At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Ashveil
- “Banquet: Insatiable Appetite” dumps a huge single-target Lightning multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Talent “Rancor: Enmity Reprisal” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—damage keeps flowing even when Ashveil is not the active turn.
- Skill “Flog: Smite Evil” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- “Banquet: Insatiable Appetite” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Ashveil focuses the elite.
- Follow-Ups from “Rancor: Enmity Reprisal” need allies who actually Basic ATK on schedule—freeze/CC on the team stalls Ashveil’s off-turn damage.
- E0 without “The Finale of a Lie” is still clearable, but the gap versus a signature copy is larger than a single eidolon for most The Hunt carries—plan the cone before deep eidolon hunting.
Dan Heng
- “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.
- “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.
