The Dahlia

"Your memories... are quite thorny. So, why don't we start with me laying my thoughts bare...? My name is Constance, and those who have fallen to my charms call me 'The Dahlia.' Don't be afraid. Come with me. In this duet belonging only to the two of us, you will learn how the past is being cremated and how the future is being buried..."

The sweet dream burns the Ever-Flame Mansion, erasing every fragment of her existence. Destruction. Remembrance... Along its path, blossoms of betrayal rise and bloom— To return to the dreamscape no one remembers, who will be the one to set her aflame again?

Rarity: 5-star | Path: Nihility | Combat Type: Fire

According to Seele, Constance, The Dahlia will debut as the sole limited 5-star character in Version 3.8. She is a member of the “Ever-Flame Mansion” and has an elegant Gothic-inspired style.

Predicted Role

The Dahlia is likely a dedicated Super Break support, designed to maximize Break Effect efficiency in team compositions. In HSR, characters that enhance Break often serve as buffer/support, enabling damage dealers to trigger additional effects when enemies are broken.

Team Synergy

• Primary Function: The Dahlia will likely excel at shortening the time required to break enemies’ shields or barriers, effectively boosting DPS characters who rely on Break-triggered effects.

• Synergy with Ranged DPS: Characters like Firefly or other Break-oriented damage dealers would benefit greatly from her presence, as she can help maintain high uptime on Break status.

• Elemental Compatibility: Given her Nihility path association, she might provide flexible support across elements, allowing her to integrate into multi-element teams for sustained Break applications.

New Leak Additions

• Firefly Synergy: The Dahlia can directly support Firefly (great fit for Super Break cores).

• Not for Elation: The Dahlia isn’t tied to Elation teams. Elation comps will get their own Elation support, so there’s no slot for Cyrene or The Dahlia there.

• Team Slot Impact: In Super Break teams, The Dahlia is expected to replace Ruan Mei — first in, first out.

Background Story

-Wait... Lady Dimitrescu, is that you?

The Dahlia (Constance) first appeared in the “Myriad Celestia Trailer — A Night of Ever-Flame: Scene 33” and features in Penacony-related story events. She survived Acheron’s assassination attempt on Duke Inferno and interacts with Black Swan through her memories, suggesting she knows Acheron’s identity as an Emanator. Her story further develops the Ever-Flame Mansion and the ongoing Penacony narrative.

Other Kids of Duke Inferno

According to the 2.0 PV, we learned that Duke Inferno have other 3 kids. Caterina The Shacklebound, Dubra The Scribe, and Akash The Tuner. Will they become playable in the upcoming banners? Very excited for that!
