duration can be extended for a maximum of 2s and CRIT DMG can be increased by a maximum of 60% this way.

Outfits

The Lioness and the Blazing Sun

Default

Dehya's outfit. It is said when the lion roars, even the scorching sun will quiver. Though Dehya is long past the age of believing in such stories, it doesn't stop her from gazing upon the sun sinking below the sands, reminiscing about the tales and storytellers of her childhood.
