![Dan Heng and Dan Feng](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/dan-heng-and-dan-feng-honkai-star-rail.jpg?w=1024)
Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is a High Elder Vidyadhara of the Xianzhou Luofu who was reincarnated from Dan Feng, the last Imbibitor Lunae. Dan Feng was part of the high cloud quintet, with Jing Yuan, Jingliu, Blade and, Baiheng, a group of five heroes in Xianzhou history. He later committed an unforgivable crime against the Luofu and was forced to undergo hatching rebirth, and reincarnated in Dan Heng.
Vidyadhara are a part of Long Scions, who are a dragon-like species that go hatching rebirth. During the hatching rebirth, a Vidyadhara gets reincarnated in their body, prolonging their life span indefinitely. However, Vidyadharas are not immortal and can die if they are severely wounded, which prevents them from undergoing hatching rebirth. High Elders in Vidyadhara can turn into dragons and are the leaders of their society.

![Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae Attack Animation](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/dan-heng-imbibitor-lunae-attack-animation.jpg?w=1024)
- Dracore Libre (Skill): Enhances the basic attacks and can be applied 3 times. Using this Skill does not consume Skill points and is not considered using a Skill. Skill points are only used after using the corresponding Enhanced Basic Attack.
– Enhanced once, Beneficent Lotus becomes Transcendence.
– Enhanced twice, Beneficent Lotus becomes Divine Spear.
– Enhanced thrice, Beneficent Lotus becomes Fulgurant Leap.
Using the Divine Spear or Fulgurant Leap enhanced attacks gives 1 stack of Outroar for every hit from the Fourth hit. Each stack of Outroar increases Dan Heng IL’s Crit damage by 15% (max 4 stacks). These stacks last until the end of his turn. - Azure’s Aqua Ablutes All (Ultimate): Deals a 3-hit attack dealing Imaginary damage equal to 360% of Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae’s attack to a single enemy and 168% of his attack to adjacent enemies. Furthermore, obtain 2 Squama Sacrosancta (max 3) and it can be consumed in place of Skill points.
- Righteous Heart (Talent): Gain 1 stack of Righteous Heart (max 6 stacks) for each hit dealt to enemies during an attack. Each stack of Righteous Heart increases damage by 12.5%, and lasts until the end of his turn.
- Heaven-Quelling Prismadrakon (Technique): Enters the Leaping Dragon state for 20 seconds, which enables him to rapidly move for a set distance, attack all enemies he touches, and block all incoming attacks. After entering combat, deal Imaginary Damage equal to 120% of his Attack to all enemies and gain 1 Squama Sacrosancta.
Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae has a simple kit, with the Skill button enhancing his basic attacks up to 3 times. The first enhancement allows him to do a 3-hit single target attack, the second enhancement lets him do a 5-hit blast attack, and the third enhancement allows him to do a 7-hit blast attack.
In most cases, it’s best to use his 2nd or 3rd enhanced basic attack in each of his turns to get the maximum damage output. However, you must make sure to recover Skill Points using your other allies.
Furthermore, his Ultimate is a strong Blast attack which also gives him Squama Sacrosancta that can be used to replace skill points.
Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is one of the strongest characters in Honkai Star Rail, and using the correct Relics and Stats on him can make him extremely broken. Here are Dan Heng IL’s best relics, planar ornaments, and main and sub stats for his best build.
Best Relics for Dan Heng IL in HSR
![Thief of Shooting Meteor Relic Set](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/wastelander-of-banditry-desert-relic-set-honkai-star-rail.jpg?w=1024)
- 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert
- 4-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat
The 4-piece Wastelander of Banditry Desert is the best relic set for Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae as it grants him a 10% Imaginary Damage increase. Also, the 4-piece buff can be easily achieved by having a Welt, Silver Wolf, or Pela in the team.
The 4-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat is also a good alternative for Dan Heng IL. It grants a good attack and speed boost, which are quite good for him.
Best Planar Ornaments for Dan Heng IL in HSR
![Rutilant arena planar ornament set](https://beebom.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/rutilent-arena-planar-ornament-set-honkai-star-rail.jpg?w=1024)
- 2-piece Rutilant Arena
- 2-piece Inert Salsotto
The 2-piece Rutilant Arena is currently the undisputed best Planar Ornament set for Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae. It gives him an 8% Crit Rate increase and once you reach the 70% or higher Crit Rate, it grants a 20% damage boost to basic attacks and skill damage.
The 2-piece Inert Salsotto can be a good alternative, if you are lacking good stats on the Rutilant Arena ornament set.
Main and Sub Stats for Best Dan Heng IL Builds
Relics | Main / Sub-Stat |
---|---|
Head | HP / Crit Damage % = Crit Rate % > Attack % > Speed |
Hands | Attack / Crit Damage % = Crit Rate % > Attack % > Speed |
Body | Crit Rate %/ Crit Damage % > Attack % > Speed |
Feet | Attack % > Speed / Crit Damage % = Crit Rate % > Attack % > Speed > Effect Hit Rate % |
Planar Sphere | Imaginary Damage Boost / Crit Damage % = Crit Rate % > Attack % > Speed |
Link Rope | Attack % / Crit Damage % = Crit Rate % > Speed |
When it comes to Dan Heng IL’s stats, first make sure to hit the 70% Crit Rate threshold for fully utilizing the Rutilant Arena set. Next, stack as much Attack %, Crit Damage %, and Speed as you can on him.
Stacking Speed on Dan Heng IL to reach speed breakpoints can both be good and bad depending on your play style. A faster Dan Heng IL means more attacks per cycle, but harder to manage skill points, while a slower Dan Heng IL has fewer attacks but more manageable Skill Point efficiency.
