Every Dendro Character In Genshin Impact, Ranked

Ever since its release in Version 3.0, the Dendro element has seen many new characters, and here's how good they are.

With the wide roster of healers in the game, Baizhu finds his spot in the meta by being able to cover a multitude of roles: Skill and Burst healing, interruption resistance in the form of small shields, DMG buffs to Dendro reactions, and being able to fit into Dendro teams, which have been dominating the game since Sumeru’s release.

6 You Can Heal Just By Collecting Materials

The most unique mechanic when playing as Baizhu is that you don’t need to use any of his abilities to heal your characters. With his Exploration Talent, Herbal Nourishment, when Baizhu is in the party, collecting harvestable items will heal your current active character by a small amount based on 2.5 percent of Baizhu’s Max HP.

Genshin Impact: Build Guide For Baizhu

Travelers have waited a long time to get their hands on Baizhu, and here's everything you need to know about the different ways you can build him.

It may not seem like a lot, but the fact that you can get healed just by collecting random stuff in the overworld, while you’re exploring or farming materials, makes it a pretty great ability, especially for an Exploration Passive. When Baizhu is on your team, it might be a good idea to collect anything that’s shining that you might come across.

5 He’s Both Melee and Ranged

Baizhu is a special type of Catalyst character in that he has both melee and ranged attacks. Using his Normal Attack, The Classics of Acupuncture, allows him to deal Dendro DMG to enemies directly in front of him, while his Charged Attack summons a string of AoE Dendro energy that can reach enemies from afar.

As a Catalyst character, Baizhu’s Normal and Charged Attacks are extremely important as he’s able to deal Dendro DMG without the need to use any abilities. Decide on whether to use his melee Normal Attacks or ranged Charged Attacks depending on the situation, in order to increase your team’s Dendro application.

4 His Elemental Skill Takes Time To Heal

One of Baizhu’s ways of healing is through his Elemental Skill, Universal Diagnosis. After using this Skill, Baizhu will unleash a spirit that will travel towards enemies and perform the following:

• Attacks enemies three times.
• Returns to your active character after it performs three attacks, or if there are no other enemies nearby.
• Heals your entire party upon returning based on Baizhu’s Max HP.

Genshin Impact: Ascension Materials For Baizhu

After a long wait, players can finally get their hands on Baizhu in Genshin Impact, and here's how to ascend him.

In battle, it’s important to note when this spirit will return to you, which is after it attacks thrice, as that’s the only time you’ll receive its healing. His Elemental Skill heals a lot but can’t heal you instantly, so you still need to be cautious of enemy attacks while you wait for the spirit to return to your current active character.

3 Don’t Treat Him As An Actual Shielder

After using his Elemental Burst, Baizhu will enter a state that allows him to create a series of small shields. While his Elemental Burst is active, he’ll perform the following things:

• Creates a shield that lasts for a brief period and heals the active character. Baizhu can generate a shield every 2.5 seconds.
• Unleashes a Spiritvein that deals Dendro DMG whenever a new shield is generated while the active character is still proctected by one, or when an existing one is destroyed.

The shields created by Baizhu can absorb Dendro DMG 250 percent more effectively compared to other Elemental DMG.

Unlike Diona, who can function as both a healer and a shielder, Baizhu can’t really be considered a proper shielder because his shields break easily, and only last for a short while. The main purpose of his shields is to offer quick instances of resistance to interruption, as well as provide additional healing, so act accordingly, as his shield doesn't behave like others.

2 His Stats Change According To Your Current HP

After reaching Level 20, you can unlock Baizhu’s first Ascension Passive, Five Fortunes Forever. Once this Passive is unlocked, he’ll gain different effects based on the current HP of your active character:

• When their HP is less than 50 percent, Baizhu gains 20 percent Healing Bonus.
• When their HP is equal to or more than 50 percent, Baizhu gains 25 percent Dendro DMG Bonus.

Genshin Impact: Best Team Compositions For Baizhu

Here are the best compositions for possible Baizhu teams in Genshin Impact!

This Passive lets you balance Baizhu’s stats more easily, allowing you to heal more when your active character is low in HP, or contribute more DMG whenever they aren’t in need of healing. Put this into consideration whenever you’re in a pinch, as you’ll be less likely to be taken down by enemies when Baizhu is in your team.

1 He Can Increase Your Dendro Reaction DMG Based On His HP

After unlocking his fourth Ascension Passive, All Things Are of the Earth at Level 70, Baizhu will be able to increase your team’s Dendro Reaction DMG based on how much Max HP he has.

In Dendro teams, when choosing between a Healing Bonus circlet or HP circlet for Baizhu, it’s better to go with HP, as it’ll contribute to his DMG buff Passive while still increasing his healing, and to an extent, his shielding. Conversely, in teams that don’t focus on Dendro Reactions, you can go ahead with a Healing Bonus circlet.

After a character gets healed by Baizhu’s shields, for each one thousand Max HP that Baizhu possesses:

• Increases the healed character’s Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon DMG by two percent.
• Increases the healed character’s Aggravate and Spread DMG by 0.8 percent.

This effect will last for six seconds, and will refresh every time your active character gets healed by his shields. The Max HP limit for this effect is 50 thousand HP, so make sure to build him with a lot of HP in his artifacts and weapons in order to increase your team’s Dendro Reaction DMG
