Dahlia Guide

Core combat tags for formation and element planning.

Dahlia — Ex(?)-Thief Mining Girl — is an SR bridge unit from Thousand Nations Alliance. SR characters fill your early 10-slot formation cheaply and several remain useful after SSR cores arrive. Available from premium gacha, pickup banners and the 12-SSR select pool (if SSR).

• Rarity — SR; solid 12% SR rate filler.
• Faction — Thousand Nations Alliance; see same-faction allies below for team-building ideas.
• Availability — Standard gacha pool.
• Tier snapshot — Dahlia is valued for Back Earth coverage, not tier rank.
• Pull strategy — do not roll specifically; dupes come naturally.

Dahlia plays as a Back Earth unit with the Impact (衝撃) emblem. Back-line attacker who spends Impact stacks for burst damage — needs a generator on Front or Assist. In auto-battle defense, slot Dahlia on the Back line of your 10-unit formation — their epithet "Ex(?)-Thief Mining Girl" reflects a Thousand Nations Alliance kit built for early-to-mid content.

• Formation slot — Back row; protect with tanks on Front.
• Element coverage — Earth matches certain Calamity weaknesses; swap Dahlia when defense element charts demand it.
• Emblem loop — Impact needs stacks — pair with generators (Wendy, Nina, Pico) or another Impact source.
• Skill priority — level Dahlia's stance skills before off-element flex units; SR/R skills cap lower — invest only to floor breakpoints.
• Synergy — Thousand Nations Alliance allies listed below often share buff routes or aesthetic team themes.

Locate Dahlia inside Dot Abyss through the standard roster menus. Japanese players know the unit as ダリア — search the character album if romanization differs.

• Formation screen — Frontline Base → Formation. Owned units show stance, element and emblem icons.
• Character album — greyed portrait means seen but not recruited; full color means owned.
• Gacha details — banner rate-up lists show whether the unit is currently featured.
• Wiki cross-ref — compare Dahlia's stats table on this page with the full character database.
• Tavern roster — recruited girls appear here for bond and shift assignment.

Protect your investment in Dahlia by understanding availability (Standard gacha pool) and spending materials only when the unit fits your 10-slot plan. SR/R units are replaceable; never outspend your SSR core for a bridge slot.

• Availability lock-in — standard pool units can be duplicated over time.
• Account link — bind DMM after roster settles; unlinked saves are lost on device failure.
• Material funnel — excess SR/R dupes into the general altar; keep one copy for bond.
• Gear locks — lock good stat rolls before foddering duplicate equipment.
• Reroll caution — account deletion wipes all progress; finish rerolling before investing bond gifts.

Completing Dahlia's build means leveling skills, securing gear with the right stat rolls, and hitting bond milestones for permanent stat points. Dahlia is a Earth / Back / Impact (衝撃) unit — every upgrade choice should reinforce that role.

Optimize Dahlia for launch-week defense and idle clears. Dahlia punches above SR weight in Back slots until SSR coverage arrives.

• Defense template — slot Dahlia on Back; 4–5 Back DPS.
• Emblem meta — pair with Impact economy — see formation guide.
• Element swap — keep Dahlia benched when Calamity element chart punishes Earth.
• Upgrade order — invest after S-tier cores are online.
• Next steps — compare with tier list and formation guide.
