Five-star Dan Heng is a prime example of a character capable of delivering major DPS damage. He comes in rather handy when taking down exceptionally hard bosses. Despite being able to one-shot lower-tier grunts, Dan Heng needs a good team to balance out his abilities and to make sure he lasts longer on the battlefield.

10Pela

Pela is an intelligence officer who’s just as capable of handling the affairs of the Silvermane Guards. She brings with her the ability to debuff and heal from enemy attacks.

Not only that, as an Ice elemental she also dishes out AoE damage that targets more than one enemy and further slows them down with her effects. Pela’s also good at chipping away the enemy’s defense stats as well.

9Ting Yun

The Fox lady of the Whistling Flame Merchant’s Guild isn’t just preoccupied with handling transactions and business affairs. She’s surprisingly very viable on the ground when it comes down to it. Ting Yun’s a versatile support character who can actually buff up Dan Heng’s attacks.

This character is great at restoring the team’s energy, and her ultimate can deal a surprising amount of lightning damage to nerfed enemies — especially if they are weak to lightning elementals.

8Natasha

Despite having her hands full with her full-time duty of being a more than capable doctor for the Underworld, Natasha still manages and leads the Wildfires. She’s a follower of the Path of Abundance and is a Physical elemental.

Although her attacks don’t wind up dealing any critical damage they do passively regenerate the team, not only that, her ultimate is a great way to heal the other party members too. Paired up with the right kind of heavy hitters like Welt or Himeko, she can help you overcome any foe.

7Welt

As mysterious as Welt is, his ability to essentially break the game is far too saucy to ignore. He has the powers of the Imaginary and he can use them to guarantee your team gets more hits in before the enemies recover from his devastating attacks.

Welt is a nuanced character who’s tough to build right since he needs to get paired up withhigh DPS attackersand healers who can keep the loop going for him. He nerfs the enemy’s speed stats and also leaves an imprisoning effect on them.

6Bronya

As a wind elemental much like Dan Heng, Bronya specializes in dealing Single DPS damage to beefy enemies. Since her build essentially revolves around taking out one single foe, the team she needs to get paired up with should consist of AoE attackers and characters who can buff up her damage output.

If you’d prefer to build a team of individuals dedicated to mowing down hordes of enemies then pairing her up with Imbibitor Lunae might be your safest bet. She’ll come in handy when you need to finish off any enemies that survive Dan Heng’s attacks or ultimate.

5Yukong

Yukong is a top-tier support character and needs a decent team to boost up to be viable in battle. Since Yukong’s an Imaginary elemental, she pairs up quite well with characters like Welt and deals a substantial amount of nerfs in order to make your conquest easier.

She even buffs up your DPS characters by increasing their Attack and Crit rates, which will help Dan Heng significantly. This works in tandem with her ability to regenerate energy for herself as well.

4Silver Wolf

Introduced to you at the start of the story, Silver Wolf is an impressive hacker who can manipulate data and reality at will and is a capable member of the Stellaron Hunters. She’s a top-tier character who can change the tide of the battle by augmenting your enemy’s resistance to Quantum damage and making them prone to developing a weakness to your team’s main abilities.

She functions well as a support character and her ultimate amplifies her Quantum attack power significantly whilst nerfing the enemy’s defense.

3Luocha

Luocha is perhaps one of the best healers in the game if utilized right and can probably be considered an essential character if you’re looking to build up an overpowered team for Five-star Dan Heng.

Not only does his ultimate strip away an enemy’s buff, but he’s also an Imaginary elemental who can amplify his own strengths with each attack. He’s an AoE attacker plus the party’s healer, thus this makes him a super viable individual to have on the team.

2Asta

Asta may be an okay character when it comes to her abilities, but with the right team, she can essentially amplify Imbibitor Lunae’s attack speed. This way, she will increase your team’s overall chance of dealing significant damage before your enemies can recover from the effects of the last attack and mount a counter initiative.

Astas’s a Fire elemental whose effects also stack up over time, thus she can come in rather handy during big raids even though her attack power isn’t anything to write home about. She also pairs up fairly well with other support characters like healers or AoE attackers.

1Bailu

Bailu’s one of the better healers at your disposal if you’ve pulled her despite the fact that she doesn’t apply any nerfs on the enemies. Her healing stats are fairly substantial and that makes her an asset for yourheavy damage-dealing team.

Bailu can also use her ability to revive a fallen ally once per battle, so if you ever find yourself in a pinch, and your Imbibitor Lunae winds up perishing to your foes, she can help you recover and pull off a surprise victory. With the right build, a leveled-up Bailu can help your team auto-battle too.
