Light Cone
In the NightIn the Night converts Dan Heng's SPD into CRIT Rate plus Skill and Ultimate damage, matching his complete damage loop.
SwordplaySwordplay rapidly stacks on the single target Dan Heng is already focusing and offers excellent four-star damage at higher superimposition.
When to use it : Keep attacking the same enemy until its stacks are established.
Cruising in the Stellar SeaCruising in the Stellar Sea supplies unconditional CRIT Rate and more CRIT/ATK against weakened enemies, smoothing the Rutilant threshold.
It is permanently purchasable and superimposable in Herta's Store.
Relics
Scholar adds 8% CRIT Rate and 20% Skill/Ultimate damage, plus 25% damage for the first Skill after Ultimate, without requiring debuffs absent from this team.
Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters gives CRIT and amplified damage against debuffed targets, including targets slowed by Dan Heng.
When to use it : Use another debuffer to maintain three debuffs; the listed Bronya/Tingyun/Huohuo team only supplies Dan Heng's Slow.
Two Scholar pieces plus two Eagle pieces give unconditional CRIT Rate and Wind DMG when three debuffs cannot be maintained.
Planar Ornaments
Rutilant Arena adds Skill and Basic Attack damage after 70% CRIT Rate, strengthening Dan Heng's repeatable single-target turn.
When to use it : Reach 70% sheet CRIT Rate before relying on its damage bonus.
Firmament Frontline: Glamoth rewards a faster Dan Heng with ATK and broad damage instead of tying the bonus to CRIT Rate.
When to use it : Reach at least 135 SPD; 160 SPD unlocks the second tier.
Team lineup
Bronya supplies the allied target and action advance Dan Heng needs, Tingyun adds ATK and Energy, and Huohuo sustains while accelerating Ultimates.
When to use it : For Ultimate RES PEN, target Dan Heng when Talent is available and cast Ultimate before his next Skill or Basic.

Trace priority
- Skill
- Ultimate
- Talent
- Basic ATK
Dan Heng uses Skill CRITs to Slow one enemy, then cashes that state into a stronger Ultimate while his Talent rewards allied targeting with Wind RES PEN.
How to play it
- 1Establish Slow with Skill before setting up the Ultimate window; Skill consumes an already active Talent.
- 2Use Skill until the priority enemy is Slowed; avoid moving to another target while Swordplay is stacking.
- 3When Talent is off its two-turn cooldown, have a support target Dan Heng and immediately cast Ultimate into the Slowed target, without another attack in between.
Sources and methodology
Editorial recommendations are written from released game data, then cross-checked against specialist calculations. They are not copied from a single tier list.
Review method
Character kits, equipment and conditions reviewed against released Version 4.6 data. Scholar becomes the main choice without external debuffs; Pioneer now explicitly needs another debuffer. Rotation reserves Talent for the next attack and respects its two-turn cooldown. Heretic boosts Basics while this build uses Skill and Ultimate. Race to the Horizon cannot stack CRIT DMG on Dan Heng, who has no follow-up. The change resolves the three-debuff mismatch with Bronya/Tingyun/Huohuo; no numerical Scholar advantage over a three-debuff team is claimed. This review includes no new damage simulation; historical community-analysis consultation dates are preserved. Methodological baseline from the previous dossier (review 4.4, reference calculations 1.0): The review separates sheet CRIT from combat buffs and preserves Dan Heng's target-and-Slow sequence: ally target to prime the Talent for exactly the next attack. Establish Slow first, then trigger the available Talent immediately before Ultimate; a Skill between them consumes the RES PEN.
