Honkai Star Rail: Dan Heng's Best Light Cone and Build Options

Dan Heng, a powerful DPS character in Honkai: Star Rail, is known for his ability to deal significant damage to single targets. As part of the path of The Hunt, he fights with a spear or polearm-type weapon, making him best suited for initiating combat encounters at close-range.

One of Dan Heng's most popular light cone choices is In the Night, which increases his CRIT rate by a minimum of 12% and provides additional bonuses to attack, skill damage, and crit damage when SPD exceeds 100. This makes him an excellent choice for boss fights, as he can apply the Wind Shear debuff on enemies, causing them to take elemental damage over time even after he's stopped hitting them.

If you don't fancy equipping Dan Heng with a 5-star light cone, there's another option worth considering: Only Silence Remains. This 4-star alternative is just as good a choice for his build and is indeed his canonical light cone. It provides similar bonuses to attack, skill damage, and crit damage, making it an excellent choice for those who don't want to invest in a 5-star light cone.

When building Dan Heng as a boss killer, you might want to go all-in with a 5-star light cone. However, if you're looking for a more affordable option, Only Silence Remains is definitely worth considering.

Dan Heng's attacks apply the Wind Shear debuff on enemies, making him an excellent choice to take into boss fights. This means that while he can't deliver sweeping blows to every enemy on the field like other DPS specialists, he can single-mindedly pursue one enemy at a time to deal a significant amount of damage.

As a sub-type of DPS character in Honkai: Star Rail who specialises in single-target attacks, Dan Heng is an excellent addition to any team. With his powerful light cone and build options, he's sure to be a valuable asset on the battlefield.
