Genshin Impact 4★ Hydro Sword Shielder
Key of Khaj-Nisut is the closest fit on the game's own numbers: Dahlia's kit multiplies HP, and a weapon is ranked here on whether its ascension stat and its passive act on that stat. Primordial Jade Cutter, Finale of the Deep and Splendor of Tranquil Waters come next. No playtested ranking has been imported for Dahlia, so this is arithmetic over the kit data rather than a damage measurement.
Run Heart of Depth on Dahlia, with Nymph's Dream and Vourukasha's Glow behind it. Main stats are HP% sands, HP% goblet, HP% circlet. Roll substats in the order Energy Recharge > HP% > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG.
Talent priority is Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack. The Elemental Burst costs 60 energy, which is what an Energy Recharge target has to clear.
The strongest team is Skirk, Dahlia, Furina and Escoffier, built around Dahlia: Hydro · Freeze.
Normal Attack Performs up to 4 rapid strikes.
Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
Plunging Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Time for a fun little trick! Summons the Sacramental Shower in different ways depending on whether you Tap or Hold it.
Tap After a short prayer, summons the Sacramental Shower in front.
Hold Engages in continuous prayer, and when done, summons forth a Sacramental Shower in the designated position.
Sacramental Shower When opponents or nearby party members touch the Sacramental Shower, different effects will occur depending on the one who touches it: If an opponent touches the Shower, it will explode and deal AoE Hydro DMG to nearby opponents. If a nearby party member touches it, it will bounce the one who touches it high in the air.
Only 1 Sacramental Shower summoned by Dahlia himself can be on the field at once.

Dahlia's outfit. Rather than the solemn, constricting robes of the church, the lively Deacon Dahlia prefers light clothing. Indeed, piety is a quality favored by the gods, but Barbatos is not the God of Winds and Freedom for naught. Dahlia is sure that his fashion sense would earn the beneficent Anemo Archon's approval!
Names, descriptions and art from the game data. Pick an outfit on the stage to see it full size.
Dahlia is a 4-star Hydro character from Mondstadt who uses a sword, released in version 5.7.
Dahlia's abilities multiply HP. That is read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst, not from the ability description, so it reflects what the game actually multiplies rather than what the text mentions.
Key of Khaj-Nisut is the closest fit on the data: it is a 5-star sword with HP as its ascension stat, and its passive acts on HP. Finale of the Deep is the best 4-star alternative.
Heart of Depth. Its 2-piece bonus is: Hydro DMG Bonus +15% Its 4-piece bonus is: After using Elemental Skill, increases Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG by 30% for 15s.
Taking one talent from level 1 to 10 costs 1,652,500 Mora and 38× Philosophies of Ballad among other materials. The Materials tab lists every item per level.
Infallible Procession: Each time Dahlia gains 1 of his Elemental Burst Radiant Psalter's Benison stacks, he will regain 2.5 Elemental Energy.
