At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
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.
Sushang
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” dumps a huge single-target Physical multiplier into one elite—boss and Apocalyptic Shadow checks are where this Ultimate earns its trace levels.
- Skill “Cloudfencer Art: Mountainfall” dumps a large single-target multiplier into one elite—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
- Talent “Dancing Blade” When an enemy has their Weakness Broken on the field, Sushang's SPD increases by 22.5% for 2 turn(s)—ignore it and Sushang plays like a worse generic The Hunt unit.
- “Shape of Taixu: Dawn Herald” is single-target—multi-wave Pure Fiction asks the rest of the team to clear trash while Sushang focuses the elite.
