Baizhu's really comfy and helps Furina's HP drain feel irrelevant, yay 🐍 Bonus note about ER - you may sometimes need more than mentioned (~225+) but generally I highly recommend running weapons like Prototype Amber/Jadefall/Favonious & using 2 skills per rotation if possible to greatly decrease your ER needs.
I've been thinking about running a team with Cyno, Nahida, Furina, and Baizhu in it, and I was wondering if that was a good team comp. I really want to have a Cyno team, so I was wondering if this was optimal.
I grabbed Baizhu right away on his first run. Kokomi taught us that 5-star healers usually have the potential to add more value than just healing, so I disregarded the reviews and pulled for him. He's been a great fit for a lot of my teams, and now Furina just takes him over the top.
Furina has been one of the most godly units to pull for so far. She singlehandedly made all healing supports more viable. Even freaking Barbara of all people has become more useful for new players who pulled furina and literally have nobody. Lil miss barbruh can help them out 😅.
Mihoyo finally releasing characters with interesting and unique kits that make formerly unviable characters viable without making already viable characters irrelevant. Furina is great.
@@Ostrid1Im ar57 and barbara never left my abyss team. Now with furina she’s godly because she provides hydro res for furina and she deals damage every rotation (clam set).
@@Ostrid1 New player here! Got Furina after I lost 50/50 for Wriothesley (I got Jean). She has carried me through so much content already. I run her with Xiangling, my dps, Jean and Thoma. I haven't built her correctly yet and her pets can hit for 20k!
Did the same thing. I pulled for Baizhu on his first run, and he has since made my Dendro teams super easy to run. He give so much flexibility to team building because I can instantly slot him on teams that need Dendro but Nahida is also needed on the other side. I used to think I would regret pulling for him, but I never did. He is 100% one of my most used units today, even replacing Zhongli for most teams.
I got Baizhu when he first released and I was worried he wasn’t going to be what everyone thought he was going to be, however I’m glad now that I got Furina to work with him.
IMO the best part about Baizhu is that you’re never really worried about actually needing to heal your team actively because he naturally heals the entire party and keeps them topped up as you do your rotations. It’s extremely effortless and hassle free unlike say Yaoyao wherein you commonly use her burst as a “panic button” in case your party’s hp is low because her healing on her skill is pretty underwhelming.
Hi! Can you help me out? Should I pull for Baizhu or C1 Furina? My team consists of Neuvillette, Furina, Fischl, and Yaoyao. The only healers I have arw Yaoyao, Bennett, and Barbara. I'm guaranteed next pull, so I don't know which one to use. Should I just build my Yaoyao (The only problem I have with her is that she needs to be on field during her burst to heal the whole party). She's currently level 70 with Ivl 4 talents. Should I just build her instead of getting Baizhu so I can get C1 Furina? Thank you
@@beachyjon5798C1 is a good damage buff for Furina but IMO Baizhu is a better QOL upgrade over Yaoyao since not only does he provide team wide healing on his E, he also provides interruption resistance (Yaoyao does not provide) which C0 Neuvillette greatly benefits from. Using Baizhu over Yaoyao in your comp is a night and day difference. (Baizhu also doesn’t eat up precious field time away from your Neuvillette unlike Yaoyao during her burst)
Thanks for using Baizhu E on my grandma to heal her after she fell down the stairs. Such a kind and heartwarming person I wonder if you are also like this in your stream?
I'm glad that Baizhu finally has time to shine. He has always been underrated since his release. Many people, even my friend, said that he is replacable with Yao Yao (theoretically true), but he brings so much comfort and smooth gameplay experience outside of side-grade healing. He's not my main or my favorite character but I want him to get more credit for being a very comfortable and reliable unit like Zhongli
I don't think he's ever been underrated. A lot of people saw his potential just from the leaks, but now it's just even more obvious with Furina being here. Baizhu and Yao Yao aren't even that comparable either, the only similarity is that they're both dendro healers. Unlike Yao Yao, Baizhu provides shield protection, higher healing scalings and a team damage bonus that scales on his HP. Not to mention that Baizhu provides team healing with his skill (compared to Yao Yao's single target) and his burst works off-field while Yao Yao's doesn't.
Baizhu has always felt top tier to me since 3.6, he brought so much comfort to my dendro teams and carried many people through the consecrated beast abyss that even zhongli struggled getting teams through. Now that Furina is here I feel comfortable saying he’s the best healer/sustainer in the game paired with her, he just makes her rotation so much smoother and caps her fan fair easily. Definitely think hoyo had Furina in mind when designing his kit
Agreed! The only other healer that comes CLOSE to his synergy with Furina has been Jean. She really only falls behind because there are better Anemo characters than her and Dendro synergizes amazingly with Furina.
I’ve been a baizhu healer main since he came out. He’s just so much faster and heals more than the others I have, so I use him all the time and with almost all my teams. I’m so glad he works well with Furina since I love both of them!
Baizhu really got the short end of the stick when he first came out. Star Rail picked up some rapid attention, and out of all the healers, he felt like the least impressive. Only those that pulled for him were those that knew of him long before Dendro was a thing. I’m glad I got him when he first came out because I feel like I was one of the few that really thought he was strong. Sure he shield was weak, but his heals, I never saw high numbers like his before. And since Furina is out now and he works even better, I’m glad to see he’s starting to get the love he should have gotten before. May not be the best option still, but I feel like he’s getting the love Hoyoverse was hoping he’d get in the beginning. I’m proud to use him still 😢
When I saw Baizhu, I was like "So this is HP scaling Dendro Catalyst User who can heal...sounds like he will be perfect for my second Dendro team with Nahida staying in my first team"
Baizhu has always found his place in my teams that need both a healer and some form of dendro application. He was severely misunderstood, but that's just how it is with every sustain unit in Genshin, huh?
I don't think it's quite fair to say "misunderstood" as nobody really has the power to look into the future of when they will be viable. There are certainly some doomposters, no doubt, but most people judge a character's value on what they offer at that point in time. This always changes, and the ones who should be ridiculed are the ones that make it their entire personality to shit on a character when they aren't presently viable
He was not severely misunderstood, his power level was understood correctly on release. A character cannot and should not be rated based on future potential. Baizhu was definitely worse on release, and people correctly assessed him then.
@@alexr1318 True, nobody has the power to look into the future, but it's such a common occurrence by now that sustain units, particularly premium 5 star ones will always perform better as time goes by. Kokomi's case was literally the basis for this yet people still took their time to doompost and just underrate a character in general. That's what I don't get with this community. It's like no one bothered to learn of a unit's potential capability. We've all established that meta changes as the patch goes on but everyone loves to doompost a sustain unit.
@@Idkwhattoputlmaoejjdjsdn Nah, that's where you're wrong. I've never rated Baizhu based on how strong he'd be in the future. During his beta, I knew he would find a solid place in teams just because of the fact he can provide SO much in one kit. That is so invaluable. When a character can provide stagger res, application, and OP healing on top of all that, that's when you're supposed to understand that it's a good character.
@@khoraaaa yeah, and for me, I just did dailies and not farm at all and stopped for like a month, but now I'm super hyped to play w the new chars. I wonder how long this enthusiasm will last tho, hopefully forever
Had Baizhu since his release - he has never left my dendro teams since. Such a good character. Super easy to build, with a craftable free weapon being as good as his signature.
Sidenote to his second constellation from a Baizhu main: His Explorer Talent as well as 2nd Con are especially good in Fontaine exploration, because its access to healing underwater, where you cant use your healers abilities normally. Also at 2nd con his Dendro application is above avarage to really good and his healing (also with 1st con) for Furina especially gets really good. So if you want to go for constellations C2 is really great, increases QoL and is unreplaceable in Fontaine exploration (apart from maybe dehyas passive healing). Thx for reading ^^
Harmacist Baizhu main since day 0 here. I'm so SO happy he's finally recognized and appreciated by the community. On release a lot of people called him Yaoyao sidegrade (which even before Furina was objectively not true), but now he finally gets to shine and be his best self! Loved him since 1.0, will continue loving him till the end 💚
im very happy that i pulled for baizhu today, tho im not very sure why he is using a sword and his snake turned into an orbiting ice ball, but the healing is really good. really happy with my baizhu so far 🥰
I've been waiting for Baizhu ever since 1.0 patch days when he was introduced. got him to C2 will all I've saved up, and he's on almost every dendro team I can make, happy to see him shining even more
He even creates one of Neuvillette's best teams.. with Neuvillette, Furina, Baizhu, and anemo shredder.. he easily solves Neuvillette's and Furina's problems as he gives team heals and shield..
Not saying that Baizhu isn't great in that comp, but if you pulled for Furina then you might have Charlotte. She is also a great healer for that team! If you get her C1 then she will give you some healing overtime as well which negates Furina's HP drain for a few seconds. It just depends on your preference I think. If you want more damage via bloom, or if you like freezing the enemies.
@@kf5753 Charlotte shines more with Wriothesley-Furina team or any Wrio comps in general. Baizhu and Jean are still the best choices for Furina's healer slot.
Wouldn't Jean be better as she's both a healer and an anemo shredder and then you can use someone else in the last slot for comfort? (Like zhongli, whose shield is much stronger)
@@katharsis101-Kazuha is much more comfortable for a Neuvillette team in my experience. Zhongli isn’t guaranteed to hydro crystallize, and since you are already sacrificing a draconic stack to have Furina he needs something more reliable for a hydro reaction.
@@kamveng453 I see. I don't have Wrio, but I do love how she freezes the enemies on my Neuvilette team. I've always wanted a freeze comp but I never liked the cryo characters
@@luminous3558that's not giving him enough credit. he's a solid healer and i don't think any other does so much in a single kit as him interruption res, dendro app, buffing and not to mention large amount of healing for all party members only with his E he's "replaceable" but he's exceptionally good at the things he does and brings a lot of comfort for ur team
@@luminous3558no they do say he’s bad, it’s so easy to say that when people see a healer with elemental application that’s outclassed. I mean Kokomi was hydro and an off fielder who could apply hydro and people thought she was *bad* not just, outclassed or underwhelming but like an actually bad character.
I took a almost year long break from genshin, stopped playing when I pulled for Yelan ( 6/2022 ) and came back just to pull for baizhu ( 5/2023 ) hes been so fun to play the last few months but now with furina neuvillette and kuki its become my favorite team to play
Man, it's like you're making these guides for me. I had planned to pull for Baizhu over Furina as I really wanted another Dendro character and healer, but got lucky and got both him and Furina. Even had spare fates so pulled on the weapon banner for the first time ever and got his signature weapon so having an updated guide for Baizhu was EXACTLY what I was looking for these last days. Once I get around to farm for Furina's ascension materials I will definately try out the Alhaitham/Kuki/Furina/Baizhu team (over my current Alhaitham/Kuki/Xingqiu/Nahida) and see how the two compare (my current team is already really good and the one that carries me through the harder content, so if Furin+Baizhu can improve on that I'll be very happy!). Even have a pretty damn decent set of artifacts (four piece Deepwood) with all HP% and ~183% ER from substats alone so it's nice seeing I basically am already set up completely. I just hope I didn't use up all my good luck.
I think the premiere use of Baizhu now is the the Neuvillette, Furina and Kazuha team. Kazuha covers the lower dendro application and res reduction for us with VV swirls while Baizhu gives Neuvillette some much needed shielding to prevent interruption to his channeling. Plus with Ocean-hued appears to work with Neuvillette's massive healing to fill the overflow and get max pops easily. Not sure this is intended however.
Thanks for the guide! Baizhu is one of my favorite characters, and I got both him and his weapon when he was first released. It's great that he's finally getting his moment in the spotlight. Definitely going to use him with Furina as soon as I finish building her.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH ZYOX, I literally got furina on release and now I am pulling for baizhu and was watching your old guide but it was outdated so had to go through a lot of hassle but here you are coming in clutch again
I got Baizhu on the first banner realese and I really enjoy playing with him, he is my Nilou healer since I dont have Kokomi and works very well. glad with Furina now he gets even better!!
I just got Baizhu recently and furina put them together on a quick bloom team with Alhaitham and it has been the most fun team I have played in a while (besides 16:18)
I never planned on pulling for him but after getting Furina, her team wide hp drain and her buff was definitely hard to sustain. And since I don't have Jean, Yao Yao or Kokomi, decided to go for him and honestly, best decision ever. His synergy with Furina is just so good! And he brings so much comfort to the team.
glad Baizhu is getting more notice! i grab him on his 1st run cause i usually don't like using child characters (the radish being an exception) because of their playstyle and sometimes clunkiness. i did give Yaoyao a chance for Yuegui but she just wasn't my style. Baizhu is comfy while keeping you alive without you having to think about it. xD
one thing about his burst is by overhealing the active character for ~15 seconds he will keep triggering furina's A1 passive and continuously keep everybody's HP way above 50% for furina to drain.
I got Baizhu's weapon trying to get Furina's sword and that made me pull for him. Got him early at 40 pulls That being said, I got Furina's sword 8 pulls after I got Baizhu's weapon so it all worked out in the end for me
Ever since I pulled Baizhu during his release he's been a staple in so many of my teams, he is one of my most used characters and after getting Furina (won the 50/50) I now got his C2 (also won the 50/50). I use him so much that I feel like it was worth it to make him even more comfy to use. I actually use the clam set with him because I tend to use him with another character who already holds the dendro set or he is in a team where dendro damage doesn't matter. It's kind of funny because picking up a mint makes a bubble, too 😂
day 1 baizhu puller here they thought me crazy but i always knew my man would be meta someday god bless 🙏 so proud of you snake man look how far you've come
i remember when everyone was like omg baizhu a dendro character when will he be released 😱 and then he gets released and not a single soul talks abt him
the point of the burst shields is to trigger the healing. they don't prevent the damage of the hits, but they accomplish the same effect by healing the damage dealt to you instead.
Very excited to see this. Baizhu like kokomi has shown mean that 5 star healers get better and stronger later in game. He was one of my first characters I really like seeing when playing genshin before his release. So I glad I got him on his first banner.
Something that it is worth mentioning is that baizhu aoe heals comes from his E, his the only one that does that, so its a lot easier to top up your characters HP. Abother thing that comes from personal experience is that hes really strong and super easy to build, protoype amber, ER sands, 50k and you are done.
I worry for people who want Baizhu now that they have Furina and are going to "wait until his next banner." The sales ratio for him both runs are... veeeery low. And it's not surprising, people don't like to pull on healers, this is not the first time it's happened. But thinking of it from a business perspective, why would Hoyoverse continue to run a character that is just not raking in any cash at all? I think people may be waiting a very, veeeery long time for his next run, if they even graciously give another one.
I've been obsessed with Baizhu since I first saw him in game over 2 years ago, so of course I saved and pulled his C2 during his first run. He already is essential in many of my teams and I'm so happy Furina adds even more value to my favourite man!
That's it I'm pulling for him. After contemplating for so long on whether to skip him and pull for Clorinde or pull for Baizhu cuz he seems like a very convenient healer I decided to watch some guides to help me decide and I've finally bitten the bullet. Wish me luck cuz his banner is ending tomorrow. Edit: I GOT HIM AFTER 30 PULLS!!!! I pulled using Qiqi in Bubu Pharmacy for extra luck 😂
As someone with crippling ADHD, I find your videos so helpful. I physically cannot focus enough to read the paragraphed descriptions below talents, artifacts, and what have you. Your videos are ADHD enough to work right in sync with my brain, and keep me listening - I further understand effects of different choices in the game, and can keep myself working on 3 or 4 characters at a time, as opposed to 50. Thanks man c: Edit: I didn't even have the attention span to proofread-
Everyone who defended Baizhu and pulled him when he first ran: Dendro Daddy finally getting the recognition he deserves. What I like about Baizhu is he's good for more than just heals. Gives his own healing bonus, own Dendro Bonus damage, can heal you underwater, and the Dendro reaction buffing. Really balanced support that does a bit of everything and if you do get the matcha donut, you add in another buff. Very easy to build and versatile, there's no one absolute way to build or play him (EM build slaps) Good replacement for Nahida if you need a second Dendro support or don't have her. He's well balanced at C0. C1 helps with his energy issue and an extra heal is always nice. C2 just makes him absolutely busted (also works underwater). I was going to get Furina for Baizhu originally...but there's no point. If you know how to use him, he doesn't benefit much from her, but she benefits from him.
I just want to say that Baizhu's kit if focusing more not on Dendro specifically but on Burgeon and Hyperbloom as the highest support dmg he can provide is on those reactions. I would suggest more to put Baizhu on Kuki's Hyperbloom teams or Thoma's Burgeon teams. But knowing Burgeon, maybe on Pyro Archon Quest in 5.0 patches, we might get something better out of the Pyro comps.
I skipped Baizhu first time around. I only pulled him this time because I failed the 50/50 on the weapon banner and got his signature weapon. So I built him... and OMG he's a healing machine! I massively underestimated just how good he is at team healing. I use him in a Neuvillette/Furina/Kazuha team and it honestly feels like I'm cheating. He has perfect synergy with Neuvillette and Furina. I can't recommend him and this setup more highly!
I got Baizhu on his first banner and he’s basically been glued to my Nilou and Cyno ever since, but now that Furina is here I can slot him into more types of teams
Had baizhu since release because i had this ideea of using him with alhaitham and freeing Nahida up for my second team. Can’t wait for the new healer set in 4.3
Right? Like have you tried using Yaoyao with Alhaitham pre-Baizhu/Kirara release? Absolute nightmare to play. Man is muscular yet he flies off into space at the slightest smack. No shields for Alhaitham is atrocious. Ofc Zhongli is better but a Dendro defensive unit batteries more.
I just got Baizhu or so after getting Furina with my guaranteed on the first day. I was going for Charlotte as I was pretty low pity with no hopes to get him(I think it was 45 pity and still no Charlotte XD) I was looking for a good video on how to build him and what weapon to use and this video came out, it was perfectly timed! I'm kinda happy I have prototype Amber R5 and casually had pretty good deep wood artifacts for him( I was farming in that domain for Al Haitham) so I mostly just need to lv up everything including him! I was planning to use him with Al Haitham, Furina and Yae Miko, and seeing a team pretty similar in the video, made me really happy tbh Great video explanation, it was pretty detailed!
bro no lie, i accidentally pulled him awhile ago coz i was trying to get charlotte and i was like fck now i need to build him i hope zyox has an updated baizhu guide for furina teams.
i pulled baizhu his first go around because i love his design and im so glad he's getting more appreciation now! i also love that he does a little bit of healing whenever you pick plants in the overworld. not meta at all, but cute :)
I was called crazy for C6’R2 ing him when he first came out but the power of my simping from when I first met him in 1.1 kept me going 😂 nothing stopped me back then not even the doom posting I saw. My dedication really paid off and I’m reaping the QoL rewards! Glad to see how much people have come around to him now
I got furina and then got baizhu to c2 and it is a literal lifesaver. You get dendro application and party wide healing completely off field which helps furina build stacks and keeps the team healthy even during her skill drain. Definitely worth losing pity twice for it.
As someone who had him since his release it's great to see that now he's fr useful (thanks Furina), love his skills even with some small issues that I personally don't like
I got Baizhu on his first banner just for Yae and Cyno aggravate hoping for him to get an indirect buff with Fontaine. Now he is insane for Furina for both overworld and abyss!!
I’m glad that I’ve got Baizhu and purposely his C1 solely for 2 Eskill into Burst rotation during his release. And people underestimated his value whether on Dendro related teams or a simple team wide on demand healer. As a sucker for Utility characters, him, Kokomi, Bennett and Zhongli are my well invested chars. Coz they don’t just heal/shield but also buffs your team.
Furina just like nahida is such an enabeler. Old characters are suddenly a lot more viable and I'm really excited about this direction that genshin is going
I’ve wanted him since his first banner, super happy I got him on his rerun! But now I’m torn between running him with furina or using her with Wriothesley like I originally intended… guess I could play around with fridge teams🤔 either way that has to wait as i didn’t prefarm a single thing other than violet grass
I think a nice alternative way is as a reaction enabler! So if you aim to get him some EM while keeping HP around 30k I think that’d be nice. Obviously ER should be enough to keep his burst active!
This came at a perfect time. I decided to try for Baizhu and got him, and really enjoying to use him in many teams. Looking forward to when I get him fullt huikt so I can use him in my Alhaitham and Cyno teams
Also on Furina you should NOT underestimate Sac Frags!!! The EM kinda gets lost unless it's in bloom teams, but with full HP mainstats and some sub stats - in a double hydro furina team - he can get 40-48k HP WITH sac frags and give you more instant healing to max out Furina Ult I run EM Raiden-XQ-Furina-C2 Baizhu on fielder with sac frags and i have 48K hp and 3 skills on the first rotation 2 on the second rotation easily capping Furina
Was thinking of pulling him with my non existent primos, from pulling Furina, I realised my Nahida already fulfil the Dendro role for my teams. If I had Cyno, I’d for sure pull him and pair them together.
Should also be mentioned that Baizhu enables an, albeit premium, really strong Nilou team of Nilou - Nahida - Baizhu - Ayato. It's the comfiest out of all the Nilou team variations I've tried thus far, almost afk like.
Baizhu's really comfy and helps Furina's HP drain feel irrelevant, yay 🐍
Bonus note about ER - you may sometimes need more than mentioned (~225+) but generally I highly recommend running weapons like Prototype Amber/Jadefall/Favonious & using 2 skills per rotation if possible to greatly decrease your ER needs.
I really want Baizhu, but just got Furina and now I have about 80 primogems left, so probably have to wait until next time.

Agreed! The only other healer that comes CLOSE to his synergy with Furina has been Jean. She really only falls behind because there are better Anemo characters than her and Dendro synergizes amazingly with Furina.
I’ve been a baizhu healer main since he came out. He’s just so much faster and heals more than the others I have, so I use him all the time and with almost all my teams. I’m so glad he works well with Furina since I love both of them!
Same here
He's honestly the best healer in the game. He's so easy to use and naturally stops your team from dying, even just when exploring.
Baizhu really got the short end of the stick when he first came out. Star Rail picked up some rapid attention, and out of all the healers, he felt like the least impressive. Only those that pulled for him were those that knew of him long before Dendro was a thing. I’m glad I got him when he first came out because I feel like I was one of the few that really thought he was strong. Sure he shield was weak, but his heals, I never saw high numbers like his before. And since Furina is out now and he works even better, I’m glad to see he’s starting to get the love he should have gotten before. May not be the best option still, but I feel like he’s getting the love Hoyoverse was hoping he’d get in the beginning. I’m proud to use him still 😢
When I saw Baizhu, I was like "So this is HP scaling Dendro Catalyst User who can heal...sounds like he will be perfect for my second Dendro team with Nahida staying in my first team"
I'm really happy Baizhu's getting more attention. I've had his C2 since he first released and I've always found him so much fun to play!
Baizhu has always found his place in my teams that need both a healer and some form of dendro application. He was severely misunderstood, but that's just how it is with every sustain unit in Genshin, huh?
Whenever hoyo releases a "pure" healer/shielder most of the community massively underrate them.
I don't think it's quite fair to say "misunderstood" as nobody really has the power to look into the future of when they will be viable. There are certainly some doomposters, no doubt, but most people judge a character's value on what they offer at that point in time. This always changes, and the ones who should be ridiculed are the ones that make it their entire personality to shit on a character when they aren't presently viable
He was not severely misunderstood, his power level was understood correctly on release. A character cannot and should not be rated based on future potential. Baizhu was definitely worse on release, and people correctly assessed him then.
@@alexr1318 True, nobody has the power to look into the future, but it's such a common occurrence by now that sustain units, particularly premium 5 star ones will always perform better as time goes by. Kokomi's case was literally the basis for this yet people still took their time to doompost and just underrate a character in general. That's what I don't get with this community. It's like no one bothered to learn of a unit's potential capability. We've all established that meta changes as the patch goes on but everyone loves to doompost a sustain unit.
@@Idkwhattoputlmaoejjdjsdn Nah, that's where you're wrong. I've never rated Baizhu based on how strong he'd be in the future. During his beta, I knew he would find a solid place in teams just because of the fact he can provide SO much in one kit. That is so invaluable. When a character can provide stagger res, application, and OP healing on top of all that, that's when you're supposed to understand that it's a good character.
Wow surely this guide maker uses Baizhu's weapon on him
Aware
5-Star that's slightly better than a craftable f2p weapon... truly a weapon banner moment
surely the macha donut is a game changer for him, right ?
@@Zy0x rip it couldve been furina's sword
@@jaesthminiefurinas sword isn't that better. Festering desire is better overall
i’ve had baizhu since 3.6 but i was burnt out and never actually built
him 😭
not only did furina fix my burn out but she also is making me build him!!
genshin burnt out is the worse, makes farming artifacts so lame
@@khoraaaa true same thing happened to me around 2.2
sameee
@@valt4462 facts, like you’re self aware u need to grind domains daily for good artifacts but it’s so boring
@@khoraaaa yeah, and for me, I just did dailies and not farm at all and stopped for like a month, but now I'm super hyped to play w the new chars. I wonder how long this enthusiasm will last tho, hopefully forever
Had Baizhu since his release - he has never left my dendro teams since. Such a good character.
Super easy to build, with a craftable free weapon being as good as his signature.
Sidenote to his second constellation from a Baizhu main: His Explorer Talent as well as 2nd Con are especially good in Fontaine exploration, because its access to healing underwater, where you cant use your healers abilities normally.
Also at 2nd con his Dendro application is above avarage to really good and his healing (also with 1st con) for Furina especially gets really good.
So if you want to go for constellations C2 is really great, increases QoL and is unreplaceable in Fontaine exploration (apart from maybe dehyas passive healing).
Thx for reading ^^
I got him to C6 and got a C0 Furina so this guide is what I needed to make them work together 😊
zy0x is so
Quirky?
Tall?
Alpha?
its been 2 month, dont leave us hanging
Harmacist Baizhu main since day 0 here. I'm so SO happy he's finally recognized and appreciated by the community. On release a lot of people called him Yaoyao sidegrade (which even before Furina was objectively not true), but now he finally gets to shine and be his best self! Loved him since 1.0, will continue loving him till the end 💚
im very happy that i pulled for baizhu today, tho im not very sure why he is using a sword and his snake turned into an orbiting ice ball, but the healing is really good. really happy with my baizhu so far 🥰
😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂 oh no
I've been waiting for Baizhu ever since 1.0 patch days when he was introduced. got him to C2 will all I've saved up, and he's on almost every dendro team I can make, happy to see him shining even more
He even creates one of Neuvillette's best teams.. with Neuvillette, Furina, Baizhu, and anemo shredder.. he easily solves Neuvillette's and Furina's problems as he gives team heals and shield..
Not saying that Baizhu isn't great in that comp, but if you pulled for Furina then you might have Charlotte. She is also a great healer for that team! If you get her C1 then she will give you some healing overtime as well which negates Furina's HP drain for a few seconds. It just depends on your preference I think. If you want more damage via bloom, or if you like freezing the enemies.
@@kf5753 Charlotte shines more with Wriothesley-Furina team or any Wrio comps in general. Baizhu and Jean are still the best choices for Furina's healer slot.
Wouldn't Jean be better as she's both a healer and an anemo shredder and then you can use someone else in the last slot for comfort? (Like zhongli, whose shield is much stronger)
@@katharsis101-Kazuha is much more comfortable for a Neuvillette team in my experience. Zhongli isn’t guaranteed to hydro crystallize, and since you are already sacrificing a draconic stack to have Furina he needs something more reliable for a hydro reaction.
@@kamveng453 I see. I don't have Wrio, but I do love how she freezes the enemies on my Neuvilette team. I've always wanted a freeze comp but I never liked the cryo characters
I’m glad people are finally acknowledging Baizhu’s strengths, feels like all I’ve seen are people doomposting over nothing
They did that to Kazuha AND Kokomi. I've honestly just started ignoring the community reviews when they say that characters are BAD
People never said he was bad, he is just replaceable af so its a pull if you like the character angle. You never need him.
@@luminous3558that's not giving him enough credit. he's a solid healer and i don't think any other does so much in a single kit as him
interruption res, dendro app, buffing and not to mention large amount of healing for all party members only with his E
he's "replaceable" but he's exceptionally good at the things he does and brings a lot of comfort for ur team
@@luminous3558no they do say he’s bad, it’s so easy to say that when people see a healer with elemental application that’s outclassed. I mean Kokomi was hydro and an off fielder who could apply hydro and people thought she was *bad* not just, outclassed or underwhelming but like an actually bad character.
@@samkeiser9776 but isn't for kokomi's case was ir because of the past where she had icd on her jelly fish?
I took a almost year long break from genshin, stopped playing when I pulled for Yelan ( 6/2022 ) and came back just to pull for baizhu ( 5/2023 ) hes been so fun to play the last few months but now with furina neuvillette and kuki its become my favorite team to play
Man, it's like you're making these guides for me. I had planned to pull for Baizhu over Furina as I really wanted another Dendro character and healer, but got lucky and got both him and Furina. Even had spare fates so pulled on the weapon banner for the first time ever and got his signature weapon so having an updated guide for Baizhu was EXACTLY what I was looking for these last days. Once I get around to farm for Furina's ascension materials I will definately try out the Alhaitham/Kuki/Furina/Baizhu team (over my current Alhaitham/Kuki/Xingqiu/Nahida) and see how the two compare (my current team is already really good and the one that carries me through the harder content, so if Furin+Baizhu can improve on that I'll be very happy!).
Even have a pretty damn decent set of artifacts (four piece Deepwood) with all HP% and ~183% ER from substats alone so it's nice seeing I basically am already set up completely.
I just hope I didn't use up all my good luck.
What a tall, humble, and very normal person, surely his streams are just as normal as this guide
I got Baizhu when he was released and I LOVED him. Day 1 Furina release I put her together with him and they work SO GOOD together!!
I use them with Xingqiu and Kuki and it’s just great
As a Baizhu day 1 enjoyer this makes me happy
Ur taste >>>
i was able to get both furina and baizhu this patch so im happy to see hes great with her
As a baizhu enjoyer, this makes me super happy. I love his playstyle and utility, barely left my team since his first banner 😍
I think the premiere use of Baizhu now is the the Neuvillette, Furina and Kazuha team. Kazuha covers the lower dendro application and res reduction for us with VV swirls while Baizhu gives Neuvillette some much needed shielding to prevent interruption to his channeling. Plus with Ocean-hued appears to work with Neuvillette's massive healing to fill the overflow and get max pops easily. Not sure this is intended however.
Finally baizhu appreciation vid😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉finally the respect he deserves
Thanks for the guide! Baizhu is one of my favorite characters, and I got both him and his weapon when he was first released. It's great that he's finally getting his moment in the spotlight. Definitely going to use him with Furina as soon as I finish building her.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH ZYOX, I literally got furina on release and now I am pulling for baizhu and was watching your old guide but it was outdated so had to go through a lot of hassle but here you are coming in clutch again
I got Baizhu on the first banner realese and I really enjoy playing with him, he is my Nilou healer since I dont have Kokomi and works very well. glad with Furina now he gets even better!!
I just got Baizhu recently and furina put them together on a quick bloom team with Alhaitham and it has been the most fun team I have played in a while (besides 16:18)
Finally, redemption for snek king (as a cyno main ive always used him ever since release)
I never planned on pulling for him but after getting Furina, her team wide hp drain and her buff was definitely hard to sustain. And since I don't have Jean, Yao Yao or Kokomi, decided to go for him and honestly, best decision ever. His synergy with Furina is just so good! And he brings so much comfort to the team.
glad Baizhu is getting more notice! i grab him on his 1st run cause i usually don't like using child characters (the radish being an exception) because of their playstyle and sometimes clunkiness. i did give Yaoyao a chance for Yuegui but she just wasn't my style. Baizhu is comfy while keeping you alive without you having to think about it. xD
one thing about his burst is by overhealing the active character for ~15 seconds he will keep triggering furina's A1 passive and continuously keep everybody's HP way above 50% for furina to drain.
I got Baizhu's weapon trying to get Furina's sword and that made me pull for him. Got him early at 40 pulls
That being said, I got Furina's sword 8 pulls after I got Baizhu's weapon so it all worked out in the end for me
How much did you spend?
@@callmealfs About 200 pulls. Got Furina, Baizhu and both their signatures. I'm F2P
Omg u sound like such a wholesome, nice, tall person and for sure you are good at the game!!! Imma check out your streams!!! 🥰☺️😊
So glad to see him finally shine
I got him on first release. I've used him for Hyperbloom and aggravate teams. No regrets.
