TitleText
Character DetailsBaizhu, the owner of "Bubu Pharmacy," is a master of the medicinal arts. He is benevolent and kind, yet also shrouded in mystery and other contradictions.
Despite having countless admiring physicians begging for his attention, he has insisted on choosing a zombie who can barely sort medicinal ingredients to be his apprentice.
And though only a mortal, a talking snake with powerful spiritual energy is always wrapped around his shoulders.
Maladies major and minor may all be mitigated with his medicine, but the physician seems unable to cure himself.
Such a person does not go unnoticed in Liyue, for the greater a person's capabilities, the greater the calamity they could cause should their heart harbor any evil intent.
Yet both public observation and private investigation have not only found no trace of any hidden wickedness, but have seemed to confirm time and time again that his unimpeachable reputation as a benevolent doctor was, in fact, the unvarnished truth.
As for all those inscrutable secrets, Baizhu simply smiles and laughs:
"Good medicine is so bitter, so it shouldn't be a problem to let a good doctor keep a few secrets, no?"
Character Story 1Though he was widely known by the moniker "Mr. Bai," Baizhu's last name isn't "Bai." The origins of this misnomer can be traced back to his apprentice at Bubu Pharmacy, Qiqi, and her sieve-like memory.
When she first arrived at Bubu, her memory was even worse than it is now, and she would even forget to return to the Pharmacy at night after going out to gather herbs and ingredients during the day.
Fortunately, Baizhu is always patient when dealing with patients, and doubly so when dealing with Qiqi. At first, he attempted to have her stay at the Pharmacy and rest, but Qiqi was always resolute and could not be dissuaded from harvesting materials, saying: "My responsibility." Helpless to stop her, Baizhu would personally go out to find her each and every time, and remind her of the fact she lived with him at Bubu Pharmacy over and over and over and...
With a memory like what Qiqi sported then, remembering anyone's full name was beyond the realm of possibility. So for a long time, the names "Baizhu" and "Changsheng" were simply replaced with "that person" and "that snake."
Ever one to prescribe just the right medicine for the disease, Baizhu prepared a notebook for Qiqi to write in and review whenever she had time. Finally, there came a morning when Qiqi saw Baizhu and did not cock her head and ask who he was, but said:
"Good, morning. Bai... Bai..."
Changsheng was ecstatic, and immediately extended her body outward, even more excited than Baizhu: "Yes, yes, Bai-what now? And how about me? Don't forget about me—"
"Mr. Bai." Qiqi answered earnestly. "And, long... long, snake."
"—Outrageous! My name isn't 'long snake'—"
"Remembering things is like curing an illness. One cannot be too greedy for progress, but be satisfied with gradual improvement." Baizhu smiled slightly and nodded, as though having accepted the name "Mr. Bai."
In the days that followed, the phrases "Mr. Bai said" and "Mr. Bai won't allow it" were never far from her lips, and the endless stream of customers asking after medicine soon brought the name "Mr. Bai" out of Bubu Pharmacy to every corner of Liyue Harbor.
Qiqi's notebook has been filled to bursting and then some, and today she no longer needs to consult it before recalling Baizhu and Changsheng's names.
But "Mr. Bai" had already found its home in the hearts of some, and it was too late to change it.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2Baizhu is not only a brilliant physician, but possesses considerable business acumen.
This should not come as a surprise — it would be impossible to operate a such a large pharmacy on the strength of one's medical skills alone.
The prices at Bubu Pharmacy are generally fair, and the pricing strategy for most products is one of high sales with low margins on each transaction. But there is some merchandise priced at a curious premium — such as the "Everlasting Incense," which was 2,990,000 Mora even after a discount.
Usually, the customers for goods like these aren't picky about price, and only care about the quality and effectiveness.
So why head to the market to haggle and search, when you can get everything you need at Bubu Pharmacy? Even if it's a bit more expensive, the peace of mind provided by Mr. Bai's reputation is worth it.
Naturally, price is not Bubu Pharmacy's only competitive advantage. Many of the customers are businesspeople who have become "partners," bringing Baizhu rare herbs from across the land and exporting the medicines he develops to every corner of the world. As the pockets of Bubu's business partners began to bulge, so too did the Pharmacy's ledgers.
But the objectives of Baizhu's plans do not seem to revolve solely around Mora itself. If they did, why would Bubu Pharmacy take care of someone with no positive impact on income flow like Qiqi? It makes no sense from a business perspective.
When encountering unusual or novel diseases, Baizhu often accepts only a token fee, saying "It is difficult to assess a fee for such a rare ailment."
