Da Pan is a 5★ Striker in Arknights Endfield built around Physical burst, Lift control, and one very specific condition: he wants enemies sitting at 4 stacks of Vulnerability so he can cash them out for Crush damage. His kit is loud, direct, and rotation-friendly when your team can reliably feed him stacks.
If you are comparing Da Pan to other operators or trying to understand where he stands in the broader meta, this article is written to slot directly into our Arknights Endfield Tier List, where all characters are evaluated under the same conditions and assumptions.

Analysis & Verdict
Da Pan’s kit is built around one clean condition: reach 4 stacks of Vulnerability, then press MORE SPICE! to convert that setup into Crush damage. That trigger is not decorative. If Vulnerability stacks are slow or inconsistent, his biggest burst button simply doesn’t exist for long stretches of the fight.
What makes him different from many DPS characters is that he can help create the condition he needs. FLIP DA WOK! applies Lift and deals Physical damage on a short, practical rhythm, and his kit includes multiple ways to stay involved even before the “4 stacks” moment arrives. This is why he works well in teams that don’t have perfect debuff coverage — he can still play the game while waiting for the full trigger.
CHOP ‘N DUNK! is both control and payoff. The first slam forcibly Lifts enemies in front of him, then the six slashes deliver consistent Physical pressure, and the final slam knocks enemies down while adding a second heavy hit. In fights with adds, this Ultimate doesn’t just deal damage — it stabilizes the room so your team can keep rotating.
His Talents push the same loop forward. Reduce and Thicken rewards consuming Vulnerability by stacking Physical damage bonuses for 10 seconds. Salty or Mild adds a second layer after Ultimate: hit enemies with the final sequence, gain Prep Ingredients, then your next combo skill hit shortens cooldown by 40%. In other words, you Ultimate, then you immediately get to loop MORE SPICE! faster — but only if you actually connect your combo skill during the buff window.
Da Pan performs best in teams that reliably build Vulnerability and can keep the fight’s focus on a priority target long enough to cash out. In those scenarios, he feels like a main DPS even without 6★ rarity because his loop is self-contained and repeatable. In fights where stacks are scattered across multiple enemies or the team can’t maintain debuffs, his trigger becomes inconsistent and his output becomes more “Ultimate-centric” than “combo-centric.”
