ABest Pan Yinhu Build Guide
Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·
Playstyle Overview
Pan Yinhu is a Physical Defense Agent built to support Rupture DPS. He's plug-and-play with very little field time. When his EX Special Attack: Mountainous Pulse Strike hits, it triggers a Quick Assist from the previous Agent in the squad; that Agent gains Meridian Flow, a Sheer Force boost based on his initial ATK. He then auto-casts Special Attack: Touch of Death until his Break Force runs out.
Through his Additional Ability, this applies Depleted Qi, making enemies take 20% more damage, and his Ultimate heals the whole team. He's very cheap: all he needs is 3,000 ATK. The downsides: he only works with Rupture Agents, has to sit right after the DPS, and few W-Engines really suit him.

The only real requirement is 3,000 ATK out of combat, the point where Meridian Flow reaches its 540 Sheer Force cap with a maxed Core Skill. Beyond that you can add CRIT for personal damage, but it isn't necessary; save resources for your DPS. An Energy Regen Disc 6 lets him use his EX Special Attack more often.

Dodge
His Core Skill matters most since it raises the share of ATK that Meridian Flow converts into Sheer Force. Next come Chain Attack/Ultimate (healing, and bringing teammates in to receive the buff) and Special Attack, which he uses most to maintain his buffs. Assist comes after; Basic Attack and Dodge are barely needed since he spends almost no time on-field.

Mindscape Cinema
Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?
Pan Yinhu does his job at M0 but scales well with Mindscapes. M2 and M6 are rated highest; at M6, his buff contribution to Rupture teams is second only to Lucia's. M1 is also great. M3 and M5 only add skill levels.
- M1All units deal 10% more DMG to enemies under Depleted Qi, on top of the existing 20% from his Additional Ability.
- M2Every 6 Break Force spent restores 4 Energy, and Depleted Qi lasts up to 12s: more frequent EX Special Attacks and easier debuff upkeep.
- M4His Ultimate heals 25% more and stores a backup heal for when a teammate loses HP; good for survivability but adds no damage.
- M6Meridian Flow gains an extra 6% of his initial ATK and its Sheer Force cap rises to 720, putting his buffs second only to Lucia's.
M1Qi ShieldRecommended
All units deal 10% increased DMG to enemies affected by Depleted Qi.
This Yunkui technique wards off the external flow of Ether while reinforcing your inner meridians and muscles.
With qi acting as a shield, no blade or spear can pierce it — this is Pan Yinhu's secret to enduring every blow.
Side note: this trick comes in extra handy when you're elbow-to-elbow with aunties and uncles fighting over supermarket sale items.
M2Yunkui Pressure-Point StrikeRecommended
For every 6 points of Break Force consumed, Pan Yinhu will recover 4 Energy, and the Depleted Qi effect applied when Special Attack: Touch of Death hits an enemy will have its duration increased to 12s.
"Heh, can't move an inch now, can you, thief?"
"This technique is called Yunkui Pressure-Point Strike — it both paralyzes the body and clears the meridians — it's our sect's ultimate technique for punishing evil and upholding justice!"
"...Eh? You mean my grip was so strong that you just went numb? ...Alright then — can you move or not?
M3Non-Meridian Pressure Point
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
"These pressure points are a lot like us Panda Thirens."
"They're few and scattered, don't fit into any one system, and hardly anyone's ever studied them. It's a shame."
"But they really catch people off guard as a surprise weapon. Pretty great, right?"
M4First-Class Head ChefRecommended
When Ultimate: A Feast Fit for an Emperor! heals all squad members, the HP recovery is increased by 25%, and the healing over time effect is increased by 25%. On activating Ultimate: A Feast Fit for an Emperor!, gain the Backup Provisions effect. Whenever any character in the squad loses HP, consume the Backup Provisions effect to instantly restore 50% of the HP recovered with Ultimate: A Feast Fit for an Emperor!'s instant HP recovery effect. This effect cannot stack.
The first time he cooked, he nearly set the stove on fire.
Among those who rushed to help was a chef who, looking at the pile of burnt food, used the unused eggs to make him a plate of fried rice. He wolfed it down with tears in his eyes.
When he finally looked up, the cook was holding out a slip of paper with "100" written on it.
"I understand, Master! You're teaching me in cooking, you have to give it 100%, right?"
"No, I'm saying it's 100 Dennies per bite, and you've had over a hundred bites. Time to pay up."
From that day on, Pan Yinhu insisted on cooking for himself and never messed up again. And that's how a first-class chef was born.
M5"Thiren"
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
In the sprawling city of New Eridu, Panda Thirens are extremely rare.
He's always bristled at curious stares and long ago gotten used to living a lonely life with nobody to support him. It wasn't until he became an apprentice on Yunkui Summit that he stopped feeling so isolated.
And once he realized that many citizens would even pay to take a photo with a Panda Thiren... he no longer minded the stares.
M6Meridian TheoryRecommended
The Meridian Flow effect provided by Core Passive: Meridian Enlightenment increases by an extra 6% of Pan Yinhu's initial ATK. The maximum Sheer Force provided by this effect increases to 720.
"There's an old saying that there are 365 pressure points in the feet. Funny — it's the same with how we live our lives."
"Here — pick whichever point you like from this chart."
"That point represents your current way of life — where it is or what it does doesn't matter. As long as you like it, that's enough."
"And what good is choosing it, you ask? Let me think... Ah, of course. Next time I deal with some thieves, that's the point I'll target!"

Story
Details
Pan Yinhu, disciple of Yunkui Summit, serves as both the head chef and financial manager of Suibian Temple. He's proficient in martial arts, and an expert in pressure-point techniques. As the one managing Suibian Temple's money, he's a master at keeping costs down and can bargain a 5,000 Denny piece of meat down to 500. If he can make something at home, he refuses to purchase it at a store, and no matter which big supermarket or shop you name, he's got a coupon for it tucked in his pocket. Thanks to him, the members of Suibian Temple enjoy delicious yet budget-friendly meals every day. As the head of the kitchen, he demands precise flavor profiles and pays keen attention to his friends' opinions. What's more, given his years of frugality, it's safe to assume that both the group's treasury and his secret piggy bank have ballooned to jaw-dropping levels.
Increase Trust to Close to unlock more
Being a Panda Thiren, an exceedingly rare sight in New Eridu, Pan Yinhu has scraped by on his own since he was a child. Only someone who's truly known starvation understands its terror, and to fill his belly he sampled every trade he could find. In the end, his remarkable Ether aptitude led him to become a Hollow Raider. As a Hollow Raider, he had a chance encounter with Yixuan. Following a harsh beating and a sudden spiritual awakening, he opted to become a disciple of Yunkui Summit, where he now practices the mystic arts to cleanse his then-increasingly violent nature. Because he joined the sect later than most, he actually has very few junior disciples — and you, Master, are one of them. As your senior, he shows his care by cooking special dishes just for you and constantly sneaking store coupons into your pockets.
Cooperation Notes:
Belle
Every time we're about to order takeout, Senior Yinhu immediately pipes up to stop us, saying takeout isn't good for you, then offers to whip up whatever we want in the kitchen... We haven't ordered takeout in months!
Wise
His cooking really can't be beat, except for the fact he occasionally holds back on the meat... I really want to learn some of his recipes.

Nhưng tay nghề của sư huynh thực sự không có điểm nào để chê, ngoại trừ việc thỉnh thoảng cho hơi ít thịt... Anh còn muốn học thêm vài món từ huynh ấy nữa.