As this practice has persisted, clients from far beyond Liyue have come to seek treatment at Bubu Pharmacy. Baizhu never refuses a patient, and is very willing to treat people from all walks of life, regardless of the disease that afflicts them. Thus has the good doctor cultivated a reputation as a selfless and benevolent healer who makes money elsewhere, presumably so that he can continue to perform acts of kindness far into the future.
But only Baizhu himself understands the truth: Bubu Pharmacy never engages in unprofitable transactions.
Some goals are impossible to even think about without massive financial backing and a reliable network supplying resources from across the world. Even with sufficient wealth, those goals would have little chance of success without the right opportunities and a bit of luck.
As for the chance to research the secret arts of the adepti and strange diseases... these are opportunities no amount of Mora could ever buy.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3Baizhu habitually has a pot of water before boiling a pot of tea after waking up early in the morning. There is never a shortage of pastries at the Pharmacy, both sweet and salty, delivered from nearby shops and from around the neighborhood. This routine has never ceased, and is unchanged through all four seasons.
The snacks are divided into three portions, two large and one small. The large plates are for Baizhu and Herbalist Gui, and the small plate is for Qiqi and Changsheng. Whichever of them so desires can take a bite, and this counts as having had breakfast with everyone.
In addition, the doors of the Pharmacy are always lined with fresh supplies when it opens in the morning: vegetables, rice, fresh fish, melons and fruits... there is always an abundance of food at Bubu Pharmacy.
Baizhu has repeatedly attempted to persuade the community not to give him such gifts, as he does not like to take things from others for free. But the public knows that Dr. Baizhu doesn't always charge for his consultations, and offers steep discounts upon already reduced prices to the people. The child of this family, the grandfather of that household... The number of people who have benefited from his care is beyond count. Of course, since cheaper healthcare means more Mora in the pocket, using the savings to give gifts by way of thanks is a perfectly sensible thing to do. Baizhu's attempts to dissuade his well-wishers were defeated by this logic, and his only remaining response was to ask Herbalist Gui to bring all the gifts from the door into the shop.
After breakfast, the clinic opens for consultations. Baizhu remains in the shop to see patients, and Herbalist Gui delivers medicines wrapped and prepared the previous night to elderly patients who have difficulty walking. Each package comes with a detailed note explaining clearly both the frequency and quantity of medicine to be taken for the convenience of the patient.
When patients begin arriving at the clinic, Changsheng takes leave of her perch on Baizhu's body and wanders about the clinic. If she catches Qiqi performing her calisthenics in the courtyard, she will wind about Qiqi's shoulders and help her keep time with a "one two three one two three," and so on. If she runs into Herbalist Gui delivering medicine in the corridor, she will rest on his arm and ask after the latest neighborhood gossip.
After the talking is done, the medicine weighted and packaged, and the tea has cooled, it is time for lunch. At this time, Baizhu is at leisure to personally prepare a nutritious meal and sweet soup that are both healthy and tasty for all who come to call.
Afternoons in Liyue Harbor are a leisurely affair, with studying children, tottering old grandparents, Millelith carrying spears... An endless patter of footfalls. Changsheng and Qiqi lie by the pharmacy door, basking in the sun and watching the flow of people. They idly observe that the one on the left has let their hair grow too long and needs a haircut, while that one on the right has a rash on their face, and might be suffering from an internal imbalance. The sound of their chatter reaches Herbalist Gui's ears, and fearing disturbing others, he brings over a bench and moves Changsheng and Qiqi back inside the pharmacy.
The commotion reaches Baizhu's clinic, and he listens to their exchange as he writes a prescription. Time is like boiling water in a copper kettle: at once both a turbulent tumult but also sitting quietly beside you.
As night falls, Bubu Pharmacy closes for the day. Herbalist Gui sometimes stays for dinner, and sometimes goes home to eat with his family. Then only Baizhu, Qiqi, and Changsheng remain, and the two people and one snake may eat and drink to their hearts' content, returning to their rooms to rest by the light of the moon.
One cannot call such a day anything out of the ordinary. It is simply a day at Bubu Pharmacy. Though, if Herbalist Gui suddenly had the thought to come back and take a peek before going to bed, more likely than not he would happen upon Baizhu teaching Qiqi new exercises in the courtyard to keep her limber.
One-two-three, one-two-three... Morning, noon, and night, spring, summer, and fall — oh, and also winter... Calisthenics and life both have their rhythm.

