Overview

The Dahlia is a premium Super Break support who removes one of Break teams' biggest limitations: needing enemies to already be Weakness Broken. Her Zone allows the team to deal Super Break damage even before the Toughness bar is depleted.

Role

Break Amplifier / Super Break Enabler

Playstyle

Make your main Break DPS her Dance Partner, maintain Dahlia's Skill Zone, then mostly Basic ATK while the carry attacks. Her Follow-Up helps deal extra Toughness/Super Break damage and periodically restores SP.

Why It Works

Her Zone converts Toughness damage into Super Break even against enemies that aren't Broken, while also increasing the team's Break Efficiency. This massively reduces the usual downtime Break teams suffer before reaching their damage window.

Watch For

Make sure the correct DPS becomes Dance Partner and don't let her Skill Zone expire. Ultimate timing also matters when new enemies or waves appear, since Wilt and Weakness Implant need to be reapplied.

Playstyle

Combat Flow

Technique → activate Zone → Dance Partner attacks → Dahlia FuA → generate SP → Ultimate/Wilt → maintain Zone → repeat.

Key Notes

Aim for around 160+ SPD and 200–250%+ Break Effect. Use SPD Boots and either ERR or Break Effect Rope depending on your rotation.
Skill Zone grants 50% Weakness Break Efficiency.
The Zone enables Super Break even before enemies are Weakness Broken.

Tune SPD with her Weakness-implant SPD buff in mind, then add Break Effect for Super Break and Yet Another Funeral's shared buff. Keep defensive rolls for survival; add Effect Hit Rate only if the selected Light Cone needs it.

Eidolon Investment

E0 supplies the Zone, Dance Partner and pre-break Super Break access. E1 broadens Talent Super Break and adds limited fixed Toughness reduction; E2 adds resistance reduction and applies Wilt to arriving enemies.

Never Forget Her Flame supplies Break Effect and increases Break damage for her and the selected partner. Weakness application recovers a Skill Point once, with that trigger resetting on Ultimate; it is not an enemy vulnerability debuff.

Extends Talent Super Break to all allies, strengthens Dance Partners and adds once-per-target fixed Toughness reduction after their attacks.

Reduces enemy All-Type RES by 20% while she is present and inflicts Wilt on enemies entering the field.

BounceLv. 10

When entering combat, The Dahlia regenerates 35 Energy and becomes "Dance Partners" along with the teammate that triggered combat. Whenever there is no other "Dance Partner" on the field, this unit and the teammate with the highest Break Effect become "Dance Partners" together. After a "Dance Partner" attacks a Weakness Broken enemy target, the Toughness Reduction from this attack will be converted into 1 instance of Super Break DMG at 60%.

After an enemy target gets attacked by the other "Dance Partner," The Dahlia launches Follow-Up ATK and deals 5 instance(s) of DMG, each dealing Fire DMG equal to 30% of The Dahlia's ATK to one random enemy. After each instance of DMG dealt to a Weakness Broken enemy target, the Toughness Reduction from this DMG will be converted into 1 instance of Super Break DMG at 200%.

This effect can only trigger once per turn. If the target is defeated before the Follow-Up ATK is used, it will be launched at one random enemy instead.
