Back to Honkai Star Rail again. Here I will bring you a complete Dan Heng guide. As a Wind Hunt unit, Dan Heng can use his skills to slow down enemies and deal with a lot of damage. And this guide can help you understand Dan Heng in all aspects.

Basic Info & Ability

Now let’s start with his basic attack, which is just your standard basic attack with two Effect Hits. Nothing special here. His skills can cause 4 wind damage of Effect Hit to a single enemy. And you can easily stack Swordplay damage bonus.

It also has a 100% base chance to reduce enemy SPD by 12%, which is especially useful for delayed actions. That way, you can get one more hit to break the enemy before they can use their enhanced attack.

By the way, for those who don’t know what an Effect Hit is, it’s like how many times a character hits when using a basic attack, skill or ultimate.

Next, Dan Heng’s ultimate can deal massive wind damage to a single enemy. But you better not use his ultimate until the enemy has slowed down, because the amount of damage you lose will be insane.

Next, we have his talent, so how does that work? You only need to cast a skill, like AOE like Natasha ultimate or Bailu ultimate. After that, you can get a Wind Resistance Penetration buff.

Note that this buff cannot be Snapshot. What I mean is, if you cast ultimate directly after casting a skill, your ultimate cannot have Wind Resistance Penetration. The basic information about him is over. Now let’s talk about his Traces and his Traces priority.

Traces Info

The first major Traces is “Hidden Dragon,” unlocked after Ascension 2. Whenever Dan Heng drops below 50% of health, he will be targeted less often. But the reduction in the number of times it targeted him does not mean that he will not be attacked at all, AOE attacks can still damage him.

His next major Traces are “Faster Than Light,” unlocked after Ascension 4. After launching an attack, there is a 50% fixed chance to increase your speed by 20% for 2 rounds.

His last major Traces are “High Gale,” which grants 40% increased damage to slowed enemies with basic attacks. Dan Heng kit is all about manipulating the speed of your enemies while increasing your own speed. He does more damage to enemies whose attacks they slow, so this synergizes well with characters who can slow enemies.

For Traces first, my suggestion is to upgrade his ultimate first, then his skills, then upgrade his talents, and finally his basic attack.

Light Cones

For his Light Cones option, your first choice is still In the Night. It gives you a good crit chance, and you get bonus damage with your skills and normal attacks, and your ultimate also gets crit damage. It also has very high base stats compared to other Light Cones.

Next up, we have Sleep Like the Dead. You can get this from a store exchange or a standard banner. It has high base stats, and it increases your crit damage. When you don’t crit, it increases your crit chance in a round due to your base attack and skills.

Our third best pick is Swordplay, which has decent base stats and beneficial effects. Because his skills can easily stack Swordplay damage bonus.

Our next Light Cone is Cruising in the Stellar Sea, and you can get it from Herta store. It has a bit more base stats than Swordplay. When their health is below 50%, you get another 16% crit chance. But in order to maximize the full potential of this Light Cone, you’ll need to defeat enemies first to get the 40% attack damage buff.

Relics

Now, let’s talk about his Relics options. For Relics, his best option is the 4 piece Eagle of Twilight Line. Every time you cast an ultimate, you advance by 100%. Especially if Tingyun is the best in your Honkai Star Rail Account, she can help him generate energy faster.

For other options, you can use 2 PC Musketeer and 2 PC Twilight. Because they can have a bigger boost to Dan Heng’s overall damage.

And for Planar Ornaments, Space Sealing Station is the best DPS role for you. When your speed exceeds 120, it increases your attack power by 24%. Other than that, Inert Salsotto is also a good option for him as it increases his crit rate.

Eidolons

For Eidolons, his best Eidolon is E4. This just gives him an extra turn when you kill an enemy with his ultimate. Like Seele revived, but without buff, just an extra turn.

For E1, this is the same as Cruising in the Stellar Sea requires the enemy’s health to be below 50% to get the crit chance bonus.

For E2, it just adds more damage. Be sure to manage your skill points though, don’t just keep healing him for Wind Resistance Penetration when he’s full of health.

For E3 and E5, the overall damage is higher, and it increases your base attack, skill, ultimate and talent levels.

And for E6, it makes the enemy move more slowly. But be aware that if the skill doesn’t land, it’s useless. So that’s why you want to build some Effect Hit Rate on him.

Teamcomp

For his Teamcomp, you obviously need a shielder or healer. In the team lineup. You should put Dan Heng on the far right or left, so that the enemy’s AOE will not attack him.

For healer or shielder options, you can use Natasha, Bailu, Gepard, Fire Trailblazer, and maybe Luocha. After that, you need active support from an SP like Tingyun or Pela. Then another slot is the flex option where you can run anything like Welt, Silver Wolf or a character that helps break down enemy weaknesses. You can make adjustments according to the situation.
