Best Dan Heng Honkai Star Rail build: Relics, Light Cones, Eidolons, and Abilities

Dan Heng is a Wind Hunt unit in Honkai Star Rail who can be obtained for free at the very beginning of the game. However, there is no reason to ignore him as his single-target damage is more than enough for Dan Heng to deal with end-game bosses especially when you’re using the best build.

Wind is one of the most problematic elements within Honkai Star Rail, there are several bosses that are weak to Wind, but the game lacks proper DPS units within this class.

Dan Heng can deal with all of them very easily and is one of the most essential units to consider for the Simulated Universe. However, as a DPS, he needs to be built with good stats in order to function against end-game enemies.

Hence, here is our guide for the best Dan Heng build in Honkai Star Rail including his Relics, Light Cones, Eidolons, and Abilities.
