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.
endgame dps endgameburstvulnerability
This endgame build maximizes Da Pan's damage output by leveraging Vulnerability mechanics. The Aethertech set increases ATK and Physical DMG as he applies Vulnerability, while Exemplar further amplifies Physical DMG after skill usage. Together, they enable Da Pan to deal massive burst damage in AoE situations, with alternatives like Sundered Prince providing similar performance for free-to-play players.

- Sundered Prince is a free weapon available from the New Horizons banner, providing Crit Rate and Attack.
Build Insights
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.
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.
Character Notes
Da Pan is a 5-star Physical Striker who uses a Greatsword. His main claim to fame is his ability to apply Vulnerability through his Battle Skill and Ultimate, then trigger a powerful Combo Skill when an enemy accumulates 4 stacks. His talent Salty or Mild reduces Combo Skill cooldown based on how many enemies his Ultimate hits, making him exceptionally strong in multi-target fights but less effective against solitary bosses. He is an A-tier DPS option, particularly valuable in content with clustered enemies.
Playstyle
- Start encounters with FLIP DA WOK! to apply Lift and one Vulnerability stack.
- Use CHOP 'N DUNK! to hit multiple enemies, generating Prep Ingredients stacks via Salty or Mild.
- Once an enemy reaches 4 Vulnerability stacks, MORE SPICE! triggers automatically; use it for massive damage and Crush.
- In single-target situations, rely on basic attacks to build SP and use Ultimate carefully as it only applies 4 Vulnerability stacks to one enemy.
Strengths
- Excellent AoE damage and crowd control with Lift and Knock Down effects.
- Fast Combo Skill loop in multi-target encounters thanks to Prep Ingredients.
- Synergizes well with Physical damage boosters and Vulnerability-focused supports.
Weaknesses
- Below-average single-target damage because Prep Ingredients requires multiple enemies.
- Combo Skill cooldown is long (20s) without Prep Ingredients, limiting burst frequency.
- Relies on Ultimate to ramp up; without it, Vulnerability stacking is slower.
Team Guide
best physical_teamvulnerability
This is Da Pan's premium setup, built around stacking Vulnerability on enemies. Chen Qianyu applies two stacks, enabling Da Pan's Combo Skill for Crush. Pogranichnik consumes Vulnerability with Breach to increase physical damage and restore SP. Ardelia provides healing and Physical Susceptibility, with Lifeng as an alternative for more Vulnerability stacks.
Explanation
Da Pan's damage relies on consuming Vulnerability stacks. Chen Qianyu supplies the first two stacks quickly. Pogranichnik's Breach further amplifies physical damage and recycles SP. Ardelia or Lifeng add extra Susceptibility to maximize Crush procs.
Strengths
- Efficient vulnerability stacking leads to consistent Crush procs.
- Pogranichnik provides SP regeneration for sustained rotations.
- Ardelia offers healing, improving team survivability.
Rotation
- 1 Start with Lifeng's Battle Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility. Then use Da Pan's full Basic Attack string to trigger Final Strike and Ardelia's Combo Skill. Use Ardelia's Battle Skill to inflict Susceptibility.
- 2 Use Pogranichnik's Battle Skill to apply Breach, increasing physical damage taken by enemies.
- 3 Perform another full Basic Attack string with Da Pan for Final Strike, triggering Pogranichnik's Combo Skill for SP. Then cast Lifeng's Combo Skill to apply Link.
- 4 Activate Da Pan's Ultimate to consume Link for massive damage, followed by his Combo Skill. If his Ultimate is unavailable, use Lifeng's instead. Then use remaining party Ultimates.
- 5 Repeat the rotation until all enemies are defeated.
Stack Vulnerability and Susceptibility, then unload Da Pan's Ultimate and Combo Skill for burst damage.
alternative combustioncrushvulnerability
This composition leverages Combustion reactions to quickly stack Vulnerability. Gilberta gathers enemies and applies Nature Infliction, which Wulfgard's Combo Skill turns into Combustion. Gilberta's Combo Skill then provides the first Vulnerability stack, and Rossi's skills add more, allowing Da Pan to trigger Crush repeatedly.
Explanation
Gilberta's gathering and Nature application set up Combustion via Wulfgard. Her Combo Skill also applies Lift for a Vulnerability stack. Rossi's high Vulnerability application (up to 4 stacks) then enables Da Pan's Combo Skill for constant Crush procs.
Strengths
- Fast vulnerability stacking through Combustion reactions.
- Rossi and Gilberta provide multiple debuffs for high damage.
- Da Pan's Crush procs consistently with 4+ stacks.
Rotation
- 1 Use Gilberta's Battle Skill to gather enemies and apply Nature Infliction. Then trigger Wulfgard's Combo Skill to create Combustion.
- 2 Trigger Gilberta's Combo Skill to apply Lift, granting the first Vulnerability stack.
- 3 Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill again or use Rossi's Ultimate for Arts Infliction. Then trigger Rossi's Combo Skill to gain critical buffs, followed by her Battle Skill to apply Razor Clawmark.
- 4 Trigger Da Pan's Combo Skill to apply Crush, dealing massive damage.
- 5 If Rossi's Ultimate was used, cast Gilberta's Ultimate for additional debuffs. Use extra SP for Wulfgard's Battle Skill to proc Additional ATK.
Set up Combustion, stack Vulnerability via Gilberta and Rossi, then Da Pan Crush.

Team Insights
Da Pan excels as a physical main DPS who relies on the Vulnerability debuff to trigger his powerful Combo Skill, Crush. His team compositions focus on applying and stacking Vulnerability quickly, often through supports like Chen Qianyu or Rossi, and amplifying physical damage with debuffs like Physical Susceptibility and Breach. He benefits from SP generators like Pogranichnik or Akekuri to maintain rotations. Da Pan's ultimate also provides crowd control (Lift), which can be used to set up burst windows.
Synergy Patterns
- Chen Qianyu applies Vulnerability stacks efficiently, enabling Da Pan's Combo Skill early.
- Pogranichnik consumes Vulnerability for Breach, boosting physical damage and restoring SP.
- Rossi and Gilberta work together to stack Vulnerability via Combustion reactions.
- Ardelia provides healing and Physical Susceptibility, synergizing with Da Pan's physical damage.
Tips
- Prioritize reaching 4 Vulnerability stacks quickly to trigger Da Pan's Combo Skill consistently.
- Use Da Pan's Battle Skill to apply Vulnerability when other sources are on cooldown.
- Coordinate Ultimates during enemy stagger windows for maximum burst damage.
- In the Combustion team, ensure Gilberta's Nature Infliction is applied before Wulfgard's Combo.
