Meeee 🤣 I remember it today n just randomly pull hopin that i'll get kaveh in 1st try, but i got baizhu instead 😂 idk i should be happy bout that or not lol
Yeah I know people were upset about him being single target...but never realized how strong he would be if he was aoe and they are heavily trying to not make completely busted characters anymore aside from archons.
he still wouldn’t even be close to nahida’s power level if he has good aoe dendro app cause he doesn’t have 1) nahida’s damage 2) battery potential 3) buff potency 4) nahida’s range 5) ease of application. if kokomi can be a healer with good aoe app why cant baizhu? the whole point of dendro is to enable reactions so it’s perplexing to me that a 5 star dendro support has st dendro app. imo they’re too afraid of powercreeping to the point characters are released without achievinf their deserved, balanced potential.
Just used him in the current abyss 12 with Nilou, Nahida and Mona as bloom driver and it was such a breeze. His healing and shield which help with resisting interruption really help a lot
Wait.. are you telling me I can 36* Abyss with Nahida and Nilou?! Stop the press!!! Hoyoverse has zero history of making Abyss cycles compatible with character releases
@@thomasdawe1837 they do have a history of that. Kokomi had rift hounds and during that time it was the healer meta. Itto had abyss buffs that’s catered to def oriented plays.
@@Kiraashi i thought baizhu’s shield has interruption resistance? Even if Cyno is injured baizhu’s shield will heal him anyway. Either way, baizhu’s burst is gonna be one of cyno’s best supports since he solves nahida’s problem of multiple waves of small enemies cause you need to swap out of Cyno burst to apply nahida skill
8:12 Coming from a Nilou bloom player, you do not need the extra dendro application from Yaoyao, so it doesn't matter if she's better at applying Dendro. Nahida's skill procs along with bloom explosions will reapply enough Dendro, and the occasional Baizhu Dendro injection is all you need to get the train rolling again since bloom bursts will supply you with the Dendro afterwards. Unless you're driving with Yaoyao (building EM), you have to waste time healing with Yaoyao since her burst requires field time, and if you build EM she won't be a great healer anyways. Baizhu opens up the possibility of replacing Kokomi with another hydro driver (literally any fast Hydro applicator) or using Nahida on field + Yelan/XQ. You no longer need Kokomi as a driver, especially since building her EM made her healing fairly weak anyways. It wasn't that you can't clear Abyss 12 with the regular Nilou/Nahida team before, but Baizhu opens up a lot more possibility and makes it a lot easier, saving you more time on the other side if you're struggling with a certain side. Baizhu works best with another Dendro. Pairing him with Tighnari/Nahida has made him feel extremely helpful in providing teams that previously didn't have room for shields the ability to gain interruption resistance. He's not a character you can slot into any team that you want, but he fits extremely well into the ones that can use him. Roll him if you have a place for him, you won't regret it.
What i learn from this is that Hes good if you have cyno Hes a dendro healer not a shielder, the shield is for interuption resistance Hes f2p friendly If you like his character by all means go for it else i wouldnt recommend unless you use nahida as an on-field dps or a cyno
beidou is much better option for cyno, baizhu sucks. Beidou does everything baizhu can but better and buffs cyno and gives electro resonance. Use nahida instead.
@@fenrirtheashenwolf7627 No they’re not. They both provide interruption resistance but the chances of you dying are still a high possibility. Try using them both with Cyno against first floor beasts in the abyss and say that again.
I think everyone just forgets tighnari exists and would probably be very good with spread reactions with baizhu since tighnari is also a very strong single target dps
Even if I still have to skip him for now, since I have other units in mind, I wouldn't be surprised that baizhu will be a staple for dendro survivability. Like shenhe would be a support for cryo teams, baibai and nahida would become drivers for dendro reaction teams
I think so toom I'm like that too. Baizhu has flaw... He is like dendro Kokomi and i got him by accident. I think u will understand nahida is way better. And baizhu will be important to hyperbloom. He works well. I dont hate him and i love him. Its just his kit is sad for me. He deserve better kit
Yeah but I dont really see much potential for him. Considering what makes dendro broken, he just doesnt apply dendro well enough. If only his ult sheild regenerated faster and had an aoe instead of an ST hit.
