👥 Team Synergy
Pan Yinhu excels when paired with Physical-support units and stun-providers. Key allies include:
| Teammate | Role | Synergy with Pan Yinhu |
|---|---|---|
| Sunna | Physical Support | Buffs Pan’s ATK, applies Cat’s Gaze for guaranteed crits |
| Billy | Secondary DPS | Stuns enemies and triggers Pan’s burst damage |
| Anby / Lycaon | Stun / Crowd Control | Keeps enemies vulnerable for Pan to exploit |
F2P players can prioritize Sunna + Pan + Anby for strong, accessible team compositions.
⚡ Rotation & Strategy Tips
Example rotation for max burst:
-
Start with Stunner (Anby or Lycaon) → build enemy Stun Gauge
-
Switch to Sunna → apply ATK buff + Cat’s Gaze
-
Swap to Pan Yinhu → use skills and normal attacks to trigger guaranteed crits
-
Finish with charged attacks during enemy vulnerability for maximum damage
Tip: Maintain energy levels to maximize skill uptime; Pan performs best in teams that can control the battlefield while his abilities recharge.
