Dehya vs Xinyan

Tanky Pyro mitigation vs. Physical Pyro support

TL;DR — Quick Pick

Pick Dehya if…

  • When you need consistent Pyro application for Burning
  • To provide interruption resistance for squishy carries
  • If you want a character that is harder to kill in tough content

Pick Xinyan if…

  • In Physical damage teams (Eula/Razor) as a budget support
  • If you have her C2, ensuring 100% Crit Rate on her Burst
  • When you need a Pyro shield for resonance
Verdict

Both characters are considered lower-tier, but Dehya provides more unique defensive utility. Xinyan's split scaling and weak shield make her very difficult to use effectively outside of Physical niches.

With Dehya

Bennett acts as the primary battery for Dehya, helping her generate the energy needed for her 70-cost Burst while providing a massive ATK buff. His 'Fantastic Voyage' healing also compensates for the damage Dehya takes when absorbing hits for her teammates via 'Redmane's Blood'. This synergy is essential for any Dehya build that aims to use her Burst as a primary source of damage.

With Xinyan

Bennett provides Xinyan with the necessary Pyro resonance and a massive ATK buff that boosts the damage of both her Physical Burst and her Pyro Skill. His consistent healing covers for Xinyan's often weaker shield, ensuring the team stays healthy during her melee rotations. This pairing is vital for maximizing Xinyan's damage output in any carry or sub-DPS role.
