Dan Heng
Situational—Dan Heng is an early Wind Hunt ST tool. Ultimate “Ethereal Dream” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite. Best with Tingyun / Bronya. Slow from Ult; early-game Wind coverage. Skip when you have limited Wind DPS.
Dan Heng is a 4★ Wind The Hunt Main DPS. Skill “Cloudlancer Art: Torrent” is the primary in-combat spend. Ultimate “Ethereal Dream” is the payoff window for damage or team utility. This Phase 1 page covers kit text, gear targets, and pull notes—team comps stay empty until Phase 2.

Strengths
- “Ethereal Dream” dumps a huge single-target Wind multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Cloudlancer Art: Torrent” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Superiority of Reach” When Dan Heng becomes the target of an ally's ability, his next attack's Wind RES PEN increases by 45%—ignore it and Dan Heng plays like a worse generic The Hunt unit.
- Technique “Splitting Spearhead” buffs allies’ damage for a short window—skipping it is free damage left on the table.
Weaknesses
- “Ethereal Dream” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Dan Heng focuses the elite.
- As a 4★ The Hunt unit, Dan Heng is easy to gear for early/mid game but usually loses the niche race to a modern limited option once that banner is built.
- Spamming “Cloudlancer Art: Torrent” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Dan Heng is often the SP sink.
- If “Ethereal Dream” is still offline at the end of a MoC cycle, the build is usually Energy/ERR or rotation order—not a missing CRIT roll.
Trace Priority
Ethereal Dream carries most of the kit’s damage or utility—level this first.
Cloudlancer Art: Torrent supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Superiority of Reach supports the main rotation—raise after the top priority traces.
Cloudlancer Art: North Wind is last priority outside of filling trace materials.
Stat Priority
Open with Technique if it helps, spend Skill to advance the kit’s resource, and hold Ultimate for the damage or buff window. Exact teammate order lands in Phase 2.
Open supports first, then spend the carry’s Skill/Ult inside the buff window. Exact order varies by the team tab above.
Light Cones
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's CRIT Rate by 0.08%, and increases their CRIT Rate against enemies with HP percentage 0.5% or less by an extra 0.08%. When the wearer defeats an enemy, their ATK is increased by 0.2% for 2 turn(s).
Why it works —Strong The Hunt option for Dan Heng; use while farming or if signature is unavailable.
5★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's CRIT DMG by 0.3%. When the wearer's Basic ATK or Skill DMG does not result in a CRIT Hit, increases their CRIT Rate by 0.36%, lasting for 1 turn(s). This effect can only trigger once every 3 turn(s).
Why it works —Flexible alternative on the same path—equip if you already own it at higher superimposition.
4★ · Path cone
For each time the wearer hits the same target, DMG dealt increases by 0.08%, stacking up to 5 time(s). This effect will be dispelled when the wearer changes targets.
Why it works —Best accessible option for most accounts—raise superimposition when copies drop.
4★ · Path cone
Increases the wearer's ATK by 0.16%. If there are 2 or fewer enemies on the field, increases wearer's CRIT Rate by 0.12%.
Why it works —Budget path cone—fine while building the account.
Relics
Team Compositions
Primary hypercarry team for Dan Heng. Tingyun, Bronya, Huohuo are the partners the kit / endgame clears assume first.
Core carry for this shell — owns the damage plan and sets the rotation pace.
Tingyun is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
Bronya is the Advance / DMG amp — time their Skill/Ult for the carry’s damage window.
Huohuo covers healing (and often Energy / cleanse) so the carry can stay on-curve.
