Best 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.

Best W-Engines

1
Tusks of FuryS1
Tusks of Fury

ATK 713 · Impact 18%

The best pick for Defense Supports if you have it: the team gains +18% DMG and +12% Daze for 20s on any Perfect Dodge or Interrupt, which can be kept up permanently. High Base ATK and extra Impact; the Shield bonus does nothing for him.
Invincible Rider ›

The Shield value provided by the equipper increases by 30%. When any squad member triggers Interrupt or Perfect Dodge, all squad members' DMG increases by 18% and Daze dealt increases by 12% for 20s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

2
Tremor Trigram VesselS5
Tremor Trigram Vessel

ATK 624 · ATK% 25%

His signature, the best A-Rank option and by far the most used: high ATK plus Energy whenever a teammate takes damage or heals, and +25% EX Special Attack and Ultimate DMG.
Meridian Mapping ›

The equipper's EX Special Attack and Ultimate DMG increases by 25%. Whenever any squad member takes DMG or recovers HP, the equipper gains 2 Energy. This effects can trigger once every 5s.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

3
Spring EmbraceS5
Spring Embrace

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

Gives the same ATK as his signature, but its effect (damage reduction and extra Energy when hit) is close to negligible.
Hot Spring Soup ›

Reduces DMG taken by 7.5%. When attacked, the equipper's Energy Generation Rate increases by 10% for 12s. When the equipper switches off-field, this buff will be transferred to the new on-field character with its duration refreshed. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

*Stats are shown at base level

4
Peacekeeper - SpecializedS5
Peacekeeper - Specialized

ATK 624 · ATK% 25%

Also gives the same ATK; the shielded Energy Regen and Anomaly Buildup bonus are mostly useless for him, but better than nothing.
Standard Blocking Technique ›

While Shielded, the equipper’s Energy Regen increases by 0.4/s. The Anomaly Buildup of EX Special Attacks/ Assist Follow-Ups increase by 36%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

5
Reel ProjectorS5
Reel Projector

ATK 594 · Impact 15%

A defensive option: the team takes less damage while above 50% HP, but its secondary stat is Impact. As a fallback, Attack W-Engines with an ATK% main stat also work since his buffs scale on ATK (their effects won't activate).
Flash Engraving ›

When a squad member's HP is greater than or equal to 50%, they take 7.5% less DMG, and 10% less Miasma Contamination. Only one instance of this effect can exist in the same squad.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Astral Voice
4-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

4-piece:

Whenever any squad member enters the field using a Quick Assist, all squad members gain 1 stack of Astral, up to a maximum of 3 stacks, and lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Each stack of Astral increases the DMG dealt by the character entering the field using a Quick Assist by 8%. Only one of this effect can be active at a time in the same squad.

Hormone Punk
2-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

The best generalist Support set: 2-piece Astral Voice gives ATK, and the 4-piece boosts Agents entering via Quick Assist by up to 24%, a great fit since his EX Special Attack always triggers a Quick Assist. 2-piece Hormone Punk helps reach 3,000 ATK quickly.

Swap in 2-piece Swing Jazz for extra Energy Regen, letting him use his EX Special Attack and refresh his buff more often.

Launching a Chain Attack or Ultimate increases all squad members' DMG by 15% for 12s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

Hormone Punk
2-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

Use this when a teammate already wears Astral Voice (its 4-piece doesn't stack): +15% team DMG after a Chain Attack or Ultimate, easy to time with Stun windows. 2-piece Astral Voice can replace Hormone Punk.

Proto Punk
4-pc ›
2-piece:

Increases Shield effect by 15%.

4-piece:

When any squad member triggers a Defensive Assist or Evasive Assist, all squad members deal 15% increased DMG, lasting 10s. Passive effects of the same name do not stack.

Hormone Punk
2-pc ›
2-piece:

ATK +10%

A niche option: +15% team DMG whenever a squad member triggers a Defensive or Evasive Assist. Only worth it if the team already has Astral Voice and he handles most of the assists; if you're not comfortable timing them, Swing Jazz is better.

Endgame Stats

ATK

HP
10000+
DEF
800+

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.

Skill Priority

  1. Core Skill
  2. ›Chain Attack
  3. ›Special Attack
  4. ›Assist
  5. ›Basic Attack
  6. ›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.

Best Teams for Pan Yinhu

Most Used Teams Right Now

Pan Yinhu's most used team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault. Both dedicated Rupture supports give flat Sheer Force, so they dilute each other somewhat and neither deals much Daze, but the sheer amount of buffs more than makes up for it.
The second most used team, with high average scores in both modes. Starlight - Billy is a Physical Rupture DPS who benefits greatly from Sheer Force buffs, while Dialyn handles Stun.

Yixuan Teams

Place Yixuan right before Pan Yinhu so his EX Special Attack calls her Quick Assist. Ju Fufu buffs CRIT DMG, Chain Attack and Ultimate DMG while dealing Daze off-field; all three are Yunkui Summit, which makes the most of Belion.
Astra Yao acts as a second Support whose ATK buff benefits both Yixuan and Pan Yinhu, with healing and free Quick Assists on top.

Starlight - Billy Team

A variant with Ju Fufu instead of Dialyn, posting a very high average score in Deadly Assault.

Best Bangboo for Pan Yinhu

Belion is the main pick when the team has at least two Yunkui Summit members (Pan Yinhu plus Yixuan or Ju Fufu). Alternatives: Devilboo, Paperboo (Pan Yinhu already meets its Defense condition), Resonaboo or Knightboo.

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.

  • M1
    All units deal 10% more DMG to enemies under Depleted Qi, on top of the existing 20% from his Additional Ability.
  • M2
    Every 6 Break Force spent restores 4 Energy, and Depleted Qi lasts up to 12s: more frequent EX Special Attacks and easier debuff upkeep.
  • M4
    His Ultimate heals 25% more and stores a backup heal for when a teammate loses HP; good for survivability but adds no damage.
  • M6
    Meridian 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.
M1

Qi 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.

M2

Yunkui 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?

M3

Non-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?"

M4

First-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.

M6

Meridian 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!"

"Even plants know to feed from the soil and drink dew — there's no way we can practice on an empty stomach!"

"Fiber clears the murky air, protein guards the primal spirit."

"Being picky with your food will mess up your breathing and make your training twice as hard for half the results."

"I've learned a new technique that can help reduce the ingredients' nutrient loss when cooking. Skip the takeout and come help me test these dishes!"

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.
