Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae (DHPT) is a 5-star Physical Preservation unit built around a bonded ally (“Bondmate”) and a unique summon (Souldragon). Unlike DEF-scaled shielders, his protection and support scale with ATK. He sustains the party by generating shields and amplifies a chosen carry’s damage via follow-ups and buffs triggered through his summon.

How Dan Heng PT’s kit drives value

DHPT assigns a Bondmate and brings out Souldragon, a summon with its own Speed that acts on the timeline. The summon advances forward when the Bondmate attacks, effectively syncing your carry’s turns with more Souldragon actions. His Ultimate enhances this loop: it grants stacks that convert into follow-up damage on Souldragon’s actions, scaling off the Bondmate’s ATK.

All of DHPT’s shields come from ATK, and shield instances can stack, with a cap that prevents the total from growing beyond a multiple of his Skill shield. This makes ATK% and action frequency core to both his survivability and team damage contribution.

Trace leveling priority

  • Skill: top priority for higher shield values and consistent uptime.
  • Ultimate: second; it powers the enhanced Souldragon loop and adds team throughput.
  • Bonus Abilities: unlock early for smoother rotations and utility.
  • Talent: mid priority.
  • Basic ATK: lowest priority.

Best light cones (by role and availability)

Light Cone What it does When to use
Though Worlds Apart (signature) Massive ATK for DHPT and team sustain on Ultimate (heals scale with his ATK). Grants a 3‑turn team damage buff that can reach up to 36% in the right conditions. Best-in-slot. It directly feeds his ATK-scaling shields and adds a high-impact team buff window on every Ultimate.
Journey, Forever Peaceful (4★) Increases the wearer’s Shield Effect and adds a team damage bonus while allies are shielded (scales with superimposition). Strong budget pick that strengthens his core shielding loop and provides consistent team damage.
We Are Wildfire (4★) Reduces damage taken by all allies for the first five turns and instantly restores a portion of missing HP at battle start. Good early or F2P option, especially in prolonged or high-pressure fights.
Moment of Victory (5★) DEF and Effect Hit Rate with increased chance to be attacked. Usable for its solid stat stick, but it doesn’t scale DHPT’s shields as he relies on ATK rather than DEF.
Landau’s Choice (4★) Increases the chance to be targeted. Emergency pick when you want to redirect hits; otherwise lower priority.

Relics and planar ornaments

Slot Best set Why it fits DHPT
Relics (4pc) Self‑Enshrouded Recluse Boosts Shield Effect and grants shielded allies +15% CRIT DMG while DHPT’s shields are active, blending sustain with party DPS.
Planar (2pc) Lushaka, the Sunken Seas +5% Energy Regeneration Rate for more Ultimates; if DHPT isn’t in team slot one, the first character gains +12% ATK—perfect for hypercarries.
Planar (alt.) Space Sealing Station ATK% to raise shield numbers and slightly amplify Bondmate scaling.

Stats priority and practical targets

Piece Main stat Substats Notes
Body ATK% SPD, ATK% ATK drives shields and parts of his support output.
Feet SPD SPD, ATK% More turns = more shields and Ultimate cycles.
Planar Sphere ATK% SPD, ATK% Reliable scaling for both sustain and damage contribution.
Link Rope Energy Regeneration Rate or ATK% SPD, ATK% ERR rope if you need faster Ultimates; ATK% if Energy is comfortable.

Recommended checkpoints: around 134+ SPD for smoother turn cycles; aim for high ATK (e.g., ~3400+) as gear allows. If using Lushaka, place DHPT outside slot one to activate the ATK boost for your carry.

Eidolons (what actually changes)

Eidolon Effect Impact
E1: Shed Scales of Old On Ultimate, restores 1 Skill Point and grants the Bondmate +18% All‑Type RES PEN for 3 turns. High-value spike in team DPS and economy; a standout upgrade for support output.
E2: Watch Trails to Blaze Enhanced Souldragon gains +2 actions; after Ultimate, Souldragon advances by 100%. On enhanced Souldragon’s action, the Bondmate’s Additional DMG and the Shield Effect provided in that instance become 200% of their original values. Supercharges the follow-up loop and defensive uptime; strong but situationally overkill.
E4: By Oath, This Vessel Is I Reduces damage taken by the Bondmate by 20%. Quality-of-life durability; modest impact compared to E1/E2.
E6: One Dream to Enfold All Wilds While the Bondmate is on the field, enemies take +20% damage; Bondmate’s damage ignores 12% DEF. Teamwide debuff and personal penetration for late-game scaling.

If you’re choosing between his first Eidolon and the signature Light Cone at S1 for pure team damage, E1 typically delivers more consistent value thanks to the Skill Point refund and RES PEN window.

Teams and synergies

DHPT fits best in ATK-based hypercarry shells where one unit consumes most turns and resources.

  • Hypercarry core: Bond DHPT to a primary DPS that thrives on ATK scaling, such as recent single-target or stance-switch carries. His Souldragon keeps acting as the carry attacks, creating a reinforcing loop of shields and follow-ups.
  • Phainon synergy: The summon persists in Phainon’s Territory, letting DHPT maintain sustain while the carry operates under special states.
  • Buff slots: Flexible—slot high-output buffers or debuffers (e.g., damage amp, ATK or CRIT support) to capitalize on the Redoubt window from his Ultimate if you’re using the signature Light Cone.
  • F2P baseline: He comfortably sustains a Dan Heng (4★) DPS setup and keeps the team protected while your budget buffers fill in around them.
Tip: With Lushaka equipped, place your carry in team slot one to gain the extra ATK, and keep DHPT elsewhere in the lineup to trigger the ornament’s bonus.

How to play DHPT turn to turn

  • Open by applying his Skill to establish shields and set up the Bondmate loop.
  • Cycle Ultimate early to enable enhanced Souldragon actions and the follow-up stacks window.
  • Maintain SPD and Energy so Souldragon can keep pace with your carry. ERR rope is the safer pick until Ultimate uptime feels automatic.
  • Refresh shields preemptively if incoming damage will break them; his ATK-scaling means offensive gear also raises safety margins.

The build is straightforward: stack ATK, hit key Speed, and keep the summon acting. With the right relics and an ATK-hungry carry, Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae functions as both a wall and a damage engine—exactly the kind of support a modern hypercarry team wants.
