Genshin Impact Baizhu build | Pocket Tactics
Genshin Impact’s Baizhu is a five-star dendro catalyst user and healer who has been around since our first visit to Bubu Pharmacy in Liyue. With an interesting kit capable of healing, shielding, and driving elemental reactions, he’s a fine mixture of pharmacist and harm-assist, and we’re here to help you make the most of his powers with our guide to the best Genshin Impact Baizhu build, featuring his skills, best weapons and artifacts, materials, and more.

And, if you want to get the rest of you characters up to snuff, we’ve got build guides on all the other characters including Genshin Impact’s Ayaka, Genshin Impact’s Kokomi, Genshin Impact’s Childe, and more.
So let’s dive into everything you need to know about the best Genshin Impact Baizhu build.
What’s the best Genshin Impact Baizhu build?
While we’ve not had the chance to test him out ourselves just yet, it appears that Baizhu is a solid support character that excels in quickswap aggravate, bloom, and hyperbloom teams. However, due to his ability to heal allies, and even shield them through his burst, he appears to be pretty flexible, and we predict that he’ll be able to slot comfortably into many team comps, especially those that can benefit from dendro reactions.
We’ll be sure to update this section as soon as we know more.
What are the best Genshin Impact Baizhu weapons?
As with most five-star characters, Baizhu has his own signature five-star weapon tailored to his kit. Unfortunately, we don’t know anything for sure about this weapon just yet, but we’ve put together some predictions for the best alternatives based on what we know so far.
For a build focused on healing, it looks like Prototype Amber is your best shot, due to its skill supporting energy recharge. Alternatively, the famed three-star Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers at top refinement is a strong choice for both a healer and dendro support due to its high HP and the attack buff it provides to your team.
| Weapon | Effect | How to obtain |
| Prototype Amber | Bonus stat: HP Skill: when you use an elemental burst, you regenerate four energy every two seconds for six seconds. All party members regenerate 4% HP every two seconds for this duration |
Forge via blacksmith |
| Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers | Bonus stat: HP Skill: when you switch characters, the attack of the new character taking to the field increases by 24% for ten seconds. This effect can only occur once every 20 seconds |

What are the best Genshin Impact Baizhu artifacts?
Like his weapons, we can’t be entirely sure of the best artifacts for Baizhu just yet, but we can make some measured guesses based on his role and skills. For healer Baizhu, we believe Ocean-Hued Clam is the best option, as it boosts both his healing and physical damage substantially.
As a dendro support, Baizhu makes a great holder for Deepwood Memories, which provides a super handy team-wide buff. However, if you plan on pairing him with another character equipped with Deepwood Memories, go with a different set or a mix of both Deepwood and Ocean-Hued Clam, as the four-piece team-wide buff doesn’t stack.
| Artifact set | Effect | How to obtain |
| Ocean-Hued Clam | Two equipped: healing bonus +15% Four equipped: upon healing a party member, a foam appears accumulating healed HP for three seconds. The foam then explodes and deals 90% of the HP healed as damage to nearby enemies. Max accumulated healing is 30k HP, including over-heal. Only one foam can exist at a time, but it remains even if the equipping character leaves the field. Foam cooldown is 3.5 seconds |
Slumbering Court domain, For Hiraumi, Seirai Island |
| Deepwood Memories | Two equipped: dendro damage bonus +15% Four equipped: after elemental skills or bursts hit opponents, the targets’ dendro resistance decreases by 30% for eight seconds. This effect can trigger even when the equipping character isn’t on the field (team-wide buff, doesn’t stack if more than one member of your party equips this set) |
Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain, Avidya Forest, Sumeru |

Enter the Pulsing Clarity state, creating a Seamless Shield that absorbs dendro damage with 250% effectiveness. While in this state, Baizhu generates a new seamless shield every 2.5 seconds.

| All Things Are of the Earth | When Seamless Shiels heal characters, they gain the Year of Verdant Favor effect.

This effect lasts for six seconds |
What are Genshin Impact Baizhu’s constellations?
When you pull more than one copy of a character, you can unlock one of six special abilities called constellations. Here are all six of Baizhu’s constellations and what they do.
| Constellation | Effect |
| C1: Alternative Observation | Universal Diagnosis gains one additional charge |
| C2: Incisive Discernment | When your active character hits a nearby opponent with their attacks, Baizhu unleashes a Gossamer Sprite: Slice, which initiates one attack before returning, dealing 250% of Baizhu’s attack as dendro damage and healing for 20% of Universal Diagnosis’ Gossamer Sprite’s normal healing. The damage this deals counts as elemental skill damage. This effect can trigger once every five seconds |
| C3: All Aspects Stabilized | Increases the level of Holistic Revivification by three, to a maximum level of 15 |
| C4: Ancient Art of Perception | For 15 seconds after you use Holistic Revivification, Baizhu increases all nearby party members’ elemental mastery by 80 |
