Release3.6
Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae is a Physical Preservation shielder who scales on ATK. His Skill makes an ally his "Bondmate", buffs their ATK and summons the Souldragon, a 165 SPD companion that constantly refreshes team Shields, cleanses debuffs and, after his Ultimate, deals Additional DMG based on the Bondmate's own stats. Free at launch, he is one of the most versatile sustains in the game for any ATK-based damage dealer.

Teams
Recommended teams
Himeko • Nova hypercarry
One of his most used teams: he buffs Himeko • Nova's ATK and enables her Companion Protocol: Verdict, while her frequent attacks keep his Energy topped up.
Silver Wolf LV.999 Elation
A top Elation team; his Skill Point generation and passive Shields free up the rest of the team.
Hysilens DoT
The most used DoT team: he buffs one DoT dealer's ATK and provides more Skill Points than the other top DoT sustains.
Guide
How to play
How he works
- Bondmate (Skill). Terra Omnibus designates one ally as the Bondmate and shields the whole team for 3 turns. His A2 gives the Bondmate ATK equal to 15% of his own ATK. Shields stack up to 300% of the Skill's value.
- Souldragon (Talent). Summoned for the Bondmate with 165 initial SPD. Each of its actions cleanses 1 debuff from every ally and adds a Shield (his A6 adds another one to the ally with the weakest Shield). Every Bondmate attack gives him 6 Energy and advances the Souldragon by 15% (A4).
- Ultimate (135 Energy). A Dragon's Zenith Knows No Rue hits all enemies, shields the team and enhances the Souldragon for its next 2 actions: each one becomes a Follow-Up ATK on all enemies, adding Additional DMG of the Bondmate's Type equal to 80% of the Bondmate's ATK.
- Summon synergy. The Souldragon counts as the Bondmate's summon, so buffs that care about summons (Sunday's Skill, his signature Light Cone) apply in full even to characters without one.
Rotation
- Use his Technique on the field, then switch to your main DPS before starting the fight: they become the Bondmate and he automatically casts his Skill on them for free.
- Afterwards, mostly use Basic ATKs to generate Skill Points — the Souldragon keeps Shields up on its own. Recast his Skill when Shields run low.
- Use his Ultimate whenever it's ready for extra Shields and two enhanced Souldragon attacks.
Tips
- Always make your main damage dealer the Bondmate, and never switch unless you have to.
- Build ATK first: both his Shields and his ATK buff scale on it.
- Avoid him in teams that rely on losing HP (Castorice, Mydei, Blade): Shields get in the way.
Strengths
- Excellent, largely passive shielding that also cleanses debuffs
- Strong ATK buff and a rare Additional DMG source for his Bondmate
- Gives any ally a summon for summon-based buffs (Sunday)
- Great Energy and Skill Point economy
- Was completely free at launch
Weaknesses
- Few good Light Cones, since most Preservation ones give DEF rather than ATK
- Offers little to DPS who don't scale on ATK
- Conflicts with HP-loss teams
Notable dupes · Eidolon
E1
Solid upgrade
Each Ultimate refunds 1 Skill Point and gives the Bondmate 18% All-Type RES PEN for 3 turns. Great quality of life for SP-hungry teams.
E2
Big upgrade
His biggest breakpoint: 4 enhanced Souldragon actions instead of 2, an immediate Souldragon turn after his Ultimate, and doubled Additional DMG and Shields on enhanced actions.
E6
Solid upgrade
Enemies take 20% more DMG, the Bondmate ignores 12% DEF, and his Ultimate adds a big AoE hit based on the Bondmate's ATK.
