Baizhu is a highly anticipated character in Genshin Impact, having already appeared in the Liyue arc as the owner of the Bubu Pharmacy and caretaker of Qiqi. While players were aware of his Dendro vision, details about his gameplay and personality were largely unknown, leading to speculation that he would be a healer fitting for his role.
With the release of Genshin Impact's version 3.6 update, players finally have the opportunity to learn more about Baizhu and add him to their teams. Baizhu is primarily focused on healing and shielding, based on his HP, and he also has the ability to buff team members' Dendro elemental reaction damage. This makes him a valuable addition to many teams and he is relatively easy to build when it comes to his weapons, as he primarily requires HP. However, depending on the specific needs of the team and desired build, there are other options that focus on Elemental Mastery or Energy Recharge.
6 Fruit of Fulfillment (R5)
- Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 45.9% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: Obtain the "Wax and Wane" effect after an Elemental Reaction is triggered, gaining 36 Elemental Mastery while losing 5% ATK. For every 0.3s, 1 stack of Wax and Wane can be gained. Max 5 stacks. For every 6s that go by without an Elemental Reaction being triggered, 1 stack will be lost. This effect can be triggered even when the character is off-field.
Players who are interested in balancing out Baizhu's Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery values may consider using the Fruit of Fulfillment catalyst. While the Favonius Codex provides more Energy Recharge and Sacrifical Fragments makes it easier to utilize Elemental Mastery, the Fruit of Fulfillment offers a great way to boost both stats. Its effect can be triggered off-field, making it an ideal weapon choice for Baizhu, especially in teams that can constantly trigger elemental reactions. Although it may not be the best forgeable weapon on the list, it is a great choice for players who have progressed far enough in the Aranara-related world quest storyline to unlock the forgeable weapon from the Sumeru region.
5 Favonius Codex (R5)
- Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 45.9% Energy Recharge
- R5 Effect: CRIT Hits have a 100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 6s.
For players who want to use Baizhu's Elemental Burst often while also providing support as an energy battery, Favonius Codex can be an ideal 4-star weapon choice due to its Energy Recharge secondary stat and elemental particle generation on its passive effect. However, players must consider that this is a gacha weapon, so if obtaining higher refinements is not possible or if they have not invested in Crit Rate Stat, Fruit of Fulfillment might be a better F2P weapon option. This is because, without high refinements or Crit Rate investment, Favonius Codex may not perform consistently.
4 Thrilling Tales Of Dragon Slayers (R5)
- Primary Stat: 401 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 35.2% HP
- R5 Effect: When switching characters, the new character taking the field has their ATK increased by 48% for 10s. This effect can only occur once every 20s.
The Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers is a 3-star weapon that is surprisingly effective for Baizhu due to its secondary stat of HP%, which enhances his healing and shielding abilities. Additionally, being a 3-star weapon, it is more accessible for obtaining higher refinements, resulting in a significant increase in ATK. However, it requires strategic switching as some newer Genshin Impact characters do not prioritize the ATK stat as much as older characters. Therefore, this weapon's passive may not be suitable for all teams, but those that can make use of it will benefit greatly.
3 Everlasting Moonglow (R1)
- Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 49.6% HP
- R1 Effect: Healing Bonus increased by 10%, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 1% of the Max HP of the character equipping this weapon. For 12s after using an Elemental Burst, Normal Attacks that hit opponents will restore 0.6 Energy. Energy can be restored this way once every 0.1s.
Kokomi's signature weapon, Everlasting Moonglow, is also known as "the Donut" by Genshin Impact's player community, due to its circular shape. Despite being designed for Kokomi, Baizhu can still make good use of it thanks to its secondary stat and the Healing Bonus effect on its passive. However, since Baizhu doesn't rely on normal attacks, the second part of the passive isn't very useful for him. Overall, Everlasting Moonglow isn't a highly sought-after weapon, so players shouldn't go out of their way to obtain it and should only consider using it if they happen to have one available.
2 Prototype Amber (R5)
- Primary Stat: 510 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 41.3% HP
- R5 Effect: Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 6 Energy every 2s for 6s. All party members will regenerate 6% HP every 2s for this duration.
Prototype Amber is an excellent 4-star weapon choice for Baizhu and can almost rival Jadefall's Splendor in terms of healing potential. It boasts an impressively high HP secondary stat and will restore HP to team members after Baizhu's Elemental Burst as well as regenerate energy for Baizhu to upkeep Elemental Burst. Additionally, since it is a forgeable weapon, it is easily obtainable even at higher refinements for many players. Therefore, it is a fantastic F2P option that players should seriously consider.
1 Jadefall's Splendor (R1)
- Primary Stat: 608 Base ATK
- Secondary Stat: 49.6% HP
- R1 Effect: For 3s after using an Elemental Burst or creating a shield, the equipping character can gain the Primordial Jade Regalia effect: Restore 4.5 Energy every 2.5s, and gain 0.3% Elemental DMG Bonus for their corresponding Elemental Type for every 1,000 Max HP they possess, up to 12%. Primordial Jade Regalia will still take effect even if the equipping character is not on the field.
Baizhu's signature weapon, Jadefall's Splendor, is custom-made for him and enhances his healing and shielding abilities, much like Prototype Amber. In addition, it generates extra energy and boosts Baizhu's Elemental DMG for players interested in utilizing him as a damage support. However, since Baizhu is not a primary DPS character, players need not feel obligated to obtain his weapon and can instead opt for Prototype Amber, which provides more than enough healing potential.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
