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.

Seele

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Butterfly Flurry” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—most of the kit’s damage lives inside that window, not on filler Basics.
  • “Resurgence” enters an Amplification / extra-turn damage window—cleaving a trash mob can snowball into another full Skill/Ult cycle.
  • Skill “Sheathed Blade” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • E0 without “In the Night” 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.
  • Extra-turn and single-target Ultimate patterns shine on bosses but stall in Pure Fiction unless adds die fast enough to proc the talent loop.
  • Spamming “Sheathed Blade” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Seele is often the SP sink.
