Core Mechanics: What Makes the Constance HSR Kit Unique?
The defining strength of The Dahlia HSR kit lies in:
- Convert Toughness Reduction into Super Break DMG
- Trigger Super Break before Weakness Break
- Increase team-wide Weakness Break Efficiency
- Implant additional Weaknesses via Ultimate and passives
These mechanics strongly align with trends seen in HSR 3.8 leaks, positioning The Dahlia as a long-term, meta-relevant support.
The Dahlia Skill Kit Overview
The Dahlia Skill kit is built around enabling Super Break and improving Break consistency rather than dealing raw damage. Each ability in the Constance HSR kit contributes to Break uptime, Toughness conversion, or team synergy, making her especially effective in coordinated The Dahlia teams.
Basic ATK - Fiddle… Fissured Memory
- Type: Single Target
- Element: Fire
- Toughness Reduction: 10
Deals Fire DMG to one enemy. Mainly used for Skill Point recovery, as most of The Dahlia’s value comes from her Skill, Talent, and Ultimate.
Skill - Lick… Enkindled Betrayal
Type: Blast
Key Mechanic: Zone Deployment
Zone Effects:
- Increases all allies’ Weakness Break Efficiency
- Converts Toughness Reduction dealt to non-Weakness Broken enemies into Super Break DMG
This Zone is the core mechanic of The Dahlia HSR Kit, enabling consistent Super Break damage across all combat phases.
Ultimate - Wallow… Entombed Ash
Type: AoE Fire
Toughness Reduction: 20
Wilt Effects:
- Reduces enemy DEF
- Applies Weakness types matching all active Dance Partners
This Ultimate greatly improves elemental coverage and Break reliability in multi-element teams.
Talent - Who’s Afraid of Constance?
This section introduces the unique Dance Partner mechanic.
Key Effects:
- Two allies become Dance Partners at combat start
- Attacks on Weakness Broken enemies convert Toughness Reduction into Super Break DMG
- When the other Dance Partner attacks, The Dahlia triggers a Fire Follow-Up ATK (once per turn)
- Follow-Up converts to Super Break DMG if the target is Broken
This Talent rewards Break Effect investment and precise turn coordination, forming the backbone of optimized The Dahlia teams.
Technique - The Heart Makes the Finest Tomb
- Deploys the Skill Zone immediately upon entering combat
- Converts initial Toughness damage into Super Break DMG
This gives Honkai: Star Rail The Dahlia strong opening pressure in Memory of Chaos and wave-based content.
Bonus Ability
This section breaks down into three core parts, as shown below.
Yet Another Funeral
Yet Another Funeral allows The Dahlia to convert her own Break Effect into a team-wide Break buff, making her scaling directly tied to Break investment. This Trace is especially valuable in longer fights, reinforcing The Dahlia HSR kit as a sustained Break support rather than a one-time buffer.
Lament, Lost Soul
Lament, Lost Soul improves Skill Point economy by restoring SP through The Dahlia’s Talent-based Follow-Up ATKs. This ensures smoother rotations for The Dahlia teams, allowing Break-focused DPS units to maintain high Skill uptime without resource strain.
Outgrow the Old, Espouse the New
Outgrow the Old, Espouse the New boosts team tempo by granting SPD and Energy when Weakness is implanted. Its Fire synergy further enhances Break rotations, making it a key Trace for HSR 3.8 Break-oriented team compositions.

The Dahlia (Constance) Eidolons Overview - HSR 3.8
The Eidolons in The Dahlia HSR kit are designed to enhance Super Break performance and team synergy, not to lock her core mechanics behind upgrades. Even at E0, Honkai: Star Rail The Dahlia (Constance) functions as a complete Super Break enabler, while higher Eidolons provide smoother rotations and stronger damage scaling.
Eidolon Effects at a Glance
| E1 - Zone Optimization | Improves Skill Zone effectiveness, making Super Break DMG easier to trigger and more consistent early in combat. |
| E2 - Dance Partner Enhancement | Strengthens Dance Partner interactions, increasing Super Break frequency during coordinated attacks. |
| E3 - Skill Scaling Upgrade | Boosts Skill performance, enhancing overall Break efficiency without changing rotations. |

| E6 - Full Break Support Potential | Maximizes Dance Partner synergy and Super Break uptime, turning The Dahlia into a top-tier Break support for endgame content. |
Eidolon Recommendation:
- Best Starting Point: E0 (fully playable)
- Best Value Upgrade: E4
- Maximum Performance: E6
