Overall Tier A

Da Pan is a Physical DPS that can apply Vulnerability through his kit. When an enemy has 4 Vulnerability stacks, these stacks can be consumed with Da Pan's Combo Skill to deal damage to the enemy.

Da Pan's trump card is his Combo Skill and Ultimate combo with the Salty or Mild Talent. Every enemy hit by Da Pan's Ultimate lets him gain Prep Ingredients stacks, which he can consume to lower his Combo Skill cooldown. This makes Da Pan a strong DPS when facing multiple enemies, but he is less effective when up against a single target.

How to Play Da Pan

As a Controlled Operator

Da Pan Teammate Guide


Da Pan's role is to be the DPS that deals damage through inflicting Vulnerability with his Skills and finishing them off with the use of his Ultimate.

Lift with Battle Skill

Da Pan's Battle Skill will let him charge up and then deal Physical DMG. Da Pan's Battle Skill inflicts Lift, which applies Vulnerability on an enemy.

Crush Enemies with Combo Skill

Da Pan's Combo Skill will be triggered after an enemy receives four stacks of Vulnerability. When unleashed, Da Pan will deal massive Physical DMG to the enemy and apply Crush on them.

Deal Massive DMG with Ultimate

Who is Da Pan? (Lore)

Administrative Support and Liaison

Da Pan was the Administrative Support of Hongshan Academy of Sciences and is currently assigned to Endfield Industries as a Specialist Liaison. Despite the complicated names of his roles, Da Pan is essentially the go-to individual for cooking and household maintenance.

Out of all the professional tasks he is responsible for, Da Pan primarily enjoys cooking and deems it his crowning achievement, as he is responsible for testing native ingredients and combining different cuisines. With the help of cookery, Da Pan can reliably build rapport with any organization!

However, despite his focus on what others deem as menial, do not underestimate Da Pan's intelligence, as he is lauded as a major contributor to science. This achievement is cemented by a special bottle that Da Pan carries all the time.