Character Story 4The storyteller rapped the wooden table, opened his mouth, and began to tell a tale of ghosts and demons. Though the public loves to hear these stories, they get old after too many tellings, and so people asked, "is there anything else? You've told the one about the jewel-seller and the one about the thief, what else is there?"
At that moment, Baizhu came down the stairs, and the audience saw him and thought to themselves: Dr. Baizhu has many stories, surely, but putting them into a book might be far too difficult. Other than discussing his exemplary behavior and medical ethics, if one wishes to say a few words about him over tea or after dinner, the most that can be talked about is the Doctor's private pursuit of the adeptal arts and the like, a matter that Baizhu has never intended to conceal.
There are a multitude of visitors to Bubu Pharmacy, and those with sharp eyes cannot avoid noticing the books Baizhu reads in his spare time. In addition to medical treatises are ancient tomes which record the ways in which the adepti may be sought out. In addition, the medicine chests at Bubu Pharmacy contain a multitude of rare herbs and ingredients which are of no use in treating common illnesses, but are constantly used and replenished in an endless cycle. Though the average patient may not understand the arcane implications, those from families which practice alchemy or thaumaturgical arts can instantly recognize that all of these are ingredients used to refine various "Elixirs of Immortality" spoken of in legend.
For most ordinary people, "immortality" is simply too strange a concept. But there are people whose curiosity will be aroused, and who will seek to know just how Baizhu wishes to attain immortality and how far along the road he has come... But this has proved akin to walking on a tightrope at night — it is difficult to take even a single step.
Eventually, news of Baizhu's quest spread. Once the news was leaked, people formed an opinion. Some coveted his knowledge, some opposed this pursuit, and others didn't particularly care about his goal of immortality, but were concerned about the trouble his methods might cause.
Baizhu himself was in his clinic, but his fingers were on the pulse of the street, and he had anticipated this would happen. In the vast land of Liyue, the concerns of the third group of people would be the most difficult to assuage. He had initially planned to quietly dispel any doubts, but the name "Baizhu" had already appeared on the Ministry of Civil Affairs' persons of special interest list. Fortunately, Baizhu always conducted himself impeccably in his daily life, and is amiable and willing to chat with his patients during their consultations. From these visits, he learned that the Ministry of Civil Affairs was keeping a close eye on him. He saw through their methods, and turned the ears and mouths of the people to his own ends, letting them spread the word on his behalf that his research and approach had no ill intent and would cause no trouble.
Rumors spread more quickly than the most infectious pathogen, and soon the fact his quest was benign had spread to every corner. This push and pull between Baizhu and Ministry continued for some time, but eventually he was able to avoid unwanted attention and his name avoided appearing in the top secret intelligence reports of the owner of Yanshang Teahouse, Yelan.
As for the aforementioned second group of people, their beliefs are already a known quantity, and set in stone. Many are the descendants of a clan that believes firmly in the principle that some things are divinely ordained, and that the impermanence of life and permanence of death are among those immutable truths. It must be pure coincidence that the representative of this second group lives but a street away at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
As the saying goes, neighbors are like relatives and friends, and Bubu Pharmacy and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor have had many interactions over the years, and both parties greet each other with a smile when their paths cross in the street. As for those questions of life and death, death and life, the opinion of the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Hu Tao is as follows: If the matter cannot be explained or settled in a couple words, it's better to have Baizhu over for dinner! And as for a sensible person like Baizhu? Of course one should attend the banquet! Season after season, year after year, without going into too much detail, the two households with very different views have spent many a day together, and could be considered close friends, albeit with each keeping their secrets.
When two parties do not align closely, they merely speak of etiquette. But when they align, one may speak of duty. For Bubu Pharmacy is in the business of healing the sick, and in the course of business it is inevitable that there will be those beyond saving or at the end of their lives. Those with good fortune are cared for by their family, but those less lucky will breathe their last in Bubu Pharmacy. When this happens, Bubu Pharmacy and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will jointly ensure their final rest is peaceful.
The last rites and journey of the deceased is of great importance, and Director Hu Tao entrusts this to her most dependable consultant, Zhongli. For Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu cares greatly for those patients who pass away under his care, and personally sees to their arrangements. The two parties hold a ceremony in a secluded thatched cottage in the dead of night. Baizhu sends the deceased there, and the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant holds the ceremony and performs the final rites, carrying out each step in an orderly manner. Even if it is simply going through the motions, the departed may rest in peace.
It is a pity that though the soul has passed on, no living soul will ever thank Bubu Pharmacy or Wangsheng Funeral Parlor on the deceased's behalf. But the heavens wheel ever onward, and so too does the cycle of life and death continue unceasingly. Doctor and Funeral Director and consultant are neighbors by coincidence, friends over the dinner table, but only truly meet heart-to-heart when conducting the solemn duty of seeing off the souls of the deceased. Once they walk out of that thatched cottage, they return to their former selves.
As for the aforementioned first type of people, those who covet the secret of immortality, though they are many in number, their methods are crude, and they are easy to deal with.
Bandits are common in the wilderness and in the mountains, and a few particularly stupid and shortsighted ones once ran into Baizhu alone on a mountain road. Baizhu was refining medicine, and the bandits, having heard rumors of Baizhu's quest, came to the conclusion that he had made something of value here in this remote location. They struck, expecting to plunder the secret medicine Baizhu had created. A few hours later, the Millelith arrived at the scene of the crime, having received a report. It was difficult to tell who was the real victim, with the ruffians laid out upon the ground and Baizhu standing beside them with a smile.
"The facts of the case come first, so forgive me for asking," the Millelith soldier began hesitantly, "but did you really come to place this remote just to make cold medicine?"
"If I was refining some special medicine..." Baizhu laughed and shook his head. "Would they ever have found me?"
These stories traveled round and round, eventually returning to the ears of the storyteller. He thought for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Forget it. At the end of the day, Dr. Baizhu is just a doctor. What fascinating tales could there be?"

Character Story 5Every time the weather turns cold, the threshold of Bubu Pharmacy is crowded with patients seeking a consultation. But today, Baizhu's silhouette was nowhere to be seen. Only his assistant Herbalist Gui was at the counter, prescribing medicine and dispensing medicine. Those with recurring illnesses who visited frequently knew what this meant. It was "one of those days" again, and so they took the medicine carefully wrapped by Herbalist Gui. They offered their best wishes, such as "Please tell Dr. Baizhu to care of himself," and shuffled out the door.
At that moment, Qiqi came in from the doorway and bumped into an old man's calf. Holding her hat tight, she nodded and hurried to the back room with her stiff steps as quickly as she could.
"It's one of those days" isn't a particular time or place, but rather is shorthand for an oft-used statement: The Doctor is ill, and cannot see patients today, so we are sorry you came all the way here for nothing, please come back some other time.
It is hard for physicians to cure themselves, and this is true for Baizhu as well. Baizhu claims that it is simply a chill, but he knows that he has a weak constitution, and all of his internal organs are diseased. Though his life is not in imminent danger, nine out of ten doctors would be dumbstruck, only able to gape in wonder at the nature of this rare and incurable disease. Therefore, whenever his symptoms flare up, all Herbalist Gui and Qiqi can do is bring him hot water, cloth towels, and plates of fruit to show their concern. Baizhu does not wish others to worry on his behalf, and insists on being alone in his room with only Changsheng for company.
With the curtains pulled over the tightly closed windows, the room was dark and gloomy. Baizhu lay down, tormented by the chills and following hot flashes, occasional breathing problems, and intermittent yet intense full-body pains that often came whenever his symptoms flared up. After a bout of agony, he joked to Changsheng, "If I don't make it one of these days, it'll be a giant hassle, won't it?"
Changsheng slithered up the head of the bed and looked down at Baizhu's sweat-soaked visage with human-like pupils. "Oh you, oh you, you may lie, but you may not die. Who is it that wishes to live forever? You are not yet old, and haven't yet experienced a full life."
A man and a snake, the snake with human eyes and the man with snake eyes. A strange phenomenon indeed. Few know the truth behind such an enigmatic anomaly. In fact, the pupils in their eyes are proof of their greatest secret — the contract between them. The result of this contract is the Baizhu of today — practicing medicine to save lives and alleviate the pains and aches of humanity, but also embedding illness deep into his own bones, where they reside forever with no hope of relief.
And in the land of Rex Lapis, God of Contracts, the law is supreme and contracts must be abided by. Liyue is an ancient country with a multitude of spiritual beings and magic, and the contents and types of contracts are equally varied. But Baizhu and Changsheng never discuss the contents of their own contract, and always share the same response: Contract? It's just an agreement, you could say it's just a secret technique with a couple of restrictions on how it can be passed down. Those too old or young, those who are insincere of heart, the inhuman, all of these cannot inherit this technique... What else is there? Oh, yes. "Those not fated to cannot inherit it!"
Qiqi put down the tea tray and hot water, closing the door behind her as she left. Baizhu watched her leave before let out a long sigh, as though he had a thousand worries caught in his throat, but was unable to give voice to a single one. All he could do was shift the conversation to a distant rumor—
In ancient times, there was once a Mt. Yaojun, and the master of the mountain and their tea-loving friend once made a pact to wait until the tea trees on the mountain had grown, then hold a tea banquet, inviting all the adepti to partake of their tea. What a beautiful thing that might have been! But alas, of the two Adepti who made the agreement, one sank into the water like the residual remnants of tea leaves, and the other lost all ten of their fingers for picking tea, and even their memories of the past faded and were forgotten.
Changsheng hissed an impatient reply: "What's so strange about that? The adepti are gone, but don't their tea trees remain? The tree and tea leaves will remember their ancient agreement in their stead. You should worry more about yourself, for if you and I leave, only Herbalist Gui, Qiqi, and the wood of the house and bricks on the floor will remember the two of us."
The name of the contract with Changsheng is known as "Way of the Dragon-Dragging Jade Snake." Only the name of contract is known, and not even Changsheng can explain the details, only that she learned it long ago. If you ask who she learned it from, she cannot recall even a bit of tangential information. Talking about the distant past with Changsheng is often like this. Baizhu is used to listening to her advice, though, and understands she has good intentions. Thus did he vomit up the blood stuck in his throat before sitting up straight against the head of the bed.
Changsheng glanced over: "What're you looking at me for? I don't have hands to support you with."
Cradling the soup made for him by Herbalist Gui and Qiqi, Baizhu slowly drank it. He got through it one spoonful at a time, his eyes never leaving the soup for a moment, as though there was an entrancing scene of spring flowers and autumn leaves at the bottom of the bowl.
The small things, one at a time. The basic essentials of daily life. Life is like soup, boiling and cooking.

