Strengths & Weaknesses

Da Pan

Strengths
  • Battle Skill "FLIP DA WOK!" — SKILL DESCRIPTION: Takes out a wok, quickly charges it up, and performs a powerful wok flip that deals Physical DMG and Lift to the enemy.
  • Combo Skill "MORE SPICE!" — COMBO TRIGGER: When an enemy reaches 4 stacks of Vulnerability. SKILL DESCRIPTION: Swings the wok at the enemy to deal massive Physical DMG and Crush. This Crus
  • Ultimate "CHOP 'N DUNK!" — SKILL DESCRIPTION: Da Pan slams the chopping board to forcibly Lift all enemies in the area of effect in front of him. This is followed by a 6-sequence flurry o
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.

Mi Fu

Strengths
  • Battle Skill "Qingbo Triplex" — SKILL DESCRIPTION: Keep casting Mi Fu's battle skill to unleash 3 different moves. The first battle skill cast is Cloudtrapper. MOVE 1 - Cloudtrapper: Costs 100
  • Combo Skill "Fists of No Regrets" — COMBO TRIGGER: When an enemy has 3 or more Vulnerability stacks. SKILL DESCRIPTION: Mi Fu unleashes a devastating uppercut at the enemy, dealing Physical DMG an
  • Ultimate "Pile of No Mercy" — SKILL DESCRIPTION: After a short power up, Mi Fu dashes forward to forcibly Lift a target into mid-air, then slams the said target to deal Physical DMG. After c
Weaknesses
  • Needs the right element pairing — off-element squads leave Mi Fu's kit half-used.
  • Investment cost is real before the kit feels smooth in longer fights.

Shared Team Members

With Da Pan

Pogranichnik amps Physical Vulnerability and Physical DMG. He is the Vanguard seat that makes Da Pan's Physical dump windows worth taking.

With Mi Fu

Pogranichnik amps Vulnerability and Physical DMG — the buff window Mi Fu's Crush dump is built to take.

With Da Pan

Chen Qianyu opens Physical setups with Lift and Stagger. She creates the Crush / Vulnerability windows Da Pan needs before the big Physical dump.

With Mi Fu

Chen Qianyu Staggers and Lifts so Crush/Vulnerability actually sticks before Mi Fu spends her burst.

With Da Pan

Rossi converts Vulnerability uptime into Physical clear speed. Beside Da Pan, she is a second Physical damage pillar that wants the same Vulnerability setup.

With Mi Fu

Rossi is a second Physical damage pillar on the same Vulnerability uptime — she clears with Mi Fu rather than enabling her.
