Exciting times are ahead for Genshin Impact fans! According to the buzz around the community, there’s a new male character named Dahlia making his way to the game as a 4-Star Sword user in the upcoming Version 5.7. This has everyone speculating since his concept art surfaced online a couple of years ago. The anticipation is building as everyone is curious about his elemental alignment. There’s a good chunk of the community hoping he’ll introduce new Elemental Reactions as a Dendro character, bringing fresh dynamics into play.
A recent leak confirmed that Dahlia, hails from Mondstadt and is indeed a Sword wielder. While the specifics of his elemental abilities remain under wraps, players will be delighted to know that he’ll be making his debut alongside Skirk in Version 5.7. Although some might be yearning for a new 5-Star male character, recent 4-Stars have proven their worth with characters like Iansan and Ifa adding significant value in Natlan. It’s essential to remember that even at a 4-Star rating, characters can pack a punch and significantly influence gameplay.
Set against the backdrop of Mondstadt, this new addition is expected to play a role in the upcoming Archon Quest. With earlier characters like Citlali and Escoffier reshaping gameplay with their unique abilities, Dahlia’s entrance has the potential to mix things up. Speculation is rife about his role—he could be another Support character, joining the ranks of Ifa, Mizuki, and others who have been pivotal in team strategies.
Looking back, it’s interesting how Dahlia’s journey started two years ago with a mere concept art leak. Now, he’s on the cusp of joining the playable roster, bringing with him potential new possibilities for character builds and team strategies. The announcement of Version 5.6 launching on May 7, 2025, and Version 5.7 following on June 18, 2025, has fans eagerly counting down the weeks. It’s a thrilling time for gamers who are keen to explore what Dahlia will add to their Genshin Impact adventure.
