You can begin gathering materials for Dahlia in Genshin Impact as soon as you acquire him from the gacha banners or future release systems. This preparation will help you complete his Ascension and upgrade his Talents immediately. Dahlia is a deacon from the Church of Favonius, first introduced as a non-playable character in the Archon Quests of Version 5.6. He plays a crucial role in the storyline associated with Albedo and the Hexenzirkel, and is anticipated to be released in Version 5.7, alongside Skirk in Genshin Impact.
While HoYoverse has not officially confirmed Dahlia as a playable character, he is featured in the beta tests for Version 5.7, revealing many leaks about his abilities. These leaks suggest that Dahlia is a 4-star Hydro character who wields a sword in combat. According to the leaked information, Dahlia will function as a sustain unit, providing shields to protect his teammates. These shields can regenerate under specific conditions, such as triggering Frozen reactions, making him a valuable support for Skirk.

All of Dahlia’s Materials in Genshin Impact 5.7 Have Leaked
Pre-Farming Materials Based on Leaks Comes With a Risk
Ahead of his release, collecting Dahlia’s materials can be a smart move, as it allows you to immediately level him up to 90 and enhance his Talents once you have him. Since all leaked materials are already in the game, this could save time. However, it’s important to be cautious about potential changes to these items by HoYoverse during the beta tests for Version 5.7. You may find yourself needing to farm some materials again, which could be worthwhile given the benefits.
Ascension Materials to Pre-Farm for Dahlia in Genshin Impact
You Can Optimize a Few Farming Processes
As per the leaks (and rumors about him being a Hydro character), Dahlia will need Varunada Lazurite elemental stones for his Ascension. You can obtain Varunada Lazurite Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones from Hydro-related bosses like Oceanid, Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device, and Childe. However, I suggest farming these from the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device in Natlan to streamline your efforts and reduce time spent grinding in Genshin Impact.
The following table lists all the materials needed for Dahlia’s Ascension, categorized by level requirements:

The main advantage of farming Varunada Lazurite stones from the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device is that this boss also drops the Secret Source Airflow Accumulator, needed for Dahlia’s Ascension. This way, you can gather two types of materials in one go. Be prepared to face this world boss multiple times, as it may take a few days to acquire all the necessary materials.
Additionally, Dahlia’s Ascension will require Calla Lilies, a local specialty found primarily in Mondstadt, particularly around Springvale and near bodies of water. With only 53 nodes available on the map, harvesting them—since they respawn every 48 hours—could take over a week. Use the interactive map on HoYoLAB to locate Calla Lilies efficiently.
You can also gather Calla Lilies in your Serenitea Pot.
The leaks indicate that Dahlia will require Firm Arrowhead, Sharp Arrowhead, and Weathered Arrowhead as part of his Ascension materials. These materials drop from Hilichurl Shooters located throughout Teyvat. If you want to establish efficient farming routes, consider using the interactive map. Stock up on these materials, as they will also be needed for Dahlia’s Talent leveling. Don’t forget to utilize the Alchemy Table to convert lower-quality materials into rarer ones, including Varunada Lazurite stones and upcoming Talent books.
To fully Ascend Dahlia and reach all level thresholds, you’ll need 420,000 Mora, alongside 1,673,400 Mora for leveling up with Character EXP Materials. Consider engaging in Blossom of Wealth activities in Mondstadt for extra Mora. This can provide additional farming opportunities and encounters with Hilichurl Shooters, who drop the Arrowhead materials essential for his Ascension and Talents in Genshin Impact.
Talent Materials to Pre-Farm for Dahlia in Genshin Impact
Farming Talent Materials Can Take a While
Besides defeating Hilichurl Shooters for Arrowhead materials, you can acquire more from Paimon’s Bargains, though they have a monthly limit. Dahlia’s other Talent materials include Teachings of Ballad, Guide to Ballad, and Philosophies of Ballad, which can be farmed from the Forsaken Rift Domain in Mondstadt on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. These Talent books are notably time-consuming to gather, potentially requiring weeks or even months to collect everything needed.
The table below outlines all the leaked Talent materials for Dahlia in Genshin Impact, according to Honey Hunter World:

As you advance in Talent levels, you’ll need to gather weekly boss materials. According to leaks, Dahlia’s weekly boss material is Eroded Scale-Feather, obtained from the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire in Genshin Impact. You’ll need 18 of these, but due to weekly boss limits and the uncertain drop rates, it could take months to collect all the necessary copies.
Use a Dream Solvent at the Alchemy Table to convert any excess drops from the boss, like Eroded Horn or Eroded Sunfire, into Eroded Scale-Feather.
You’ll also need three Crowns of Insight, one for each Talent. These can be obtained from specific limited-time events, reputation systems, and the battle pass. Additionally, you can acquire one Crown of Insight each month at Paimon’s Bargains, provided you have the necessary resources. Collectively, the process of leveling up Dahlia’s Talents costs roughly five million Mora, so keep this in mind when farming in Mondstadt for the main currency in Genshin Impact.
