Best Teams
Da Pan Da Pan 
Chen Qianyu Chen Qianyu 
Akekuri Akekuri 
Catcher Catcher F2P Friendly team that uses Da Pan as your main DPS. Chen and Catcher provide Vulnerable Stacks and Akekuri gives some extra SP for your team. Use Skills to apply Vulnerable Stacks as needed, and cash out with Da Pan’s Combo Skill. The team can be upgraded as you get new operators. Da Pan Da Pan 
Lifeng Lifeng Chen Qianyu Chen Qianyu 
Ardelia Ardelia High-Cost version of the previous team. Lifeng also provides Vulnerable Stacks and Physical Susceptibility. Ardelia can apply Corrosion, more Physical Susceptibility and heal for your team. Keep in mind this team lacks Vanguard agents so you’ll need be careful about your SP consumption. What about 
Endministrator Endministrator / 
Pogranichnik Pogranichnik ? Da Pan, Endmin and Pogranichnik all want to consume Vulnerable Stacks from enemies, this doesn’t mean you can’t run two (or all) of them together, but you’ll need to play around multiple Crush/Breach applications and know when to use them or you risk messing up with Da Pan’s Combo Trigger (4 Vulnerable Stacks).02

Ancient Canal Ancient CanalDa Pan benefits from all effects provided by Exemplar. Some of the Weapon effect requires using Battle Skills and Ultimates for increased Physical DMG%, but the stacks last long enough so you don’t need to worry about it, as you’ll naturally use these skills through the fight. Sundered Prince is an Alternative Set in case you’re on-fielding Da Pan. It gives increased Stagger to your Final Strikes and an ATK Boost after hitting the enemy with your Final Strike. The ATK buff has a low duration so make sure to activate it before using your skills. Ancient Canal is Da Pan’s Signature. It synergizes well with Da Pan’s gameplay, but it focuses on crushing enemies. Use it if you don’t have any of the other options above.

It’s really good to increase the Burst Potential of Da Pan’s Combo Skill, but it doesn’t provide a lot of value outside of this.

How to Play
The game plan is simple, you stack 4 Vulnerable and this triggers his Combo Skill. Activate it to apply Crush on the enemy and deal massive damage.
His Battle Skill and Ultimate help you with this, but having other sources will help you to both activate his Combo Skill and also maintain Vulnerable Stacks on enemies, in order to benefit from the increased damage against Vulnerable enemies.
The Ultimate applies 2 stacks of Vulnerable and activates his 2nd Combat Talent for reduced Cooldown on his next Combo Skill, increasing the frequency that you burst down the Vulnerable Stacks on enemies.
