GENSHIN Impact players have created several trending hashtags to demand a buff for new character Dehya.
When Dehya was released in the beta version, players gave feedback to developer MiHoYo that her abilities were too weak.
Dehya’s latest banner.
However, the character has remained largely unchanged in her final release in the 3.5 update.
Her regular attack combos and her elemental skill were both considered sub-par by players, especially considering her rare five-star rating.
Aside from her high rating, players also enjoyed Dehya’s storyline prior to her release as a playable character, and were looking forward to including her on their teams.
Community feedback has led to balance changes to Genshin Impact in the past, specifically with the character Zhongli.
However, several similar campaigns have been launched, and Zhongli stands as the only success story.
As you play through the story of Genshin Impact, the battles get gradually more difficult.
This means that due to poor performance, several characters become unusable in the late game.
Despite this MiHoYo has never buffed these characters so that players can use their favourites for more difficult fights.
The Dendro element in update 3.0 allowed some characters to become relevant again due to this huge change in the game’s mechanics.
However, a buff that specifically targets a single character almost never happens.
While it seems unlikely that Dehya herself will receive a direct buff as a result of the campaign, other changes could help improve her power.
New weapons, artifacts or characters could be introduced to make her more powerful on the battlefield.
