Da Pan

early game dps

dps

Da Pan is a Physical DPS who excels at applying Vulnerability with his Battle Skill and Ultimate, then consuming stacks with his Combo Skill for massive damage. His reliance on multiple targets to generate Prep Ingredients stacks makes him strong against groups but weaker against single bosses.

This early game build focuses on increasing Skill DMG and ATK through the Aburrey's Legacy gear set and the Sundered Prince weapon. It's a budget-friendly option that enhances Da Pan's damage output without requiring high-end equipment, making it ideal for progressing through early content.

Insights

Core Mechanics

Da Pan inflicts Vulnerability via FLIP DA WOK! (Battle Skill) and CHOP 'N DUNK! (Ultimate). When an enemy reaches 4 stacks, MORE SPICE! (Combo Skill) triggers, dealing bonus Physical DMG and Crush.
His talent Salty or Mild grants Prep Ingredients stacks for each enemy hit by the Ultimate's final sequence, reducing Combo Skill cooldown by 40% per stack. This creates a rapid loop in multi-target fights.
Another talent Reduce and Thicken boosts Physical DMG after consuming Vulnerability stacks, stacking up to 4 times.

Scaling

Da Pan ramps up quickly in AoE scenarios thanks to Prep Ingredients generation, allowing frequent Combo Skills. However, his single-target damage suffers because he needs multiple enemies to fuel his cooldown reduction. He scales well with gear that amplifies Physical DMG and Vulnerability-related effects.

Team Role

Da Pan operates as the primary Physical DPS in a team, relying on Healers or Supports to keep him alive while he builds Vulnerability stacks. He synergizes with characters that can group enemies or apply additional debuffs. His rotation revolves around using Battle Skill to apply Lift and Vulnerability, then following up with Ultimate to stack multiple Vulnerability stacks and trigger Combo Skill. In teams with crowd control, he can consistently output high burst damage.
