Why Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae Is The New BEST DPS | Honkai: Star Rail 

The Best Damage Dealer in Honkai Star Rail is the Gacha System, the Damage it can deal to us and our wallets is staggering

MC gets stabbed: He gets a cool fire shield-lance and could control a giant Gundam for a bit in that one boss fight. Dan gets stabbed: he transform into his water dragon demigod form and is an water bending avatar of destruction March 7th: *sweating*

i pulled for him immediately less because of his status as a damage dealer and more because dan heng's character story is so fascinating to me and i just love characters with complicated backstories. reincarnation? the previous self having done something and the current self having to bear the burden?? and the whole found family aspect of the astral express crew??? yum yum yum, don't mind if i do also dragon men go brrr

I have a reason for pulling him despite me having Seele, Jing Yuan and Blade: I need an imaginary damage dealer

Something to mention is that while he does need sp efficient supports, there are 2 4*s that are very sp efficient and greatly enhance his damage. Tingyun gives him attack and energy, Pela has an aoe def shred.

Vars: This is the best DPS in Star Rail "Vars is the seventh week in a row you show the best DPS in class"

Watching this as I wait for the update to download. I skipped Blade and Kafka for this man, I am so excited. My days of sitting on Yanqing, Jing Yuan, and Sushang as my only DPS options are over 😃

I was hoping skipping the last 3 banners was a good idea, I’m glad it was! Just had to have the Dan Heng dragon man :D

I won the 50/50 after spending my guarantee on Kafka. Having Kafka, Dan Heng and Seele, I feel like I'm already pretty good on DPS, so time to save for Silver Wolf's Rerun and maybe get Seele's Light Cone.

I don't think we can really talk about best dmg dealers overall, only best dd for one element, because the gameplay in sr is very different from genshin, since in the latter, you only meet some enemies with certain resistances, while in sr, the best option is usually a dps with the correct dmg type for each enemy.

I pulled for him because he is the reason I finally caved and played this game. 😂 I didn’t have a Imaginary DPS, so I knew he would be my full invested DPS. He has a 3 star LC on and just seeing how powerful he is makes me grateful I started this game-he’s so much fun.

Got him on 14th pity, so i am happy

every future dps in the game will be the best dps until a new dps is release . That's why ill just summon for Daniel and if i get him ill save every single summons for dupes of SW, Loucha, Kafka and him (priority is e6 Loucha cause he is every single type of character in one). The only exception for this is when mihoyo decided to make a 5star March 7th. If Dan Heng have one, why not for March 7th? 😢😢

Just got him after 6 pulls. This is my first limited banner in the game since I’ve been playing star rail for about 5 days

"of five skillpoints, three must pay a price"

As a f2p trying to keep with new units is the easiest trap to fall into. From now on I'm just gonna save special banner pulls and use them on Light Cones instead to strenghten the units I already have.

I have been waiting since Luocha's banner to get Dan Heng, as he is my favourite character, and I'm so happy I did it. I am a bit sad I couldn't get Blade but DH is so fun and strong, despite me having crap artefacts and not enough ressources for him yet. Plus I got really really lucky and got his LC ( got him and his LC in 50 pulls with only him being guaranteed wtf). I'm gonna give my all to make him my best build ever !

I was going to pull for him solely for his animations. I LOVE his maxed out basic atk one especially

Can't wait to get him. I'm at 40 pity with a guaranteed so hopefully I can soon! :D

shame that i see a lot of people still dissing him even after how disgustingly broken he perform in release, i guess the only thing that can satisfy these lustful weebs are hot women eh.... i can already imagine if IL was a waifu, people gonna be head over heels and start worshipping just like seele was, what a world we live in.

I got Daniel and put him on my team right away. Even when under leveled, he was dealing so much damage against the Stagnant Shadow. I can't wait to level him up fully!

Despite the fact that I have E1 Seele,her light one and Blade as a F2p I still pulled for him. I don’t really care if he won’t be as useful on my account but I REALLY like him and I know I won’t regret.

