Despite recent fan concern that the damage output fromGenshin Impact’snew banner character Dehya placed heramong the roster’s weakest heroes, a new strategy developed by one particular player shows her taking down the hardest boss in the game with absolutely no effort of the player’s part.
Playing to Dehya’s defensive capabilities and with the help of a few particular items and passive skills, the strategy allowed the player to go AFK for about 45 minutes whilethe mighty Azhdahaeventually whittled its own health down to nothing.

Dehya was introduced to the game just a few days ago, on March 1, aspart of the 3.5 update. Despite her five-star status, the Pyro-style character has already divided the community, with many thinking her a non-viable choice due to her low damage output. Tanks have never been a favored role for a lot of Genshin Impact players when planning out their teams, but this might be the character to change that mindset, as Dehya’s particular abilities have been proven to synergize so nicely with certain items utilized in this boss fight.
to pull out a victory against Azhdaha without lifting a finger, some key equipment was required.According to PCGamesN, the player equipped the already robust character with The Bell, a four-star claymore that provides a big hit point boost and produces a damage-reducing shield when the character is hit. As seen near the video’s end, coupled with this weapon was the Ocean-Hued Clam artifact set, which was released back in version 2.3. In addition to providing a healing bonus, equipping at least four items from the set will cause a bubble explosion every few seconds, causing area-of-effect damage based on how many hit points the character has received from healing.
As Dehya comes packaged with a penchant for auto-healing when she is at low health, the equipment combo dealt out all the damage she needed to defeat the boss with no input from the player’s keyboard at all. Meanwhile, her already natural tank stats, coupled with The Bell’s boost to her hit points and defense, kept her in the battle. Although she does drop to zero HP around the six-and-a-half-minute mark, a quick auto-revive from four-star Hydro teammate Barbara picks her back up to finish the impressive, if a bit tedious, encounter.
While the boss battle against Azhdaha is regarded by many as the toughest in the game, it will be interesting to see how this discovery affects public opinion on Dehya’s viability outside of this one particular scenario.