BubuIn Liyue, a form of divination is often used to predict fortune and peril or ask the gods for guidance. The people of Liyue call their particular art "Zhanbu."
It is said that in ancient times, medicine and "Zhanbu" were tightly linked and often confused. With no scientific understanding of birth, old age, sickness, or death, the ancestors could do naught but pray to the gods for wellness and take medicinal herbs for comfort.
Over time, countless generations experiencing sickness and recovering upon taking different herbs were able to distill their knowledge into a set of rules, making breakthroughs in their understanding of medicine. Thus was medicine born, with trained physicians curing the sick.
After becoming an heir to this medical tradition, Baizhu brought Changsheng to Liyue Harbor to open a pharmacy and practice medicine in the bustling port city. At that time, the following story took place:
According to the traditions of Liyue, new businesses must divine an auspicious time for their grand opening using the art of "Zhanbu." By sticking to the preordained opening day, the business will prosper and enjoy fame and fortune.
But Baizhu did not wait until the day of good fortune. One night, a mother brought her fever-stricken daughter to the door of the pharmacy, frantically pounding on the door.
...
Early the next morning, the neighbors were shocked to discover that the pharmacy had opened several days early, with no fanfare or celebration.
"Aren't you afraid of going bankrupt and losing everything?" Changsheng's voice was full of regret. "All you did was treat an emergency case last night, why would you need to open up shop early?"
Baizhu replied as he wrote a prescription: "Every day delayed is another day the patients must wait for their consultation. Besides, what pharmacy wants business to boom? We aren't hoping for more people to get sick, are we?"
"That doesn't mean you should just throw open the doors without even thinking of a name for our shop! And what about a celebratory message for the grand opening?"
"A name and a message... Then let us send the message that no matter the fortunes of this shop, or the diseases afflicting our patients..." Baizhu picked up the prescription note and faced the rising sun framed through the door. "...Or our fates, we don't need to ask the gods or use divination any longer."
In the language of Liyue, "Zhanbu" is divination, but "bu" can also be the word for a refusal or negation. Thus, he chose a name that enshrined his beliefs.
The rays of sunlight were shining through the door and the thin paper in his hand, with the words written by his hand clear and confident—
"Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4
VisionWhen Baizhu was young, his hometown was struck by a horrific plague.
Fortunately, his master was practicing medicine there, and was able to contain the spread.
But no miracle could bring back the lives that had already been lost. Having lost both his parents, Baizhu began to follow in the footsteps of his master, learning the physician's art.
The world is full of strange and complicated diseases, but Baizhu's master was always able to provide treatment. Studying with his master, Baizhu learned a simple truth: Disease is dangerous, but it can ultimately be overcome with human intellect.
...Until the day finally came that Baizhu's master was completely exhausted by the maladies brought on by a contract, and could hold on no longer.
Though Baizhu had learned much in those years, he was still unable to do anything in the face of such a complicated and serious affliction.
That most intractable disease in the world, the one with no cure or answer — death — had finally come for his master.
Was there really no escape from sickness and death for mortals?
The memories of his parents coughing blood from his youth had grown hazier over the years, but the scene of the cold tombstone of his master was crystal clear before his eyes.
Standing before his master's grave, Changsheng's normally playful words were tinged with an imperceptible sense of melancholy.
"Who knows how many more people will take on this contract..."
Baizhu did not want to see yet another precious life slip away before his eyes.
"No. This contract will end with me."
When he next opened his eyes, they shone with a golden light, as though they were unquenchable candles.
The first thing reflected in his now vertical pupils was a Vision, appearing briefly like a firefly on his master's tombstone.
The Vision was like the gaze of a god who had witness to everything, but it was also like those of his master, gentle and full of expectation.

