Da Pan
Hongshan Academy of Sciences (HAS)
Main Strength · Sub Will
Da Pan is a real Physical Striker, but he sits below Mi Fu and Rossi on the Monument damage ladder. He can hold a Physical slot while you save for a crush carry, or cover a second team when the account needs two Physical clears. Do not burn limited pity on him if Mi Fu or Rossi is available; do consider him if you specifically like the kit and already own the Physical enablers he needs.
Da Pan is a 5★ Physical Main DPS (Great Sword). Da Pan's playstyle is very straight forward.

Weaknesses
- Wants dedicated setup time — dropping Da Pan into a random squad without infliction / stagger support softens the damage window.
- Field-time sensitive; heavy multi-DPS rotations can truncate the dump.

Weapons
Strength Boost [L] · Attack Boost [L]
Physical DMG Dealt +16/28.8/44.8%. When the wielder applies Physical Susceptibility, the wielder gains Arts Intensity +30/54/84 for 20.00s. When the wielder applies Crush, the wielder gains Physical DMG Dealt +[9/16.2/25.2% + (3/5.4/8.4% Ã Max number of Vulnerability stacks consumed from one enemy)] for 30.00s. The two effects apply separately and do not stack with themselves.
Why it works —Amaranthine Tassel is Mi Fu's Signature Weapon. However, it also perfectly aligns with Da Pan, since he work practically the same exact way as Mi Fu does.
Strength Boost [L] · Arts Intensity Boost [L]
Physical DMG Dealt +7/12.6/19.6%. When the wielder casts battle skills or combo skills, the wielder gains Physical DMG Dealt +5.5/9.9/15.4% for 20.00s. Max stacks for effects of the same name: 3.00. Duration of each stack is counted separately. Effect only triggers once every 0.1s.
Why it works —Phantom Pain is a Protocol Pass weapon intended for Mi Fu. However, as his kit works near identically to Mi Fu's kit, this makes this weapon a perfect fit for Da Pan as well.
Strength Boost [M] · Arts Intensity Boost [M]
Arts Intensity +10/18/28. After the wielder consumes Vulnerability stack(s), the wielder gains Physical DMG Dealt +[5/9/14%ÃStacks Consumed] for 20.00s. Effects of the same name cannot stack.
Why it works —Ancient Canal is Da Pan's signature weapon. This weapon's Potential Skill drastically increases the damage output of Da Pan's Combo Skill, which is his highest priority Skill.
Main Attribute Boost [L] · Attack Boost [L]
Physical DMG Dealt +10/18/28%. When the wielder's battle skill or ultimate hits the enemy, the wielder gains Physical DMG Dealt +10/18/28% for 30.00s. Max stacks for effects of the same name: 3.00. Duration of each stack is counted separately. Effect only triggers once every 0.1s.
Why it works —Exemplar is a powerful 6-star weapon to use on Da Pan. He'll stack on more damage every time he uses his Battle Skill or Ultimate, for a very high final multiplier to all his Physical damage.

Team Compositions
Da Pan Crush Striker with Rossi on Vulnerability: Gilberta/Perlica add Arts amp and utility when you want a denser Physical-plus-Arts clear.
Da Pan is the Crush Striker — take the Vulnerability windows the supports open and finish with Crush.
Rossi converts Vulnerability uptime into Physical clear speed. Beside Da Pan, she is a second Physical damage pillar that wants the same Vulnerability setup.
Gilberta applies Arts Susceptibility and Nature enablement, then amps the dump with her Ultimate. She is the premium Arts support seat next to Da Pan.
Perlica is the Electric enabler. Battle Skill applies Electric Infliction on demand; Combo Skill applies Electrification on Final Strike so Electric kits like Da Pan's can actually function.
