Baizhu Guide and Best Builds for Genshin Impact

Strengths

• Fulfills multiple roles and has flexible team options.
• Can easily sustain an entire team by himself.
• Good on-field Dendro application due to being a catalyst character.

Weaknesses

• Requires a log of Energy Recharge to regularly burst.
• Struggles to apply Dendro against multiple enemies.
• His shield is weak compared to other shielders.

Baizhu's is mainly built as a support. While you could play him as a DPS, he has very little damage potential even with Constellations, making Baizhu's support build his main build.

For this build, Baizhu's best-in-slot weapon is his signature weapon, Jadefall's Splendor, due to the HP % and buffs it provides. However, it is not necessarily worth investing into Jadefall's Splendor, as you can have a similar effect if you have a R5 Prototype Amber which is a craftable 4-star option.

For Baizhu's build Ocean-Hued Clam is the most general and viable Artifact set. It will help with Baizhu's healing, and deals additional damage to surrounding enemies when the Foam explodes. If no one else in your Dendro team wears Deepwood Memories you should build Baizhu with this set instead. However, he can struggle to activate the 4-piece passive of Deepwood.

For Baizhu's support build he will require a lot of HP and a even more energy recharge. You will want to aim for 50,000 HP and at least 140 % ER, up to +200 % if he is the only Dendro unit in the team and there is no favonius weapons being used. CRIT Rate is only needed if Baizhu is using Favonius Codex.

Baizhu will mainly use his Universal Diagnosis and Holistic Revivification . Since his heal is on his Elemental Skill, it allows for a regular healing rotation, while you can swap to Baizhu when his Burst is ready and proc his shield, which will stay on the active character.

You will not use Baizhu's Normal Attack: The Classics of Acupuncture in a support build, unless you need to apply a bit more Dendro.

The heal from Universal Diagnosis will affect the entire team. However, it is a short-ranged skill, meaning that if you want the skill to hit more than one enemy, they need to be close together before you send it out. It will heal you whether it hits or not, but if it does not hit, it will not apply any Dendro.

Baizhu's rotation is fairly simple:

1. Use his Universal Diagnosis to apply Dendro, which will also heal you if needed
2. Use his Holistic Revivification to apply the shield
3. Swap through your other teammates
4. Swap back to him when his Universal Diagnosis is ready again (it has 10s cooldown)

Baizhu is a very flexible character that can fit with almost any other Dendro user, and works extremely good in Hyperbloom, Bloom, and Burgeon teams as well.

Baizhu synergizes well with Hydro and Electro characters in Hyperbloom teams. He will be able to sustain the entire team even with Furina who eats your HP away. Baizhu does not have enough off-field Dendro application, so you need to use another Dendro character, and the two remaining slots are filled with an Hydro and Electro characters.

Baizhu is a strong support in any aggravate or spread team. He provides a significant damage bonus through his passive All Things Are of the Earth to the rest of the team. He provides enough support to the entire team while buffing the DPS to trigger more Aggravate or Spread reactions. Kaedehara Kazuha can be a good addition since he can group enemies and also buff.

This Burgeon team will consists in using one Hydro, Pyro, and Dendro character to trigger Burgeon. Baizhu will drive on-field during his rotation, while the Hydro Character will keep the Dendro cores from burning, allowing Thoma to trigger Burgeon. Baizhu will be able to heal off the damage from the explosions.
