The above table should make things clear for you. Dan Heng Permansor Terrae is the best shielder in the game , and getting him for free should leave you with no questions on whether to build him or not. Now, whether you should get his E1 or Signature Light Cone is answered in the next section.
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s Signature Light Cone vs E1?
As players are getting Dan Heng Permansor Terrae for free in HSR, they are likely eyeing to grab his Eidolons or Signature Light Cone. So, which one is better? Both his E1 and Signature Light Cone are really good, but his E1 is a clear favorite .
He is a sustain, and sustains should not need their Signature Light Cone to do their job properly. That’s also the case for Dan Heng Permansor Terrae. Yes, he would be able to sustain a lot better with his Signature Light Cone, but it doesn’t really provide anything more to his kit other than healing. However, his S1 also provides a damage increase for all allies, which can be really good.
Compared to that, his E1 increases All Type Resistance Penetration for his “Bondmate,” while also recovering a Skill Point when using the Ultimate ability. This directly leads to a big increase in damage as Resistance Penetration scales higher than a simple damage increase from his Signature Light Cone.

HSR Dan Heng Permansor Terrae Build: Best and Alternative Light Cones
Though Worlds Apart is Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s best Light Cone . It provides a massive ATK% increase, allows him to heal all allies periodically, and increases all allies’ damage at the same time. Overall, this Light Cone has no downside.
But, if you cannot get his signature light cone, then the next best option is any high ATK Light Cone . Yes, you do not need to use any other Preservation Light Cone for Dan Heng PT, as most of them provide DEF increase. As he completely scales on ATK, using a purely high ATK Light Cone from other paths works much better, even if he doesn’t get the benefit of the passive.
Now, if you prefer using Preservation Light Cones only, then you can use 5-star alternatives like Inherently Unjust Destiny and Moment of Victory. For 4-star options, use Journey Forever Peaceful, Day One of My New Life, and Trend of the Universal Market.
HSR Dan Heng Permansor Terrae Build: Best and Alternative Relics
Self-Enshrouded Recluse is the best Relic set for Dan Heng Permansor Terrae. This Relic set is made for shielders, increasing the shielding effect and providing additional Crit Damage to allies guarded by the shields.
Now, if you are using his signature Light Cone, then Warrior Goddess of Sun and Thunder would also be a good pick. However, this Relic only works because of his Signature Light Cone’s healing ability.
As a Hypercarry Support, Sacerdos’ Relived Ordeal is also a good option on Dan Heng Permansor Terrae, if your other support units are not using it.
HSR Dan Heng Permansor Terrae Build: Best and Alternative Planar Ornaments
For his Planar Ornaments, Lushaka the Sunken Seas is a clear favorite due to the increased ATK% from the passive. If you want more ERR, then use Penacony Land of the Dreams. Also, if you have built 30% or more Effect Resistance, then Broken Keel also becomes a good option.

HSR Dan Heng Permansor Terrae Kit Explanation
Here is a quick overview of Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s kit. He is a very strong shielder that also buffs allies and can deal a fair amount of damage as well. Dan Heng’s new form has multiple ways of providing shields, making him much stronger than Aventurine, who was previously the best shielder in the game.
- Souldragon : Summons a Souldragon with a fixed Speed when a Bondmate is designated. When it takes action, dispels 1 debuff from all allies, while also providing shields. The souldragon disappears when the Bondmate or Dan Heng Permansor Terrae is knocked out. Also, the damage dealt by the Souldragon uses the Bondmate’s multiplier.
- Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s Skill : Designates one ally as Bondmate and provides a shield to all allies, scaling on Dan Heng’s ATK.
- Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s Ultimate : Deals massive AoE damage and also provides shields to all allies. This also enhances Souldragon and makes its following actions trigger an AoE Follow-up Attack from Dan Heng PT.
- Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s Technique : Dazes enemies in an area and designates a Bondmate at the start of the battle, based on the character that initiates the fight.
- Ascension Abilities : The A2 increases the ATK of the Bondmate and A4 advances Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s action at the start of the combat, making him regenerate energy when the Bondmate takes a turn, while also action forwarding Souldragon. The A6 makes his shields stack, and makes the souldragon deal additional damage of the Bondmate’s multiplier.
