Players will need a total of 139 Heaven Incinerator, 69 Starfire Essence and 18 Fiery Spirits to max all of her skill levels and unlock all of her additional abilities. Players can obtain these materials through the Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Nihility found in the Xianzhou Alchemy Commission.
Additionally, to level The Dahlia skills to the maximum level, players will need to obtain 8 Tracks of Destiny and 12 Vanquished Flow’s Reticence. Tracks of Destiny can be obtained through various means like events and special shops, while the Vanquished Flow’s Reticence can be obtained by defeating the Weekly Boss Echo of War: Rusted Crypt of the Iron Carcass.

For Relics and Ornament Sets, players should prepare relics from the Iron Cavalry Against the Scourge relic set and the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Ornament Set for The Dahlia as she is a Fire Elemental Break-centric character that can take full advantage of the relic and ornament set effects.
Honkai Star Rail The Dahlia Best Lightcones
To help players build The Dahlia as quickly as possible upon her release, here are some of The Dahlia’s best Lightcone options that players can prepare in advance:
The Dahlia Signature Lightcone – Never Forget Her Flame
Effect: Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 60%. When entering combat, increases Break DMG dealt by the wearer and another teammate who triggered combat by 32%. If there is no teammate who triggered combat, applies this effect to the wearer and the teammate with the highest Break Effect. Effects of the same type cannot be stacked. When the wearer applies Weakness to an enemy target, recovers 1 Skill Point. This effect can only trigger once, and trigger count resets when using Ultimate.
The Dahlia’s signature lightcone and her best in slot Lightcone that provides her with large amount of Break Effect she needs and massively boost the Break Damage dealt by her and the ally with the highest Break Effect, allowing The Dahlia to boost the damage output of the team even more simply by having the Lightcone. Additionally, it grants the Dahlia a Skill Point whenever she applies weaknesses on enemies, reducing The Dahlia’s SP cost and improves her damage rotation.
The Dahlia Best Alternative Lightcone – Long Road Leads Home
Effect: Increases the wearer’s Break Effect by 60%. When an enemy target’s Weakness gets broken, there is a 100% base chance to inflict the “Charring” state on it, which increases its Break DMG taken by 18%, lasting for 2 turn(s). This effect can stack 2 time(s).
An amazing alternative Lightcone option for The Dahlia that not only helps boost her Break Effect stat similar to her signature lightcone but also makes every enemy take more Break Damage overall whenever they get weakness broken. The utility and damage boosting effect this Lightcone provides is around the same potency as The Dahlia’s signature lightcone, making it the perfect substitute Lightcone for The Dahlia if you don’t have her signature Lightcone with only a slight damage decrease.
The Dahlia BP Lightcone Option – Holiday Thermae Escapade
Effect: Increases the wearer’s DMG dealt by 16%. After the wearer attacks, there is a 100% base chance that the attacked target is inflicted with Vulnerability, increasing the DMG they receive by 10% for 2 turn(s). The same effect type cannot be stacked.
An overall good optional Lightcone for The Dahlia that simply boosts her damage output and increases the damage taken by all enemies, helping to supplement the entire team’s damage output. Players can use this as a budget Lightcone for The Dahlia if you already have it in your inventory.
The Dahlia Best F2P Lightcone Option – Before the Tutorial Mission Starts
Effect: Increases the wearer’s Effect Hit Rate by 20%. When the wearer attacks DEF-reduced enemies, regenerates 4 Energy.
A generically amazing Lightcone for any Nihility characters due to its effect to constantly supply the user with Energy when attacking def-reduced enemies, helping The Dahlia to quickly cycle her Ultimate and help to deal more damage against enemies as quickly as possible.
