Strengths & Weaknesses

Dan Heng · Permansor Terrae

Strengths
  • Ultimate “A Dragon's Zenith Knows No Rue” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Talent “Of Virtue, Forms Unfold” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Terra Omnibus” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • “Of Virtue, Forms Unfold” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Dan Heng · Permansor Terrae below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Dan Heng · Permansor Terrae’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
  • Spamming “Terra Omnibus” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Dan Heng · Permansor Terrae is often the SP sink.

Gepard

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Enduring Bulwark” applies a Shield that absorbs incoming damage—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Daunting Smite” rolls a base-chance debuff that wants Effect Hit Rate—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • “Unyielding Will” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
Weaknesses
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Enduring Bulwark”, Gepard spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Gepard’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
  • Spamming “Daunting Smite” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Gepard is often the SP sink.
