Arsenal[]

Dahlia plays as an all-around Support rogue, playing different roles in each situation she faces. Her great offensive and defensive capabilities make her a very versatile threat.

Weapons[]

Objection: An SMG that excels at close range because of its extremely fast fire rate. Although, that very reason is why this weapon is map dependent, mainly to be used in close areas (corridors, small fields, small rooms, etc.) to be effective. Dahlia can take down enemies very quickly with this weapon and can provide great cover fire when backing up teammates in close engagements.
MX-R: A longer ranged weapon for Dahlia, allowing her to be one of the few Rogues in the game that can swap between short-ranged and long-ranged weapons for different engagements. This weapon is useful for backing up teammates when at a further distance and it's damage paired with it's fire rate makes it a good weapon. It's recoil is low, making it an easier DMR to use for most users.
Executioner: A well-rounded secondary weapon that fits almost any situation when needed of use. It deals moderate damage and behaves as a short ranged DMR, offering versatility to mid distances as well as further distances. However, it is fairly difficult to control and has one of the longest reload times of other pistols.

Abilities[]

Danger Closer: Dahlia's main ability, which allows her to link to teammates and revive them. She can revive them from afar, with a maximum distance of 30 meters, and will not be in a vulnerable state while doing so. With her passive, she can visualize her linked ally's health bar and distance between the both of them. The distance (in meters) changes color depending how far you are from your teammate:
- Blue (0-20 m): You are close to your teammate.
- Yellow (21-30 m): You and your teammate are somewhat far from one another.
- Red (31-∞ m): You are not within range of your teammate.
Buddy System: Dahlia's passive ability, which allows Dahlia to gain the passive of her linked teammate. Some Rogues have good passives, whilst others have lesser effective ones. A list of passive from effective to ineffective:

Rogues you should prioritize to obtain a passive from: Kestrel, Lancer, Mack, Phantom, Saint, Trench and Umbra.
Rogues with passives outclassed by the ones mentioned, but still useful: Glimpse, Switchblade and Vy.
Rogues with situational passives: Anvil, Dallas, Gl1tch, Ronin, Runway, Scorch, Sigrid and The Fixer.
Rogues with mediocre passives and usually avoidable: Cannon, Chaac, Dima, Juke, Seeker and Talon.

Gadgets[]

Grenade: A simple yet very effective tool, used to clear out groups of enemies and give advantage to her team.
Active Protection System: To balance her offense and defense capabilities, Dahlia is also equipped with an APS. A very effective tool used to neutralize projectiles, including lethal gadgets, utility gadgets, and projectile abilities such as Dima's MIRV Launcher, Switchblade's Chaos Launcher, Seeker's Arrow, etc. It proves to be an excellent defensive tool to prevent enemy advantage.

Perks[]

Dahlia's rare perks provide bonuses to her damage output, whilst her epic and legendary perks are focused on a combination of improving her survivability and effectiveness to her ability. Overall, her perks maximizes her capabilities as a combative healer.
- Shredder Rounds, Crackshot and Blaster all increase Dahlia's damage output, providing her combat benefits to takedown enemies easier.
- Bounce Back and Tenacity improves Dahlia's survivability. As a support Rogue, one should prioritize staying alive to provide as much support that they can to their teammates.
- Lifeline and Energized provides effectiveness to Dahlia's ability, allowing her to consistently revive teammates in multi-life game modes.

Strategy[]

Dahlia is easily the most versatile Rogue, able to adapt to any situation when paired with the right team. She is a support Rogue that is best effective when engaging the enemy by the sides of her teammates. When executing strategies accordingly, Dahlia and her team can create some very impressive plays.

Notable Strengths[]

Great versatility at both defense and attack;
Great at providing backup with allies against multiple enemies;
Excels at reviving teammates and giving them support.

Notable Weaknesses[]

Potential to be outclassed by Saint;
Needs Lifeline to be effective;
High dependency on her teammates and ability.

Synergies & Counters[]

