Cruising in the Stellar SeaCruising in the Stellar Sea supplies unconditional CRIT Rate and more CRIT/ATK against weakened enemies, smoothing the Rutilant threshold.

Relics

Two Scholar pieces plus two Eagle pieces give unconditional CRIT Rate and Wind DMG when three debuffs cannot be maintained.
Planar Ornaments

When to use it : Reach at least 135 SPD; 160 SPD unlocks the second tier.

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
- 1Have a support target Dan Heng to activate his Talent before the main damage window.
- 2Use Skill until the priority enemy is Slowed; avoid moving to another target while Swordplay is stacking.
- 3Cast Ultimate into the Slowed target while Talent and support buffs are active.
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
The review separates sheet CRIT from combat buffs and preserves Dan Heng's target-and-Slow sequence: ally target to prime the Talent, Skill to inflict Slow, then Ultimate for its multiplier.
