Best weapons for Dahlia in Genshin Impact

1) Favonius Sword

Dahlia's best-in-slot weapon is the 4-star Favonius Sword (as is the case with most supports who have high Energy Recharge requirements). This sword gives him a lot of ER, which is necessary for him to replenish his Elemental Burst. If you want to focus on Dahlia's shielding capabilities, the Favonius Sword is his best option.

2) Sacrificial Sword

In case you cannot equip the Favonius Sword on Dahlia, the 4-star Sacrificial Sword is his next best option. This weapon also has an ER secondary stat, which will be very useful for Dahlia.

3) Key of Khaj-Nisut

Despite being a 5-star weapon, the Key of Khaj-Nisut is not one of Dahlia's top weapon options. You can use this if you specifically want Dahlia to have a 5-star weapon, or if you don't have the other aforementioned 4-star swords available. Key of Khaj-Nisut will provide Dahlia with extra HP, which he can take advantage of, as an HP-scaling unit.

Talent priority for Dahlia in Genshin Impact

Dahlia should have the following talent priority while you are leveling him up:

Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack
