Baizhu Guide: Beyond Mortality

Rarity	(Limited)
Element	Dendro
Weapon	Catalyst
Role	Healer / Shielder / Buffer
Priority	HP > ER > CRIT (Favonius)
Tier	T0 (Premium Support)

Baizhu is the mysterious owner of Bubu Pharmacy. Accompanied by his white snake Changsheng, he serves as the premier defensive option for Dendro teams. He consolidates shielding, massive team-wide healing, and reaction damage buffing into one elegant package.

Pros

Incredible team-wide healing on Elemental Skill (One-tap full heal).
Provides stagger resistance via refreshing shields.
Buffs all Dendro reactions (Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, etc.).
Role consolidation (Heal + Shield + Buff + Dendro app).
Extremely easy to build (HP% stacker).

Cons

Shield is paper-thin (meant for stagger resist, not tanking).
Energy hungry (needs ~180-200% ER).
Poor AoE Dendro application compared to Nahida.
Single-target oriented application on Burst.

Quick Guide (TL;DR)

The Goal: Reach 50,000 HP to max out his A4 Passive buff, then focus on ER.

Best Artifact: 4pc Deepwood Memories (If no one else has it).
Alt Artifact: 4pc Ocean-Hued Clam (Healing/DMG) or Song of Days Past.
Best Weapon: Jadefall's Splendor (Signature).
F2P God Weapon: Prototype Amber (Craftable, R5 is almost equal to Sig).
Alt Weapon: Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers (For ATK scaling DPS).
Main Stats: HP% / HP% / HP% (Use ER Sands if struggle with energy).
Talent Priority: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack (Ignorable).

Pro Tip: The Shield Mechanic: Don't expect his shield to hold like Zhongli's. It breaks instantly on hit, heals you, and then regenerates. This constant breaking/refreshing cycle provides excellent interruption resistance against heavy hits.

Ascension & Talent Materials

Category	Material Name	Source
Ascension	Violetgrass	Liyue Cliffs (painful to farm, use shop/seeds!)
Boss Drop	Evergloom Ring	Iniquitous Baptist
Talents	Teachings of Gold	Taishan Mansion (Wed/Sat)
Mob Drop	Fungal Spores	Fungi (Do NOT use Electro/Pyro on them)

Talent Mechanics

Elemental Skill: Universal Diagnosis

Gossamer Sprite: Sends out a spirit that attacks nearby enemies 3 times.
Return Heal: After attacking or if no enemies are nearby, it returns and heals the entire party massively based on Baizhu's Max HP.
Usage: Great "Panic Button" for instant team-wide healing.

Elemental Burst: Holistic Revivification

Seamless Shield: Creates a "Seamless Shield" every 2.5s.
Break & Heal: When the shield breaks OR refreshes, it heals the active character and fires a Spiritvein causing Dendro DMG.
Application: This applies Dendro periodically, perfect for maintaining Quickens or generating Blooms in single-target.

Important Passives

A1: Five Fortunes Forever: Baizhu gains different buffs based on active character HP (Healing bonus if <50%, Dendro DMG if >50%).
A4: All Things Are of the Earth: Characters healed by the Seamless Shield gain a reaction bonus (Burning/Bloom/Hyperbloom/Burgeon +100%, Aggravate/Spread +40%) for 6s. This scales up to 50,000 HP.

Constellation Value

Constellation	Value	Effect
C1: Even the Slightest Groan	Good	Adds +1 charge to Elemental Skill. Helps significantly with Energy Recharge requirements and burst healing.
C2: Incisive Insight	Great QoL	When active character hits an enemy, Baizhu launches a sprite (healing + dmg) from off-field. Massive QoL, extra Dendro app, and incidental healing.
C4: Ancient Art of Perception	Okay	Using Burst grants 80 EM to the team. Solid but not game-changing.
C6: Elimination of Malicious Qi	Strong	Increases Burst damage based on HP and generates shields when Skill hits. Turns him into a shield-bot DPS hybrid.

Verdict: Baizhu is fantastic at C0. C1 and C2 offer great comfort improvements but are not necessary.

Stat Requirements

Stat	Goal
Max HP	50,000 (Hard Cap for passive)
Energy Recharge	180-200% (Solo Dendro) / 160% (Double Dendro)
Crit Rate	Ignore (unless using Favonius Codex)

Artifact Main Stats:

Sands: ER% (Recommended) or HP% (if ER met)
Goblet: HP%
Circlet: HP% (or Healing Bonus)

Artifacts Comparison

Set	Use Case	Reasoning
4pc Deepwood Memories	Best Support	If Baizhu is the only Dendro (or paired with Alhaitham/Tighnari), he MUST hold this to shred 30% Dendro RES. His Burst hits consistently enough to maintain uptime.
4pc Ocean-Hued Clam	Healer/Dps	If another character has Deepwood, Clam turns his massive overheating into 27k-30k physical damage bubbles every 3.5s.
4pc Song of Days Past	Buffer	Good alternative for buffing hypercarries like Cyno or Neuvillette, though often Clam or Deepwood provides more team utility.
2pc HP / 2pc ER	Transitional	Easiest to build to hit the 50k HP and 200% ER thresholds.

Weapon Rankings

Weapon	Rank	Notes
Jadefall's Splendor	S	Signature. Grants HP, Energy, and DMG. However, it is only marginally better than Prototype Amber.
Prototype Amber (R5)	S	The F2P God. Craftable. Gives HP% and regenerates 18 Energy per burst + heals the team. Essentially turns him into a perpetual motion machine.
Thrilling Tales (R5)	A	3-Star weapon. Use this if supporting ATK-scaling carries (like Cyno or Raiden). Requires strict rotation (Switch Baizhu -> DPS).
Favonius Codex	A-	Good for team energy, but requires building CRIT Rate, which makes reaching 50k HP harder.

Teams

Cyno Quickbloom (The Best Friend)

Cyno (Main DPS)
Baizhu (Shield/Heal/Dendro)
Furina (Hydro App + DMG Buff)
Nahida (EM Buff + Battery)

Why? Baizhu's shield resists the interruption that usually plagues Cyno, and his multi-wave healing counters Furina's drain.

Nilou Bloom Premium

Nilou (Core Creator)
Baizhu (On-field Driver/Healer)
Nahida (Off-field Dendro)
Xingqiu / Yelan (Hydro App)

Neuvillette Hypercarry

Neuvillette (Hydro DPS)
Baizhu (Healer/Stack Generator)
Furina (Buffer)
Kazuha (VV Shred)

Rotation

Standard Support:
Baizhu E (Catch particles) > Baizhu Q > Swap to DPS

Note: Because his Burst cost is high (80) and cooldown is 20s, always ensure you catch his Skill particles before swapping, or he will struggle to loop.

FAQ

Is Yaoyao better?
Yaoyao is a fantastic 4-star alternative, but Baizhu offers stagger resistance (shields) and a reaction damage buff that she lacks. He is generally a comfort upgrade.

Is Jadefall worth pulling?
Honestly? No. Prototype Amber is so incredibly good on him that Jadefall is considered one of the lowest value signature weapons unless you just want the aesthetic.

How much HP is too much?
Stop at 50,000. The passive caps exactly there. Any HP above that is wasted stats; pivot to ER or damage.
