dpsphysicalvulnerability
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.
endgame dps endgamedpsvulnerabilityphysical
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.

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.

This early‑game setup focuses on flat damage increases before Vulnerability‑based sets become available. Sundered Prince’s Critical Rate helps consistency, and the Aburrey’s Legacy set augments every skill with extra Skill DMG and stacking ATK bonuses. It ensures Da Pan remains a potent DPS while farming for his endgame Aethertech equipment.

Explanation
Sundered Prince is the best early weapon because it is freely available and gives Critical Rate plus an ATK buff on Final Strike, directly improving all of Da Pan’s damage.
Aburrey’s Legacy boosts Skill DMG universally and gives separate ATK stacks for Battle Skill, Combo Skill, and Ultimate usage – covering all of Da Pan’s damage sources.
Ancient Canal and Industry 0.1 are decent substitutes if Sundered Prince hasn’t been pulled; Ancient Canal offers Brutality and Strength, while Industry 0.1 provides Suppression and ATK boosts.
Notes
- Aburrey’s Legacy provides a flat 24% Skill DMG bonus and an ATK buff after using any skill, making it a reliable early‑game set.
- Sundered Prince is obtainable from the New Horizons banner and offers Critical Rate and ATK boosts.
Build Insights
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.
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.
Character Notes
Da Pan is a Heavy Physical DPS who excels at applying Vulnerability and then detonating it with a high‑damage Combo Skill. His Ultimate doubles as a powerful AoE that instantly stacks Vulnerability on all hit enemies, allowing him to self‑enable his burst. He thrives in encounters with multiple foes, where his Talent can drastically reduce Combo Skill cooldown, but his single‑target output is noticeably lower. He fits comfortably as the main damage dealer in most team compositions and can work without dedicated Vulnerability supports.
Playstyle
- Use Battle Skill - FLIP DA WOK! to apply Lift and start building Vulnerability stacks.
- When an enemy reaches 4 Vulnerability, Combo Skill - MORE SPICE! automatically triggers – position Da Pan to hit as many vulnerable foes as possible.
- Save Ultimate - CHOP 'N DUNK! for grouped enemies; it applies 4 Vulnerability stacks to all targets and grants Prep Ingredients stacks for fast Combo Skill cooldown recovery.
- Weave Basic Attacks between skills to maintain SP and stagger enemies.
Strengths
- Exceptional multi‑target DPS thanks to Talent‑driven Combo Skill cooldown reduction.
- Self‑sufficient Vulnerability application means he can operate without dedicated debuffers.
- High burst damage from Combo Skill and Ultimate, especially after building Physical DMG bonuses.
Weaknesses
- Falls off against single‑target bosses because he cannot reliably generate Prep Ingredients stacks.
- Requires careful management of Vulnerability stacks to maximize Combo Skill frequency.
- His Ultimate has a fairly high energy cost, slowing his rotation if he can’t hit multiple enemies.
Team Guide
best physical_teamvulnerabilityburst
This team focuses on stacking Vulnerability to fuel Da Pan's Combo Skill and trigger Crush for massive Physical damage. Chen Qianyu supplies quick Vulnerability stacks, while Pogranichnik enhances Physical DMG and restores SP through Breach. Ardelia provides Physical Susceptibility and healing, ensuring Da Pan can unleash his ultimate safely.
Explanation
Da Pan consumes Vulnerability stacks to boost his Combo Skill and activate Crush, dealing heavy single-target Physical damage.
Chen Qianyu’s skills apply multiple Vulnerable stacks rapidly, enabling Da Pan's combo loop.
Pogranichnik's Breach effect consumes Vulnerability to amplify Physical DMG against enemies and refunds SP.
Ardelia inflicts Physical Susceptibility and provides healing, covering sustain and damage amplification. Lifeng is an alternative for additional Vulnerability application.
Strengths
- High burst damage through Crush procs.
- Consistent Vulnerability application and SP recovery for prolonged fights.
- Healer included for added safety.
Weaknesses
- Rotation is strict; missing a step may reduce damage output.
- Lacks strong crowd control outside of single-target lift from Da Pan.
Rotation
- 1 Lifeng's Battle Skill for Physical Susceptibility, then Da Pan's full basic string into Final Strike, triggering Ardelia's Combo Skill. Follow with Ardelia's Battle Skill.
- 2 Pogranichnik's Battle Skill for Breach and increased Physical DMG taken.
- 3 Da Pan's full basic string to Final Strike again, triggering Pogranichnik's Combo Skill for SP. Then use Lifeng's Combo Skill to apply Link.
- 4 If the enemy is staggered, cast Da Pan's Ultimate to consume Link for maximum damage, followed by his Combo Skill. If Da Pan's Ultimate isn't ready, use Lifeng's instead.
- 5 Use any remaining Ultimates (Pogranichnik, Ardelia) during stagger for extra damage, then repeat.
