Dan Heng — Permansor Terrae
Who is Dan Heng — Permansor Terrae?
Dan Heng — Permansor Terrae is a 5★ Ice limited character following the Path of Preservation. A divine ascendant form of Dan Heng, he is the go-to sustain for ATK-scaling hypercarry teams as of Patch 4.2. His kit designates one ally as his Bondmate, providing that ally with an ATK buff and summoning a Souldragon memosprite that grants shields, dispels debuffs, and deals additional ATK-scaling Ice DMG. His synergy with Sunday, Archer, and Ashveil makes him one of the most versatile premium sustains in the game.
Kit Summary
Designates one ally as Bondmate; provides shields to all allies; summons the Souldragon memosprite that acts independently.
Shields and debuff-cleanses allies each action; deals ATK-scaling Ice additional DMG to enemies — higher ATK on the Bondmate means more Souldragon damage.
Deals AoE Ice DMG; refreshes all shields; resets Souldragon's action.
The Bondmate receives a significant ATK% buff — core to why he is the best sustain for ATK-scaling DPS.

📊 Substats Priority
👥 Best Teams
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae + Ashveil + Welt + Robin (Ashveil FUA)
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae + Archer + Sparkle + Robin (Archer premium)
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae + Sunday + Imbibitor Lunae + Sparkle (Sunday hypercarry)
F2P Verdict
Limited banner only — not in the standard pool. Moment of Victory from the standard Stellar Warp is the best accessible alternative to his signature. Trend of the Universal Market is a solid free 4★ option. His shielding at E0 is complete and his Souldragon functions well without Eidolons.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dan Heng Permansor Terrae better than Aventurine?
In ATK-scaling teams (Ashveil, Sunday, Imbibitor Lunae) he typically outperforms Aventurine because his ATK buff and Souldragon DMG scale off the DPS's ATK. Aventurine remains better in DEF-scaling or FUA-specific team contexts. Source: Prydwen.
What makes the Souldragon special?
The Souldragon acts independently to shield allies, cleanse debuffs, and deal Ice additional DMG that scales with the Bondmate's ATK. With Sunday it is Advanced alongside the main DPS, creating near-constant shield refresh cycles.
Does he need his signature Light Cone?
His signature is recommended given that many standard Preservation cones are poorly suited to his kit. Moment of Victory (standard 5★) is the closest free alternative.