  2. In my opinion, most people underestimate Baizhu. His passive ability provides a bonus to dendro reactions, for example Cyno hyperbloom team will be much stronger because of the added bonus to both the Aggravate and Hyperbloom reactions. Its increases the damage dealt by Cyno, as well as to the hyperbloom reaction because Cyno close most dendro reactions, especially if there isn’t another electro character in the party. I understand that in order to unlock his full potential, you need 50k HP and a lot of energy recharge, so he’s not bad, but you can’t compare him with others supports because Baizhu will cost much more

    • You don’t need 50K HP to get the buffs from the pasive, i highly encourage you to read again. Each 1,000 Max HP that Baizhu possesses THAT DOES NOT EXCEED 50,000 will increase the Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG dealt by these characters by 2%, while the Aggravate and Spread reaction DMG dealt by these characters will be increased by 0.8%

        • Please remember that Baizhu’s buff is likely additive, not a pure multiplier. Its an OK buff when you already have very high EM (think a gilded dreams user for example), but it’s not going to double your transformative damage output by itself.

          Baizhu can be better than YaoYao in some teams, but the gap between them isn’t too big at the moment. Especially when YaoYao has a little more room to run 4pc Instructors in aggravate than Baizhu, since the missing HP/ER from 5* artifacts aren’t as integral to her performance, whereas Baizhu needs consistent Burst Uptime and a good amount of HP to fuel his A4.

  5. The only problem I can see in his kit is his burst energy cost, same as Kaveh, is too damn high. I can see why cause its basically a Thoma shield but automatically refreshes every 2.5 sec and gives a massive buff to Dendro reactions, but we will have a hard time (depending on how much energy his E makes) generating energy for his burst. Even with his BiS weapon, it only generates 20 energy in the entirity of his burst, we might need to run him with ER sands.

      • Not exactly for active characters only but characters who are healed by his burst which reapply every 2.5s and last for 6s, so you can give the buff for more than one character (character A getting healing tick (buffed) swap to character B for getting buff and so on), at least your off-field character can also get the benefit. Unlike Baizhu, Nahida EM buff is strictly applied to active characters only and disappears when you swap. Both have their niche, Nahida for more off-field damage & dendro application via Tri-Karma Purification and Baizhu for the healing and interrupt resistance, just pick what you need. Personally, since I already have Nahida C2R1 I am aiming for Baizhu C2 (if I can) (for extra off-field app/dmg/heal). like if you can have 2 Nahida why not?

        • my guy nahida has 100% uptime on her burst, i.e. buff and it applies to any character on the field for as long as her bursta last, i.e. pretty much always cuz her burst cd is lower than it’s bas duration and she has just 50 burst cost with best er regen among all dendro units. baizhu’s buff is a joke in comparison. it’s much less than nahida’s buff and it lasts for just 6 sec with a downtime of over 14 sec, that too if u consider that baizhu will be able to get his 80 cost back in time, which at c0, with no bis weapon, is impossible for him. there is literally so much difference between the two that baizhu starts to look like a 4 star character in front of nahida. not to mention, c2r1 nahida is eons ahead of a c2r1 baizhu in any speck of situation. i m afraid u r gonna be utterly disappointed in him when u get him.

          • 14s burst duration with 6s still buff afterward and 20s cooldown, it’s literally 100% uptime or very close to it if you get the last tick on the 12.5s (2.5×5) mark, and like what I said he can also buff off-field character with that. Why I’m saying I’ll get his C2 because his Gossamer Spirit from C2 has independent ICD from his skill and burst so even though it will hit less than Nahida it will produce a significant amount more dendro app compared to C0. My current build I prepared for him is 2pc tenacity + 2 pc emblem (54k HP, 220% ER) with R5 proto amber (will see if I would pull his BiS).

            No one is saying he will be better than Nahida, but he will be a niche character that offers different roles that Nahida has. I also suggest pulling for Nahida first if you don’t have her yet, and if you already have her then your choice to skip or pull for him. (personally, I love dendro so much so I’m getting all of them when I can, coz I bored playing melt/vape/freeze or whatever for more than 2 years (day-1 player))

      • NGL I dont mind the idea of Nahida showing up first. More time to prefarm Baizhu’s new mats. Plus, I can pair Baizhu with Deepwood Nahida in Bloom-type teams, allowing Baizhu to just use 2pc sets instead. Thank god im such an exploration nut, all those primos are gonna serve me well.

  6. I’ve been giving it some thought, and isn’t Candace (coincidentally a freebie in 3.6) a solid teammate for Baizhu in certain HB and Burgeon teams? Im specifically thinking of Kuki and Thoma rn. Kuki can stay onfield and trigger blooms while healing herself, all while benefitting from Baizhu’s A4 and increased EC ownership thanks to Candace’s infusion. Thoma can use his skill more often as the onfielder, lowering his pesky ER needs to allow for higher EM stats. He’d be getting the A4 buff as well.

