by Dan Heng is one of the first four-star characters that we will have for free as soon as we begin our adventures in Honkai Star Rail , he is a character from the Hunting Way and therefore his skill kit is based on doing high damage to a single enemy.
In addition to dealing pretty decent damage with his Basic Ability and especially his Ultimate, Dan Heng also has certain effects that can boost his damage and sabotage the enemy: his Basic Ability can slow down the target it hits, his Ultimate will do a higher damage if it affects the enemy with the slow state that we mentioned before and if an ally uses a Basic Ability on it it will boost its penetration to the Wind Resistance of the enemies.
Dan Heng also has a Technique that will help him a lot at the start of the fight, as it will increase his ATK by a good amount for three turns. As you can see, despite being a starting character, he has many ways to boost his damage and will give us a lot of help if we use him well between getting a more powerful 5-star hunting character.
That being said, below we will see a complete analysis of this character and of course his best Builds , Cones of Light, Artifacts, Ornaments and others. Let’s go there!
ATTRIBUTES OR STATS
These are the Attributes or Stats that Dan Heng will have at the maximum level:
- PV: 1023 882
- ATK: 511 546
- DEF: 463 396
- SPD: 106 110
The parameters of his statistics are pretty bad in general (especially the DEF which is very low) except for his SPD which is above average . Shusang for example belongs to the same lane as Dan Heng, he is another four star character and has superior stats in all parameters except SPD.
DAN HENG’S ABILITIES
These are all of Dan Heng’s Skills. The numbers/percentages are what he has at the lowest level:
BASIC ATK: CLOUD KNIGHT SPEAR – NORTH WIND
Deal 50% Wind Damage to a single enemy of your choice.
BASIC ABILITY: CLOUD KNIGHT SPEAR – TORRENT
- Basic Skill Point Consumption: 1
When using this Basic Skill we will inflict Wind Damage in proportion to 130% of Dan Heng’s ATK, if this skill inflicts a crit, we will have a 100% chance to reduce the enemy’s speed by 12% for 2 turns.
ULTIMATE ABILITY: ETHEREAL DREAM
- Energy Cost: 100
A powerful attack that deals 240% of Dan Heng’s ATK as Wind Damage to a single enemy; if the enemy is also affected by the Slow state , the damage of this Ultimate is increased by 72%.
TALENT: GREATER REACH
If an ally uses his Basic Ability on Dan Heng, he will increase his enemies’ Wind Resistance penetration by 23% for his next attack (this effect can be activated again after 2 turns).
TECHNIQUE: PIERCING SPEAR
Activating this Technique before starting a fight will increase Dan Heng’s ATK by 40% for 3 turns in said fight.
ADDITIONAL SKILLS
We can unlock them in the Strokes upon reaching a certain Ascension Level.
- Ascension Tier 2 – Hidden Dragon
- When Dan Heng’s HP is at 50% or less, he will have less chance of being attacked by an enemy.
- Ascension Tier 4 – Shadow of Despair
- After performing an attack on any enemy we will have a fixed 50% chance to increase Dan Heng’s SPD by 20% for 2 turns.
- Ascension Level 6 – Constellation
- +40% damage to Basic Attack for enemies affected by Slow.
EIDOLON
These are the improvements that the character obtains through the Eidolon:
- E1 – The Higher You Climb, the Harder the Fall : If the enemy we attack has half their HP or more, it increases the CRIT Chance by 12%.
- E2 – Control Evil and Extinguish Flame : Dan Heng’s Talent’s TOE is reduced by one turn.
- E3 – Seen and Unseen : +2 levels to Basic Ability and +1 to Basic Attack.
- E4 – Roaring Dragon and Scorching Sun : When the Ultimate kills an enemy, Dan Heng’s next turn is advanced by 100%.
- E5 – A Drop of Rain Feeds the Torrent : +2 levels to Ultimate and Talent.
- E6 – Tormented Soul on Standby : Dan Heng’s Basic Ability Slows enemies by 8%.
His Eidolons help him improve the performance of his skill kit a bit, but honestly, they don’t give him any great improvements. The one that stands out a little more is the E4 that will give us another turn when we eliminate an enemy with the Ultimate.
DAN HENG’S BEST BUILD
It is another Main DPS focused on dealing damage to a single character, so we will seek to increase the typical parameters of CRIT Chance, CRIT Damage, ATK% and others to increase its damage as much as possible .
BEST LIGHT CONES
These are the best Light Cones for Dan Heng sorted from best to worst (they all come highly recommended anyway) and trying to add both 5-star and 4-star options. Here we will list the effects in Level 1 Overlay.
- At Night ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +18% Critical Chance. For every 10 points of Speed that its wielder has once the 100 border is exceeded, the damage of the Basic Attack and Basic Ability will increase by 6% while the Critical Damage of the Ultimate Ability will increase by 12% (this effect is can stack 6 times max).
- Game of Swords ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: When the bearer of this Cone of Light hits the same target multiple times, it increases the damage dealt to that enemy by 8%. This effect can be stacked up to five times and will be lost if we change targets.
- Star Cruiser ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: +8% Critical Chance and the effect is doubled if we attack an enemy that has half its Life or less. Each time its wearer kills an enemy, its Attack will increase by 20% for 2 turns.
- Only Silence Remains ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +16% to Attack. If there are only 2 or fewer enemies on the battlefield, the Critical Chance is increased by 12%.
- Return to Darkness ⭐⭐⭐⭐: +12% Critical Chance. After landing a critical hit there is a 16% chance to nullify a positive effect the enemy has (this effect can only be activated once per attack).
BEST ARTIFACTS AND ORNAMENTS
We will start with the Artifacts and Ornaments. These are the statistics that we recommend for each piece in order to maximize its damage.
- Torso : CRIT Chance / CRIT Damage.
- Legs : Speed / ATK %.
- Plane Sphere : Wind Damage.
- Binding Rope : Energy or ATK Recovery %.
Substats:
- Prob. CRIT.
- CRIT Damage
- ATK %.
- SPEED
- Break effect.
Your best Artifact Set would be the following:
twilight eagle
- 2 pieces: +10% Wind Damage.
- 4 pieces: When the wielder of this artifact set uses their Ultimate, their next turn will be advanced by 25%.
And now his best Ornament Sets:
Fleet of the Eternals
- 2 pieces: +12% ATK and +12% bonus ATK if character has 120 or more Speed.
The Critical Chance will always come in handy to build Dan Heng and since we must reach at least 50% of it, we can take advantage of the 15% damage increase for his Ultimate Ability (which is his main source of damage). .
inert salsotto
- 2 pieces: +8% to CRIT Chance. When the amount of CRIT Chance of the wearer of this set of ornaments reaches 50% or more, the damage dealt by the Ultimate and Extra Attacks are increased by 15%.
This set of ornaments is another alternative that can come in handy for our Dan Heng, since his SPD parameter is quite high, he will have no problem getting the full +24% ATK bonus.
