Here he is, the next iteration of Dan Heng. If this keeps up, we’re going to have at least 7 versions of him by the time Honkai: Star Rail ends. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. DHIL was particularly strong in his time, and now DHPT is looking like he’s going to be quite a good Support. Course, the Preservation field is so limited that it’s not really that high a bar to climb over.
How Does Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae Work
Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae is a 5-Star Physical Preservation unit who creates Shields for his team and provides damage through his Summoned dragon.
Bond of Friendship
DHPT uses his Skill to designate one teammate as his “Bondmate”, while also Shielding all allies and summoning a “Souldragon”. This “Souldragon” has an initial SPD of 165. When it attacks, it dispels 1 debuff from all allies and provides a Shield to them all as well.
After DHPT uses his Ultimate (which deals damage to all enemies and provides all allies with a Shield), the “Souldragon” is Enhanced. When it takes an action, besides the stuff it already does, it DHPT will first launch a Follow-Up Attack and then the “Souldragon” will deal Additional DMG based on the Attribute of the “Bondmate”. So, it is attached to a Fire unit, it will deal Fire DMG. This Enhancement lasts for 2 “Souldragon” actions.
Give a Little, Get a Little
DHPT’s first passive increases the ATK of his designated “Bondmate” by 15% of DHPT’s own ATK. When his designated “Bondmate” attacks, DHPT’s second passive allows him to regenerate 6 Energy and advances the “Souldragon’s” turn by 15%. It also advances DHPT’s action by 40% when the combat starts.
His final passive provides a Shield to the teammate with the lowest Shield value when the “Souldragon” takes an action. Additionally, when the “Souldragon” takes an Enhanced turn, it will deal 1 instance of Additional DMG to the enemy target whose HP is the highest.
What to Build on Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae
ATK. ATK is your best friend. It increases the sustainability of his Shields. Get an ATK Chest and ATK Orb. As for Boot and Chain, go SPD and Energy Regen.
His best Cavern Relic set is the Self-Enshrouded Recluse. For Planar Ornaments, go for Lushaka, the Sunken Sea (though Space Sealing Station is also viable).
His BiS Light Cone is his own. In fact, since you get him for free, you should throw a few warps towards it. There really isn’t a good alternative 5-Star Preservation Light Cone. The only real alternative Light Cone that is viable for him is the 4-Star Journey, Forever Peaceful.
Who Synergizes with Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae
Most DPS characters would work well with him. Phainon, Feixiao, Archer, Saber, Aglaea, anyone fast really. The more often his “Bondmate” goes, the more often the “Souldragon” goes, and the more Shield it creates.