    This allows Hydro alternatives like XQ, Koko, Ayato, etc to find use on other teams since they’re used far more often than our poor, non-contested, heterochromia queen. Bonus points since Candace is a 4*, so she’s a budget option too. Pre-C6 you can just slap ER and HP on her and call it a day. The primary dilemma would be the potential lack of AoE Dendro applications from Baizhu, but I suppose there’s always the double Dendro option, which isn’t bad anyways. Lowered ER needs and an EM Buff sounds nice, I think.

    I dunno, lately I’ve been Candace (and Dori)-pilled by some interesting showcases on YT. I’m kinda itching to give her and Baizhu a proper try.

    • At first glance, I also thought of this couple. But there is one big problem that concerns any type of bloom-based commands: ICD!!!!
      It is important to understand at what speed the dendro-hydro duet creates dendro cores.
      Pure bloom – your reactions dps need a lot of EM and it will be hydro or dendro.
      Hyperbloom your bloom driver will be hydro bcz hydro unit is best bloom generator.
      Burgeon your pyro applier will be slow if you don’t want to burn enemies and your hydro applier will be fast.

      • Tbf, there are some workarounds to ICD in Candace teams. ICD doesn’t carry over when swapping characters, so just bouncing between Candace and your driver should be alright. Gives her a chance to use her little burst wave things for a few extra AoE Hydro applications as well. There’s also the option to use a charged attack every once in a while, which also has separate ICD (Least likely method to be used, I believe). Candace can also toss in a skill cast every now and then to apply Hydro and gather some extra particles. Im not gonna lie and say her application can match up to XQ or anything, but there are ways to make it work, I’ve seen it in action before. It helps that Baizhu’s A4 lasts off-field for a few seconds, just enough room for a short swap.

      • I think the issue is if you get a character, not only you’re spending primos on it, but other resources too. Unless I’m motivated to try a character that’s not only looks nice, but also plays nice, I dont feel like the character is worth it. For example first time Nilou came out, she was ok, nothing special, but I loved her gimmick AND design, and I was planning to pull Nahida anyway, so that’s worth a pull for me. On the flip side, one of my favorite designs in the game, as well as one of my favorite backstories, belongs to Shenhe, and I didnt pull for her, because even if I did get her, I had no team to use her on, and it felt like a waste to spend on a character that would only use probably for the first few floors of abyss at most.
        If the character is meh, and arguably unusable, you shouldnt be surprised that people wouldnt want to pull for it, even if the design is nice.
        Overall, I think the allure of a character is a combination of playability, viability, and how much you like the design and backstory, those ratios depend from one person to the other.
        But either way, neither camp should blame the other, and should just do whatever they want without making a big deal out of it. If you wanna pull, go for it and dont be mad if ppl express they dont want to, and vice versa ^^
        Cheers.

        • tbh the game isnt hard enough to think solely on kits. you can easily (or with effort, sorry i might be jumping the gun) beat 12-3 with just national team an another similar team. i think im not talking to people like you though maybe? im talking about the people who saw baizhu get announced and get SO PUMPED and now his kit is leaked and the majority i see is slander. i think the game isnt hard enough to invest in anything BUT the characters you like, esp as a f2p.
          i do kinda agree tho, shenhe is kind of a special 5* where you want another cryo with her and ik f2p exists but… team her with a f2p cryo 4*, no one is stopping you.

          cheers though! sorry if i came off as rough i just see this like every patch when a kit isnt great but people love the character and dont pull bc of it

        • finally!!! someone with a fucking brain. jesus the simps get so mad whenever their waifu/husbando gets shitted on for their poor kit. it’s hard to find someone like u who actually understands the situation. ik that neither camp should’nd be mad about other group but we should at least criticise a character if he/she is bad so that mihiyo doesn’t try to fuck up again. if we just accept whatever mihiyo puts, which players mostly do, the company is bond to release catastrophic characters like dehya and baizhu.

      • lmao. no one ever said they wanted a meta breaking unit. all people asked for was a decent unit who can at least perform better than budget 4 stars in the same role. yao yao at c2 and above is literally better than him in many scenarios.

        • precisely, we just want a 5* that can do buff and heal. There’s no reason they could not give him a Burst with more consistent buff to actually powercreep bennet for all dendro related teams. Make him give more EM and ATK for dendro or something. There a perfect unit that doens’t change meta and still has consistent gameplay and comps.

        • Can you explain what Yaoyao does better than Baizhu? if you say his A4 bloom-related and quicken buff are worse than her C1 15% dendro damage bonus *ONLY* then sorry you are wrong. Even if you only have dendro goblet on your character, her buff barely increases your damage by 10% moreover if you have other dendro damage sources like ascension stats (Tighnari, Alhaitham), etc. it will be lower than 5% and don’t forget buff for bloom-related reaction and aggravate that Yaoyao couldn’t give. If you like to be forced to jump/dash on the field to heal your entire team without being able to swap and potentially getting dps loss, then go ahead.

