Baizhu’s best five-star weapon is Jadefall’s Splendor, which is unsurprising as it’s his signature weapon. However, R5 Prototype Amber is much cheaper and often outperforms Jadefall’s Splendor. His best dendro support artifact set is Deepwood Memories and his best main healer set is Ocean-Hued Clam. All of Baizhu’s skills scale based on his HP, so make sure to build his HP, HP%, energy recharge, and elemental mastery.
When leveling up Baizhu’s talents, we recommend prioritizing his elemental burst first, then his elemental skill, followed by his normal attack. We also recommend getting Baizhu to level 90 to make the most of his kit.

How should I use Baizhu?
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 slots comfortably into many team comps, especially those that can benefit from dendro reactions.
Sadly, mono-dendro isn’t really a viable team comp, but you can certainly pair Baizhu with other dendro units like Genshin Impact’s Kaveh or Genshin Impact’s Alhaitham to trigger Sprawling Greenery and buff your team’s elemental mastery.
Both Baizhu’s elemental skill and elemental burst deal dendro damage to enemies while healing or protecting your team. Use his skill to apply dendro to enemies and heal nearby allies, then follow up with his burst to shield your active character and deal dendro damage when the shield breaks.
What are the best weapons for Baizhu?
As with most five-star characters, Baizhu has his own signature five-star catalyst called Jadefall’s Splendor, which Hoyo tailored specifically to his kit. It’s great for restoring energy when Baizhu uses his shield, scales off his max HP, and boosts off-field dendro damage in aggravate, bloom, or hyperbloom teams.
Of course, five-star weapons can be hard to get your hands on, so here are some alternatives. For a healing-focused build, 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 healer and dendro support roles due to its high HP and the attack buff it provides to your team.
