Da Pan is a Physical DPS who relies on building and consuming Vulnerability stacks. His damage shines in multi-target situations where his Ultimate can hit many enemies to generate Prep Ingredients for Combo Skill cooldown reduction. Against single targets, his performance is lackluster because he struggles to stack Vulnerability quickly.
This endgame build focuses on maximizing Da Pan's burst damage through Vulnerability stacking and Crush. Amaranthine Tassel and Grizzled Edge work together to provide high Physical DMG multipliers, while the off-set Core boosts Arts Intensity. Ideal for clearing waves of enemies where Da Pan can repeatedly trigger his Combo Skill.
Insights
Core Mechanics
- Da Pan applies Vulnerability via his Battle Skill and Ultimate. At 4 stacks, his Combo Skill consumes them to deal massive Physical DMG and apply Crush.
- His talent Salty or Mild grants Prep Ingredients for each enemy hit by the final sequence of his Ultimate, reducing Combo Skill cooldown when consumed.
Scaling
- Da Pan scales well with Strength, Arts Intensity, and Physical DMG Bonus. His damage potential increases significantly with enemies that can be grouped to maximize Ultimate hits.
- He is team-dependent for applying extra Vulnerability stacks; without support, his single-target damage is slow to ramp up.
Team Role
Da Pan functions as a primary Physical DPS in teams that can help apply Vulnerability (e.g., characters with multi-hit or status effects). He excels when enemies are clumped together to maximize his Ultimate's hit count. His Combo Skill is his main burst, so team composition should focus on enabling fast Vulnerability stacking and providing crowd control to group enemies. He pairs well with healers or shielders for survivability, as he lacks self-sustain.

Explanation
Amaranthine Tassel provides massive ATK and Physical DMG bonuses, especially after consuming Vulnerability stacks to trigger Crush. The Grizzled Edge set amplifies Physical DMG after applying Crush or Breach, and the off-set Core increases Arts Intensity for better skill scaling. This build maximizes Da Pan's burst potential in endgame content.
Notes
- Uses off-set Core 2 (Swordmancer NAV Beacon) for extra Arts Intensity to boost damage.
