Strengths & Weaknesses

Dan Heng

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.
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.

Feixiao

Strengths
  • “Terrasplit” dumps a huge single-target Wind multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
  • Talent “Thunderhunt” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Waraxe” builds into self-triggered Follow-Up ATKs—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • “Terrasplit” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Feixiao focuses the elite.
  • “Thunderhunt” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Feixiao below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • E0 without “I Venture Forth to Hunt” 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.
