Dan Heng Permansor Terrae: Optimal Team Comps & Endgame Syng
How Dan Heng Permansor Terrae shapes the latest team metas in Honkai: Star Rail – from Souldragon rotations to high-end MoC clears.

Dan Heng Permansor Terrae: Optimal Team Comps & Endgame Syng
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae (DHPT), newly arrived in Honkai: Star Rail with patch 3.6, is already redefining team structures for both Memory of Chaos and high-level Simulated Universe clears. As the game's first Preservation unit offering a party-wide shield with versatile ATK% buffs and his unique Souldragon summon, DHPT creates new possibilities for support and sustain, challenging long-standing sustain staples for a spot in the meta.
For players seeking the most efficient clears—and especially those eyeing difficult phases like Memory of Chaos Floor 12—understanding how to build around Permansor Terrae is now a top priority.

Endgame Readout: DHPT in Memory of Chaos
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae is fundamentally shifting sustain and buff paradigms for top-clear compositions in endgame content. His shield uptime is among the highest for Preservation units, and uniquely, he can flex between sustain, ATK buffing, and party support without consuming excess Skill Points.
Current meta trend: DHPT enables true triple-buffer teams for ATK-based DPS, letting you drop traditional Preservation/Abundance for more offensive pressure. His Souldragon remains after DPS transformations (i.e., Phainon), solving survivability gaps in “pure buffer” teams.
Best Used:
– MoC high-damage or action-loop teams (especially against Physical-weak boss phases)
– Simulated Universe runs leveraging shield + ATK stacking
– Any content where main DPS (Archer, Sunday, etc.) relies heavily on ATK scaling
Optimal Dan Heng PT Team Compositions
1. Aglaea + Sunday + Robin
- Core loop: Aglaea’s double summons (Memosprite + Souldragon) scale off Sunday’s turn-advancement buffs; Robin stacks global team buffs.
- Why it works: Sunday can repeatedly buff Aglaea while DHPT's Souldragon and Robin both advance actions and buff, compounding DPS turns.
- Endgame strength: Exceptionally fast turn cycling and shield consistency for peak DPS windows.
2. Phainon + Sunday + Cerydra
- Key synergy: Souldragon persists through Phainon’s transformation—both benefit from ATK boosts, with DHPT shoring up pre/post-transform survivability.
- Sunday role: Continues to offer elite buffing and action control for Phainon.
- Cerydra: Additional stackable ATK% for Phainon, competitive offensive buffs.
- MoC take: This is currently one of the most reliable triple-buffer setups for Phainon clears; sustain is solved without sacrificing tempo.
3. Archer + Sparkle + Cipher
- Archer’s challenge: Extreme Skill Point dependence; can stall in typical buffer teams.
- Dan Heng PT fix: Barely uses Skill Points and adds shield/ATK, solving Archer's resourcing dilemma.
- Sparkle: Premier Crit DMG and ATK buffer who also returns Skill Points to keep Archer online.
- Cipher: Debuffs, records damage, unleashes powerful Ultimate for burst phases.
- Alternatives: For F2P/low-spend, substitute Hanya (budget buffer / SP gen) and Pela (DEF shred)—lower ceiling but good for Abyss/early MoC clearing.
Team | Best For | Key Strength |
---|---|---|
Aglaea/Sunday/Robin | Turbo summon action teams | Fast rotations, shields |
Phainon/Sunday/Cerydra | High ATK% synergistic DPS | Triple buff, sustain |
Archer/Sparkle/Cipher | Skill Point-positive DPS setups | Consistent Archer damage |
Should You Pull Dan Heng PT?
Ideal pullers:
– Players with high-investment ATK DPS (Phainon, Archer, Sunday)
– Trailblazers aiming for MoC 30★ clears who struggle with sustain/buffer balance
Pulling considerations:
– Banner competition: Await 4★ confirmations. If you lack top-tier Harmony buffers, DHPT offers unique sustain + buffer hybrid utility unavailable elsewhere.
– Pity tracking: Standard Star Rail pity system (90 pulls for 5★, soft pity ~75); consult EarlyGG banner tracker for specifics. No guaranteed rerun window stated in any official materials as of writing.
– F2P strategies: Use event currency and free pulls; DHPT does not supplant key Abundance sustainers for non-ATK DPS teams (e.g., Emanator/Break teams).
Relic & Light Cone Synergy
- Main stat priority: Prioritize DEF% and HP% for Souldragon scaling and shield strength; secondary focus on Speed for max action economy.
- Top relics: Knight of Purity Palace remains BiS for shield, but combos with new relic drops in 3.6 (pending drop rate confirmation).
- Light Cones: DHPT performs optimally on his signature, but is still solid with ‘Moment of Victory’ and other generalist Preservation LCs—compare ATK/DEF gains at E0 vs. E1.
- Stat thresholds: For MoC, shield must absorb at least 1–2 rounds of boss AoEs; run tests in simulated high-damage scenarios.
Preparation Checklist
- Ascension: Farm Physical/Preservation traces & Souldragon mats from weekly bosses and new 3.6 domains.
- Daily tasks: Secure enough relic fodder and double-drop events for optimal gear.
- Calibrate team rotations with dummy DPS to maximize shield uptime (especially for untransformed vs. transformed Phainon comps).
Unconfirmed/Speculation
- Upcoming event reruns featuring DHPT are not listed in official patch schedules as of 2025-10-15. All references to banner order are subject to change until HoYoverse posts patch notes or livestreams.
Visuals & Media Suggestions
- Add team rotation charts or schematic visuals showing Souldragon uptime in various comps. Use EarlyGG’s team builder template for clear comparisons.
- For accessibility, alt text should reflect both the character lineup and the key mechanic (“Dan Heng PT’s shield active while Aglaea and Robin rotate actions”).
Key Takeaways & What’s Next
Dan Heng Permansor Terrae is not just a new Preservation unit; he is a meta-defining, hybrid support who rewards calculated play and unlocks a new tier of action economy in challenging game modes. As endgame content in Honkai: Star Rail keeps scaling in complexity, expect DHPT to be a fixture in tournament and leaderboard-level clears—especially for players who favor optimized, buffer-heavy strategies.
Watch for official banner and event announcements (EarlyGG coverage) for further details as 3.6 unfolds. For ATK-based DPS teams, investing in DHPT is proving, early on, to be a highly value-driven strategy.
