Highlights

  • Baizhu's first appearance in Genshin Impact was highly anticipated, as he was only made playable in a recent update.
  • Baizhu is an ideal support character, as he can both shield and heal. Pairing him with other Dendro units can provide a powerful buff to the team.
  • Baizhu's kit prioritizes HP over Elemental Mastery, making artifact sets that increase HP important for his build. Players have a variety of weapon options for him, including F2P options.

Baizhu's first appearance in Genshin Impact was years ago, but he wasn't playable until the 3.6 update. Having been around since the Genshin Impact Liyue chapters but not being out until Sumeru made him an anticipated drop. As a Dendro unit, since the element had only just been introduced, his banner was one with many eyes on it. And though there were some mixed feelings on his kit, he excels at what he does.

Baizhu has a kit that makes him an ideal support; he can both shield and heal. Genshin Impact's supports usually only do one or the other, one other exception being Genshin Impact's Diona. Even better, as a Dendro unit, having him on a team with another popular Dendro unit like Nahida or Alhaitham will give the team Dendro resonance. This buffs Elemental Mastery and reactions and heavily buffs any double Dendro team.

Baizhu's Build

Dendro and Elemental Mastery are almost always paired together. Not to say Baizhu needs none, but for his specific kit, HP is far more important. His healing, shielding, and one of his passives all require that players stack as much HP into Genshin Impact's Baizhu builds. Artifact sets that add HP like Tenacity of the Millelith or Ocean-Hued Clam will be ideal for him.

When it comes to Baizhu's best weapons, besides his signature weapon, there's a good amount of F2P options that won't drain Primogems. The craftable weapon Prototype Amber is ideal for anyone who has nothing else available, but more than that, it's also one of his best available weapons. The popular 3-star option, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, is also a good support choice.

Baizhu's Talents

For Baizhu's talent priorities, start with his burst, then his skill, and only upgrade his normal attack if needed. By no means should he be a DPS, it isn't very possible with his kit. The passive talent that gives 25% Dendro damage bonus when the active character is over 50% HP isn't a very strong one. Making him the damage dealer on the team is losing damage overall and weakens his healing and shielding since his attacks scale with ATK and not HP.

Baizhu's Teams

He's most likely going to be the one filling out the flex slot in the standard team template. Baizhu's best team comps are all going to have a sub-DPS, a main DPS, and an extra applicator or healer in addition to himself. This is mostly a coincidence, however, since so many good Hydro units for Dendro teams tend to be healers such as Barbara, Kokomi, and even Xingqiu since his skill does include extra healing.

This could also be any other catalyst user who uses Prototype Amber since its passive allows healing for a certain percentage of the user's HP. For the most part, though, it should be Baizhu doing the healing and shielding while the rest of the team carries the damage and achieves victory.

Baizhu's Constellations

Before deciding if Genshin Impact's Baizhu's constellations are what a player wants, they should look into what each one does. His C3 boosts his elemental burst and his C5 boosts his elemental skill. His highest priority constellations are the following:

  • C2: "When your own active character hits a nearby opponent with their attacks, Baizhu will unleash a Gossamer Sprite: Splice. Gossamer Sprite: Splice will initiate 1 attack before returning, dealing 250% of Baizhu's ATK as Dendro DMG and healing for 20% of Universal Diagnosis's Gossamer Sprite's normal healing. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 5s."
  • C6: "Increases the DMG dealt by Holistic Revivification's Spiritveins by 8% of Baizhu's Max HP. Additionally, when a Gossamer Sprite or Gossamer Sprite: Splice hits opponents, there is a 100% chance of generating one of Holistic Revivification's Seamless Shields. This effect can only be triggered once by each Gossamer Sprite or Gossamer Sprite: Splice."
