Build Notes

Da Pan—endgame dps

Rank #4

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.

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.

Uses off-set Core 2 (Swordmancer NAV Beacon) for extra Arts Intensity to boost damage.

Da Pan—early game dps

Best in Slot

This early game build uses the Armored MSGR gear set and Ancient Canal weapon to boost Da Pan's Strength and Physical DMG. It is a reliable, low-investment setup that helps players learn Vulnerability stacking mechanics while clearing content. The DMG Reduction from the set also improves durability.

Ancient Canal boosts Physical DMG after consuming Vulnerability stacks, which synergizes well with Da Pan's early rotation. The Armored MSGR set increases Strength and provides survivability through DMG Reduction when HP is low. This combination is easy to acquire and effective for early game progression.

Ancient Canal is the best free-to-play weapon for Da Pan, providing Arts Intensity and Physical DMG after consuming Vulnerability.

Mi Fu—endgame dps

Rank #4

This endgame build maximizes Mi Fu's Crush damage through Amaranthine Tassel and Grizzled Edge. The weapon's buffs trigger reliably from her rotation, and the gear set synergizes with her Vulnerability consumption, resulting in massive burst damage on World Splitter and sustained Physical DPS.

Amaranthine Tassel's Combative skill grants Arts Intensity when applying Physical Susceptibility (via Combo Skill) and Physical DMG when applying Crush, directly amplifying her primary damage sources.

Grizzled Edge set piece bonuses provide Strength and Physical DMG, while the set effect increases Physical DMG based on Vulnerability stacks consumed. The Swordmancer NAV Beacon off-piece adds high Strength and Arts Intensity, outperforming other options.

Amaranthine Tassel is BiS due to its synergy with Mi Fu's Crush and Physical Susceptibility application, granting both Physical DMG and Arts Intensity.
Grizzled Edge set boosts ATK and provides scaling Physical DMG when applying Crush or Breach, especially effective against enemies with Physical Susceptibility.

Mi Fu—early game dps

Best in Slot

For early game, Mi Fu relies on Ancient Canal and Armored MSGR to get a foundation in Strength and Arts Intensity. This budget build allows her to start applying Crush effectively while staying durable, transitioning well into late-game gear.

Ancient Canal's Brutality skill gives Arts Intensity when consuming Vulnerable, and its Strength and Arts Intensity substats improve both physical and Crush damage.

Armored MSGR's set bonus grants Strength, and each piece provides useful stats for survivability and damage. This setup is easy to obtain and effective for early game content.

Ancient Canal provides Strength and Arts Intensity, important for early Crush procs.
Armored MSGR set offers Strength and survivability, with gyros boosting Attack.
