During the Version 1.3 update, Hoyoverse released the first five-star character inHonkai: Star Railwhich was an upgraded version of an existing four-star in the game. However, the path and combat type of the two characters are different. The character in question is Dan Heng, and his five-star version is called Imbibitor Lunae.
He follows the path of Destruction with Imaginary as the combat type. Unlike the four-star version, you can only get this character when he’s featured on the Character Event Warp banner. With the correct build, Imbibitor Lunae has the power to destroy everything in the game.

Best Relics And Planar Ornaments For Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae
You might get your main ATK by upgrading the Light Cone and the character, butmost of your damage for Imbibitor Lunae comes out of his Relics and Planar Ornaments. With the Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and overall DMG provided by his kit, using the right set bonuses makes him unstoppable.
Thankfully, he also has aton of choices for both beginner and veteran playersin the game, and here’s everything you can use:
Relics
Wastelander of Banditry Desert
This can be the best in slot Relic set for Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae,but there are a few requirements. Firstly, you’d have to use another Nihility character like Pela alongside him so that you’re able to apply debuffs on the enemies.
This will give you the extra Crit Rate from the four-piece, but you’ll only get the Crit DMGwhen you trigger a Weakness Break on the enemy using his Imaginary abilities.
Musketeer of Wild Wheat
If you don’t want to use a set that is as situational as the one above, you’re able to farm for the Wild Wheat set for some general buffs. With the four-piece bonus,you can get some ATK, SPD, and Basic ATK DMG on him.
These are the best stats you’re able to get sincemost of his DMG comes out of his Basic ATK.
Planar Ornaments
Rutilant Arena
Rutilant Arena is undoubtedly the best Ornament set for him, but you do need to have at least a 70 percent Crit Rate for it to work.The set increases his Skill and Basic ATK DMG by 20 percent.
While the Skill DMG buff might be useless for Imbibitor Lunae, the Basic ATK DMG makes up for it.
Sprightly Vonwacq
One look at Imbibitor Lunae’s kit and you’ll realize that he is quite a Skill Point-hungry character if you don’t have a good uptime on his Ultimate. There are two ways to prevent this,and one of them is by using this set.
With an Energy Regeneration Rope and Sprightly Vonwacq, you’ll be able to get his Ultimate back much faster. However,you don’t need this set if you’re using him with Tingyun.
Firmament Frontline
This set gives you 12 percent ATK and DMG once you have 135 SPD. You can get up to 18 percent DMG with it, butyou likely won’t have high enough SPD for that on Imbibitor Lunae.
Both the ATK and DMG boost are quite good for this character,making this set a decent runner-up.
Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae Relic Stat Priority
Other than the set bonuses, you also have to pay attention to thepersonal main and sub-stats of each Relic and Planar Ornament. Since Imbibitor Lunae is a DPS character, it can be quite hard to farm for his Relics, but here are the main stats you should be looking for:
HP (guaranteed)
ATK (guaranteed)
Link Rope
ATK Percent > Energy Regeneration Rate
For the sub-stats, you can look for as muchCrit DMG, Crit Rate, SPD, and ATKas possible.
Best Light Cones For Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae
You can only use the Light Cones with the Destruction path on Imbibitor Lunae, but you still get a ton of choices:
Brighter Than The Sun
Imbibitor Lunae’s signature weapon gives himextra Crit Rate, ATK, and Energy Regeneration Rate. All these stats are vital for him and can significantly increase his damage, making this Light Cone his best in slot.
I Shall Be My Own Sword
If you’re lucky enough to have Jingliu’s signature Light Cone, it can be the second-best choice for Imbibitor Lunae. Hegains a 14 percent DMG boost for the next attackwhenever one of his allies get attacked, which can be quite common in endgame content.
Moreover, getting three stacks of this effect alsoallows you to ignore the enemy’s DEF, which is one of the best effects to have in the game.
On the Fall Of An Aeon
This might be a five-star Light Cone, but it’s available for free through the Herta Store. The best part about it is thatyou can easily get it to Superimposition Five as well. It increases his ATK whenever he attacks and his DMG on triggering Weakness Break.
These effects go well with the Wasteland of Banditry Desert Relic set as well.
The Moles Welcome You
This is a simple four-star Light Cone that can suit Imbibitor Lunaeif you don’t have the free five-star mentioned above. Whenever your Basic ATK or Ultimate hits an enemy, this Cone gives you some extra ATK.
A Secret Vow
This Light Cone gives you a 40 percent base DMG increase at Superimposition Five while giving youanother 40 percent if the enemy’s health is equal to or higher than you. However, you might not use the second part on Imbibitor Lunae too much.
You’ll only get the first 40 percent increase most of the time since he doesn’t have any ability to reduce his own health, but that buff is still quite good.
Collapsing Sky
Finally, if you don’t have any other options mentioned above, you may use Collapsing Sky toget a 40 percent Basic ATK DMG increase at Superimposition Five.

After upgrading these three Traces,you can finally upgrade the Ultimate to get a little higher damage. Of course, it’s important to get all his Bonus Abilities and side nodes whenever you can since these canincrease his Crit Rate and Imaginary DMG Bonus.
Is Imbibitor Lunae Dan Heng Worth Pulling?
Imbibitor Lunae is arguably one of the strongest characters in the game, and you can already see that just byreading the sheer amount of buffs he gets from his Traces. He also has a scaling of 500 percent at the maximum level of his Enhanced Basic Attack, which is seldom seen even in Hunt characters.
If your account lacks a DPS character and you enjoy Imbibitor Lunae’s play style,you should undoubtedly attempt to get him. However, you’ll need a few characters who can regenerate Skill Points like Luocha or Silver Wolf with him. If you’re planning to get some Eidolons, you’re able to stop at the second one since that’s his best.
