Dan Heng — Imbibitor Lunae
Who is Dan Heng — Imbibitor Lunae?
Dan Heng — Imbibitor Lunae is a 5★ Imaginary Destruction hypercarry and one of the most SP-hungry DPS units in HSR. Accepting the power of his cursed past incarnation, he enhances his Basic ATK up to 3 times by spending Skill Points, transforming it into a devastating single-target Imaginary strike with escalating AoE splash. Sparkle is tailor-made for him, supplying action advance and Skill Points in abundance. While power-crept in raw numbers, he remains a beloved carry with a premium fantasy of a perfectly tuned SP rotation.

F2P Verdict
Limited banner character. E0 is functional but SP demands make him uncomfortable without Sparkle. Hanya (4★) is a solid SP-positive support alternative. Yukong can work if speed-tuned ahead of him to deliver her buff. His signature is a big upgrade — Nowhere to Run is the strongest F2P substitute.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dan Heng IL still good in 4.2?
He is functional but power-crept. He shines with Sparkle as his dedicated SP provider but falls short of newer Destruction carries in raw ceiling. A great choice for fans of his aesthetic and playstyle rather than peak meta chasers.
How many Skill Points does Dan Heng IL need?
Ideally 2 SPs per rotation to use the fully-enhanced 3-tier Basic ATK every turn. This requires Sparkle or another SP-positive support to sustain comfortably.
What is the best support for Dan Heng IL?
Sparkle is his best-in-slot support, providing action advance, SP restoration via Ultimate, and CRIT DMG buffing. Tingyun is the best energy battery for faster Ultimate access.
