Genshin Impact Update 5.7 introduces Dahlia to the roster

Image via HoYoverse Genshin Impact Version 5.7 is set to launch on June 18, and HoYoverse has dropped a surprise — Dahlia, the long-rumored 4-star Hydro Sword wielder from Mondstadt, is finally joining the roster. Here's a crisp breakdown of what you can expect from this newest addition to the game. Who is Dahlia in Genshin Impact 5.7? Dahlia isn't exactly a new face in the lore. First mentioned way back in Version 1.3, he's been a part of Genshin's whispered history for years, now stepping into the spotlight as the 'Herald of Barbatos.' As a high-ranking member of the Church of Favonius, Dahlia brings a unique blend of piety and mischief. He's charismatic, chill, and — like many from Mondstadt — quite fond of a good drink.

However, early impressions from beta players paint a mixed picture. His off-field Hydro application is limited, his shield is modest at best, and his energy costs are on the higher side. His Attack Speed boost is also nothing groundbreaking, especially when compared to what other 4-star supports like Mika already offer. New Update! Version 5.7 Banners Dahlia Fully Details With Skirk - Genshin Impact Dahlia Story Impact & Launch Details in Genshin Impact Version 5.7 Narratively, Dahlia left a strong impression in Version 5.6, showcasing his free-spirited nature and loyalty to Barbatos. This personality adds depth to Mondstadt's lore, making his arrival more meaningful for lore lovers. He'll be featured alongside Skirk and Emilie on the event banners in the first phase of Version 5.7, but synergy-wise, there's little overlap between them. Still, for players building Mondstadt-themed teams or looking for niche utility, Dahlia might find a place. If you're a collector, a Mondstadt fan, or running a team that needs Hydro support and faster hits, Dahlia is worth a look. Otherwise, it might be smart to wait and see how the meta settles post-launch.
