Da Pan is a B-tier Physical DPS whose damage revolves around stacking Vulnerability and detonating it with his Combo Skill and Ultimate. He shines against groups but struggles in single-target fights because his cooldown reduction depends on hitting many enemies.

This endgame build focuses on maximizing Da Pan's burst damage through Vulnerability consumption. Amaranthine Tassel provides a solid base of Attack and Physical DMG, while Grizzled Edge turns every Crush into a powerful Physical DMG buff. The off-set Swordmancer NAV Beacon adds Arts Intensity for extra consistency. In AoE encounters, Da Pan can rapidly reduce Combo Skill cooldown via his Ultimate, making this build highly effective against groups.

Explanation
Amaranthine Tassel is chosen because its Attack and Physical DMG bonuses directly amplify Da Pan's Combo Skill and Ultimate damage.
Grizzled Edge's 4-piece effect synergizes perfectly with Da Pan's Vulnerability consumption, granting Physical DMG after Crush; the buff can be increased further if the target has Physical Susceptibility, is Staggered, or has attached Originium Crystals.
Exemplar is a strong alternative due to its huge Physical DMG boost, which Da Pan can maximize with a single Ultimate cast. Phantom Pain works but is harder to stack because Da Pan seldom uses Battle Skill and needs 4 Vulnerability stacks for Combo Skill.
Notes
- Amaranthine Tassel boosts Attack and Physical DMG, matching Da Pan's burst windows.
- Grizzled Edge set triggers after consuming Vulnerability stacks to apply Crush, granting a large Physical DMG buff.
- Swordmancer NAV Beacon provides extra Arts Intensity as an off-set piece.
early gamedpsearly_gamef2pbeginnerstrength
This early-game build uses Ancient Canal and Armored MSGR to give Da Pan a strong foundation of Strength and Attack. The gear set's defensive bonus helps him survive early encounters, while the weapon's Physical DMG and Arts Intensity allow him to contribute solid damage. It serves as a reliable stepping stone until players can obtain the endgame Grizzled Edge setup.

Explanation
Ancient Canal gives bonus Strength and Arts Intensity, which are Da Pan's primary damage stats in the early game.
Armored MSGR directly increases Strength and grants survivability through DMG Reduction, letting Da Pan stay on the field longer.
The extra ATK from gear pieces helps Da Pan's Basic Attacks remain useful while he builds up Vulnerability stacks for his Combo Skill.
Notes
- Ancient Canal is the strongest early free-to-play weapon for Da Pan, offering Arts Intensity and Physical DMG.
- Armored MSGR provides +50 Strength and helpful DMG Reduction when HP is below 50%, improving survivability.
- This build is intended to smooth Da Pan's early progression and make his basic attacks and skills hit harder.
Build Insights
Da Pan is the main on-field Striker DPS in a physical-focused team. He needs to be controlled to charge Battle Skill, stack Vulnerability, and land Ultimate to trigger Combo Skill chains. His kit rewards grouping enemies and benefits from teammates that can clump targets or apply Physical Susceptibility/Stagger to double Grizzled Edge's bonus. He is less suited to single-target boss compositions.
Core Mechanics
- Da Pan applies Vulnerability through Lift from Battle Skill and Ultimate. At 4 stacks, Combo Skill triggers and consumes them to deal Crush damage.
- Talent Salty or Mild grants Prep Ingredients per enemy hit by Ultimate's final sequence, reducing Combo Skill cooldown by 40% when consumed.
- Talent Reduce and Thicken increases Physical DMG dealt for each Vulnerability stack consumed, stacking up to 4 times.
Scaling
- Da Pan scales with Strength, Arts Intensity, and Physical DMG Bonus; his late-game build amplifies Crush and Physical damage through gear.
- He is more effective in AoE scenarios because his Ultimate grants Prep Ingredients per enemy, but single-target fights reduce his cooldown cycling and overall damage.
