Dan Heng's Recommended Eidolons

	Why We Recommend It
E1	★★★★☆ - Good Good CRIT Rate boost but is only active throughout half of the fight.
E2	★★★☆☆ - Decent Nice boost to his damage since it reduces the Talent's cooldown. Better if you can use his Ultimate in less than 2 turns every time.
E4	★★★★★ - Great Slightly similar to Seele's Resurgence buff. Great for cleaning up boss summons to maintain turn advantage.
E6	★★☆☆☆ - Situational A very situational upgrade for situations where you need your allies to take their turn first over the enemy.

Deal More DMG against Slowed Enemies

Dan Heng is a single-target DMG dealer whose attacks deal more DMG against enemies affected by Slow. His Basic Attacks and Ultimate in particular deal considerably more DMG if the target is slowed down.

Skill Can Slow Enemies Down

Dan Heng's Skill can hit a single enemy multiple times and if it is a CRIT Hit, will instantly Slow down the enemy. Use Dan Heng's Skill to Slow down enemies before using your Ultimate to deal as much DMG as possible.

Allies can Trigger Wind RES PEN

If a party member uses a Skill that affects Dan Heng, his next attacks will ignore enemy Wind RES. Combining this with a slowed-down enemy will dish out the most DMG possible with Dan Heng.

Have a Harmony, Abundance, or Preservation character in the party and use them to buff Dan Heng and trigger Wind RES Penetration.
