There exist team defining characters in Genshin Impact. Then there exist characters like Dahlia, who never takes the limelight but instead shapes the theme, subtly directing how a team flows into attack and sustains it.
Dahlia is a 4-star Hydro sword designation introduced in Version 5.7 with a peculiar shield-attack speed play. These types of dual stars give him the power to just creep into rosters and seamlessly change how they work, without ever demanding center stage.What makes Dahlia special is the deadly combination of a shield that scales off HP and activates on Burst, and an attack speed buff that, while not flashy, ties very much into Normal Attack-focused compositions.
The Freeze Engine: Skirk, Escoffier, Furina, and Dahlia
Speed and synergy are the major advantages these Freeze teams have. Dahlia is not just about shielding; he is all about speed, which fits perfectly with fast-paced Normal Attack characters like Skirk, a Cryo DPS. The speedy party also includes Escoffier, who reduces Cryo resistance of the enemies so.Dahlia looks like this team's final piece.

Elemental Overdrive: Wanderer, Fischl, Xingqiu, and Dahlia
Freeze is where the control and overwhelm side get such orders. Wanderer is an elemental damage dealer, hitting Normal Attacks at a speed that has little distinguishing so far.
Fischl and Xingqiu set Electro and Hydro off-field applications for a never-ending Electro-Charged reaction.Though Dahlia has less to do with Freeze mechanics than enabling, his speed buff stacks with those from Wanderer's artifacts and catalyst weapon, while his shield keeps this fragile Anemo unit on the field longer. So, what develops then are more of a sort of elemental symphony with Wanderer conducting, and Dahlia as metronome.
Raging Physical: Razor, Yun Jin, Mika, and Dahlia
Not every single team needs to rally behind reactions. In one of the less expected but more exciting compositions in existence, having Razor and Dahlia direct the extremes of Normal Attack Speed. Yun Jin buffs the raw damage of Razor's attacks, Mika comes along with additional Physical DMG and more speed, while Dahlia finishes them off with yet another 20% ATK SPD and a protective shield.It is probably not the most conventional composition, but watching Razor zipping around the battlefield at nearly twice his usual speed is exhilarating.
It's a physical DPS showcase with one very clear objective: attack first.
