Who is Da Pan in Arknights Endfield?
Da Pan works as an Administrative Support and Liaison for Hongshan Academy of Sciences, but his real passion is cooking. Even though his job title sounds fancy, what he really loves doing is testing new ingredients and creating dishes that mix different cooking styles together. He uses his cooking skills to connect with different groups and build friendships.
Don't let his focus on cooking fool you though. Da Pan is actually really smart and has made big contributions to science. He always carries a special bottle with him that shows he's a major contributor to scientific research. People from Hongshan know exactly what that bottle means and respect him for it.
When it comes to fighting, Da Pan uses his cooking tools as weapons. He swings around a huge wok and even uses a chopping board in his ultimate attack. His fighting style matches his personality - he's practical, creative, and knows how to make the most of what he has.

Da Pan Best Weapons in Arknights Endfield
Exemplar is Da Pan's best 6-star weapon, as it boosts Physical damage every time he uses his Battle Skill or Ultimate. It stacks up to a strong damage increase while also providing Attack, which suits him perfectly.
If Exemplar isn't available, 5-star Ancient Canal is the next best choice and works well with his playstyle by increasing damage after his Combo Skill triggers. It gives the boost right when it matters most.
If you are a free-to-play players, you can use Industry 0.1 as a good alternative for Da Pan. This weapon offers an Attack boost after using his Battle Skill, which should be used just before landing Da Pan's main Combo Skill hit.
Da Pan Best Gear Set in Arknights Endfield
The Type 50 Yinglung set is what you want to give Da Pan. Everyi time anyone one your team uses a Battle Skill, Da Pan gets a stack that boosts his next Combo Skill damage by 20%. You can stack this three times, which means your Combo Skill hits 60% harder when you've got all three stacks ready.
Additionally, instead of the whole Yinglung set, you can. use the Swordmancer TAC Fist gloves, which give you better raw stats for Da Pan.
Da Pan Best Team Comps in Arknights Endfield
Da Pan will work well when you build a team around him that can help him get those 4 Vulnerable stacks consistently. Operators like Chen Qianyu and Lifeng are basically required for Da Pan. They help apply Vulnerable stack, so you can reach that 4 stacks way easier.
If you don't have all the premium characters, you can also build a team with Operators like Akekuri who keeps your skill points flowing so you can use skills more often. And Catcher, who can apply more Vulnerable debuffs.

How to Play Da Pan
You need to remember to avoid using Da Pan’s Combo too early, as triggering it before reaching 4 Vulnerable stacks wastes a lot of damage. At the same time, don’t let Vulnerable stacks overcap. If enemies already have 4 stacks and more are applied, those extra stacks are wasted. Once you hit the cap, use Da Pan’s Combo or let Pogranichnik or even Endministrator consume them.
It’s also important to manage team setup correctly. try to build Yinglung stacks by using Battle Skills before Da Pan’s big hit, and keep an eye on Lifeng’s timing if you have him in your team. His debuff must be applied before the enemy becomes Breached or Crushed, or it won’t take effect.
In the end, Da Pan is all about setting up massive burst damage through careful stack management. You really need to coordinate with your team, build up those Vulnerable and Yinglung stacks, and then unleash everything at once.
