Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

Legendary Dan Heng Path of Destruction build - effective gear and endgame examples of groups with the High Elder.

Dan Heng Moon Eater
Content

Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae in HSR is one of the unique representatives of the Path of Destruction, which has an imaginary element and attacks the enemy with enhanced variations of basic attacks. His skill list includes up to four types of normal attacks: "Beneficent Lotus" standard type and improved "Transcen­dence", "Divine Spear" and "Fulgurant Leap". To activate the latter, the young man consumes action points: the more powerful the explosive attack, the higher its cost.

This feature turns the character into one of the most "gluttonous" units in the hyper-carry position, and even the presence of an ultimate that offers "Squama Sacrosancta" charges (equivalent to skill points) does not simplify the rotation scrolling to achieve maximum efficiency within the battle. Therefore, for a comfortable existence in the battle arena, the Vidyadhara needs cooperation with supports who can restore skill points. In addition, equipment becomes no less important - not only enhancing, but also the ones that simplifies the gameplay in whole.

Hero's story

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

«Sorry, you must be surprised... These horns on my head have been the legacy of the Luofu high elder since time immemorial. But I'm still the same person. Please keep calling me "Dan Heng" like you did before.", - says the young man at his first meeting with his friends on the starship, where in the distant past the betrayal by the guardian of the Ambrosial Arbor, Mr. Dan Feng, unfolded. The judges claimed that the man coveted the power of Abundance and created the so-called "Abominations", which led to the complete destruction of the Scalegorge Waterscape.

The once powerful and revered High Elder not only interrupted the succession process of the most important title in Xianzhou, but also committed an atrocity listed in the Ten Unpardonable Sins. The youth that the Trailblazer now knows as the reincarnation of both a great and terrible creature was born for the sake of “atonement for the sins of the past" However, for many years he ran from his destiny, without revealing his own strength to anyone, and only on Luofu did he appear in his true form.

The development of the hero's storyline can be found in his companion mission "The Dragon Returns Home".

How skills work

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

The legendary form of the character, previously known only as an epic, has a unique skill set, which consists of several variations of basic attacks. By consuming action points and activating the skill, the young man improves the skill to its peak, which is called "Fulgurant Leap". Thus, it deals massive DPS in an area, and the target initially selected for the attack receives the highest damage.

His Superpower, in turn, is valued due to "Squama Sacrosancta", which act as an equivalent to skill points. The maximum number of said charges is 3, and their consumption significantly simplifies the rotation, but in total they practically do not solve the general problem of the hero's "gluttony".

Active skills

The character's power is increased by gaining such stat as attack power (ATK).

The technique

Technique "Heaven-Quelling Prismadrakon" || Enhancement

The technique grants the character the status of "Leaping Dragon" for 20 seconds. Using the skill while "Leaping Dragon" is active makes the hero turn forward rapidly at a certain distance and attack all affected opponents. At the same time, during rapid movement, the young man ignores all oncoming blows.

While in the Leaping Dragon status, at the start of combat triggered by an Attack action, deal imaginary damage to all enemies equal to 120%. of ATK. In addition, he also gains 1 Squama Sacrosancta.

All consts:

6Reign, ReturnedAfter any other ally uses an ultimate, imaginary resistance break effect for the next "Fulgurant Leap" is increased by 20%.. The effect can stack up to 3 times.

The best Eidolons of the Imbibitor are the second and fourth:

  • E2 Considered the most important Eidolon to unlock if the hero is acting as a primary DPS character, the constellation maximizes the number of Squama Sacrosancta levels after using the ultimate skill, and also advances action, allowing for devastating damage to be dealt to the enemy again.
  • E4 Extends the duration of the status that passively increases crit dmg during combat. Crit dmg, in turn, is one of the main attack characteristics, which is important for many damage-dealing characters.

If you are a F2P player, but plan to pull for eidolons, it is recommended to stop at E2. This is the optimal investment, which will significantly boost the character.