I’m gonna pull for him to, even though I’m almost completely drained on Star Jade. Although they haven’t really given me much reason to think I’d lose the 50/50 on the special banner so far.

always appreciate the fire emblem music

I have no choice but to wait for his rerun. I simply can’t pull him right now as I want Fu Xuan.

im lucky enough to already have Welt and Luocha so i’m passing on Imagine Dragon Daniel this time around! instead im saving for Fu Xuan cause she just looks really fun to me + Jingliu bc im in desperate need of an ice damage dealer (i am Yanqing-less 😔)

I find that mono img with luocha/yukong/SW is really good for him and i can use his 3 sp attack without having trouble with skill points. Yukong e6 is why i dont need to use skill on anymore

I already splurged a fair amount on Kafka, I'm probably gonna save for Fu Xuan since I need a Quantum unit and/or Topaz for STONKS

I'm a Day 1 player, completely F2P (aside from a couple ESPs i got from giveaways). I managed to get E1 Bronya, and got Battle cone in the starlight shop and that made me almost always have 4-5 skill points every turn, so Imbibitor Lunae was a good pull for my account. I also have Seele, Jing Yuan, Blade, and Clara. Having all these skill point generation and characters that dont need too much skill points made me stop using my Preservation characters, and just have healers for sustain (with them having ERR Vonwacq so they just basic attack). So, i dont feel the need for Fu Xuan, she'll just steal aggro from Blade and Clara...but i am pulling on her banner for Lynx

Having got an early Kafka off the back of a soft-pity Bronya as my first five-star (poetic, that she was my Seele loss), DH-IL not only won himself in the same earliness as Kafka, but _E1'd_ just after. Even in Genshin, I don't have event five-star duplicates. So, dipping into Star Rail proper is gonna be vicious~

Lord ravager:I am Destruction embodied! ILDan heng: we'll see about that

How do I make Blade work without Luocha/Bailu tho? Natasha is my only healer.

Okay. If you have luocha, PUT MULTIPLICATION ON HIM. Yes, you will sacrifice some healing and/or ER via quid pro quo etc, however Luocha can keep his cool with survivability as is. And multiplication is a must have 3* s5 light cone to use if you use Luocha in tandem with IL. Basically, Luocha becames a very efficient sp generator thanks to the 20% advance from using basic attacks. Edit: Natasha and Bailu can use it too, however they are much more reliant on other light cones for ER and healing output.

Dan Heng IL is what made me swipe, rip my wallet but I managed to get him and his light cone (and Clara, lost 50/50). Now I'm just gonna save going forward :') Good luck on everyone's pulls!!

I have all 4 star characters and 5star characters i have are bailu, e1 geopard, himeko, seele and silver wolf. The problem i have is: no dps other than seele so should i get new dan heng should i get mono quantam team

I won the last 3 50/50 hoping to keep this winning streak going but I absolutely love imbibitor lunar he’s amazing! I do like 100k level 3 basic attacks and not even full leveled yet

I have gepard, luocha, bailu as sustain units. I have seele, and kafka as dps units, but it's hard to maximize kafka's potential as of now due to her having no premium DoT team yet, tho she's still great rn, however i pulled dan heng cuz aside from im lacking on the dps side, i also have all the possible characters to team with him except bronya. (And yeah im a fan of big numbers) ☺️

i pulled dan heng IL and im currently using him in a mono img team with luocha, e6 yukong and e1 welt. idk if this team would work without yukong's e6 but basically luocha barely uses sp, welt can def shred on normal atks and yukong gives insane crit and atk buffs so thats what works for me and i havent had any SP issues w this team. from the beginning of the game ive wanted fu xuan, so i only pulled seele (had to bc i came from hi3), accidentally got her e1, then silver wolf and luocha. i skipped blade jing yuan and kafka to be able to guarantee fu xuan but since i had a surplus amount of pulls, i decided to pull for dan heng IL and i dont regret it bc his team requirement dont impede with my mono quantum team w fu xuan sw lynx and seele so might as well 🗿

DHIL pairs really well with any unit that only requires 1 SP for their skill every so often and just does a lot passively. For example, Fu Xuan, with just one use of her ability, gives the entire team increased crit rate (or DMG, I forget), max HP, and DMG redirection to herself for several turns. She can also heal herself in emergencies, reducing the need for a healer when paired with her skill. Yeah these 2 work well together.

I pulled him because other than Yukon’s, I don’t have any other imagination characters. I have yet to pull Welt, and I don’t have Silver Wolf to give me big weaknesses, so I struggle against all enemies that have an imaginary weakness since that was one less weakness I could take advantage of.

I wonder if he’s good when paired with Blade since they can kinda share sp back and forth

If I wasn't saving up for the inevitable Raiden Mei/Ei expy we'll be getting eventually I would totally pull for him. I have 430 wishes saved up already (not f2p, but low spending). I just really want to get E6 S5 or Raiden when she comes out.

