The best Dahlia build in Genshin Impact (Version 7.0) is Key of Khaj-Nisut with Heart of Depth, HP% sands, HP% goblet, HP% circlet. Updated August 22, 2026

How this build was derivedDahlia’s kit multiplies HP, read from the scaling rows on the Elemental Skill and Burst rather than from the ability prose. Weapons and artifact sets below are ranked on whether their stat and their passive text act on that stat. This is a reading of the game’s own numbers, not a community tier consensus — a set that wins a niche team composition will not show up here.

Dahlia build summary

Updated August 22, 2026

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.

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.

    Pristine Prayers

    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!
