Ascension Materials and Stats

Combat Talents

Dehya attack skill #1

Normal Attack: Sandstorm Assault

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes using her Claymore and her martial arts.

Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous slashes.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Dehya attack skill #2

Molten Inferno

This art of Dehya's own invention changes its method of use depending on the combat situation.

Indomitable Flame
This skill will be unleashed should there be no Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself present at the time.
Deals AoE Pyro DMG, and creates a field known as Fiery Sanctum.

Ranging Flame
This skill will be unleashed should a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya herself already exist.
Dehya will perform a leaping attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG before recreating a Fiery Sanctum field at her new position.
A Fiery Sanctum field created this way will inherit the remaining duration of the previous field.

Ranging Flame can be used only once throughout a single Fiery Sanctum field's duration.

Fiery Sanctum
When an opponent within a Fiery Sanctum field takes DMG, the field will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Pyro DMG to them based on Dehya's ATK and Max HP. This effect can be triggered once every 2.5s.
Active characters within this field have their resistance to interruption increased, and when such characters take DMG, a portion of that damage will be mitigated and flow into Redmane's Blood. Dehya will then take this DMG over 10s. When the mitigated DMG stored by Redmane's Blood reaches or goes over a certain percentage of Dehya's Max HP, she will stop mitigating DMG in this way.

Only 1 Fiery Sanctum created by Dehya herself can exist at the same time.

Walk this fiery ordeal with me and purge all impurity, just as a beast of flames that must descend from the blaze.
Dehya attack skill #3

Leonine Bite

Unleashing her burning anger and casting her inconvenient blade aside, Dehya enters the Blazing Lioness state and increases her resistance to interruption.
In this state, Dehya will automatically and continuously unleash the Flame-Mane's Fists, dealing Pyro DMG based on her ATK and Max HP, and when its duration ends, she will unleash an Incineration Drive, dealing AoE Pyro DMG based on her ATK and Max HP.
If a Fiery Sanctum field created by Dehya's own Elemental Skill "Molten Inferno" exists when this ability is unleashed, Dehya will retrieve it, and then create another field once Blazing Lioness's duration expires. This field will take on the retrieved field's duration at the moment of its retrieval.
In this state, Dehya will be unable to cast her Elemental Skill, or perform Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks. "Normal Attack: Sandstorm Assault" and Elemental Skill "Molten Inferno" will be replaced by "Roaring Barrage."

Roaring Barrage
Unleashing Roaring Barrage within 0.4s after each Flame-Mane's Fist strike will increase the speed at which the next Flame-Mane's Fist strike will be triggered.

Even the flowing flames must obey her rage and at her command become her fangs and claws.

Passive Talents

Dehya attack skill #1

Unstinting Succor

Within 6 seconds after Dehya retrieves the Fiery Sanctum field through Molten Inferno: Ranging Flame or Leonine Bite, she will take 60% less DMG when receiving DMG from Redmane's Blood. This effect can be triggered once every 2s.
Additionally, within 9s after Dehya unleashes Molten Inferno: Indomitable Flame, she will grant all party members the Gold-Forged Form state. This state will further increase a character's resistance to interruption when they are within the Fiery Sanctum field. Gold-Forged Form can be activated once every 18s.
Dehya attack skill #2

Stalwart and True

When her HP is less than 40%, Dehya will recover 20% of her Max HP and will restore 6% of her Max HP every 2s for the next 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 20s.
Dehya attack skill #3

The Sunlit Way

During the day (06:00 โ€“ 18:00), your party members gain the Swift Stride effect: Movement SPD increased by 10%.
Does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or Spiral Abyss. Swift Stride does not stack.

Constellations

Dehya's Max HP is increased by 20%, and she deals bonus DMG based on her Max HP when using the following attacks:
ยทMolten Inferno's DMG will be increased by 3.6% of her Max HP.
ยทLeonine Bite's DMG will be increased by 6% of her Max HP.
Dehya constellation skill #2

2. The Sand-Blades Glittering

When Dehya uses Molten Inferno: Ranging Flame, the duration of the recreated Fiery Sanctum field will be increased by 6s.
Additionally, when a Fiery Sanctum exists on the field, DMG dealt by its next coordinated attack will be increased by 50% when active character(s) within the Fiery Sanctum field are attacked.
Dehya constellation skill #3

3. A Rage Swift as Fire

Increases the Level of Leonine Bite by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Dehya constellation skill #4

4. An Oath Abiding

When Flame-Mane's Fist and Incineration Drive attacks unleashed during Leonine Bite hit opponents, they will restore 1.5 Energy for Dehya and 2.5% of her Max HP. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s.
Dehya constellation skill #5

5. The Alpha Unleashed

Increases the Level of Molten Inferno by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Dehya constellation skill #6

6. The Burning Claws Cleaving

The CRIT Rate of Leonine Bite is increased by 10%.
Additionally, after a Flame-Mane's Fist attack hits an opponent and deals CRIT Hits during a single Blazing Lioness state, it will cause the CRIT DMG of Leonine Bite to increase by 15% for the rest of Blazing Lioness's duration and extend that duration by 0.5s. This effect can be triggered every 0.2s. The duration can be extended for a maximum of 2s and CRIT DMG can be increased by a maximum of 60% this way.

