Genshin Impression’s latest character is so unbelievably underpowered that gamers from all all over the world are begging developer MiHoYo to repair her.
After followers have been already unimpressed along with her leaked talents, Dehya was launched on the gacha recreation’s new banner final week (she’ll completely transfer to the usual banner after), and the five-star pyro character turned out to be even worse than predicted.
Dehya’s AoE hearth harm and auto-pilot final assault, or burst, do pitiful harm and poorly synergize with different characters—a necessity within the recreation’s hardest battles. Merely leaping or operating right into a wall whereas she’s performing her burst can cancel it, losing a great deal of potential harm. She will be able to even die whilst you’re swapped to a different character (opens in new tab) in the event that they take sufficient hits inside her AoE buff. Dehya is not the fierce warrior from the sport’s Sumeru storyline that followers fell in love with and eagerly awaited for her to be playable; she’s a legal responsibility.
In Genshin’s two-year lifespan, MiHoYo has solely buffed one underpowered character (opens in new tab), regardless of frequent cries from gamers who need their new favourite to be meta. However that hasn’t stopped folks from rallying across the hashtag #FixDehya (opens in new tab) on social media in an try and persuade the developer that she wants some assist.
Followers are posting an image (opens in new tab) with an inventory of desired buffs to make Dehya match into Genshin’s elemental reaction-based fight. Throughout her burst, for instance, her assaults depend as burst assaults, which may’t set off extra harm from different characters like Yelan and Beidou who’ve reactions that require regular assaults. Mixed along with her low harm output, there’s nearly no motive to make use of her over different pyro characters.
“I see numerous sentiment that our possibilities of getting Dehya fastened are unimaginable and every little thing is futile,” Reddit consumer SadMountainofSalt (opens in new tab) wrote in a prolonged Reddit put up explaining methods to unfold the phrase about Dehya. “I am right here to let you know that we even have higher possibilities than you most likely assume.
“Fixing Dehya is just not a difficulty of ‘they cannot,’ or ‘will not,’ it is a matter of us showcasing we deserve higher.”
The put up encourages folks to e-mail MiHoYo, use the in-game options field, put up on social media with the hashtag #FixDehya, and to alert influencers and press. A number of folks within the thread have posted screenshots of their emails (opens in new tab) and customer support responses (opens in new tab), a lot of which say the suggestions will likely be handed on to the event workforce.
On Sunday, the Genshin Impression Twitter posted art (opens in new tab) of Dehya to rejoice 5 million followers. Beneath the tweet are a whole lot of replies asking for MiHoYo to repair Dehya, a lot of which embrace the picture with advised adjustments.
“Thanks for commissioning a pic with our lady Dehya, now repair her,” one Twitter user (opens in new tab) wrote.
Chinese language (opens in new tab) and Japanese (opens in new tab) gamers have apparently began posting #FixDehya, too.
Diehard Genshin gamers usually discover causes to complain about new characters not becoming into their high-level play, however Dehya’s points embrace bugs the place her assaults miss close by targets (opens in new tab) and her talent fails to work (opens in new tab). Some followers have stated they’re extra upset that it would not look like she was correctly examined earlier than launch greater than her place within the meta. And others are simply comfortable to have been fortunate sufficient to drag their new favourite character (opens in new tab).
MiHoYo hasn’t made any remark about Dehya, however I’ve contacted the developer and can replace this put up if I get a response.