Im actually really glad that i got baizhu because good healer and for me he worked well with alhaitham who needs to be on field. I also cleared floor 12 for first time, First team baizhu, alhaitham,raiden xingqiu/2nd zhongli, nahida ayato,kuki
I love Baizhu so much. I use him in hyperbloom with Lisa(Using Nahida's weapon), Dendro MC and Xinqiu and my Lisa hits more than 30k per hyperbloom. Plus, his passive where you get healed when harvesting things in the wild is kinda nice when you suck at the game like i do :')
I'm interested in pulling for Baizhu from a gameplay perspective, but I might wait till reviewers do it. He's interesting to me as he is a shielder and a healer as well. Not many characters are like that besides Diona, Noelle, and C4 Yanfei with Prototype Amber.
I know many peoplet more likely think Baizhu is made to be paired to Cyno, but I actually think Baizhu is for Al Haitham spread reaction damage DPS team. Al Haitham, Baizhu, then put 1 electro subdps/applier, then you have 1 slot free for any other character.
yeah he is really good with onfield driver like alhaitham and cyno with long field time. One of the biggest advantage he has over nahida is you doesn't need to reapply drendro between waves but still has solid buff, interuption res, heal. But he's very energy-hungry so it's better off running him on er sand and fav codex.
@@Aliens1337 Not an upgrade, because his Dendro app and AOE is worse. And Nilou really really needs those things. Of course, Yaoyao needs to be onfield, but you can just use DMC/Collei for offield. But he's a good option for sure.
if his whole kit had focused on the idea of attacking pressure points he would have been amazing too a new take on the martial artists mages but he hits like a wet noodle so...the killer is dead
What I hope they did with the ultimate is that, whenever it refreshes it also seeks out enemies like the E skill so in that way it kinda has AoE but Hoyoverse runs out of brain juice I guessed
I found he actually works fairly well on A Tighnari Aggravate team as your second dendro unit Deepwood holder and buffer. Tighnari is prone to getting interrupted despite his quick shot playstyle and the interruption resistance Baizhu offers is very valuable. It may not be worth kicking Nahida from your team but if you're like me and don't have or want her (clunky on my set up,) he ends up being a good alternative for that second dendro slot.
I also understand Heizou has an insane punching animation as catalyst user but man Baizhu throwing his hands cannot even reach any enemy unless youre super close. He is like the shortest catalyst chiropractor.
Just like others, I'm thinking of putting him in Cyno team comp. Running with Hyperbloom team with Nahida and XQ, my last slot was either ZL or Kuki. I really prefer Kuki for consistent healing and Electro reso but he's soooo easy to interrupt so I ended up with ZL and here I was thinking Baizhu might solve the problem but I guess really not. Now I'm even more confused. 😓
hmm… i feel like this is another kuki syndrome case where his role is for future playstyle/characters yet to be introduced, very much could be a fontaine team thing coming soon
Tbh I don't see why people consider him useless rn, ig it's bc he doesn't apply as much dendro as the dendro archon. I remember what happened in 1.6. I was literally kazuha doomposting (not literally) as soon as I saw his kit. Sucrose but worse- less aoe, lower dmg buff, no point in using him. Dogsh8t character. Seemingly at least half the community agreed. Played his demo once, insta copped regardless of skill. I shit you not, that very day was the first day I got 36*s. Got him to level 70 6/7/7 talents with a level 70 iron sting and managed to still get 36 stars. I'll do the same for baizhu mainly bc there are currently only 2 dendro healers. Kirara is a shielder but tbh I don't see her getting more value than baizhu due to her shield not being very strong (strong enough but definitely not zhongli level, like 1/2 of it) and her requiring onfield time to apply dendro. It will definitely work, but then again, her dmg isn't all that special. Her burst seems good tho, just that she probably won't be worth a slot bc you would be better off with nahida/alhaitham onfield, and for interruption resistance and more importantly heals and more importantly buffs, baizhu is better
@@ceritaminit6696 bro reruns are a thing, what makes sense in the present matters, objective facts being overturned in the future is not relevant now. Chrs cost hundreds of dollars, who wants to get chrs in the hopes it'll get good in months or years from now?
I know enough that 2% at 50,000HP doesn't directly translate into 100% damage. But it's shit that like that pisses me off. Mihoyo KNOWS that 99% of the player base doesn't realize those things, and will pull for Baizhu (spend real money) because they think they're Hyperbloom is going to go from 31K up to 62K.... with the way Mihoyo sneakily worded his passive. And Mihoyo does that A LOT.
Yeah sure bro, Hoyo definitely tricks the players and doesn’t offer someone with constant stagger immunity and healing with the rotational shields.. and plus it doesn’t even matter. People could do well with that brain dead reaction without baizhu.
I understand ur frustration but the damage buff is actually significant if u take into consideration how many times those reactions are being triggered, it adds up a lot
@@omeganoelf.6173 but when she came out people were genuinely p!ssed at her low damage (the whole crit rate shebang).. and generally hated on her for being a healer
@@kvdxx6603 No they don't. Theorycrafters already said Kokomi was good after the application buff before release but the public ignored it and shat on Kokomi for a year. They also said the exact same thing during her release that people know more about the game now after being wrong with every other character before.
as someone who used to use cyno and yoimiya in the 2 different abyss halfs which only one built shielder(zhongli), it was really hard to choose which team he should be in since both cyno and yoi needs resistance to interruption for best dmg output, with baizhu now, I think I’ll start to use cyno again in abyss👀
Im using Cyno, Baizu, XQ, and Dendro Traveler, Dendro Traveler is being used for the constant dendro ticks with Baizu supplying extra plus interupt resistance and heals. Though Nahida is good her dendro application is semi useless with cyno during his burst faze if new targets spawn or come within range.
7:25 he stills gets interrupted by ennemies, I really hoped his shield would prevent this even if it meant taking residual damages. A skip for me sadly :(
No, it just refreshes once every 3 seconds and it was broken by first hit, because this shield is paper thin and absorbing less damage than crystalize shield, so with very next hit Baizhu was interrupted. But the point is right, shield refresh rate is too low to be reliable sourse of resistance to interruption, even Thoma's shield refreshing every 1 second
"...but thanks to chad Baizhu I felt invincible!" Got a good chuckle out of me. I'm very curious to try out Baizhu, I'll be doing some pulls in his banner to try for Kaveh, at least, but otherwise I intend to save for Fontaine. My Cyno weeps at my (likely) lack of Baizhu.
@@lr560 as of now he's lvl 52 so what I did was Zhongli(semi dps, homa), Yelan (main, fav), Baizhu(lvl 52 so I need zhongli hahaha), then Keqing(4pc thundering fury, umbrella sword). This is straight up random bullshit damage go 🤣 but at least they work 🤣
1:44 I don't know if it's just me but I don't think the Hilichurl actually destroyed the shield but rather, the shield destroyed itself exactly before the Hilichurl shot. That's why you took dmg. If you try to get shot without the shield, the dmg would probably be the same
@@aeshRz well, I haven't really bothered to check so whether or not it does doesn't really matter much. Either way, Baizhu would heal up that dmg anyway
I honestly feel Baizhu is not so much of an improvement over Yaoyao, apart from Cyno teams. If Hoyo gave him some AoE he could have at least been able to hold the Deepwood set but given his single target stance I don't think he reliably can. Baizhu should be the support to help teams build up, but he has so many flaws that it feels he needs support to function, so it's kinda not worth it: short range AA, no AoE, not a great deepwood holder, mid buffer. Honestly I will just throw a 10 pull and try to get Kaveh but Baizhu is really not worth it at the moment and we just had Nahida running which is overall a better pick over him.
@@kirin1230 oh don't get me wrong, I really like his model and his character but his kit is lackluster for a 5 star in my opinion. I would have been happy with him if the projectiles of his burst were bouncing between the enemies like his skill does: a better AoE was all he needed to be a bit more viable.
Baizhu is more to al haithan (spread team) than cyno team. Al haitham just need 1 sub-dps applier and free 1 party slot. In cyno team, baizhu having hard time to get his energy for burst.
I like how I can switch out my previously permanent Zhongli from teams and get Dendro or Electro resonance as a bonus. Also great for my Nilou team (Nahida already does all the Dendro application I'd ever need)
Thanks for this! I was torn between going for him and Ganyu (again) but I dont have Cyno (yet?) and my Yaoyao is level 90, so this helped me make my decision
I like Baizhu, however I just don’t like when characters have no AoE 🤷🏻♀️ Still going to pull for him, I find Yaoyao a bit stressfull because I don’t know if she’s healing me or applying dendro to the enmey
what about Nilou Candance Nahida Baizhu? Candance full Elemental mastery with Dragons Bane is a force to be reckon with, and that team needs a dendro healer, it can work with Nahida with Prototype and dendro MC or Kolei but some of the new enemies in the Abyss hit really hard. I really don't know how good can Yao Yao be in this team if you want to go with Candance instead of kokomi as the other Hydro unit in this Nilou team.
im confused on people saying it wouldn't. to my knowledge, crystalize sets them off, even if theyre broken and the damage goes through. idk why it would work the same for baizhu
Does baizhu go well with alhaitham guys 😭 I just missed nahida in her banner and i couldn’t decide if i should get baizhu to cover up her spot in my quicken team
As an f2p i restarted playing genshin again and got some pirogems(how tf did i forget the most important thing)then i bought 10 intertwined fate and spinned than to my surprise,i got my second five star, and I'm here cus i don't wanna read all that skill description
Just got him when i was trying to get Kaveh with a few single pulls (didnt have guaranteed so it doesnt make a huge difference but in no way will i be getting Kazuha too now...) Well at least my Cyno will have a new best buddy...after i just built Kuki to help him. My team is Cyno, Yelan, Nahida and Kuki and honestly ill still probably use Kuki in the open world as her hyperbloom procs are just great; but im sure Baizhu will be helpful in harder content especially because of the shield while im using Cyno's burst. I was not getting anymore EM artifacts lately so im glad that i have some use for the hp leftovers.
It should be mentioned that in the cyno xingqui nahida Baizhu team, cyno should be on 4pc TF as it gives both more energy for cyno’s burst and higher dmg output, resolving all energy issues on the team
I wanted Fischl since everyone hype her so much for every team that needs electro application. Didn't want to pull for this banner since I'm F2P, but I did. 2 wished and I got her. I was super psyched so I said: WTH let's do a 10 wish.. And I got Baizhu and Kaveh. Since neither of those 3 characters need constellations, I will not pull anymore. I NEED Kokomi and Kazuha. What's weird is having a 5* that's support... I don't have Nahida since I wanted these 2 other characters better.
@gachagamer can I use Baizhu in a Raiden hypercarry aggravate team I have in mind? Raiden(catch) - Baizhu(ttds) - Susrose(ttds) - Fischl? Will he work at that team to buff Raiden?
I think I'll stick with Yaoyao, especially for my aggravate team. His 15% increase for hyperbloom is nice but I don't think it's enough to tip the scales in favour of choosing Baizhu over other options in a typical hyperbloom team.
not gonna happen. Hydro is the only element with characters like that and I guess it has to do with the way Hoyo want reactions to work. Imagine how broken that would be + xingqiu/yelan on an electro driver
@@morax5015 that will never happen Brodie. Even you know it. Only archons and xingqiu can do that rn out of the roster, so it probably will never happen in the future
@@eventhoughimaloserandavirg3279 i think people are misinterpreting what i want.. I basically want an off field dendro application something like yaoyao,xiangling xinqiu,yelan does with her their elements heck even the traveller,collei does some sort of off field dendro support I just want it to be longer as long as it can last long enough i dont care if its a 5 star i just want it to match Cyno's burst or at least be long enough for Cyno to do descent damage..
kokomi can barely damage, no crit, but with insane heals on skill and application. Meta. Bennet can barely damage, single target, but with good heals on burst and atk buff. Meta. Baizhu can barely damage, but with insane heals on both skill and burst, and dendro application and buff. Don't underestimate him, he's the type to make people eat their words just like Kokomi and Bennet.
I think he's really good at single chunky bosses that deal massive damage but other than that, easy skip. bonus: easy skip if you have nahida for dendro application and you don't have cyno and nilou so you don't need that interruption resistance/healing. before you ask, yes i can fully clear abyss.
