I like how Dehya is willing to talk things out but Candace just straight up yeets a spear at someone’s head

I love how this implies that it's Candace you have to watch out for. Dehya's chill but Candace has no problems "taking care of business."

Dehya: We were just sparring Candace: *Looks at the two unconscious bodies behind them* Dehya: …They're sleeping

The most outstanding character got the worst kit.

I love how Dehya turns from a lioness into a kitten the moment Candace is in sight

Really glad to see more character interactions in demos. Even though this one had less than Alhaitham’s, it still felt really nice to see the characters actually talk with each other and have full on debates during these demos! Edit: This has been done on previous demos a lot. I guess I just haven’t really noticed them until now, lol…

Some of you misunderstood Dehya's reaction to Candace. She wasn't scared that Candace showed up; she wanted to calm down the situation because she didn't want to see a head roll from a fellow merc. It's clear from the jump that Dehya wanted to simply incapacitate the other mercenaries (hence using fists instead of killing weapons), whereas Candace skipped all that noise and went straight for the kill. Since most Eremite mercs grow up together in a way, it made sense that Dehya didn't want that guy to die when she could've prevented that from happening. I highly doubt that someone who could casually shrug a thrown spear back to its owner would have any reason to be genuinely afraid of anybody.

Dehya: We were just sparring *Candace sees damage* Candace: I believe you

This is why I love Candace so much. She is so motherly with silent anger that you don't want to mess with. Her and Dehya are very straight forward but Dehya would spare you cos she's a softie on the inside while Candace will rip you apart. I love this duo... why didn't they put Candace on this banner again? Banger music as always 🔥🔥🔥

I love Dehyas rock theme so much, I think it really suits her.

The attention to detail at 1:25 she used up all her Q ability and the mob is still alive and kicking. This trailer really showcases dehya's damage. Props to hoyo.

I will never forgive them for what they did to you, my love.

I like this. Candace is soothing and serene on the surface, but clearly she has no problems eradicating intruders. Dehya is fierce but kind of heart, and uses her fists more than her sword so that she can beat some sense into people rather than kill them. Also I'm seeing a lot of Yang Xiaolong in Dehya.

When I saw Candace my jaw dropped- Character trailers bringing other characters in too is really awesome. With what they did with Alhaitham, I hope this is becoming a pattern.

Dehya's kit is so on point with her trailer - she let the Ermite live.

She really is the best 5* female pyro character on the standard banner.

She's gonna be a great character...in our hearts.

Dehya in combat(lore): a terrifying lioness Dehya with friends: an actual kitty

Imaging a metal rock band of Dehya and Xinyan. Can't wait for the first album. Maybe also add Diluc. 2 Cheerful girls and 1 grumpy guy sounds perfectly balanced.

Dehya blocking a spear with her arm ❤️and candace throwing a FREAKING SPEAR so far and still aiming right 💙

Amber did a really great job voicing Dehya. I wish her best of luck.

Feels like mihoyo is testing how far they can go in making character great except for the actual gameplay

I was WILLING TO SPEND MONEY and then y’all made her kit so bad. Literally one job Hoyo, make this fun for all of us

candace is so underrated im so happy she was shown in dehyas trailer hopefully she gets more screentime in future patchs.

Man, these demos are becoming trailers more than showcases now, and I'm all for it.