Character Notes
Da Pan is a 5-star Physical Striker who wields a Greatsword and uses a unique cooking-themed kit. His main role is on-field DPS, stacking Vulnerability on enemies through Lift and then detonating it with his Combo Skill MORE SPICE!, further empowered by his Ultimate CHOP 'N DUNK!. His damage potential is highest in AoE settings, where his talent lets him cycle his Combo Skill rapidly. In single-target situations, he loses a lot of uptime and effectiveness, which keeps him at B-tier.
Playstyle
- Use Battle Skill to Lift enemies and apply Vulnerability, then trigger Combo Skill when an enemy reaches four stacks.
- Save Ultimate for groups: each enemy hit by the final sequence grants Prep Ingredients, slashing Combo Skill cooldown.
- Weave Basic Attacks and Finishers to recover SP and keep pressure between skill rotations.
Strengths
- High burst damage against groups through Ultimate + Combo Skill synergy.
- Self-sufficient Vulnerability application and Crush debuffs.
- Good base durability with Greatsword and early defensive gear.
Weaknesses
- Weak in single-target fights due to cooldown reliance and stack setup.
- Battle Skill is mostly for setup; damage is loaded into Combo and Ultimate.
- Requires 4 Vulnerability stacks before Combo Skill can be used, making rotations predictable.
Team Guide
bestphysical_teamvulnerability_focusbest_team
The go-to Da Pan setup revolves around stacking Vulnerability so his Combo Skill can constantly trigger Crush. Chen Qianyu opens with Vulnerability, Pogranichnik adds Breach and SP recovery, while Ardelia (or Lifeng) applies Physical Susceptibility and keeps the team healthy.
Explanation
Chen Qianyu contributes two Vulnerable stacks, which is just enough to advance Da Pan's Combo Skill toward Crush.
Pogranichnik consumes Vulnerable stacks with Breach to raise Physical damage taken and restore SP for faster rotations.
The last slot is flexible: Ardelia provides healing and Susceptibility, while Lifeng adds extra Vulnerable stacks for higher damage.
Strengths
- Heavy Physical burst thanks to Crush procs and stacked debuffs.
- Pogranichnik's Breach feeds SP back into the rotation.
Weaknesses
- Support-dependent: without Vulnerability stacks Da Pan's damage noticeably drops.
- Susceptibility uptime requires careful skill timing.
Rotation
- 1Use Lifeng's Battle Skill to apply Physical Susceptibility on enemies.
- 2Perform a full Da Pan Basic Attack chain to trigger Final Strike, activating Ardelia's Combo Skill.
- 3Cast Ardelia's Battle Skill to keep Susceptibility applied.
- 4Use Pogranichnik's Battle Skill to inflict Breach and improve Physical damage taken.
- 5Repeat Da Pan's full Basic chain to Final Strike, triggering Pogranichnik's Combo Skill for added SP.
- 6Cast Lifeng's Combo Skill to attach Link to the enemy.
- 7Use Da Pan's Ultimate to consume Link and deal massive damage, then follow with his Combo Skill.
- 8If Da Pan's Ultimate is not ready, use Lifeng's Ultimate as a backup burst.
- 9Fire all remaining party Ultimates while enemies are staggered for extended damage.
- 10Repeat from the start until all enemies are defeated.
Open with Susceptibility and Breach debuffs, then chain Da Pan's Final Strike into his Ultimate and Combo Skill during the stagger window.
alternativecombustion_teamvulnerability_focusalternative
This alternative comp turns Burning reactions into a fast Vulnerability engine. Gilberta groups enemies and applies Nature Infliction, Wulfgard sets off Combustion, and Rossi stacks Vulnerable up to four times so Da Pan's Combo Skill can immediately trigger Crush.
Explanation
Rossi can easily reach four Vulnerable stacks thanks to Gilberta's Nature application, letting Da Pan trigger Crush more often.
Wulfgard's Combo Skill reacts with Gilberta's Nature Infliction to apply Combustion, which sets up the whole reaction chain.
Gilberta also provides crowd control by lifting enemies, creating a safe window for Da Pan's burst.
Strengths
- Accelerated Vulnerable stacking from Combustion reactions.
- Strong AoE setup through Gilberta's gathering and lift.
Weaknesses
- Relies on specific character synergies and may be less flexible than the Physical team.