How to Play Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae in HSR

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

The High Elder Vidyadhara has a mechanic that is tied to a constant increase in the basic attack. Initially, at the first level of skill improvement, "Beneficent Lotus" deals minimal damage to enemies and affects only one target. However, when you spend action points, basic attack transforms into "Fulgurant Leap": in addition to solo targeting, colossal damage is dealt to adjacent targets.

The nuance is in the character's "gluttony": due him being dependent on the enhanced form of the basic attack, the unit becomes the main character consuming skill points in the group, which is why he can sometimes conflict with other characters. This complicates the gameplay and requires taking risks into account, thinking through turns in advance.

General principles for building rotation for the Imbibitor:

  1. Before battle, use the Harmony, Abundance, Preservation and/or Nihility character techniques to apply positive effects to the party and/or spread negative statuses to enemies. Afterwards, even if the enemies are not vulnerable to the imaginary damage type, use the technique Heaven-Quelling Prismadrakon. Thus, the battle will start with 1 active "Squama Sacrosancta".
  2. When it's the Elder's turn, activate the skill "Dracore Libre". It is highly advisable to upgrade the basic attack "Beneficent Lotus" at least up to level 2 - "Divine Spear", which will deal damage not only to the selected enemy, but also to targets standing next to them.
  3. Monitor active positive statuses on the character, promptly refreshing the buffs from the Harmony heroes. Act similarly with the representatives of Nihility: significant negative statuses (for example, to reduce defense) should be imposed on opponents before the main attacks of the hyper-carry.
  4. After accumulating enough energy, use the ultimate Azure's Aqua Ablutes All: Not only will you deal a high % of damage, but you will also get an additional 2 "Squama Sacrosancta". If you have E2, in addition to 1 extra Squama Sacrosancta, you will also advance action by 100%.
  5. Follow the rotation, allocating a significant portion of skill points to the unit in question.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

Once you understand how the abilities of the Vidyadhara Elder work, you can draw conclusions about his strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths Weaknesses
Belonging to the Path of Destruction make the legendary version of Dan Heng a powerful DPS-character, capable of effectively destroying solo targets and large groups of enemies. Given the specifics of his gameplay (costing skill points to boost basic attack), the unit is highly dependent on his ultimate skill, which grants access to "Squama Sacrosancta" (equivalent to skill points).
Taken together, each of the above details offers unique gameplay that can significantly diversify your time spent in the game. The Elder is a universal hero, capable of "clearing" any high-level content without problems. Poorly compatible with some representatives of Nihility, Abundance, Preservation and Harmony, which have to consume skill points on a permanent basis to fully use their potential.
With proper investment in energy recovery speed, he may not need cooperation with Sparkle (Harmony: Quantum), playing with epic Hanya (Harmony: Physical). By analogy with the above point, he is poorly compatible with the representatives of other damaging Paths (Destruction, the Hunt, Erudition), whose main damage comes from their skills.
As a result, he requires careful attention to the rotation, so as not to lose DPS.

Best Imbibitor Lunae Builds in Honkai: Star Rail

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

The Imbibitor Lunae build in HSR is based on the following characteristics: ATK, critsand imaginary damage. As an addition, you can consider:

  • Energy recharge - The ultimate ability of the legendary version of Dan Heng helps to accumulate Squama Sacrosancta and also deals high DPS.
  • Speed - will allow you to take turns more often and faster than your enemies/allies.

Recommended Stats

The main stats that are recommended to look for in relics:

Head HP (fixed)
Hands Attack Power (fixed)
Body Crit. chance or crit. damage
Boots Speed ​​(priority), attack power (situational)
Planar Sphere Fake bonus
Link Rope Attack Power (priority), energy recovery (situational)

As for the secondary characteristics, it is worth paying attention to:

  • crits;
  • speed;
  • attack power.

The optimal values that are recommended to have on the character:

  • ATK — 2200-2600 and more;
  • defense — 800 and more;
  • speed: — 121/134+ (can be less if the team has Bronya or Sparkle with 160/161 speed);
  • energy recharge - 119%, or you can stop at the basic indicators if there is a hero in the team who is able to restore energy;
  • KS и KU — ratio 1:2, that is, for example, 50% of critical rate for 100% of critical damage.