1:24 That guitar part IS SO BREATHTAKING! Oh god... Can't stop watching this

Hello Hoyoverse team, I hope that you are doing well. It's been a week officially since Dehya launch and Hoyoverse hasn't pronounced anything yet regarding the character issues. Issues like during her burst she gets caught with bubbles or gets frozen so you need to jump in order to release her, canceling her burst doing so. Low multipliers compared to other 5 stars and they are divided by atk and hp so it´s gets difficult to build, not mentioning that that's one of the causes of her low dmg. Here is a detailed observation and recommendation from a User which I agree on regarding Dehya. Issues: 1. The Fiery Sanctum field, her main ability, and Gold-Forged Form (passive) is not available all the time. 2. She cannot reliably keep other on-field characters alive because there is a 8 second downtime on Fiery Sanctum, and a 9 second downtime for Gold-Forged Form. At this point, it would be much better to choose shielding units like Noelle, Thoma and Layla, or choose healers like Barbara and Bennett. 3. She does not apply pyro consistently. 4. Her damage is very underwhelming, especially with an elemental burst that is only used for dealing damage. Moreover, her elemental burst does not trigger Xingqiu's Rain Swords or Yelan's Depth Clarion Dice. 5. The player loses control during Leonine Bite. Even jumping, something that is essential when frozen or locked inside a bubble, cancels the remaining duration of the burst. 6. Her constellations mostly only serve to increase her underwhelming damage, and do very little to improve her gameplay. Please consider the following improvements for Dehya: 1. Raging Flame, as well as Incineration Drive, should reset the duration of Fiery Sanctum. This can ensure consistent uptime of her main purpose: damage mitigation/transfer. Furthermore, the damage mitigation granted by Fiery Sanctum should be higher. Having the protected character take damage defeats the purpose of a bodyguard. 2. Gold-Forged Form state granted by her passive Unstinting Succor should last as long as there is an existing Fiery Sanctum. This further improves Dehya's bodyguard utility by keeping the on-field character upright and able to do damage by increasing the duration of resistance to interruption. 3. The coordinated attack from Fiery Sanctum should occur at intervals much shorter than 2.5 seconds, and should apply pyro with every attack. This improves Dehya's utility as an off-field support/DPS. 4. There should at least be a mechanic to increase Leonine Bite's damage based on the damage taken by Dehya. Or have Roaring Barrage trigger Xingqiu's Rain Swords or Yelan's Depth Clarion Dice. This would give Leonine Bite the damage fitting of such awesome animations. 5. Even better, remove the auto-attack of Leonine Bite. Give control of the character to the player. Instead, have Dehya enter a different state and grant her increased attack speed. I have wanted to play Dehya since her reveal in the 3.0 trailer. To finally get her but not have a comfortable time playing her due to her many issues is incredibly disheartening. It pains me and many other players to see the character that we have waited for so long be so underwhelming. I, along with many other players, hope to see much-needed improvements in Dehya's gameplay in the near future. We hope that we get to fully enjoy one of our favorite characters to the fullest of her potential. Sincerely, A Dehya Haver and Genshin Impact Enjoyer. End of text from User from the community. Like him and many other users from genshin impact were expecting months to be able to play with this character and they release her in this state And as if that were not enough, there is no communication through the official Hoyoverse channels, taking into account the disgust of many people in the community. #FixDehya

This demo is so accurate, the fact that the eremite was still standing after Dehya’s punches was nice detail

She is really suitable to be a protagonist on a game of her own.

Honestly, Dehya is so bad in game that it ends up reflecting negatively on the character herself. Dehya's character design is a promise. You see the gauntlet and the torn clothes. The unique, snappy animations. You hear the theme music and all of it just screams power. And when the game design fails to deliver on that promise, it becomes harder to take the character herself seriously.

i swear if mihoyo/hoyoverse did not mess up her kit and stuff, they would've been making bucks of her

In the livestream, Dehya‘s VA mentioned that Dehya ans Candice go shopping together! I love this little friendship! Candice is rlly underrated

Candace really is passive aggressive whereas Dehya is straight off fire ! Love this duo ❤ it’s like Ningguang and Beidou

I never knew lions were supposed to be damage sponges

"Candace is in a good mood." Candace literally a few seconds ago: *Throws a freaking spear directly at a dudes face.*

Dehya just punching everybody

0:53 Kudos to Mihoyo for placing two enemies, allowing her last hit to land. If you observe it carefully she already sent that lady to Celestia.

Dehya need fight Wriothesley. Fire meet ice. Gonna be epic.😮

I will never forgive you for what you've done to her.

1:24 THE BEAT DROP THO

One of the coolest characters we’ve ever gotten. I don’t understand some of hoyoverse’s decisions and I don’t think I ever will tbh. I hope I’ll get her on standard

Why did Dehya using her entire burst to kill one eremite have to be gameplay accurate

Good design, personality, lore power, her trailer and demo: 👑 Her playable kit still after almost 1 year: 🪦

Bro why is the most replays the part where Candace shows up 😭💀

The way Dehya got nervous of Candace When she showed up was adorable 1:46

The music switch between badass and aggressive Dehya’s theme and the soft and sneaky theme of Candace IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!! 😩😩😩

Finally made my Dehya do 10k a punch And 26k on the last attack of her burst She needs so much investment it's crazy All I need is her weapon and she will be perfect

Candace: _literally yeets a spear and almost killed someone_ Dehya: You are lucky she is in a good mood

Let's give dehya the most badass trailer we've ever made where she absolutely dominates and wipes the field, and then make her a support character in game

Why does a character so likeable, with so much efforts on music, demo, trailer, story, VA, design gets so much sh*t on ?? She deserves way more (not asking for yelan level but even niche play would be ok like Nilou or Itto)

dehya in trailer :punches dehya in game: pokes

"Time for talk's over"/"boring conversation" interaction happened with the same guy twice. Wonder if the trailer is set inside a samsara

Holy crap, that part of the theme when she does her burst is insanely good. Please tell me everyone’s gonna talk about that beat drop like Raiden Shogun’s.

