Honkai: Star Rail introduces you to Dan Heng, the last member of its main trio, fairly early on in the Main Story. You’ll receive you free copy of this character, and he can pack quite the punch if you know how to build him well. Here’s how I would recommend to building him, using the best Light Cones, Relics, and the right team.
Best Light Cone for Dan Heng in Honkai Star Rail
TheBest Light Coneto use for Dan Heng is eitherSleep Like the DeadorCruising in the Stellar Sea. I prefer the latter for Dan Heng, as it is a weapon you can also obtain and fully Superimpose for free. It’s purchased from Herta’s Store in the Simulated Universe for eight Herta Bonds, and each item used to Superimpose the Light Cone cost two Herta Bonds.
Best free-to-play Light Cone for Dan Heng in Honkai Star Rail
While you are waiting to earn that Light Cone, you could use other four-star Light Cones likeOnly Silence RemainsorSwordplay. You will likely obtain one copy of one or the other fairly quickly by pulling on any Gacha Banner. If you are still in a pinch, you could useAdversarial, one of the bestThree-Star Light Cones.

Best Relic sets for Dan Heng in Honkai Star Rail
For the best effect, you should try to give Dan Heng theEagle of Twilight LineRelic Set. It boosts both Wind damage and Advances his actions forward. For Planar Ornaments, you could use either theCelestial DifferentiatororInert SalsottoSets, which boost Critical Damage and Rate, respectively. If you can’t decide which one you need, remember that it is generally best for characters to have a 1:2 Critical Rate to Critical Damage ratio.
Which of Dan Heng’s Stats should you boost?
Dan Heng is a damage dealing character first and foremost, so you should focus on that. Here are the Main stats I recommend focusing on for the four Relic pieces that can vary:
Dan Heng’s Path and Element in Honkai Star Rail
The Path the Dan Heng follows in The Hunt, so he specializes in single-target damage. He is a Wind element character, of which there are currently only three, so he may be your only Wind element character for a while if you miss out on Bronya or Sampo.
Who pairs well with Dan Heng in Combat?
Those other two Wind element characters,BronyaandSampo, definetly work well with Dan Heng when they are fighting enemies weak to the Wind Element. Dan Heng’s damage is also boosted by enemies being afflicted with Slow, so if you haveWeltin your roster, he can help to reliably boost Dan Heng’s damage. Don’t forget to bring defensive characters in any team that you build, likeMarch 7thorNatasha.