Don't have Cyno and don't really play Quicken so he doesn't interest me all that much. Still wishing on this Banner for Kaveh (he'll slot nicely into my Nilou bloom as the driver). First time in ages c0 is playable for a 4*. Got him in my first 10 pull woo. Will probably keep wishing on the banner for constellations. Lol, I keep finding more reasons to try and R5 a second prototype amber. So I can run Freeze teams with Mona on one side and Nilou/Nahida teams the other

based off leaks he might the perfect healer for her
As someone who needed an upgrade from Yaoyao for my bloom team (sadly her healing is not enough), Baizhu is perfect
I found he actually works fairly well on A Tighnari Aggravate team as your second dendro unit Deepwood holder and buffer. Tighnari is prone to getting interrupted despite his quick shot playstyle and the interruption resistance Baizhu offers is very valuable. It may not be worth kicking Nahida from your team but if you're like me and don't have or want her (clunky on my set up,) he ends up being a good alternative for that second dendro slot.
Them: "use him for alhaitham or cyno"
Me: "eula hyperbloom it is"
I also understand Heizou has an insane punching animation as catalyst user but man Baizhu throwing his hands cannot even reach any enemy unless youre super close. He is like the shortest catalyst chiropractor.
Dude forget baizhu, kaveh at c6 is bonkers. He becomes basically nilou double dendro double hydro team without any restrictions
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH he's such a great addition to my team
Just like others, I'm thinking of putting him in Cyno team comp. Running with Hyperbloom team with Nahida and XQ, my last slot was either ZL or Kuki. I really prefer Kuki for consistent healing and Electro reso but he's soooo easy to interrupt so I ended up with ZL and here I was thinking Baizhu might solve the problem but I guess really not. Now I'm even more confused. 😓
So does baizhu worth to pull if I have cyno?
i find it funny he's doing a pressure point attack on a robot.
As soon as I saw his kit Cyno was the only reason I could think of to pull him.
9:32 I gasped so frickin hard no wayyyyyyyyyy
Love the honesty!!!
hmm… i feel like this is another kuki syndrome case where his role is for future playstyle/characters yet to be introduced, very much could be a fontaine team thing coming soon
Something they need to stop doing, it makes people think characters suck even if those eventual fixes come out
@@thecreativeducky5781
Honestly I like what they are doing, because I like to watch some player lick back their spit xD
Tbh I don't see why people consider him useless rn, ig it's bc he doesn't apply as much dendro as the dendro archon.
I remember what happened in 1.6. I was literally kazuha doomposting (not literally) as soon as I saw his kit. Sucrose but worse- less aoe, lower dmg buff, no point in using him. Dogsh8t character. Seemingly at least half the community agreed. Played his demo once, insta copped regardless of skill. I shit you not, that very day was the first day I got 36*s. Got him to level 70 6/7/7 talents with a level 70 iron sting and managed to still get 36 stars. I'll do the same for baizhu mainly bc there are currently only 2 dendro healers. Kirara is a shielder but tbh I don't see her getting more value than baizhu due to her shield not being very strong (strong enough but definitely not zhongli level, like 1/2 of it) and her requiring onfield time to apply dendro. It will definitely work, but then again, her dmg isn't all that special. Her burst seems good tho, just that she probably won't be worth a slot bc you would be better off with nahida/alhaitham onfield, and for interruption resistance and more importantly heals and more importantly buffs, baizhu is better
@@ceritaminit6696 bro reruns are a thing, what makes sense in the present matters, objective facts being overturned in the future is not relevant now. Chrs cost hundreds of dollars, who wants to get chrs in the hopes it'll get good in months or years from now?
@@runimcomingforyou.4505
Thats up to the players, I mean we are given option to choose.
Great video, thanks!
I’m here incase I get him on my hunt for Kaveh
He's out, wow! I still play Genshin everyday but had absolutely forgot about him
I know enough that 2% at 50,000HP doesn't directly translate into 100% damage.
But it's shit that like that pisses me off. Mihoyo KNOWS that 99% of the player base doesn't realize those things, and will pull for Baizhu (spend real money) because they think they're Hyperbloom is going to go from 31K up to 62K.... with the way Mihoyo sneakily worded his passive. And Mihoyo does that A LOT.
Yeah sure bro, Hoyo definitely tricks the players and doesn’t offer someone with constant stagger immunity and healing with the rotational shields.. and plus it doesn’t even matter. People could do well with that brain dead reaction without baizhu.