This music hits harder then her

miHoYo: This is just a throwaway character, nothing special Character Design Team: Say no more fam Character Demo team: We got this. Music production team: Right away.

Oh god.. please give her buffs...she is such an amazing character and deserves all the love in the world 😭

-Awesome trailer -Sick soundtrack -Badass moves -Great looks -Neat personality -Plays an important role in the story Powerlevel: Qiqi minus well I don't want to be annoying but since that comment is getting traction might I bother you to vote on my Community poll? I'm doing a Yaoyao solo commissions until Shenhe and the poll is what commissions shall I take in the series. Thanks in advance, and have a great day

After watching this demo all I can say is “poor Dehya”, she wasn’t even on the thumbnail 😭

She's gonna be a great characters in our hearts.

The way she block that spear just solidify her as a tank even more! I love it!

Another great demo with great interactions! Dehya still protecting the guy from Candace's spear? absolute gold!

I hope some day she become playable

"Woah she's so fast the enemy has no time to move!" The damage: 5, 4, 10 XD

Dehya does no damage because she's specifically trying to NOT kill her enemy. It all makes sense now.

Well, she may not hit hard in the slightest, but she made a solid impact on my heart if nothing else.

All I got from this is "time for talks over", "boring conversation anyway" X2 and punch. Rinse and repeat

Wow, she's so cool looking and seems really powerful. I wonder if Hoyo is ever going to make her a playable character.

Glad to see Hyv’s confidence in action scenes building up

Keep the character interactions in these demos up!! It makes the world feel so much more lived in. Also Dehya and Candace being besties is incredible and iconic. Real sees real.

0:20 - who else thought that was rosaria 💀

God the beat drop when she unleashes her burst is so coolllll UGHHHHH HOYO DID HER DIRTYYYY

JUSTICE FOR DEHYA! MAKE HER GOOD CHARACTER!

0:26 what Zeus saw moments before his death in GOW3

It's time for the community to come together and make Hoyoverse Buff Dehya we just can't let this slide easily #buffdehya

The fact that a full burst rotation can't even defeat a single Eremite being translated to the gameplay too is really sad.

We need more soundtracks like this. Folk-Metal is banger.

I love everything about her! Even though she’s going to the standard banner I’m still going to try and get her because I just love her personality!

Dehya is the best five star

Now I got her. Can’t wait for her Ost release 😍🤘🏼

1:39 Woah..Candace’s spear could’ve killed him if it wasn’t for Dehya's block

Her design, theme and character are so gorgeous, im so sad she ended up the way she did :(

Watching this video after her release and now i am sad

FYI, Dihya is the name of a famous amazigh warrior queen who fought and defeated the arab soldiers invading north Africa in the 8th century

Really glad to see that her kit's damage is properly represented by the frames in this video.

This whole trailer wasn’t just the doom music kicking in, but it also busting your guts, knocking your teeth in, and breaking every bone in your body, all while tossing you around like a rag doll… I LOVE IT!❤ May all Dehya wanters be Dehya havers!

I can't wait to pull her no matter the state of her kit! Her theme is such a banger and the drop at around 1:24 goes so hard!

After the xiao trailer, this is my favorite. FORWARD DEHYA, LIONESS OF FIRE

Best of luck to those Dehya wanters👍👍

FIERY QUEEN!!!! What a soundtrack, too!

Candace and Dehya is the best design character in Genshin

After carefully reading her kit and how she works dehya is now finally at homeless shelter..

I just don't understand how yall mess up a character THIS badass?? ;w; This trailer is so damn cool.

Dehya's Demo hits hard . . . literally. Good luck on those pulling for our Queen. 👑

can't wait to listen to the full song theme 🔥this is stright up fire

This time Hoyo really need to listen to the game community

Her theme is one of those songs where you can just listen to for hours and it never gets old

Her theme is SICK holy crap! I can’t wait to pull for her! She’s so cool! Best of luck to all my fellow Dehya-seekers!

When Dehya's soundtrack hits more than Dehya herself

Damn, her theme hits harder than her

0:54 you can see the enemy going way too far from her that they needed to give a cutscene in the punch so that the full combo could connect, poor Dehya.
