Dan Heng is one of the first characters we meet in Honkai Star Rail. Here's everything we know about the Astral Express' guard.

Honkai Star Rail – Dan Heng

“A cold and reserved young man who is reticent about his past. To avoid his kin, he decided to travel with the Astral Express.”

Dan Heng is the reserved man we meet upon boarding the Astral Express. In-game, he is a 4-star Wind character, and his Path is The Hunt. Characters of this Path excel in dealing single-target damage, making Dan Heng great in bursting down enemies.

 

Dan Heng is voiced by Nicholas Yeung in the English voiceover. Meanwhile, his Japanese voice is done by Ito Kento, who has also voiced Hirotaka Nifuji from It’s Difficult to Love an Otaku  and Doppo Kannonzaka of Hypnosis Mic.

Official Dan Heng Introduction

“A cold and reserved young man who wields a spear known as Cloud-Piercer. He acts as the train's guard on its long Trailblaze journey.

He carefully observes the changes in everything around him, albeit with a calm demeanor that may appear to be indifference. He faithfully records everything they encounter on the Trailblaze path in the Express's archives.

Danheng never talks much about his past. In fact, he joined the crew of the Express to escape from it.

But will the Express really be able to take him far away from his past?”