I understand ur frustration but the damage buff is actually significant if u take into consideration how many times those reactions are being triggered, it adds up a lot
"his damage is low" well yeah. he's a healer, not a dps😭 people said the same about kokomi first but look how useful she is
kokomi got good because she hast top tier hydro application
@@omeganoelf.6173 but when she came out people were genuinely p!ssed at her low damage (the whole crit rate shebang).. and generally hated on her for being a healer
@@skit4950 people know more about the game now, leaks exist, theorycrafters calc etc. not a fair comparison
@@kvdxx6603 and? that doesn't change the fact that people still expect healers to do a ton of damage when that has never been the case,,
@@kvdxx6603 No they don't. Theorycrafters already said Kokomi was good after the application buff before release but the public ignored it and shat on Kokomi for a year. They also said the exact same thing during her release that people know more about the game now after being wrong with every other character before.
as someone who used to use cyno and yoimiya in the 2 different abyss halfs which only one built shielder(zhongli), it was really hard to choose which team he should be in since both cyno and yoi needs resistance to interruption for best dmg output, with baizhu now, I think I’ll start to use cyno again in abyss👀
Baizhu is a comfort pick. Nahida XQ Beidou is his best team.
*Wait He's Out ??? Our Dude is Fast ASF*
Ya haha
ppl rly be surprised when cc's get early access to beta server and can schedule video upload 😮😮
Content creators get the new character early on the media server. They just can't release videos on them until the character releases tho.
Yeah he's fast, we waited for 2 years
He should be released in about 12 hours I think?
4:49 What? I never knew you could enter here.
Im using Cyno, Baizu, XQ, and Dendro Traveler, Dendro Traveler is being used for the constant dendro ticks with Baizu supplying extra plus interupt resistance and heals. Though Nahida is good her dendro application is semi useless with cyno during his burst faze if new targets spawn or come within range.
7:25 he stills gets interrupted by ennemies, I really hoped his shield would prevent this even if it meant taking residual damages. A skip for me sadly :(
No, it just refreshes once every 3 seconds and it was broken by first hit, because this shield is paper thin and absorbing less damage than crystalize shield, so with very next hit Baizhu was interrupted. But the point is right, shield refresh rate is too low to be reliable sourse of resistance to interruption, even Thoma's shield refreshing every 1 second
Might as well get yourself a dedicated shielder. He is mainly a healer + interruption resistance.
"...but thanks to chad Baizhu I felt invincible!" Got a good chuckle out of me. I'm very curious to try out Baizhu, I'll be doing some pulls in his banner to try for Kaveh, at least, but otherwise I intend to save for Fontaine.
My Cyno weeps at my (likely) lack of Baizhu.
it's good to mention he will be great for on-field electros, like Keqin, Cyno, Alheitham, and Lisa
alhaitham is not an electro character
I'm using him in Keqing hyperbloom and he's really good (for me)
me too! what's your team?
@@lr560 as of now he's lvl 52 so what I did was Zhongli(semi dps, homa), Yelan (main, fav), Baizhu(lvl 52 so I need zhongli hahaha), then Keqing(4pc thundering fury, umbrella sword). This is straight up random bullshit damage go 🤣 but at least they work 🤣
I'm just glad he's finally playable.
1:44 I don't know if it's just me but I don't think the Hilichurl actually destroyed the shield but rather, the shield destroyed itself exactly before the Hilichurl shot. That's why you took dmg. If you try to get shot without the shield, the dmg would probably be the same
world level 8 hilichurls do NOT do 278 damage per arrow
@@aeshRz well, I haven't really bothered to check so whether or not it does doesn't really matter much. Either way, Baizhu would heal up that dmg anyway
yeah, I'm just commenting for clarification that the shield really is that weak and serves more as interruption resist more than a shield :)
4:50 wait a minute I didn't know could go in there!
I honestly feel Baizhu is not so much of an improvement over Yaoyao, apart from Cyno teams. If Hoyo gave him some AoE he could have at least been able to hold the Deepwood set but given his single target stance I don't think he reliably can. Baizhu should be the support to help teams build up, but he has so many flaws that it feels he needs support to function, so it's kinda not worth it: short range AA, no AoE, not a great deepwood holder, mid buffer. Honestly I will just throw a 10 pull and try to get Kaveh but Baizhu is really not worth it at the moment and we just had Nahida running which is overall a better pick over him.
