Overview
- Dahlia, an upcoming male character in Genshin Impact Version 5.7, will utilize a Sword as his weapon.
- Concept art for Dahlia was leaked two years ago, and his official debut is scheduled for Version 5.7.
- The community anticipates that Dahlia will be a Dendro character, which could introduce fresh Elemental Reactions in this update.
A recent leak within the Genshin Impact community has unveiled that Dahlia, a new character from Mondstadt, will join the roster wielding a Sword. Historically, Genshin Impact has introduced a variety of characters to adapt gameplay mechanics, particularly in the Natlan updates. Characters such as Citlali enhanced the Melt mechanic, while Varesa redefined Plunge and Escoffier is expected to refresh Freeze as a key meta reaction.
Another trend seen with the new characters is their focus on Support roles. Legends like Ifa, Mizuki, Iansan, and Escoffier each have unique support capabilities. Although it is currently unclear what specific role Dahlia will assume upon his debut in Version 5.7, it has been confirmed that he will appear in the upcoming Archon Quest set in Mondstadt.
Thanks to his imminent involvement in the storyline, data miners have deduced his weapon type accurately. While his elemental affiliation is still under wraps, Mero has indicated that Dahlia is a Sword user hailing from Mondstadt, and he will make his debut alongside Skirk in the highly anticipated Version 5.7. Based on previous leaks, it is likely that he will be categorized as a 4-Star character, as Kinich is projected to be the only male 5-Star introduced during the Natlan era. Despite this three-star standing possibly disappointing some fans, it’s worth noting that recent 4-Star characters like Ororon, Lan Yan, Iansan, and Ifa have significantly impacted the game’s balance, highlighting Natlan’s emphasis on powerful 4-Star characters.
Genshin Impact: Meet Dahlia
As a 4-Star Sword user with an indeterminate elemental affinity, Dahlia possesses various avenues to influence the evolving Genshin Impact meta. If he is revealed to be a Hydro character, he could redefine the role as the element’s inaugural Shield Support. However, many fans hold a strong desire for him to become Mondstadt’s first Dendro character. Such a designation could pave the way for new Elemental Reactions introduced in the Imaginarium Theater during Version 5.6.
Interestingly, Dahlia’s concept art emerged two years ago, leading the community to speculate on his eventual inclusion in the playable character lineup. It seems that Version 5.7 will be the long-awaited moment for the Deacon of the Church of Favonius to take center stage. While the nature of his synergy with Skirk remains uncertain, excitement is building for his appearance. The launch dates are approaching, with Version 5.6 set for May 7, 2025, followed by Version 5.7 on June 18, 2025.