Quotes

Hello

My name's Dehya. I'm the merc you hired. So what you got for me? A commission? A fight? Armed escort? Whatever it is โ€” you know where to find me.

Chat: Mercenaries

We mercs have one simple rule: Whoever pays the most is your new boss.

Chat: Desert

The desert's a tough adversary, but at least it doesn't hide anything. What you see is what you get, and whether you take on the challenge is entirely up to you.

Chat: My People

My people are used to the desert life... But still, I hope that one day, they'll be able to find an oasis of their own, and leave the sandstorms behind for a better life.

When It Rains

According to some of the older Eremites, it does actually rain in the desert on occasion. And when it does, it's always a lot heavier than this.

When Thunder Strikes

Man, this thunder is loud. They won't hear us coming... or vice versa.

When It Snows

*grimace* ...Are you kidding me? This is even colder than the nights in the desert...

When the Sun Is Out

Ah, sun's out, guns out, hehe... Just sucks that I got so much work to do.

When the Wind Is Blowing

Wind's picking up... Let's play it safe and pitch camp downwind of our target.

In the Desert

Stay close, no going off on your own. The desert doesn't take prisoners.

Good Morning

Ready to roll? Good. Then let's pack up and move out.

Good Afternoon

Where did the morning go... Alright, soon as I see a good spot, I'll set up the stove and cook us some lunch.

Good Evening

You're still working at this hour? Ugh, and I thought we mercs had it tough.

Good Night

It's late. Go get some rest, I'll take the night watch.

About Dehya: The Eremites

"The Eremites" is just a title โ€” any mercenary in Sumeru can call themselves a member. Sadly, you get some mercs throwing the term around to take advantage of outlanders who don't know any better... Hmph. We've got those jerks to thank for the increasingly abysmal reputation we have these days.

About Dehya: Dad

...Kusayla was his name. As a merc, he had a slapdash way of working and a whole lot of bravado. But he also saved me from the desert, and did whatever he could to pass on to me everything he had. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today.

About Us: Great Deeds

Your recent feats have been doing the rounds, you know. In my brigade alone, a lot of people have been talking about the things you've achieved. I've even had several people ask me if I can introduce them to you.

About Us: Comrades-in-Arms

"Friends"? Hmm... I dunno, after everything we've been through, all the battles we've faced together? Somehow, "friends" just doesn't quite do it justice. I think... yeah, "comrades-in-arms" sums it up best for me. The bond we share can only be forged in the heat of battle. It's one of the most unbreakable bonds there is.

About the Vision

How's my life changed since getting my Vision? Huh... Well, obviously it gives me an extra edge in battle, but honestly, the biggest thing for me is that it's helped me bring a few more mercs into the Blazing Beasts...

Something to Share

You know Ajilenakh Nuts, right? I used to go crazy for them as a kid... but my dad was the worst at shelling them. He'd just hack 'em to pieces with his knife, leaving a bunch of inedible mush behind. In the end, he'd salvage what he could by scraping pieces of the flesh off the shell, then mixing it with some milk and calling it porridge. ...I do miss the taste of that porridge sometimes... and I miss that old nut-cracker, too.

Interesting Things

A lot of people see the Red Vulture as an omen of death and disaster, because it feeds on the carcasses of the dead. But the way it soars high above the desert... I've always seen it as a symbol of the tenacity of life. I wonder what the Great Red Sand looks like from all the way up there.

About Tighnari

Hahaha, the one that got away... I came thiiis close to doing a job for that guy. A contact put us in touch โ€” I was supposed to be his guide through the desert for some kind of investigation. But then it got canceled out of the blue, no idea why. Wait, actually... I think there was something about him not being good with the heat? I'm not sure, but it could have been that...

About Lesser Lord Kusanali

Hmph... You know, I always thought the Akademiya's worst were just a bunch of greedy dogs, each fighting for their slice of the pie... Nope. Turns out they were a vicious pack of wolves who betrayed the whole nation. If you want my opinion... Lesser Lord Kusanali was too good to them. Those animals didn't deserve her mercy โ€” she should've broken every single bone in their bodies! Instead, they got a nice little vacation in the rainforest... To say they got off lightly is just putting it mildly.

About Candace

Ah, Candace... I love her to bits, but she can be as stubborn as a Sumpter Beast sometimes. I keep telling her she oughtta cut herself some slack, take some time off, maybe go take a walk around Sumeru City, buy herself some nice new clothes or jewelry... but she always says the same old thing: She can't bear to leave the village unprotected. I dunno how many times she's turned me down now. Ugh, if I really can't persuade her, I guess I'll just have to watch the village for her sometime, and get one of my Eremite girls to take her shopping...

About Alhaitham

He offered me a position in the Akademiya once. I declined โ€” working in a place like that would bore me to death. He, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of person I can imagine working there... always talking in long, convoluted sentences, and in that snooty tone... Tsk.

