Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae's Best Light Cones
Here are the best Light cones you should use for optimal performance.
 |
★★★★★ The 5-star Brighter Than the Sun Light Cone is the ideal choice for Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae due to its permanent full stack effect, granting significant boosts to Critical Rate, Attack Power, and Energy Regeneration throughout battles. |
|
★★★★★ If you can't obtain Brighter Than the Sun, the 5-star On the Fall of an Aeon Light Cone is a very close second. Its attack increase is excellent and easy to stack quickly. The second effect, which relies on Weakness Breaks, can be achieved regularly, especially if you have Silver Wolf on your team. |
 |
 |
★★★★ For a 4-star alternative, consider the Under the Blue Sky Light Cone. It provides a valuable Critical Rate increase in addition to an Attack Power bonus. The only drawback is that the Critical Rate boost relies on defeating enemies, requiring one freshly defeated enemy every three turns. |
Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae's Best Relics and Ornaments
|
Wastelander of Banditry Desert The recommended relic set for Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is the Wastelander of Banditry Desert set. It's ideal because it helps achieve a high Critical Rate and provides a bonus to Imaginary Damage. However, it requires your opponents to be under a debuff condition for the Imaginary Damage Bonus to work. The Critical Damage bonus is activated when Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae causes a Toughness Break to an opponent with Imaginary Weakness. |
 |
 |
For Planar Ornament set consider Rutilant Arena. It offers a substantial 20% Basic Attack damage increase as long as his Critical Rate is 70% or higher. Achieving this threshold can be challenging for some players. |
|
If you can't reach a 70% Critical Rate, the Inert Salsotto Planar Ornament set is a good alternative. It boosts Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae's Ultimate damage and only requires a 50% or higher Critical Rate. |
