Everyone wants MiHoYo to #FixDehya.
Genshin Impact’s newest character is so unbelievably underpowered that players from all around the world are begging developer MiHoYo to fix her.
After fans were already unimpressed with her leaked abilities, Dehya was released on the gacha game’s new banner last week (she’ll permanently move to the standard banner after), and the five-star pyro character turned out to be even worse than predicted.
Dehya’s AoE fire damage and auto-pilot ultimate attack, or burst, do pitiful damage and poorly synergize with other characters—a necessity in the game’s hardest battles. Merely jumping or running into a wall while she’s performing her burst can cancel it, wasting loads of potential damage. She can even die while you’re swapped to another character (opens in new tab) if they take enough hits within her AoE buff. Dehya isn’t the fierce warrior from the game’s Sumeru storyline that fans fell in love with and eagerly awaited for her to be playable; she’s a liability.
In Genshin’s two-year lifespan, MiHoYo has only buffed one underpowered character (opens in new tab), despite frequent cries from players who want their new favorite to be meta. But that hasn’t stopped people from rallying around the hashtag #FixDehya (opens in new tab) on social media in an attempt to convince the developer that she needs some help.