Same, C1 yaoyao sidegrade unless you have Cyno and want to hyperinvest in him.
SAMEEE I FEEL YOU. I HAD THOUGHT THE SAME I CAN'T BELIEVE. He really has many flaws.
Fr I love everything about him except his kit... I just don't need it
@@kirin1230 oh don't get me wrong, I really like his model and his character but his kit is lackluster for a 5 star in my opinion. I would have been happy with him if the projectiles of his burst were bouncing between the enemies like his skill does: a better AoE was all he needed to be a bit more viable.
Baizhu is more to al haithan (spread team) than cyno team. Al haitham just need 1 sub-dps applier and free 1 party slot. In cyno team, baizhu having hard time to get his energy for burst.
Just did some wishes and got nilou c1 6 wishes after Al-haitham I'm so happy ♡♡
I like how I can switch out my previously permanent Zhongli from teams and get Dendro or Electro resonance as a bonus. Also great for my Nilou team (Nahida already does all the Dendro application I'd ever need)
I kinda want him to replace Yao Yao in Keqing aggravate. So I can have KQ, Fish, him, and Kazuha, but now I’m not sure anymore lol
I've seen some runs... It's kind disappointing with this team. Such a big investment (over Yao Yao) for too little difference.
Was about to say I can finally give zonghli a break from his shield😢
Hi love the video , will you be doing a constellation roundup for him ? , really want to know if his third one is worth it or not , thanks .
great vid thanks
Thanks for this! I was torn between going for him and Ganyu (again) but I dont have Cyno (yet?) and my Yaoyao is level 90, so this helped me make my decision
I like Baizhu, however I just don’t like when characters have no AoE 🤷🏻♀️
Still going to pull for him, I find Yaoyao a bit stressfull because I don’t know if she’s healing me or applying dendro to the enmey
what about Nilou Candance Nahida Baizhu?
Candance full Elemental mastery with Dragons Bane is a force to be reckon with, and that team needs a dendro healer, it can work with Nahida with Prototype and dendro MC or Kolei but some of the new enemies in the Abyss hit really hard.
I really don't know how good can Yao Yao be in this team if you want to go with Candance instead of kokomi as the other Hydro unit in this Nilou team.
Just a few more hours, and my husbando collection will be full again
will wait for the DPS baizhu! hahaha I really wanted dps baizhu :
Star rail universe lvl 5 got me for hours. Thanks
I already achieved my dream, and I am now waiting for raiden reruns
Hey do when übt Ionen the shield w full hp build, I think you also need elemental mastery for shieldsss?? Maybe just for some but idk
Why have I only just noticed that that Pharmacy has a back door
have you tested baizhu's shield against kha'enrian knights? wondering if it would trigger their antishield gimmicks
Apparently his shield doesn't trigger it
@@quilluxe481 they that pop his shield? or autopop?
@@AMWmyu00 his shield doesn't trigger the husks' antishield thing, since his shield doesn't absorb all of its dmg
im confused on people saying it wouldn't. to my knowledge, crystalize sets them off, even if theyre broken and the damage goes through. idk why it would work the same for baizhu
@@silverYolo idk either and it's why I said apparently, I remember someone said his shield doesn't trigger the husks' thing
Now I'm more convinced that he's made specifically for Cyno...
Does baizhu go well with alhaitham guys 😭 I just missed nahida in her banner and i couldn’t decide if i should get baizhu to cover up her spot in my quicken team
As an f2p i restarted playing genshin again and got some pirogems(how tf did i forget the most important thing)then i bought 10 intertwined fate and spinned than to my surprise,i got my second five star, and I'm here cus i don't wanna read all that skill description
Baizhu help me to full stars spiral abyss with team bloom to kill 3 magu kenki
Just got him when i was trying to get Kaveh with a few single pulls (didnt have guaranteed so it doesnt make a huge difference but in no way will i be getting Kazuha too now...) Well at least my Cyno will have a new best buddy...after i just built Kuki to help him. My team is Cyno, Yelan, Nahida and Kuki and honestly ill still probably use Kuki in the open world as her hyperbloom procs are just great; but im sure Baizhu will be helpful in harder content especially because of the shield while im using Cyno's burst. I was not getting anymore EM artifacts lately so im glad that i have some use for the hp leftovers.