Ever since I pulled Baizhu during his release he's been a staple in so many of my teams, he is one of my most used characters and after getting Furina (won the 50/50) I now got his C2 (also won the 50/50). I use him so much that I feel like it was worth it to make him even more comfy to use.
I actually use the clam set with him because I tend to use him with another character who already holds the dendro set or he is in a team where dendro damage doesn't matter. It's kind of funny because picking up a mint makes a bubble, too 😂
the way the release of furina made yaoyao overshadowed by baizhu, how the tables have turned😂
Baizhu's shields are really good in nilou teams due to 250% efficiency for dendro hits
I got him after I got myself a Furina and... THIS IS THE EXACT VDO I NEEDED
THANK YOU A BUNCH
day 1 baizhu puller here they thought me crazy but i always knew my man would be meta someday god bless 🙏 so proud of you snake man look how far you've come
Baizhu is kinda underrated tbh, shield heal deal dmg, yes u can call him diona but a 15 pro max one
i remember when everyone was like omg baizhu a dendro character when will he be released 😱 and then he gets released and not a single soul talks abt him
I just pulled Furina and then got Baizhu in two single pulls later, so I’m very happy to see this guide right now 🥳
Ngl he got the same Kokomi treatment now look at them now. There will be a new healer artifact Domain for Baizhu. Redemption arc for him
the point of the burst shields is to trigger the healing. they don't prevent the damage of the hits, but they accomplish the same effect by healing the damage dealt to you instead.
Very excited to see this. Baizhu like kokomi has shown mean that 5 star healers get better and stronger later in game. He was one of my first characters I really like seeing when playing genshin before his release. So I glad I got him on his first banner.
Something that it is worth mentioning is that baizhu aoe heals comes from his E, his the only one that does that, so its a lot easier to top up your characters HP. Abother thing that comes from personal experience is that hes really strong and super easy to build, protoype amber, ER sands, 50k and you are done.
I worry for people who want Baizhu now that they have Furina and are going to "wait until his next banner." The sales ratio for him both runs are... veeeery low. And it's not surprising, people don't like to pull on healers, this is not the first time it's happened. But thinking of it from a business perspective, why would Hoyoverse continue to run a character that is just not raking in any cash at all? I think people may be waiting a very, veeeery long time for his next run, if they even graciously give another one.
I've been obsessed with Baizhu since I first saw him in game over 2 years ago, so of course I saved and pulled his C2 during his first run. He already is essential in many of my teams and I'm so happy Furina adds even more value to my favourite man!
That's it I'm pulling for him. After contemplating for so long on whether to skip him and pull for Clorinde or pull for Baizhu cuz he seems like a very convenient healer I decided to watch some guides to help me decide and I've finally bitten the bullet. Wish me luck cuz his banner is ending tomorrow.
Edit: I GOT HIM AFTER 30 PULLS!!!!
I pulled using Qiqi in Bubu Pharmacy for extra luck 😂
i pulled them both and im so happy bc I love Baizhu and Furina managed to grow on me after the archon quest
As someone with crippling ADHD, I find your videos so helpful. I physically cannot focus enough to read the paragraphed descriptions below talents, artifacts, and what have you. Your videos are ADHD enough to work right in sync with my brain, and keep me listening - I further understand effects of different choices in the game, and can keep myself working on 3 or 4 characters at a time, as opposed to 50. Thanks man c:
Edit: I didn't even have the attention span to proofread-
Everyone who defended Baizhu and pulled him when he first ran: Dendro Daddy finally getting the recognition he deserves.
What I like about Baizhu is he's good for more than just heals. Gives his own healing bonus, own Dendro Bonus damage, can heal you underwater, and the Dendro reaction buffing. Really balanced support that does a bit of everything and if you do get the matcha donut, you add in another buff. Very easy to build and versatile, there's no one absolute way to build or play him (EM build slaps) Good replacement for Nahida if you need a second Dendro support or don't have her.
He's well balanced at C0. C1 helps with his energy issue and an extra heal is always nice. C2 just makes him absolutely busted (also works underwater).
I was going to get Furina for Baizhu originally...but there's no point. If you know how to use him, he doesn't benefit much from her, but she benefits from him.
Baizhu the "from good to exceptional" character.
I just want to say that Baizhu's kit if focusing more not on Dendro specifically but on Burgeon and Hyperbloom as the highest support dmg he can provide is on those reactions. I would suggest more to put Baizhu on Kuki's Hyperbloom teams or Thoma's Burgeon teams.
But knowing Burgeon, maybe on Pyro Archon Quest in 5.0 patches, we might get something better out of the Pyro comps.
Onfielder Burgeon and Hyperbloom triggers really shine with a Nahida+Baizhu combo.
Thank you for making this vid about Baizhu ❤
I skipped Baizhu first time around.
I only pulled him this time because I failed the 50/50 on the weapon banner and got his signature weapon.
So I built him... and OMG he's a healing machine!
I massively underestimated just how good he is at team healing. I use him in a Neuvillette/Furina/Kazuha team and it honestly feels like I'm cheating.
He has perfect synergy with Neuvillette and Furina. I can't recommend him and this setup more highly!
baizhu is soo good! love him sm
something to mention with baizhu and furina as a duo is thanks to furina's passive, it's really easy for his burst to full heal a team
I definitly got him on release i liked him alot and glad i didnt absolutely need his weapon lol
I came here right after I got him at 11 pity right after I got c1 furina. Really good guide.
I got Baizhu on his first banner and he’s basically been glued to my Nilou and Cyno ever since, but now that Furina is here I can slot him into more types of teams
Had baizhu since release because i had this ideea of using him with alhaitham and freeing Nahida up for my second team.
