Best Team Comp for Dan Heng- Imbibitor Lunae

A screenshot of the best team comp for Imbibitor Lunae

Dan Heng- Imbibitor Lunae is a DPS unit, which means the rest of his party members will look to buff his damage. The best characters to pair with Imbibitor Lunae are Welt, Luocha, and Silver Wolf.

This party member functions marvelously on multiple levels. Firstly, Welt and Silver Wolf can debuff enemies, while Luocha will heal the entire party. Secondly, this team is not as skill hungry which leaves lots of points for Imbibitor Lunae to use.

However, you can replace Welt with Yukong and Luocha with Bailu. You can also use Bronya, as she will be a terrific support for Imbibitor Lunae. Unfortunately, if you want to use Yukong, you need her at Eidolon 6 and Bronya at Eidolon 1.

Imbibitor Lunae needs skill points for the maximum possible damage. Bronya and Yukong are also extremely skill-reliant at E0, which can lead to an imbalance in the party.