It is advisable to increase the critical hit chance to 70%, especially if you have a set of planar ornaments that requires a certain % of the named characteristic to activate the bonus (for example, "Rutilant Arena"). As for crit dmg, the higher the increase, the better.

Light Cone Rating

When choosing a weapon, remember that it must be of the Path of Destruction for the passive effect to work. Among the most suitable options, the following "cards" are worth highlighting:

DEF 15-330

What relics and ornaments are needed

When choosing planar ornaments and cavern relics, prioritize the sets that increase imaginary damage, attack power and crits.

Cavern relics

NameEffectsRecommendation
Wastelander of Banditry Desert
Musketeer of Wild Wheat
2 parts: Increases apparent damage by 10%.
2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%.
The best set of relics in the 2×2mix, which maximizes damage by giving a percentage increase to both the primary element and attack power.
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters
Musketeer of Wild Wheat
2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%.
2 parts: Increases attack power by 12%.
A combo that requires attacking enemies under debuffs to gain the buff. The combination of ATK gain and overall DPS increase can be used before collecting the appropriate parts of the desired set.
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters
2 parts: Increases damage dealt to enemies with Debuffs by 12%.
4 parts: Increases crit. 4% chance. The owner's crit damage dealt to enemies with at least 2/3 debuffs increases by 8%/12% respectively. After the owner applies a Debuff to an enemy, the above effects are increased by 100% for 1 turn.
Despite the impossibility of getting a double bonus of a full set, the set will be a good solution for IL. To activate a percentage increase in damage to monsters, it is necessary to impose at least one debuff on the attacked target. A full set requires the presence of 2/3 negative effects, which means a stable source of debuffs in the team.
Wastelander of Banditry Desert
2 parts: Increases apparent damage by 10%.
4 parts: When the wearer deals damage to an enemy with Debuffs, their Crit. chance is increased by 10%. If the enemy is under the influence of the negative status "Conclusion", crt. damage against him is additionally increased by 20%.
Great option with situational bonuses for crits. The first positive effect from 4 parts is activated by the characters of the Path of Nihility, who are able to constantly maintain various debuffs on enemies. The second, on the contrary, can be called "difficult to implement", since the "Ensnare" status is imposed only after the imaginary vulnerability is broken (Welt simplifies this task, since the hero can apply Ensnare on opponents with his skill).

If you managed to get a full set with good primary and secondary characteristics, and you group has at least one representative of the Path of Nihility, capable of imposing negative statuses on the enemy, great. Otherwise, it is recommended to give preference to the 2x2 mix discussed above.

Planar ornaments

NameEffectsRecommendation
Rutilant Arena
2 parts: increases crit. 8% chance. If crit. the owner's chance is greater than or equal to 70%, then the damage of his basic attack and skill is increased by 20%.It can be called the best set, as it provides a noticeable bonus to damage from the basic attack. However, at the same time, it is extremely demanding for such a characteristic as the chance of crit. To activate the bonus, you must have at least 70% crit rate.
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth
2 partsincreases the owner's attack power by  12%.. If the owner's speed is greater than or equal to 135/160 units, then the damage it causes increases by  12%./ 18%..A good alternative if you don't have the right parts of the above sets, as it provides a permanent ATK bonus and also offers a passive increase to all outgoing damage. However, this requires the unit's speed to be leveled to the required minimum (135).

Note: attempt to bring the characteristic to max. values ​​for the sake of 18%, in turn, will be a mistake, since it is important for the hero to maintain a balance between attack indicators and damage in general.
Inert Salsotto
2 parts: increases crit. 8% chance. If crit. the owner's chance is greater than or equal to 50%, then the damage of his super ability and bonus attack is increased by 15%.The legendary Dan Heng's superpower is not a priority, but there is no denying the fact that it deals quite a lot of damage. The set can be equipped for the first time if you have well-leveled primary and secondary characteristics.
Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation
2 parts: The owner's Crit. chance increases by 4%. Defeating an enemy increases crit. damage to the owner by 4%. This effect can stack up to 10 times.Gives a powerful bonus to critical damage (up to 40%), but works from defeating enemies, including team members. Considered solely as an alternative set that can be equipped to complete "Pure Fiction". In other situations, the kits discussed above will be many times stronger.

