Our Honkai Star Rail Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae build guide will review his best relics, light cones, eidolons, and traces. He is the first ‘alter’ character in Honkai Star Rail and boasts a redesigned kit compared to the original Dan Heng.
Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is a 5-star Destruction character who can dish out Imaginary damage. While the character has been officially revealed, we are yet to see what his gameplay looks like. Based on leaks, the character can deal AOE Imaginary damage and has plenty of self-buffs built into his kit.
Before taking a look at Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, consider checking out our Welt build guide if you are looking for the perfect Imaginary support. You can also check out our Yukong build if you are going for a mono-Imaginary comp.
Honkai Star Rail Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae best light cone
Like all five-star characters in the game, the new iteration of Dan Heng should come with a 5-star signature light cone. Hoyoverse has yet to reveal any information about his light cone so far, so here are the other Destruction light cone options that you can consider.
Unlike most Destruction characters that scale their damage with HP, Dan Heng scales with attack, so you have limited options. His signature weapon and The Moles Welcome You might be your only options.
The Moles Welcome You
For every Basic ATK, Skill, and Ultimate used by the wearer, the wearer gains one stack of Mischievous. Each stack increases the wearer's ATK by 12%.
Honkai Star Rail Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae best relics
Wastelander of Banditry Desert is the go-to option for Dan Heng, but if you are not high Trailblaze Power yet and cannot consistently get 5-star relics, we recommend using a 4-star Musketeer set with the right main stat pieces to get the job done for now. Space Sealing Station is the best Planar Ornament option to pair with your primary relic set.
Wastelander of Banditry Desert
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Imaginary DMG by 10%.
- 4-Piece Bonus: When attacking debuffed enemies, the wearer's CRIT Rate increases by 10%. If the enemy is Imprisoned, the wearer's CRIT DMG increases by 20%.
Space Sealing Station
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases the wearer's ATK by 12%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's ATK increases by another 12%.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat
- 2-Piece Bonus: ATK increases by 10%.
- 4-Piece Bonus: The wearer's SPD increases by 6%, and Basic ATK DMG increases by 10%.
When farming for substats and main stats, you want to get as much crit rate and crit damage as possible for your main stats. For substats, you can focus on Attack, Imaginary damage bonus, and other offensive stats.
