While limited by 5-star multipliers compared to 6-star alternatives, his unique kit makes him invaluable for Physical team compositions.

Da Pan (Crush DPS) + Pogranichnik (Breach/SP battery) + Lifeng (sub-DPS/utility) + Chen Qianyu (sub-DPS/rotation)
Battle Skill (FLIP DA WOK!) applies Lift - use it to control enemies
Combo Skill (MORE SPICE!) triggers at 4 Vulnerability stacks - time it for maximum Crush damage
Reduce and Thicken talent grants Physical DMG buffs on Vulnerability consumption - maintain stacks
Salty or Mild talent reduces Combo Skill cooldown after Ultimate - use Ultimates to enable more Combo Skills
Generate Vulnerability with Battle Skill and Normal Attacks - you don't need teammates to generate stacks
Consume Vulnerability with Combo Skill - this triggers Crush and your talent buffs
Ultimate (CHOP 'N DUNK!) has multiple phases: Lift → 6 slashes → Knock Down - use it for crowd control
P5 potential adds extra Vulnerability stack generation - significant power spike
Self-sufficient: Da Pan doesn't rely on teammates for Vulnerability generation
