How is Dan Heng Tenghuang in Honkai: Star Rail? Introduction to Dan Heng Tenghuang in Honkai: Star Rail

With the conclusion of the 3.5 version's preview live stream, SP Danheng's new form was officially unveiled, named "Danheng·Tenghuang," becoming one of the focal points of the version, igniting player expectations alongside SP March 7th. So, how is Danheng Tenghuang in Honkai: Star Rail? Below, we will introduce the new character Danheng Tenghuang, a 5-star fire attribute preservation role, whose addition enriches the support system.

As a preservation role, SP Danheng's core mechanism revolves around shields and DOT (Damage Over Time), seen as the perfect auxiliary for DOT teams. Upon entering combat, he can proactively attract enemy attacks (taunt) and, while taking damage with a defensive shield, trigger DOT explosion effects. This design not only protects teammates but also assists in DOT attack bursts.

When using his skill to enter a standoff state, he generates a shield for himself and increases effect resistance, attracting all enemy attacks to focus on him, with these attacks carrying DOT damage. The strength of the DOT is linked to Tenghuang's defense and can stack up to five layers. During the standoff, each enemy attack against Tenghuang can trigger a counterattack and skill point recovery, creating more opportunities to release counterattacks, further accumulating DOT vulnerability stacks, which can be stacked three times.

Tenghuang's ultimate skill applies DOT to all enemies and provides resistance penetration, while his finishing move can advance the action bar of all enemies, greatly altering the battle rhythm and preventing debuffs from expiring prematurely due to extra turns. Regarding talents, when teammates trigger DOT explosions or activate his own mechanisms, some of the DOT damage is converted into shield amounts for the entire team, thus enhancing endurance and defense.

His secret technique allows him to automatically enter a standoff state upon entering combat; Trace One advances the action bar during counterattacks; Trace Two allows DOT explosions by teammates to also generate shields; Trace Three immediately releases a skill without consuming points at the end of a standoff, with this effect occurring every two turns.

In terms of constellation bonuses, Constellation One reduces the DOT resistance penetration of all enemies when a shield is present; Constellation Two strengthens normal attacks to trigger DOT explosions and extends the duration of DOT; Constellation Four increases the maximum number of DOT stacks; Constellation Six increases the number of counterattacks to five and changes it so that they can be triggered after each enemy action.

Overall, Danheng Tenghuang, as an SP preservation role in Honkai: Star Rail, has his core value in "absorbing damage + accumulating DOT then triggering explosions" and "protection + supporting DOT main output." He is very suitable for DOT-based lineups, serving as a key pillar for DOT teams, though it also requires a well-matched team and depends significantly on the battle rhythm.