About Cyno

The General Mahamatra? Doesn't suffer fools gladly, and certainly doesn't beat around the bush. Having seen the way he works, he gets a thumbs up from me.

About Nilou

Now that the whole saga with the Akademiya's over, I guess she can finally dance as much as she wants. She offered me some of her face powder last time I saw her, but I didn't have the time to go fetch it. So I told her to give it to Candace instead. Hmm... I wonder how she's liking it? I need to go check sometime...

About Dori

Ah, the famous merchant. I've heard that her prices aren't cheap, but is it true that she can get a hold of anything you want? Hahaha, then I should start talking to her, 'cause uh... some of the supplies we mercs need are impossible to get anywhere else on the market, no matter what you're willing to pay.

About Layla

Ahh, the sleepy girl, yeah, I think I remember her. I ran into her once at an oasis on the outskirts of the desert. She was out with some group from the Akademiya doing astronomical observations, or something. I wasn't really paying attention. ...Huh? Candace... what now? Emissary from the stars? The heck is that all about? Almost sounds like she didn't wake up before getting out of bed.

About Sethos

Oh yeah, I only found out about him being from the Temple of Silence recently, too. Ahh, sorry, no โ€” I'm no expert in mysterious organizations like that. Seen him a few times in the desert though. He's very down-to-earth. Once when my guys got into some trouble in the desert, he was kind enough to share his drinking water with them. Nice guy.

More About Dehya: I

I've lived around Eremites my whole life. As a little girl, I had a wooden sword for a toy. Everyone I knew growing up was either a merc or on their way to becoming one, and even the bowls we ate our meals from were carved by mercenary blades... After an upbringing like that, it'd be more surprising if I didn't become a merc when I grew up, right?

More About Dehya: II

Where do I feel like I belong? No idea. I've never thought about that sort of thing before. If I had to pick... I've lived most of my life in the desert, so I guess that makes me a desert-dweller.

More About Dehya: III

Being a merc is tough. The work itself is one thing, but the worst part is trying to get your client to pay you after you finish the job. The Akademiya's top of my list โ€” they're pretty straightforward. The Adventurers' Guild isn't too bad either. But trading merchants can be a total nightmare. They're always telling me that their funds are tied up, so cash is tight, yadda yadda. "Just a few more days," they say. If cash is so tight, how'd you pay for that big pile of goods on your cart, hmm? Tsk.

More About Dehya: IV

The Akademiya have taken a kinder view of us since everything that went down. I heard that they even released a ton of new regulations to support the desert folk. Hmph, it'd take me till the end of time to read and understand all that documentation... I just hope from now on, the Wall of Samiel will only mark the place where sandstorms end, rather than my folks' hopes and dreams.

More About Dehya: V

Most mercs are looking to make their fortune and leave their mark. They take on the hardest jobs they can find, hoping to earn as much Mora and prestige as possible. Some are lucky enough to survive and become legends, while others disappear into the desert before anyone's learned their name. I don't have any grand aspirations though. I just want to keep the people I care about safe, so they can live their lives in peace. Of course, I won't complain if I can make some extra Mora along the way, haha.

Dehya's Hobbies

I looove my make-up box. Sometimes I take it out and re-organize it when I have the time. I keep all my powders and brushes in here โ€” paid top Mora for all of it. Just look at this texture! Isn't it just perfectly smooth? And even if you sweat or get caught in the rain, it doesn't run. Hehehe, you get what you pay for.

Dehya's Troubles

Some clients are behind on their payments again, and a few of the guys got themselves into trouble during their last job... *sigh* I'm not the boss, but somehow everything ends up being my problem...

Favorite Food

Candied Ajilenakh Nuts, no contest. Easy to take on the road, and of course delicious.

Least Favorite Food

Anything bitter. Nope. Keep it away from me. Can't stand it.

Receiving a Gift: I

This tastes amazing! I'd better not have any more, or I'll never be able to go back to my usual rations.

Receiving a Gift: II

Mmm, not bad... compared to rations, anyway.

Receiving a Gift: III

You know, if nothing else, it's uh... filling, and if it fills you up โ€” it's good grub! Hahaha...

Birthday

Happy Birthday! Reach into your pocket, your present's already in there. How'd I do it? Hehe, just a little trick of the trade. Anyway, more importantly, I've booked us a real feast at Lambad's Tavern, so let's get ourselves over there! ...Huh? Oh, don't worry, I didn't invite any of the other mercs. Nah, that rowdy bunch is always getting into arguments โ€” not the kind of people you'd want at a birthday celebration. It'll just be me and you, like it should be... Ahem, c'mon, c'mon, let's go.

Feelings About Ascension: Intro

Huh? How about that... I really did get stronger.

Feelings About Ascension: Building Up

Hey, this feels good. I think I'll be able to hit quite a bit harder with my sword now.

Feelings About Ascension: Climax

So much power... I have to go test this out. You down to spar with me or what?

Feelings About Ascension: Conclusion

I never once imagined I could get to this level... All credit goes to you. What next? Do you have a job for me? Whatever it is, just say the word and I'll be there.

Elemental Skill: I