- Lacks a dedicated healer, so sustain depends on player positioning and pacing.
Rotation
- 1Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill to gather enemies and apply Nature Infliction.
- 2Trigger Wulfgard's Combo Skill to apply Combustion on grouped targets.
- 3Use Gilberta's Combo Skill to lift enemies and gain the first Vulnerable stack.
- 4Cast Gilberta's Battle Skill again or use Rossi's Ultimate to apply Arts Infliction.
- 5Trigger Rossi's Combo Skill for critical buffs, then her Battle Skill to apply Razor Clawmark.
- 6Use Da Pan's Combo Skill to trigger Crush while Vulnerable stacks are active.
- 7If Rossi's Ultimate was used in step 4, follow with Gilberta's Ultimate for extra debuffs, then use the saved SP for Wulfgard's Battle Skill.
Group enemies, trigger Combustion and Vulnerable stacking, then spend Da Pan's Combo Skill to proc Crush.
f2pf2pbeginnerlow_investmentphysical_team
A budget-friendly Da Pan team that still delivers solid Physical burst. Chen Qianyu and Ardelia layer Vulnerability and Susceptibility, while Akekuri restores SP after staggers so the rotation can keep going for free-to-play players.
Explanation
Chen Qianyu works as a free support unit that can lift enemies and apply Vulnerability stacks for Da Pan.
Ardelia applies Corrosion with her Combo Skill and consumes it with her Battle Skill for Physical and Arts Susceptibility.
Akekuri provides SP recovery when enemies are staggered, which is essential for keeping the loop alive without premium units.
Strengths
- Uses accessible units and still hits strong Physical damage.
- Akekuri keeps SP flowing after stagger for continuous rotations.
Weaknesses
- Damage ceiling is lower than the premium Physical or Combustion teams.
- Needs proper stagger timing to maximize Akekuri's SP restoration.
Rotation
- 1Use Da Pan's Basic Attack chain until Final Strike to trigger Ardelia's Combo Skill and apply Corrosion.
- 2Cast Ardelia's Battle Skill to consume Corrosion and apply Physical and Arts Susceptibility.
- 3Use Da Pan's Battle Skill to inflict Vulnerability, then trigger Chen Qianyu's Combo and Battle Skills for extra stacks.
- 4Cast Da Pan's Ultimate to lift enemies and deal massive Physical damage, triggering his Combo Skill from four Vulnerable stacks.
- 5If enemies are staggered, use Akekuri's Combo Skill or Ultimate to restore SP and keep the rotation going.
- 6Cast other party Ultimates while enemies are staggered to finish the wave.
Layer Corrosion and Susceptibility with Ardelia, add Vulnerability with Chen Qianyu, then use Da Pan's Ultimate and Combo Skill during stagger.
Team Insights
Da Pan is a physical main DPS that depends on Vulnerability stacks to fuel his Combo Skill and trigger Crush. Build teams around supports that apply Vulnerability and Physical Susceptibility quickly: Chen Qianyu, Pogranichnik, Lifeng, and Ardelia are core options. For a faster setup, Rossi and Gilberta can stack Vulnerability through Combustion, while Akekuri offers SP recovery for F2P budgets. Keep a healer or damage alternative in the last slot depending on encounter.
Synergy Patterns
- Chen Qianyu grants two Vulnerable stacks, letting Da Pan's Final Strike chains advance toward Crush.
- Pogranichnik consumes Vulnerable stacks for Breach, improving Physical damage and restoring SP.
- Lifeng and Ardelia can both inflict Susceptibility; Lifeng gives more Vulnerable stacks, Ardelia adds healing.
- Gilberta and Rossi trigger Combustion reactions that stack Vulnerability quickly for Da Pan's burst.
- Akekuri helps sustain rotations after staggered enemies restore party SP.
Tips
- Time Da Pan's Ultimate after Susceptibility and Link debuffs are active for maximum damage.
- Wait for enemies to be staggered before throwing out Ultimates to extend the damage window.
- Use Akekuri's Combo Skill after a stagger to keep the SP loop going.
- If sustain is an issue, pick Ardelia; if you need more damage, slot Lifeng instead.