Can’t wait for the new healer set in 4.3
Right? Like have you tried using Yaoyao with Alhaitham pre-Baizhu/Kirara release?
Absolute nightmare to play. Man is muscular yet he flies off into space at the slightest smack. No shields for Alhaitham is atrocious.
Ofc Zhongli is better but a Dendro defensive unit batteries more.
I just got Baizhu or so after getting Furina with my guaranteed on the first day. I was going for Charlotte as I was pretty low pity with no hopes to get him(I think it was 45 pity and still no Charlotte XD) I was looking for a good video on how to build him and what weapon to use and this video came out, it was perfectly timed!
I'm kinda happy I have prototype Amber R5 and casually had pretty good deep wood artifacts for him( I was farming in that domain for Al Haitham) so I mostly just need to lv up everything including him!
I was planning to use him with Al Haitham, Furina and Yae Miko, and seeing a team pretty similar in the video, made me really happy tbh
Great video explanation, it was pretty detailed!
bro no lie, i accidentally pulled him awhile ago coz i was trying to get charlotte and i was like fck now i need to build him i hope zyox has an updated baizhu guide for furina teams.
i pulled baizhu his first go around because i love his design and im so glad he's getting more appreciation now! i also love that he does a little bit of healing whenever you pick plants in the overworld. not meta at all, but cute :)
I was called crazy for C6’R2 ing him when he first came out but the power of my simping from when I first met him in 1.1 kept me going 😂 nothing stopped me back then not even the doom posting I saw. My dedication really paid off and I’m reaping the QoL rewards! Glad to see how much people have come around to him now
He’s honestly so amazing, i love his gameplay, every little thing is so fun or smooth and useful + his voice is so nice so that’s also a bonus
I got furina and then got baizhu to c2 and it is a literal lifesaver. You get dendro application and party wide healing completely off field which helps furina build stacks and keeps the team healthy even during her skill drain. Definitely worth losing pity twice for it.
I have Baizhu for my Neuvilette team and it is great, when in coop it is a great duo for quick damage. It just make Neuvi a no brain DPS
As someone who had him since his release it's great to see that now he's fr useful (thanks Furina), love his skills even with some small issues that I personally don't like
I am enjoying Baizhu Burgeon with Hu Tao and Furina.
Full EM Hu Tao or is burgeon just bonus damage while using Hu Tao like normal?
@@ulrikruby Hu Tao like normal, but Hu Tao like normal have a lot of EM in the first place.
I got Baizhu on his first banner just for Yae and Cyno aggravate hoping for him to get an indirect buff with Fontaine.
Now he is insane for Furina for both overworld and abyss!!
I’m glad that I’ve got Baizhu and purposely his C1 solely for 2 Eskill into Burst rotation during his release. And people underestimated his value whether on Dendro related teams or a simple team wide on demand healer.
As a sucker for Utility characters, him, Kokomi, Bennett and Zhongli are my well invested chars. Coz they don’t just heal/shield but also buffs your team.
Furina just like nahida is such an enabeler. Old characters are suddenly a lot more viable and I'm really excited about this direction that genshin is going
I’ve wanted him since his first banner, super happy I got him on his rerun! But now I’m torn between running him with furina or using her with Wriothesley like I originally intended… guess I could play around with fridge teams🤔 either way that has to wait as i didn’t prefarm a single thing other than violet grass
Ain’t no way we got a Baizhu guide before Charlotte
I wouldn't really say Baizhu's underused since he's been consistently doing well in the abyss usage rates ever since he came out.
Thx for the update Guide! 100ish Pull Got Both Baizhu and Furina.
Can we appreciate how they tried their best to make this amazing video for us 💖💖💖
Zyox is truly A streamer of all time
Mr. Socks I knew you would be Jaded to Fall for the Splendor of Baizhu's signature weapon. Thank you for staying relatable and humble.
I think a nice alternative way is as a reaction enabler! So if you aim to get him some EM while keeping HP around 30k I think that’d be nice. Obviously ER should be enough to keep his burst active!
i saved up for furina, got her and then got super lucky and got baizhu 13 pulls later, winning the 50/50. This video has been very helpful
Will there be a charlotte build guide coming? I know I could watch someone else's but I just really like your videos best
This came at a perfect time. I decided to try for Baizhu and got him, and really enjoying to use him in many teams. Looking forward to when I get him fullt huikt so I can use him in my Alhaitham and Cyno teams
Furina is already just incredible and now Baizhu just gives her even more of a edge is incredible.
Also on Furina you should NOT underestimate Sac Frags!!! The EM kinda gets lost unless it's in bloom teams, but with full HP mainstats and some sub stats - in a double hydro furina team - he can get 40-48k HP WITH sac frags and give you more instant healing to max out Furina Ult
I run EM Raiden-XQ-Furina-C2 Baizhu on fielder with sac frags and i have 48K hp and 3 skills on the first rotation 2 on the second rotation easily capping Furina
Me who accidently pulled baizhu but now can use him with furina:
Yes... All according to plan😅 😂
If you sum up all the shields he gets while his burst is active, you'll see he gets a decent damage mitigation with it
It's nice but you heal quite a lot so it wouldn't matter much, his shield is very useful since you don't get thrown around by enemies like a paper
Was thinking of pulling him with my non existent primos, from pulling Furina, I realised my Nahida already fulfil the Dendro role for my teams.
If I had Cyno, I’d for sure pull him and pair them together.
Should also be mentioned that Baizhu enables an, albeit premium, really strong Nilou team of Nilou - Nahida - Baizhu - Ayato. It's the comfiest out of all the Nilou team variations I've tried thus far, almost afk like.
