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.

Trailblazer (Preservation)

Strengths
  • Ultimate “War-Flaming Lance” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Skill “Ever-Burning Amber” scales DMG Reduction with low HP and locks max reduction in the burst state—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
  • Talent “Treasure of the Architects” Blast-hits the main target plus adjacent enemies—miss the stack conditions and the burst window feels empty.
Weaknesses
  • Shield value falls when content is a pure damage race or when the carry already has invulnerability frames—over-building Trailblazer (Preservation)’s relics delays the DPS sets that actually end cycles.
  • Trailblazer (Preservation)’s best Light Cone usually shares the character banner—E0S0 on a strong path cone still clears, but expect a noticeable gap until the signature (or a close path alternative) is online.
  • Spamming “Ever-Burning Amber” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Trailblazer (Preservation) is often the SP sink.
