Dehya’s kit is dogshit

Like, her kit was already bad. And now they nerfed her?? First she has scalings that make no sense (HP ascension stat when focusing on HP is an overall damage loss), then her kit is...cool but not actually good in the context of Genshin where shielders are king and avoiding interruption can be as important as avoiding damage (straight-up tanks aren’t exactly useful in most cases), and NOW HER NUMBERS ARE UTTER DOGSHIT?? They designed her poorly for their game, the community as a whole made that clear, and instead of buffing her numbers (could at least help her be a burst DPS) or reworking how her field works they choose to LOWER HER ALREADY MEDIOCRE NUMBERS?? 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still pulling for her. I pulled for KLEE instead of Kazuha because I am a firm believer in Character > Meta and I want Dehya just to put her in my teapot. But the way her kit looks, she’s a genuine contender for the worst character in the game and the worst 5-star by far. She is worse than Xinyan, who I would argue is the worst character in the game besides maybe Dori depending on the situation. Because Xinyan can give you a shield and Dori can heal you. The best that Dehya can do is be a damage sponge that is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT IN A META THAT FOCUSES ON MAINTAINING HP RATHER THAN CONTROLLING WHO LOSES IT. Mihoyo needs to either buff Dehya’s burst numbers considerable or rework how her field works because as it is right now she is the worst limited 5-star, the worst 5-star IN GENERAL (again, at least Qiqi can heal and use ocean hued clam effectively + Diluc’s numbers are better than hers with a kit that’s less unwieldy), and quite possibly the worst character in the game.
