4-star characters in Genshin Impact can be incredibly useful, or just not good enough to fit anywhere. It’s a weird situation where the devs could create a character that could break the game, like Bennett in Genshin Impact, or just be there for no reason, like Xinyan.

Ineffa Team Composition Guide In Genshin Impact

Ineffa provides damage bonuses for Lunar-Charged reaction in Genshin Impact, so including Hydro characters in Ineffa team comps is highly recommended.

There are some 4-star units that sit in the middle with mediocre utility, like Dahlia, who isn’t amazing, but isn’t bad either. These kinds of 4-star characters are usually outshone by other 5-star units who can do the same and more. So, that gives extra importance to maximizing the efficiency of Dahlia, making sure he doesn’t make any mistakes when he’s operating during combat.

5 Only Using Him As A Shielder

Dahlia is an acceptable shielder in Genshin Impact. Some players might give him priority when choosing a shielder for the team because he’s a Hydro character. However, there are a lot of better shielders than Dahlia, if the issue is to shield the team.

Characters like Zhongli in Genshin Impact can shield the team for longer durations while providing extra offensive buffs and debuffs. Dahlia only becomes more useful as a shielder when players start getting more of his Constellations. And even then, it’s a loss in the team’s slot to use him just for the shield, without taking into consideration his other qualities.

4 Not Using Noblesse Oblige

Supports in Genshin Impact have a notable number of artifact sets to choose from. Some can even effectively use a couple of them. However, that’s not the case with Dahlia. He isn’t from Natlan and doesn’t have Nightsoul's Blessing state, so the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City set doesn’t work on him. He barely deals any DMG, so Hydro sets won’t work on him either. He's a shielder, but can’t keep dealing DMG from his Elemental Skill, so the Tenacity of the Millelith set won’t work on him either.

Ineffa Build In Genshin Impact

Ineffa may look like a support, but her Genshin Impact build is so offensive that she could be a main DPS, if not for her poor Normal Attack scalings.

The only and best option for Dahlia in Genshin Impact is to build him with the Noblesse Oblige set, as it provides his team a 20% extra ATK when he casts his Elemental Burst in Genshin Impact.

3 Not Understanding His Role

As a 4-star character in Genshin Impact, Dahlia’s entire kit revolves around his Elemental Burst. He doesn’t have any Hydro application besides two attacks he deals when he’s active through his Elemental Skill and Burst.

Dahlia’s main role is to provide ATK SPD to the DPS characters that need that kind of buff. He also provides a 20% extra ATK through the Noblesse Oblige set, making him a decent buffer in Genshin Impact.

2 Not Balancing Between His HP And Energy Recharge

Dahlia needs to reach 40,000 HP to be able to fully unlock the requirements of his fourth Ascension passive, which gives the active character up to 20% extra ATK SPD. For a 4-star, this is a hard milestone, especially when considering Dahlia doesn’t have a Signature weapon helping him reach it. Some players might focus on building Dahlia’s stats with HP% to make sure he reaches that 40k Max HP target. But that might take away Dahlia’s ability to cast his Elemental Burst on each rotation.

Ineffa needs to have offensive stats like ATK and Crit from her weapons in Genshin Impact.

This is important because nobody wants to build a team where the Support unit is only able to help in every few rotations. For that, players must balance between Dahlia’s Max HP and Energy Recharge to make sure he’s as close as possible to 40K Max HP without losing his ability to cast his Elemental Burst on every rotation.

1 Teaming Him With The Wrong Characters

As a character who increases his team’s ATK SPD, it’s important to know which characters work and don’t work with Dahlia in Genshin Impact. Having him paired with characters that depend on their Charged Attack, like Neuvillette, will not add anything to the team. Instead, it’s just going to waste a spot in that team.

Dahlia’s main idea as a Support is to buff ATK SPD and ATK%. So, he needs a character to benefit from these two buffs. Characters like Wanderer, Arlecchino, Razor, and Skirk can benefit from all these buffs Dahlia can provide.
