Let’s take a closer look at what this Light Cone offers and the materials required to fully upgrade it.
Who is The Dahlia in Honkai: Star Rail?
The Dahlia is a character from Honkai: Star Rail with the Fire element following the Path of Nihility. She is able to deal Superbreak DMG before an ememies weakness is broken giving her an advantage in fights. Her basic ATK focuses on dealing Fire DMG to a targeted enemy whereas her skill deals Fire DMG to a targeted enemy as well as those adjacent to the targeted enemy while creating a zone. While her zone is active any DMG dealt by allies will have an increased Weakness Break Efficiency. A key part of The Dahlia is when enemies take Toughness Reduction before any Weakness Breaks it is changed into Super Break DMG therefore dealing greater DMG overall making The Dahlia a great addition to any Superbreak team compositions.