Apply susceptibility and Breach, build SP, then unleash Da Pan’s Ultimate under Link and stagger for maximum Crush damage.
alternative combustion_teamelemental_reactioncrush
This comp leverages Combustion reactions to rapidly stack Vulnerability for Da Pan's Combo Skill and Crush. Rossi’s high Vulnerability application, backed by Gilberta’s grouping and debuffs, lets Da Pan trigger Crush repeatedly alongside Wulfgard’s follow-up damage.
Explanation
Gilberta gathers enemies and applies Nature Infliction, enabling Wulfgard's Combo Skill to trigger Combustion.
Rossi’s kit easily reaches four Vulnerable stacks when supported by Gilberta, allowing Da Pan to constantly use his Combo Skill.
Wulfgard benefits from the same debuffs, contributing significant sub-DPS while Da Pan delivers Crush procs.
This setup provides high sustained damage through frequent Crush triggers and elemental interplay.
Strengths
- Frequent Crush procs thanks to rapid Vulnerability stacking.
- Excellent AoE damage from Gilberta’s grouping and Combustion explosions.
- Rossi’s critical buffs further amplify team damage.
Weaknesses
- Heavily reliant on elemental synergy; if rotations are broken, damage falls off.
- No dedicated healer, so sustain can be problematic in prolonged fights.
Rotation
- 1 Gilberta's Battle Skill gathers enemies and applies Nature Infliction, then trigger Wulfgard's Combo Skill for Combustion.
- 2 Gilberta's Combo Skill applies Lift for the first Vulnerability stack.
- 3 Use Gilberta's Battle Skill or Rossi's Ultimate for Arts Infliction.
- 4 Rossi's Combo Skill for critical buffs, then her Battle Skill for Razor Clawmark.
- 5 Da Pan's Combo Skill to trigger Crush.
- 6 If Rossi's Ultimate was used earlier, cast Gilberta's Ultimate for debuffs and use extra SP for Wulfgard's Battle Skill and additional attack.
Set up Combustion to stack Vulnerability quickly, then unleash Da Pan’s Crush, with optional finishers from Gilberta and Wulfgard.
f2p f2pbeginnerlow_investment
An accessible team using free or easily obtainable units. Chen Qianyu provides Vulnerability stacks and lift, while Akekuri restores SP and Ardelia heals. The rotation is simple yet effective, building Vulnerability for Da Pan’s Combo Skill and ultimate to deal high Physical damage.
Explanation
Chen Qianyu is a free support who applies Vulnerability and can lift enemies, setting up Da Pan’s combo.
Akekuri’s SP restoration keeps the team’s skills cycling, especially after stagger.
Ardelia provides healing and Physical Susceptibility, increasing overall damage.
Da Pan’s Battle Skill and Final Strike contribute to Vulnerability upkeep, making the team self-sufficient.
Strengths
- All characters are easy to obtain and build.
- Sustain from a dedicated healer and SP battery ensures consistency.
- Rotation is forgiving and effective for story content.
Weaknesses
- Lower damage ceiling compared to premium teams.
- Limited crowd control outside of single-target lift.
Rotation
- 1 Da Pan's Basic Attack chain until Final Strike to trigger Ardelia's Combo Skill, applying Corrosion.
- 2 Ardelia's Battle Skill consumes Corrosion to apply Physical and Arts Susceptibility.
- 3 Da Pan's Battle Skill for Vulnerability, triggering Chen Qianyu's Combo Skill for more stacks, then Chen Qianyu's Battle Skill.
- 4 Da Pan's Ultimate to lift and deal massive damage, triggering his Combo Skill at four Vulnerability stacks.
- 5 During stagger, use Akekuri's Combo Skill and Ultimate to restore SP and restart the rotation.
- 6 Use any remaining Ultimates during stagger for extra damage.
Apply susceptibility and Vulnerability, then use Da Pan’s Ultimate and regenerate SP during stagger windows.
Team Insights
Da Pan teams revolve around stacking Vulnerability on enemies to repeatedly trigger his Combo Skill and unleash Crush for massive Physical burst. Pair him with supports that can apply multiple Vulnerability stacks quickly (Chen Qianyu, Rossi, Gilberta), SP generators to keep the rotation flowing (Pogranichnik, Akekuri), and healers or debuffers to enhance survivability and damage (Ardelia, Lifeng). His ideal comps ensure a constant stream of Vulnerability to maximize Crush uptime.
Synergy Patterns
- Characters that can apply Vulnerability stacks directly (Chen Qianyu, Rossi) are essential for Da Pan’s Combo Skill.
- Effects like Breach (Pogranichnik) that consume Vulnerability for extra Physical DMG and SP synergize with Da Pan’s playstyle.
- Elemental reactions such as Combustion can rapidly generate Vulnerability when paired with Rossi’s kit.
- Healers with Physical Susceptibility (Ardelia) provide both sustain and damage amplification.
Tips
- Always maintain at least two Vulnerability stacks before using Da Pan’s Combo Skill to ensure Crush triggers.
- Time Da Pan’s Ultimate during stagger windows and with Link applied for maximum impact.
- In the Physical team, using Lifeng over Ardelia increases Vulnerability output but sacrifices healing—choose based on content needs.
- For the Combustion team, ensure Gilberta’s Nature Infliction is applied before Wulfgard’s Combo to trigger Combustion consistently.
