The order of leveling talents

Elemental Burst (Q) > Elemental Skill (E) > Normal Attacks (optional).

Bai Zhu is a support or sub-DD who is able to protect the team, as well as deal damage with skills. He does not need regular attacks, so they can not be downloaded or, if necessary, left at level 6. Elemental skill and ult should be evenly raised to lvl 6. Further, the leveling of Bai Zhu's skills is as follows:

1. elemental explosion — the main source of shields and healing, the level of which determines the power of the functions performed. If Bai Zhu is supposed to increase the survivability of the squad, this ability should be paid the most attention to.
2. Elemental Skill — used to heal the active character if the ult has not been restored, and also to pump up energy. Has a long cooldown, but restores a lot of health.
3. Normal attacks — are not used in the game as a support, so you don’t need to upgrade them or waste extra resources.

Passive skills

Bai Zhu's Passive Abilities:

Note that the buff from the passive ability “Everything is born of the earth” does not take into account the elemental mastery indicator, and, as a rule, the actual increase in damage numbers is 15-30%.

How to play Bai Zhu

Bai Zhu is a specialized character designed to heal and protect the squad, as well as to distribute status and activate buffs. He can be used as a full-fledged support (shield healer) or as a sub-DD:

In the role sub-dd rotation similar to support, but with some changes:

In this regard, Bai Zhu's signature weapon makes playing for him much easier, not forcing him to choose between damage and a shield.
Prototype: Amber ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 HP: 9%-41,3%	Within 6 sec. cooldown after using elemental explosion 4-6 units energy every 2 seconds, and all members of the squad replenish 4%-6% HP every 2 sec.	The best 4 ⭐ option for Bai Zhu. Gives a lot of HP, and also restores energy to itself and health to party members. In addition, it is a craftable weapon, which makes it easier to obtain.
Dragon Slayer Epic ⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 39-401 HP: 7,7%-35,2%	When switching a character, it increases the attack power of the character that entered the battlefield by 24%-48% within 10 sec.

Eternal moonlight ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 46-608 HP: 10.8%-49.6%	Increases healing bonus by 10%-20%, and also increases normal attack damage by 1%-3% from max. The HP of the character equipped with this weapon. Within 12 sec. after using the explosion of the elements, hits with a normal attack on the enemy restore 0.6 units. energy. Energy can be restored no more than once every 0,1 seconds.	A good option to boost Bai Zhu's healing. It should be borne in mind that in order to restore energy, it is necessary to use normal attacks.
Codex Favonia ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Energy recovery: 10%-45,9%	Critical attacks have 60%-100%Chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 health. energy. Occurs once per 12-6 sec.

For each Hydro character, HP is increased by an additional 12%-24%. The maximum health can only be raised by 24%-48%. The effect can occur once every 15 sec.	The energy regeneration will help Bai Zhu gain his ult faster. To fully utilize the catalyst passive, there must be at least one Hydro character in the team to increase HP, and Bai Zhu must also use an elemental skill before activating the ult so that the health buff increases the healing power and shield strength.
Ring of Hakushin ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Energy recovery: 6,7%-30,6%	When a character equipped with this weapon causes an Electro element reaction, all nearby party members whose element matches this reaction receive 10%-20% bonus damage to own element for 6 sec. Elemental damage bonuses gained this way do not stack.	A craftable catalyst that is easy to obtain even for beginners.

He gets a nice HP boost for healing and shields, and some elemental mastery to help with reactions.
Ring of Jašce ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 HP: 9%-41.3%	After using E-shki, it gives the effect of Jade Crown: the damage of normal attacks increases by 0.6%-1% for every 1000 HP of the character for 10 sec. Thus, the damage of normal attacks can be increased by 16%-32%.	Since Bai Zhu barely uses normal attacks, he doesn't need the catalyst passive. However, this weapon is craftable, making it easy to get if the hero doesn't have enough HP.
Ash Horn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 HP: 9%-41.3%	When hitting an enemy, it deals area damage equal to 40%-80% from max HP. The effect can occur once every 15 sec.

To compensate for the lack of a buff from Nahida, it is advisable to hang a set on Collei or Dendro Traveler Instructor.
Cyno Keqing	Nahida Dendro GG	Bai Zhu	Fischl	Detachment with Electro main-dd through Escalation. The combination of Dendro and Electro resonances will significantly strengthen all characters and eliminate energy problems for the ultimate set.
Clorinda	Furina	Bai Zhu	Nahida Albedo	The party through Vegetation. The main damage is done by Clorinda, to whom Bai Zhu not only gives Dendro status, but also helps to gain Life Debt. Furina casts Hydro and summons Buds, strengthening the party. The last slot can be used to put a character buffing elemental mastery, from which you can choose Nahida or Albedo.
Barbara	Xiangling	Collei	Bai Zhu	F2P squad for beginners, consisting entirely of free characters. In this team, it is best to keep Barbara as an active hero and constantly attack with her so that there is enough Hydro status to create cores. Bai Zhu in this squad can be assembled into a hybrid build or a damage build, since Barbara will already provide the heal.

Сonclusion

Bai Zhu is a very handy character, able to cover the needs of Dendro teams in a healer and a shield. He is a comfortable hero that will suit even beginners, as he is easy to assemble and does not require much investment. For the support role, he only needs to collect HP, which greatly simplifies the build, since there are a lot of catalysts with this characteristic in the game, and it is also easy to get artifacts.

However, it is worth noting that for players who do not use Dendro units, Bai Zhu will not be a particularly useful acquisition. He is indispensable in his role as a support for the team's Dendro, but by himself as a shielder or healer, he is not strong enough to spin him only for the sake of these functions.

What is better for Bai Zhu: Signa or S1

To determine what is more profitable to obtain, the signature cone "The Splendor of the Azure Vault" or the first constellation, it is necessary to determine for what purposes Bai Zhu was minted, and whether there are alternative weapons:

• C1 grants an additional charge of the elemental skill, allowing it to be pressed twice. This increases the overall healing of the party, and also slightly speeds up the build-up of Bai Zhu's elemental explosion.
• Signature Catalyst significantly increases HP, which directly affects shield strength and healing power. The weapon also helps restore energy and increases the wearer's elemental damage, allowing Bai Zhu to use the ult more often and deal damage even in a shield healer build.

Thus, if Bai Zhu is used only as a healer, you can stop at the first constellation. If one of his functions is to deal Dendro damage to enemies and create elemental effects for reactions, then it is worth choosing the signature, since it will make it easier to gain stats in artifacts and allow you to deal damage without losing support capabilities.