It should be mentioned that in the cyno xingqui nahida Baizhu team, cyno should be on 4pc TF as it gives both more energy for cyno’s burst and higher dmg output, resolving all energy issues on the team
2:16 why gorou?😅
PLEASE do a dps baizhu build vid
Specifically I wonder if moonglow would work especially with c6 tho that’s a damn fever dream to get.
He already did a DPS build... He deals less than half of what cyno does without any buffs
@@gatex33d74 isnt he a healer?
@@Yami-mugoni613 a healer without any other use than being a healer? thats not a good thing lol
I wanted Fischl since everyone hype her so much for every team that needs electro application. Didn't want to pull for this banner since I'm F2P, but I did.
2 wished and I got her. I was super psyched so I said: WTH let's do a 10 wish.. And I got Baizhu and Kaveh. Since neither of those 3 characters need constellations, I will not pull anymore. I NEED Kokomi and Kazuha.
What's weird is having a 5* that's support... I don't have Nahida since I wanted these 2 other characters better.
@gachagamer can I use Baizhu in a Raiden hypercarry aggravate team I have in mind?
Raiden(catch) - Baizhu(ttds) - Susrose(ttds) - Fischl?
Will he work at that team to buff Raiden?
I think I'll stick with Yaoyao, especially for my aggravate team. His 15% increase for hyperbloom is nice but I don't think it's enough to tip the scales in favour of choosing Baizhu over other options in a typical hyperbloom team.
Bruh ive been playing so much Honkai I've forgotten to use my resin and do my dailies 💀
So is this the Cyno buff I've been waiting for?
I really want a dendro yelan for my Cyno. I thought Baizhu would be that guy lol
not gonna happen. Hydro is the only element with characters like that and I guess it has to do with the way Hoyo want reactions to work.
Imagine how broken that would be + xingqiu/yelan on an electro driver
@@escapetherace1943 we will see..I just want someone who I can use besides Nahida and who can last as long as Cyno's Burst duration in the Abyss
@@morax5015 that will never happen Brodie. Even you know it. Only archons and xingqiu can do that rn out of the roster, so it probably will never happen in the future
@@eventhoughimaloserandavirg3279 i think people are misinterpreting what i want.. I basically want an off field dendro application something like yaoyao,xiangling xinqiu,yelan does with her their elements heck even the traveller,collei does some sort of off field dendro support I just want it to be longer as long as it can last long enough i dont care if its a 5 star i just want it to match Cyno's burst or at least be long enough for Cyno to do descent damage..
My c1 Cyno so happy. Got c1Baizhu for him.😊
I expected him to summon a giant white snake that shoot a poisonous hyperbeam on ennemies
😮💨
i will never come back to this game. the gacha rate is crazy
kokomi can barely damage, no crit, but with insane heals on skill and application. Meta.
Bennet can barely damage, single target, but with good heals on burst and atk buff. Meta.
Baizhu can barely damage, but with insane heals on both skill and burst, and dendro application and buff. Don't underestimate him, he's the type to make people eat their words just like Kokomi and Bennet.
I think he's really good at single chunky bosses that deal massive damage but other than that, easy skip.
bonus: easy skip if you have nahida for dendro application and you don't have cyno and nilou so you don't need that interruption resistance/healing.
before you ask, yes i can fully clear abyss.
I'm thinkinga a lot lately to play with dendro and thinkinga bout get baizhu for my future Nilou, does thay work well together?
Please make a video about Kaveh's kit and how well he would perform
Don't have Cyno and don't really play Quicken so he doesn't interest me all that much. Still wishing on this Banner for Kaveh (he'll slot nicely into my Nilou bloom as the driver). First time in ages c0 is playable for a 4*. Got him in my first 10 pull woo. Will probably keep wishing on the banner for constellations. Lol, I keep finding more reasons to try and R5 a second prototype amber. So I can run Freeze teams with Mona on one side and Nilou/Nahida teams the other
Don't wanna be that guy but are the footage at 3:40 flipped or?
Do you think tenacity of the millelith could work on baizhu or the other sets you mentioned would be better?
No millelith will not work
It works but not optimal
Im gonna use him in my Nilou bloom team cos his interruption resistance will be very useful for my Nahida who’s usually knocked liked a rag doll lmao
