Genshin Impact: Why you may want to obtain Baizhu in patch 3.6 update

Easy-to-Build

All of Baizhu's abilities are based on his max HP, making it easier for Genshin Impact players to farm artifacts and choose suitable weapons for him. For artifacts, players can either farm a 4-piece Deepwood Memories from the Sumeru domain or the 4-piece Noblesse Oblige from the artifact strongbox.

One of his best weapons is Prototype Amber, a 4-star craftable weapon at par with Baizhu's signature when refined to level 5.

Both Elemental Skill and Burst can heal party members

Baizhu can provide a decent amount of healing with his Elemental Skill and Burst. While his elemental skills can provide healing to all party members, his burst healing will only heal the active Genshin Impact character.

For instance, a Baizhu with 45k HP and all talent at level 9 can provide approximately 8000 healing all nearby with his Elemental Skill. In contrast, his Elemental Burst will heal around 5000 to the active character every 2.5 seconds.

Ability to generate multiple shields

Along with healing, Baizhu will also generate shields when he casts his Elemental Burst in Genshin Impact. Although these shields are relatively weaker than most shielders, the shield refreshes itself every 2.5 seconds.

Every time the shield expires, shatters, or refreshes, it will heal the active character. Additionally, the shield also provides resistance to interruptions.

Off-field Dendro application

With the introduction of Sumeru to Genshin Impact, the current meta is constantly revolving around new elemental reactions such as Quicken, Spread, Aggravate, Hyperbloom, etc.

Baizhu's kit gives him little to no need to stay on the field, and he can continue to apply Dendro from off of it. This way, other characters get more field time to dish out damage and trigger elemental reactions.

As a new Genshin Impact character, Baizhu brings many benefits to the party with his ascension passive. Here is an overview of all his passives:

• Harvestable items will heal the active character
• When the active character's HP is below 50%, Baizhu will gain a 20% healing bonus. Similarly, he will gain 25% Dendro DMG% when the active character's HP is above 50%.
• Baizhu's elemental burst will provide an additional DMG bonus on Dendro elemental reactions based on his max HP.

Overall, Baizhu is a solid support character that can take on multiple roles in the party, allowing more flexibility to his team composition.