Rogue	Passive	Synergy
Anvil	Gain immunity from disorient and blind effects.	Linking with Anvil can be a considerable option if the enemies are overwhelmingly using flashbangs or they have a strategic Mack who can use his ability more than reasonably. This is not a famous pick, but can work if the enemy Rogue that uses flashbangs are giving you a hard time.
Cannon	Landing shots has a chance to return ammo to your current magazine, if your Gatling Gun is equipped, its duration is extended slightly.	Linking with Cannon is very ill-advised, since his passive is way too situational and not reliable. Dahlia already has a decent amount of ammunition on both of her weapons, besides the Replenish perk. Though, it would be a bonus as additional use of ammunition, it is barely effective.
Chaac	While downed, gain increased health and the ability to dodge roll.	Linking with Chaac is usually ill-advised, since it doesn't provide great benefits to Dahlia. The most common situation this happens is when playing with a friend, but there are definitely better options to choose over him.
Dallas	Recharge your ability upon downing an enemy.	Linking with Dallas makes you able to revive him almost all the time as long as you are near him, since downing enemies is usually not a problem to Dahlia. Similarly to Chaac, he is commonly chosen when playing with a friend, but it can be a good option on Demolition, since you'll be able to revive your linked ally more than once in a round.
Dima	Enemies hit by explosives are revealed for a short duration.	Linking with Dima is generally not recommended because it doesn't exactly fit Dahlia's gameplay style, thus, she is only equipped with a single grenade, capable of causing damage on her loadout. Therefore, Dima's passive is likely to be overlooked at most times.
Gl1tch	Detect nearby enemy equipment, even through walls.	Linking with Gl1tch is often times circumstantial, only useful when the enemy has numerous equipment, such as Tripmines, Sticky Sensors, Ronin's explosive knife, Talon's radar dart, etc; not the best, but not the worst.
Glimpse	Your genetically engineered senses are dramatically heightened, allowing you to periodically detect enemies around you.	Linking with Glimpse generally provides great advantage for Dahlia, as well as fit her gameplay. It tends to work better on maps with narrow spaces and walls, and also a good amount of covers the enemy could use to hide.
Juke	When a charge is available, your dodge roll is replaced by a rocket dash that travels further and faster. Can be used mid-air.	Linking with Juke not ideal, considering that it only boosts her mobility. If you were to seek out exceptional movement, it would be a good pick, but it does not provide any benefit to the team.
Kestrel	Gain 500 extra cash per down.	Linking with Kestrel would definitely guarantee a hard time to the enemies even more. Having two teammates gaining extra money for each down and allowing both of you to buy perks and equipment faster will keep you and Kestrel steps ahead of the enemies.
Lancer	Activating dodge roll reloads your currently equipped weapon.	Linking with Lancer would nearly make Dahlia a Duelist, since worrying about reloading would be the last of her thoughts. She is a famous pick by most players, since her passive synergizes very well with the Objection, also the most chosen primary of Dahlia's loadout.
Mack	Start the game with 25 armor. Downing enemies instantly repairs this armor.	Linking with Mack adds Dahlia's survivability. Gaining a free 25 armor on top of Tenacity and Bounce Back. Along with Replenish, this has the potential to be a very strong combo.
Phantom	Damaging an enemy delays their health regeneration.	Linking with Phantom gives Dahlia a very useful passive, delaying enemy's health regeneration further when she damages them. While not the best synergy, it is certainly not a bad one, and could be useful on less active matches, where people tend to not over-commit to fights and poke.
Ronin	Immune to reveals and enemy radar detection.	Linking with Ronin when going against Intel Rogues would make their abilities and gadgets useless, allowing the two of you to become unpredictable and possibly outwitting your enemies without the fear of being revealed.
Runway	Carry two primary weapons.	Linking with Runway heavily depends on how much you like Dahlia's weapon classes. It is not recommended in case you are not a fan of both, but can lead to interesting strategies if you feel otherwise.
Saint	Reviving a teammate heals both of you for a significant amount.	Linking with Saint gives Dahlia an insane synergy with her ability and role, which allows her to revive her teammates with additional health, on top of the Lifeline perk which Dahlia can acquire. Saint is a very useful rogue, and as such, reviving him provides a lot of gain for the team.
Scorch	Immune to fire.	Linking with Scorch is heavily situational, and should only be an option if the enemy team has a lot of fire devices (Incendiary Grenades, enemy Switchblade or Scorch) or if the other teammates' passives provides less benefits.
Seeker	Projectiles deal 2x damage when bounced.	Linking with Seeker requires mastering the ability of using Dahlia's Grenade as a Bounce Grenade. Because of this, it is overall not recommended if you are not familiar with this strategy.
Sigrid	Immune to slowing effects and move faster while crouched.	Linking with Sigrid should only be considered if the enemy team has a lot of slowing effects (Vy's Vile Poison, Trench's Barbed Wire), but it is not a popular pick, since Dahlia doesn't need to push through these traps and could easily just avoid them.
Switchblade	Gain increased movement speed after using your ability or gadgets.	Linking with Switchblade is more dependent on the player's playstyle, due to the fact this would give Dahlia movement speed on reviving Switchblade with her ability, and when throwing tacticals. Movement speed bonus is never bad, but if the player tends to stand still, it becomes a waste.
Talon	Pick up and reclaim items from range.	Linking with Talon is situational as it offers a very specific ability which Dahlia benefits from if she misplaces an Active Protection System or needs to quickly and discreetly snag the bomb in Demolition.
The Fixer	Your firearm damage ignores enemy armor.	Linking with The Fixer is acceptable, considering that at most times, enemies will likely have armor. This will also make powerful enemies such as Anvil or Cannon less difficult to takedown. In additional, Dahlia could spare $5,000 and gain another perk or upgrade quicker because Shedder Rounds would have no use unless you were destroying enemy equipment.
Trench	Carry an additional gadget.	Linking with Trench depends on the player's ability of gaining benefit from correctly using gadgets. If that's not the type of gameplay you are used to, maybe try to link with someone else.
Umbra	Gain max health when you earn a down or assist on an enemy,	Linking with Umbra gives Dahlia the possibility to get 25 extra maximum health, which can be greatly useful for her, considering she does not have the Headstrong perk. Having this extra points of health and not armor also means that it passively regenerates up to this much, making Dahlia much more resilient.
Vy	A portion of the damage you deal with firearms is returned to you as maximum health until you reach 125 maximum health.	Linking with Vy has the same utility as Umbra, but with a different condition - instead of downs, it is based on Dahlia's damage. Same points stand.

General Strategies[]

If you are not confident about which teammate you should link to, pay attention to their gameplay and see if they are playing well and working together as a team.
Be careful when using her ability. Some enemies might trick you into using it by not eliminating your linked ally, then proceeding to down them again as soon as they get up.

Trivia[]

Dahlia's code name in the game's files is "Netanya".
Dahlia is the only rogue with an ability to change her passive.
Although Dahlia has three kunais sheathed on her left leg, they are never used in-game.
Before January 11th, 2022's update, Vy's passive ability was completely useless to Dahlia.
- On the aforementioned update, Vy's old passive got integrated into her ability while she gained a new passive, now usable by Dahlia.
