Da Pan
Aendgame dps
dps physical vulnerability
Da Pan is a strong Physical DPS who stacks Vulnerability and detonates it with his Combo Skill for burst. His Ultimate applies max stacks, and hitting multiple foes resets Combo cooldown, excelling in AoE. But single-target limits his uptime, preventing top-tier ranking.
Da Pan’s endgame build revolves around the Aethertech gear set and the Exemplar greatsword. Aethertech dramatically amplifies his Physical DMG whenever he applies or consumes Vulnerability – a core loop of his kit. Exemplar further magnifies this by granting a temporary Physical DMG surge after using a Battle Skill or Ultimate. Together, they turn his Combo Skill into a devastating nuke. The off‑set gloves boost Physical DMG, while the alternative weapons (Sundered Prince and Ancient Canal) offer accessible ways to achieve similar burst potential, with Sundered Prince favoured for its Critical Rate.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Applies Vulnerability through Battle Skill - FLIP DA WOK! (Lift) and Ultimate - CHOP 'N DUNK! (Lift + 4 stacks).
- Combo Skill MORE SPICE! automatically triggers when an enemy reaches 4 Vulnerability stacks, dealing massive Physical DMG and Crush.
- Talent Salty or Mild grants Prep Ingredients stacks when the final hit of the Ultimate strikes enemies; each stack consumed by the Combo Skill reduces its cooldown by 40%.
- Talent Reduce and Thicken increases Physical DMG dealt after consuming Vulnerability stacks, further amplifying burst windows.
Scaling
- Strong scaling with Physical DMG bonuses and Vulnerability synergy, making endgame gear sets like Aethertech shine.
- Early game relies on skill damage and ATK boosts (Aburrey's Legacy), but lategame shifts to Vulnerability-based amplification.
- Team dependency is moderate; he can self-apply enough Vulnerability, but grouping enemies enhances his multi-target potential.
Team Role
Da Pan serves as a primary Physical DPS who capitalizes on Vulnerability to unleash devastating Combo Skills. His Ultimate provides AoE Lift and a full stack of Vulnerability, enabling immediate follow‑up burst without external setup. He fits best in teams that can group enemies to maximize the number of Ultimate hits (and thus Prep Ingredients), or with supports that can apply additional Vulnerability to speed up his Combo rotation. While self‑sufficient, he appreciates any crowd control that keeps enemies clumped for his Ultimate's wide area.

Explanation
Exemplar is the top pick because it grants a huge Physical DMG increase after casting any skill or Ultimate, directly empowering the Combo Skill that follows Vulnerability consumption.
The Aethertech set synergises natively with Da Pan’s playstyle: it raises ATK and adds up to 32% Physical DMG (4 stacks) when Vulnerability is applied, plus an extra 16% when the target already has 4 stacks.
Swordmancer TAC Gloves are used as the off‑piece for their additional Physical DMG bonus, further stacking with the set effect.
Sundered Prince is a strong free‑to‑play alternative, offering a Critical Rate boost and ATK increase through Final Strike.
Ancient Canal works if you lack the above; it provides Brutality and Strength scaling, though it lacks the Crit Rate of Sundered Prince.
Notes
- Maximises Physical DMG through the Aethertech set’s ATK boost and extra Physical DMG from keeping enemies Vulnerable.
- Exemplar’s massive Physical DMG buff after using a Battle Skill or Ultimate perfectly aligns with Da Pan’s burst cycle.