He is hot and a really interesting character plus i have jingyuan and blade so ofc i needed to pull for him and lucky me i won 50/50 and at 50 pity❤, now that i have the important members of the cloud quintlet i can just save until argeti, as soon as another imaginary character that isnt an easy skip releases i will make a monoimaginary team with welt, luocha and dan heng IL, but i just hope argenti is quantum to start playing with that element too, cus so far all quatum characters are so easy to skip or to just leave at lvl 20 like qinque or whatever her name is i havent bothered to play quantum

i kid you not all the characters ive built were sitting on 70 and so like my e2s1 Dan Heng is too goated man i saved every mat possible, totally worth it

How good would be the BP LC for Harmony on Tingyun in Dan Heng's team considering it's the Widsith of the bunch, giving either Atk, Crit Dmg or ER, while the three are good for Dan Heng, maybe the luck based isn't as good ?

Got him in 11 pulls while doing 2 full 10 pulls. At 51 pity. This is a Back to back 50 pity 50/50 win as I also got Blade at 50 pity and this is while using their Predecessor Banners to build pity to get Yukong and Luka. Feels nice to have both Blade and IL. I also have Silver wolf. Plan on going for Fu then Jingliu. (I don't Declare myself as a F2P, I am one when I lack funds but when I have funds I'll take it as an Investment for Future Characters ((rather then a boatload to E6 S5 Characters, Something I don't intend on ever doing) but I will save the Stellar Jades I do have as well and and go for Characters I do want.

funny how the overall majority of F2P went for kafka or blade, as u said, but me, also a F2P, skipped those 2 for Dan Heng IL i don't regret it

sorry if this is in the wrong topic, can i know what background ost you using in the video? it sound so familiar and nostalgic.

Dan heng is versality character which adapt to different various combat style as should be class of destruction[ read the describtion of the class]. Thats how he got S+ tier class. Which means not only supports can play with him. The same style has seele she looks like only hunt but if she make extra turn she change into Aoe dps also. Ofcourse if she finish enemies by one blow. And thats how this characters survive the longer in tier list as S+ tier classes. You know it very well and i know it very well.

I still need a 2nd dmg dealer do you think jingliu will be a good investment

Dan Heng Sayan was my luckiest summen in both genshin and Honkai I had about 40 pulls and 0 pity. He came home at about 20 pity 5050 Decided to try pulling the light cone despite never doing weapon or light cone banners. Low and behold I hadn't ever pulled a light cone 5* in game, though tried to get Blades BIS 4* last patch. Got Dan Hengs 5* light cone probably on 40 or 50 pity with those 5 sumons I had left!!!

Dan Heng needs THREE skill points per turn. Qingque: Five skill points for a non empowered basic attack take it or leave it

I plan to pull fu xuan just to get the mono quantum dream team :)

You used an old version of Fulgurant Leap. It is somewhat nerfed to do a 500% multiplier at 3 stacks, but that's still pretty cracked. I can also see where you are going with your narrative of him being SP heavy, but at least if you got his LC, you honestly don't notice this as much as the narrative overplays this issue to be. He feels very smooth and good to use and can get his ult up in 2-3 rotations very consistently, which also vastly cheapens his overall SP usage. My biggest complaint is losing the first 50/50 so I had to go all the way to hard pity and now I probably can't afford getting him to E2 sadly, but even without it he feels good to play so we'll see. I'll try to get him to E1 though probably, at least.

He is my first E1 character with lightcone. No regrets. Husbandos supramcy. 😊 It took me 140 pulls. Love his design and story plus his damage is glorious.❤

Yes I mispronounced Imbibitor lunae screw these names 😭

With my 3 DPS units be IL, blade, and clara…the Destruction calyx is now my home

Good thing I have c1 Bronya and her weapon for the skill point regen when I use her skill and burst ( skill is RNG) but considering how you need to get the burst as it’s very good sp is so easy to get (f2p btw)

After gettin Kafka's E1 in 80 pulls + her lightcone i did 20 pulls on his banners because why not and the gacha gods blessed me with him,,i kinda feel i spent my luck for a year now 🤣

i got him early!!!!!!!! im so happy im early game and he deals up to 20k dmg sometimes

0:06 - 2:09 That’s impressive

Remember when people said Seele wont be dethroned from top dps because of her extra turn lol

i wanted to get kafka but i didnt have enough wishes so i didnt get her and now idk if i should pull. (i only have luocha and silverwolf (got her by accident lol))

Not sure if I'm pulling for him or waiting for him to return but want Fu Xuan so much 😢

This gives me hope that GI may do something like this for someone 😭

190k E0S5(FoA) on his basic attack. Yep, I would say an S+

Dan heng came home but im broke now

i need fu xuan so much i cant

Having e1 bronya and her lc and not wanting to pull for dan heng feels like a waste 😂

did not expect FE Engage OST here!

was recording my summons did 40 pulls didn’t get him I do one single when I wasn’t recording & got him

So what I’m hearing is Seele is less expensive and more compatible with more characters, but Daniel has a higher dmg ceiling, does anyone know how big exactly the dmg gap is between the two?

