The Dahlia or Constance is a 5-star Fire character following the Path of Nihility. She serves as a premier Super Break support, excelling in teams centered around high Break Effect DPS like Firefly, Rappa, Boothill, or Xueyi.
At E0S1, she revitalizes Super Break teams, often rivaling or surpassing Ruan Mei in specialized setups. Eidolons amplify her teamwide buffs, debuff consistency, and personal output, but her base kit is highly playable.
Her kit deploys a Zone via Skill that boosts team Weakness Break Efficiency by 50% and converts enemy Toughness Reduction (even pre-Break) into Super Break DMG. Her Talent establishes "Dance Partners" (herself and the highest BE ally or combat initiator), enabling Super Break on partner attacks and multi-hit Follow-Up Attacks (FUAs) that shred Toughness on Broken foes. Ultimate applies "Wilt" to all enemies for 23% DEF shred and implants Dance Partners' Weaknesses.
Eidolon Breakdown
| Eidolon | Effect | Rating & Value |
|---|---|---|
| E1: When a Bud Readies to Bloom | Talent's 75% Super Break multiplier applies teamwide (+40% extra to Dance Partners = 115%). After Dance Partner attacks, +25% Max Toughness Reduction (min 10/max 300; 1x/target, resets on kill). | ★★★★★ (Game8) / Potent (Prydwen). Teamwide Super Break access + huge Toughness shave accelerates Breaks (e.g., 300+ on bosses). ~15-25% team DPS up in Break-heavy content; shines vs high-Toughness like Apoc Shadows. Situational if teams already hyper-Break (e.g., Fugue E1+), but luxury staple for FF mains. |
| E2: Fresh, Ethereal, and Beloved | On-field: -20% enemy All-Type RES. New enemies auto-"Wilt" (3 turns). | ★★★★★ (Game8) / Strong (Prydwen). Constant RES shred (stacks multiplicatively) + perfect Wilt uptime (DEF shred/Weakness implant). BiS stopping point; outperforms RM bench in PF/multi-wave. ~20-30% team DPS; mandatory for spenders. |
| E3: Pity Its Petals Thin as Mist | Ult Lvl +2 (max 15), Basic +1 (max 10). | Standard minor upgrade (~2-5% Ult dmg). Skip. |
| E4: Pity Its Heart Gnawed by Worms | FUA hits +5 (total 10). Each FUA: +12% enemy DMG taken (2 turns, all foes). | ★★★☆☆ (Game8) / Good (Prydwen). Doubles FUA Super Break/Toughness output + stacking vuln (~24% total). Solid personal/team scaling; great if chasing E6. |
| E5: Fallen, Decayed, and Despised | Skill/Talent Lvl +2 (max 15). | Standard; buffs Zone/FUAs. |
| E6: And Yet, Always, Deathly Beautiful | Dance Partners +150% BE. Each FUA: +20% action forward for all Partners. | ★★★★☆ (Game8). Massive BE explosion + speed ramp (100%+ advances/cycle). Hypercarry enabler; whale territory for endless rotations. |
Should You Pull for Dupes? Investment Guide
The Dahlia's Eidolons follow a strong curve: E0S1 is meta-defining for Super Break, but E1/E2 unlock god-tier potential without paywalling core utility.
| Player Type | Recommended Stopping Point | Why? | Expected Jades (50/50) |
|---|---|---|---|
| F2P/New to Break | E0S1 | Fully clears endgame (MoC/Apoc/PF). Alternatives like RM suffice elsewhere. Sig LC skippable (use Long Road Leads Home). | ~160-180 (E0) + 80 (S1) |
| Low-Mid Spender (Break Investor) | E1S1 or E2S1 | E1: Team Super Break + shave = reliable. Prioritize E1 > S1 if FF E2/Fugue. E2: Universal RES pen for all content. | |
| High Spender | E2S1 | Best value/power spike. RES shred + Wilt uptime makes her universal. | |
| Whale | E4S1+ or E6 | E4 ramps her dmg/debuffs; E6 for infinite speed/BE. |
Key Factors:
- Have Firefly E2/Fugue? Yes: Pull E1/E2 for hypercarry.
- RM E2+? She flexes in, but Dahlia > RM in pure Super Break.
- LC Priority: S1 before extra Eidolons unless E1 procs often.
- Not Worth: Casual/non-Break accounts; save for future meta shifts.
Community Sentiment: FF/Rappa mains rave about E1/E2; calcs show 20-40% clearspeed/DPS gains vs E0.
Conclusion
Pull dupes if Super Break is your main team - E1/E2 transform good teams into broken ones. F2P: E0S1 suffices. Otherwise, she's a top support worth the jades.