Imbibitor Lunae's Team Guide in HSR

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

Imbibitor Lunae's role in the team is hyper carry, around which the team is built. The Vidyadhara Elder harmonizes well with most of the characters in the game, but it is important to remember his peculiarity, which affects the huge expenditure of skill points to boost basic attack. Allies should not interfere in revealing the combat potential of the damage dealer.

Which characters are suitable?

The following heroes can join the team:

CharacterPathDamage typeFeatures
The Trailblazer
Remembrance
Ice
Great support even for those characters that don't have summon mechanics (i.e. memosprite): Increases allies' critical damage, advances the action, and deals additional true-type damage.
Bronya
Harmony
Wind
A representative of the Path of Harmony that pushes allies forward and provides attack power/crit boosts. damage. However, for a comfortable coexistence with the Imbibitor, it is important to have either E1 or the signature light cone "But The battle is not over" (or both).
Robin
Harmony
Physical
A representative of Harmony of the highest tier, whose skills are aimed at increasing outgoing damage, crit. damage and attack power. When using the ultimate, advances all allies' action by 100%.
Sunday
Harmony
Imaginary
Universal support character: combines well not only with heroes who summon independent combat creatures to the battle arena, but also with other representatives of damage-dealing Paths. Increases crit. chance and crit. damage, advances the action by 100%, is a support that is undemanding to skill points, restores energy, and also comprehensively increases outgoing damage.
Ruan Mei
Harmony
Ice
Offers an increase in damage dealt, speed and break efficiency. Can delay the action with the help of an ult, which, combined with an imaginary break, will significantly slow down opponents. The heroine is also undemanding when it comes to skill points, which will provide the Imbibitor with additional skill points.
Sparkle
Harmony
Quantum
The main advantage of Sparkle is not only the increase in crit. damage, as well as total outgoing damage. The Masked Fool directly affects the increase in the number of skill points used during battle, and also contributes to their accelerated recovery.
Tribbie
Harmony
Quantum
A powerful support character focused on clearing content that requires massive damage. Increases break of all resistance types and damage that goes through enemies. Since Imbibitor Lunae hits multiple enemies, it pairs well with Tribbie and helps her charge her ultimate by activating the third trace.
Asta
Harmony
Fire

Is The Character Worth Pulling?

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in Honkai Star Rail: Best Build and Team Guide

The Elder inflicts high area and solo-target damage and offers unique gameplay, tied to the constant consumption of skills in order to enhance the basic blow - the main damaging skill. Despite the demanding nature of leveling characteristics, he is easy to build due to the traces that are aimed at increasing the main stats - crit rate and imaginary damage.

Can be equipped with an epic light cone and give a good result: for full implementation, the unit does not need both a signature weapon and additional eidolons. Although the presence of the latter, undoubtedly, will significantly simplify the maintenance of bonuses on the character, and also make him competitive against other relevant DPS representatives.

Otherwise, he is considered a fairly stable character, especially considering the constantly expanding list of supports. If you are interested in the gameplay of the young man, and also his design attracts you, you can safely pull for the hero - the proper leveling will allow him to clear endgame activities without problems.

Which is better: E1 or signature?

When choosing between the first Eidolon and the Signature Light Cone, it is recommended to give preference to the weapon Brighter Than the Sun. The reason is the boosts offered by the "Defiant Till Death" effect: thanks to the "card", the character receives increases to the main combat indicators, as well as the "energy recovery" characteristic. Due to the latter, the legendary Dan Heng will be able to use the ultimate more often, which not only deals DPS, but also accumulates "Squama Sacrosancta".

We hope we helped you put together the best build for the Imbibitor Lunae - the legendary Dan Heng in Honkai: Star Rail. Feel free to ask questions in comments, so that the author or other players can help you.