      • nah just good healing with decent application was enuff, basically everyone would’ve been happy if he was kokomi but GREEN. but now they keep nefing his skill % and his application is garbage. why should anyone with yaoyao built pull for him? jack-of-all-trade kits dont work bcz as u said a unit cant do all. so its a shame that we didnt get a busted healer with good AA application (like koko).

  7. i always laugh bc meta is always changing, and this game is honestly not difficult enough to invest in min-maxing for meta players. people dropping him because his kit isn’t perfect despite liking the character when 12-3 is the hardest content we’ll ever get in the game is just too funny

    • i start playing
      i pull albedo cuz im new and i want a 5*
      i lose 50/50
      i get keqing
      i like keqing
      i try to play keqing
      she does no dmg
      i stop building units before knowing how good they are
      fast forward to 3.0
      keqing does dmg now
      i want to play keqing but she needs a dendro healer
      3.4 rabbit girl is out but her burst is sub optimal and she lacks good aoe but i forgive cuz she’s 4*
      i wait for snake man thinking that he would have good aoe cuz he’s 5*
      i see some leaks
      i get sick of hoyo’s bullshit

      if you think abyss 12 is easy you should try it with trash f2p artifacts where you only get the main stats right , i meta slave to skip artifact grinding and im pissed off cuz hoyo wont let me play a good keqing team , Lisa and Yae Miko r also effected btw

      • In version 3.x you just need em main stat to clear abyss comfortably, even with random set.
        And keqing is quite good even back then. Dendro make her bit better but not game changer.

        i try to play keqing to cope
        she does no dmg
        i hate keqing even more
        repeat until C4

        This is literally me Q_Q

        Why can’t MihoYo make a decent 5-Star Electro for Quicken teams? Cyno is a joke, Keqing is literally worthless (even at C4), Raiden is strong but better served in HyperBloom comps, and Yae is a literal downgrade to C6 Elegy Fischl. I desperately need a Tier 0 Electro Sub-DPS with no BS. Preferably a good character design to boot. It’s simply not fair how much favoritism they have for Hydro units.

      • It is your and only your problem that you are ignoring 4* support units, dps or whatever. And the fact that the devs is doing bullshit does not change the fact that you do not like the game. Just delete it if you don’t like it. Look in the upper right side, there are ads for other games (and onther sites it is too).
        The choice is always yours, if something doesn’t deserve your attention, wasted time grinding currency, skip and salt

      • You can play Keqing without a Dendro healer. You go for Keqing/Fischl/DMC/TTDS Barbaba (or Kokomi if you have her, more seeds =D) and it’s already fine. Personally, I sometimes go with R5 Proto Amber Sucrose.

        If you want a good dendro healer, then Proto Amber Nahida is the way to go. She heals, do damage and buffs Keqing’s EM, doesn’t require field time and you can slot Kazuha/Sucrose to swirl electro since Keqing + Fischl can go over Nahida’s dendro app. I didn’t wait for Yaoyao to have fun. xP In fact, I only play Yaoyao with Nilou to make Kokomi going full EM and in 4* runs otherwise I don’t like having to spend time on her to burst heal the team.

        With Dendro now, you only need a good investment on Fischl, a VV set on an Anemo unit, Dendro app like Yaoyao and Lisa to trigger a lot of Fischl’s A4 during her burst =D On a second team, Full EM Shinobu + any hydro (XQ if poissible)/dendro (Collei + DMC is fine) chars you have and you already are good to go. Dendro made the game more accessible to people with mid artefacts =)

        • i just want aggravate to be good and specifically these teams
          [ lisa/miko/keqing , fischl , dendro healer , kazuha ]

          and keep in mind that Baizhu is the second healer that doesnt work well here , what r the chances that they’ll make another dendro healer ? aggravate gimped for ever ? that’s what i thought until i heard that the 2.7 cat girl switched to dendro shielder so i can still hope but they might miss that up too , if they do that then you know it’s on purpose , it’s also fair to think that nahida’s 1.5u exists just to stop your VV

      • its like we waited for electro buff for forever and finally got the reaction in 3.0 but no dendro support units to use it with so i wait some more 3.4 we get a 4* but she doesn’t have good aoe and the burst is not worth using and now 3.5 the 5* looks like qiqi lvl , i waited for a green kokomi not this bullshit even a green kuki would be much better

        i stick with yao yao until we get a better support

        putting the whole electro thing aside i think Baizhu’s good points is that he can use his dendro autos to focus break electro & hydro abyss mage shield befor you start doing dps where’s yao yao can try doing it with her burst but the rabbits targeting can be unreliable if the mages r surrounded with other enemies , and he’s very nice to have in weekly boss co-op fights