6:00 2.0 star rail sparkle

Blade, Bibitorheng, Pela, Luocha No SP issues and the nice buffers can sit on the other team.

i skipped silver wolf blade and kafka for this guy and i do not Regret it

The only thing more cracked than Dan IL's dam is my desire to have Fu Xuan design

I know I have all the DPS options in the world, but I'm pulling because A) Funny numbers B) The only imaginary character I have is Yukong

I'm f2p and I got him at 51 pulls and won my 50/50. Even though I already have blade and Seele I see this as an absolute win. I'll try to get silver wolf and loucha on their re runs though.

Its been months since the game's release and they already released an alter form bruh

1:55 Yeah, suffering for 4 moths without a proper DD is amazing call to make.

Vars literally called Inbibitor Lunae as a Super Saiyan from to Dan Heng 😂 I mean, he can somewhat do a Dragon Fist and have them Dragon Balls if you know what I mean... 😂

Me having Blade and Jingyuan but still pulled for Dan Heng IL simply because I collect all male characters

Vars: “Fu Xuan… slightly more beneficial to your team” Me: But cool husbando (pulls for Dan Heng)

I would have pulled, if not for Jingliu keeping her sword at my neck telling me to save for her.

puling dan heng just for lore immersive purpose, i must put him at nameless team for any lore related party.

Would like to have him, but Fu Xuan is right after, waifu first ^^

I don’t want to spend money on HSR since I don’t actually like it, I just play to keep up with my friends and the f2p life is pretty tough LOLOL I had to skip Blade for DanHeng, and my only other dps was JingYuan. I’m glad he feels strong. Unfortunately his relic sets are annoyingly restrictive, so I nigiri go with Musketeer until I get Welt to be his buddy or smth.

i pulled him this morning because pointy ears and horns and stuff

"Most demanding carry", man, that's something only the people that haven't actually tried playing him in a team say. It's sometimes rediculously easy to get him to lvl 3 attack each time with some good speed tuning. And even if you can't manage that, throw in a Tingyun and all your problems are solved. Heck, there is even a combo with Bronya that has been made that allows him to ult every two attacks (and yes, I mean an E0 Bronya). And EVEN MORE, there is a 5 star harmony on the way that gives skill points. DanhengIL "problem" is a non-problem 🤭

I'll be straight with you. I thought he would do less damage but could use his skill more often. Because as you said his a sp sucker. 2 to 3 every turn is massive. I thought he had a way to gather the sacrosanta points out of his ult. Like use normal attack, gain 2 stack. Use enhanced 1, gain 1 stack and use enhanced 2 gain 0. And then Every 2 eidolon he gives 1 extra stack for each state like enhanced 2 gain 2, enhance 1 gain 2 and normal enhance 1. It would balance out his skill point issue by basically creating a curve bell effect where 1 turn he does sky high damage for free, and the next he sacrifices his damage to do big numbers again. But I see now he does massive damage at the cost of a lot of sp. It's a shame that you need him at E0s2 to get him to the point he can make use of them stacks.

I’m just afraid that if I pull for him I won’t have enough stellar jades/pity to get fu xuan

Damm vars got me playing league genshin and honkai

Im so happy i just on my 50/50 and got This dude and then lost my 50/50 and got yanqing (all in under 8 wishes) AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IVE GOT DOUBLE 5* all my genshin luck went to HSR

Tbh, until Topaz's banner none can be skipped for me. As a Honkai Impact player, Seele, Silver Wolf Ott... I MEAN LUOCHA can't be skipped, Jing Juan has amazing design, Blade and Kafka are badass Stellaron Hunters and Fu Xuan is required for mono quantum team. Topaz's gameplay with the Trotter looks fun, and as a Hunt character she'll be meta, but until her personality in the story convinces me, she's easy skip.

I always get to hard pity every single banner I pull, but thisI got him in 23 pulls. 😂

First time I lost a 50/50 was to this man :(

I pulled him immediately because he's pretty! :3

I'm having second thoughts about pulling for IL since I'm only pulling him for shits and giggles 😢

Decided to do a 10 pull on the banner for shits and giggles knowing i wouldn't get Dan Heng. Especially because i didn't care i had blade and Kafka, well for my tom foolery Hoyo gave me a 5 star and made me win the 50/50.... this was literally 90 away from pity. I sat a full 2 minutes with my hands on my face.

I had to bench him even though he is currently my best dps by far i can not use double sustain with him. I have to constantly shield and heal every turn and DHIL does not let you do that. I was able to clear MoC 9 with normal Dan Hang but i can not do it with DHIL. I can not afford to use 3 sp per turn. I can not even afford 2 sp per turn.
