Exemplar is Da Pan's best non-exclusive option, a Greatsword with an ideal stat combination and a weapon effect that grants him more of those same stats when he uses his Battle Skill or Ultimate.

#4Sundered Prince

100.00% solo · 100.00% in team at P0

Sundered Prince is a generic 6-star stand-in without Exemplar, but its passive stats are weaker and include Crit Rate, an undesirable stat for Da Pan, and its weapon effect is underwhelming too.

#5Ancient Canal

97.90% solo · 99.20% in team at P5

Ancient Canal is Da Pan's best 5-star, competitive with a maxed Sundered Prince thanks to heavy Arts Intensity, a stat that suits him as a Crush Specialist, though its lower rarity leaves it behind on base Attack.

CoreGrizzled Edge

Grizzled Edge rewards consuming Vulnerability stacks and is best in slot for Da Pan when he consistently lands 4-stack Crushes, growing stronger with Physical Susceptibility from allies like Lifeng or Ardelia.

3PC3-piece set effect: Wearer's ATK +8%. When the wearer applies Crush or Breach, the wearer gains Physical DMG Dealt +[6% × Max number of Vulnerability stacks consumed from one enemy] for 20s. If the target already has Physical Susceptibility, is Staggered, or has attached Originium Crystals, increase the aforementioned buff to 1.5 times. This buff cannot stack.

Also works

SwordmancerSwordmancer is the general best set for Physical teams, reaching Stagger Nodes faster and boosting Da Pan's Stagger output 20%, plus a bonus hit for 15 Stagger and Physical damage every 15 seconds on a Physical Status.

Aethertech: Aethertech carries nearly ideal stats for Da Pan, and its Set Bonus triggers on the Vulnerable his Ultimate applies more than most, with a bonus at 4 stacks that lines up with his combo, making it the go-to for damage.

Physical · Lift into CrushLeads

Da Pan carries both halves of the Physical loop, Lift to stack Vulnerable and Crush to spend it, which is rare enough at 5-star to build a squad around. Chen Qianyu doubles the stacking rate, and the last two slots flex between SP and healing depending on the stage.

No healer: every slot here builds or spends Vulnerable stacks instead, and Pogranichnik’s Breach lands in the same window Endministrator or Da Pan spends on Crush. It clears faster than a sustained Physical squad, but a missed stack means a hit nobody is there to treat.
