Danjin
Scarlet Shade
Free—Danjin is a Havoc amp / self-harm Sub DPS. Liberation “Crimson Bloom” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool. Best with Camellya / Verina / Taoqi. HP-spend routing wants sustain that lets her keep attacking—panic heals cancel the kit. Skip when premium Havoc units already cover the niche.
Danjin is a 4★ Havoc Sub DPS who fights with a Sword. Liberation “Crimson Bloom” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool. Forte “Serene Vigil” ramps waltz stacks into mid-air Havoc Forte payoff. Outro “Duality” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff.

Strengths
- Liberation “Crimson Bloom” deals a focused attribute damage hit as the named setup tool — that window is where Danjin’s clear speed actually shows up.
- Forte “Serene Vigil” ramps waltz stacks into mid-air Havoc Forte payoff, so resource banking is mandatory, not optional filler.
- Outro “Duality” amplifies the incoming Resonator’s damage on Outro handoff — swap timing is part of the damage plan, not just Concerto filling.
- Aerial / plunge routes give flexible dodge and reposition options mid-combo.
Weaknesses
- Needs a real on-fielder to cash out coordinated / Off-field hits — Danjin is not a full clear unit alone.
- Energy and Forte “Serene Vigil” tuning feel awkward until Concerto breakpoints are learned.
- 4★ ceiling is real — expect to rotate them out when a premium option takes the same niche.

Team Compositions
Phrolova core with Danjin: Lucilla is the Dual-DPS / quickswap partner. Danjin opens Stellarealm / heals, then Phrolova takes the buffed damage window. Ideally use Cantarella in the 2nd slot, Outro buffing Phrolova.
In Phrolova teams, Danjin is able to fill in nicely for any missing field time as she can adjust between long and short rotations depending on the situation.
Danjin is the off-field / swap amp — coordinated pressure and Outro into Phrolova before their Liberation.
Lucilla shares field time with Phrolova — trade Intro / Outro so both Liberation windows get amp coverage.
