This alternative Baizhu build focuses on pure healing. Equipping HP stats with Ocean-Hued Clam can also provide some off-field DMG. You can also substitute with Noblesse Oblige if you don't necessarily need the benefits of overheal, especially if your party isn't Dendro-centric.

As a Main DPS, Baizhu can build for the Spread reaction if you wish to build him as a carry, especially since he has 100% uptime on his Dendro as a Catalyst user. Note that opting for Main DPS is only decent in Single Target as his range is as short as a melee user.

Baizhu Best Team Comps

Baizhu excels in team safety with his heals and shields, which is perfect for teams whose Main DPS rely on such defense like Cyno and Alhaitham. He's also a good all-rounder for Spread, Aggravate, Burgeon and Hyperbloom team comps as a comfort pick.

Baizhu Hyperbloom Teams

Support	Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Baizhu	Cyno	Nahida	Yelan
Baizhu	Alhaitham	Raiden	Furina
Baizhu	Ayato	Shinobu	Nahida
Baizhu	Kaveh	Shinobu	Xingqiu

This Baizhu team is focused on triggering Hyperbloom to buff the reaction while off-field. We recommend bringing a second dendro to get resonance for the Elemental Mastery buff. Some of teams above can also combine Quicken to add damage.

Baizhu Aggravate/Spread Teams

Support	Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Baizhu	Alhaitham	Yae Miko	Fischl
Baizhu	Cyno	Nahida	Fischl
Baizhu	Alhaitham	Yae Miko	Nahida

Baizhu can replace Zhongli in Quicken teams, as well as cover a Dendro slot for you to add in another Electro or Dendro. Triple Dendro teams with Alhaitham and Nahida is also viable as long as you have an effective Electro applicator like Yae Miko.

Baizhu Burgeon Team

Support	Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Baizhu	Alhaitham	Thoma	Xingqiu
Xingqiu	Baizhu	Thoma	Yelan

Burgeon teams with Baizhu covers up the healing from the self-inflicted explosions as well as applying the Dendro while off-field. Baizhu can also act as a solo Dendro driver if he's the Main DPS in the party.

Baizhu in Nilou Bloom Teams

Support	Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS
Baizhu	Nahida	Nilou	Xingqiu
Baizhu	Alhaitham	Nilou	Yelan

This team focuses on the Spread reaction with Baizhu as the Main DPS. You can also opt for Normal Attack buffers like Yun Jin, or general buffers like Mona to help increase his personal DMG.

Baizhu Constellations

Lagenaria

Constellation and Effects

	Baizhu's Constellations
C1	Attentive Observation Universal Diagnosis gains 1 additional charge.
C2	Incisive Discernment When your own active character hits a nearby opponent with their attacks, Baizhu will unleash a Gossamer Sprite: Splice. Gossamer Sprite: Splice will initiate 1 attack before returning, dealing 250% of Baizhu's ATK as Dendro DMG and healing for 20% of Universal Diagnosis's Gossamer Sprite's normal healing. DMG dealt this way is considered Elemental Skill DMG. This effect can be triggered once every 5s.
C3	All Aspects Stabilized Increases the level of Holistic Revivification by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C4	Ancient Art of Perception For 15s after Holistic Revivification is used, Baizhu will increase all nearby party members' Elemental Mastery by 80.
C5	The Hidden Ebb and Flow Increases the Level of Universal Diagnosis by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
C6	Elimination of Malicious Qi Increases the DMG dealt by Holistic Revivification's Spiritveins by 8% of Baizhu's Max HP. Additionally, when a Gossamer Sprite or Gossamer Sprite: Splice hits opponents, there is a 100% chance of generating one of Holistic Revivification's Seamless Shields. This effect can only be triggered once by each Gossamer Sprite or Gossamer Sprite: Splice.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation

	Rating	Constellation Effect / Merits
C1	★★☆	• Adds 1 more Elemental Skill charge, reducing his Energy Recharge requirements.
C2	★★★	• Hitting an enemy with any character sends out Baizhu's minor version of his skill, which applies Dendro and heals allies for 20% of the skill's potency even without him expending any of his skills.
C6	★★★	• Increases DMG of the Burst's projectile attacks, and gives the active character a free shield in conjunction with his C2.

C2 and C6 are his best constellations

Baizhu's best constellations are at C2 and C6, which enables him to heal and create shields regularly even without his burst. These also enable Baizhu to constantly apply Dendro off-field.

However, Baizhu is already an excellent character at C0. All his constellations improve his efficiency as an off-field Support but are not required if you solely want him as your healer.

Thoughts About Baizhu

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Gaming	Working as a guard and doing Wushou Dancing means I have a pretty injury-prone lifestyle. Good thing is, Dr. Baizhu's medicine is always there to save the day. Seriously, it's like the one thing people should pack before going on a long journey or family vacation. My workmates at the Secure Transport Agency always get me to bring some back for them when I come to Liyue Harbor.
Hu Tao	Baizhu? Ugh, that guy...
Keqing	Everyone has faith in Dr. Baizhu's medical skills. He's the right guy to go to when you can't figure out what's wrong with you. Oh... the rumors, you say? The only one that I know for a fact is true is how disgusting his medicine tastes. It's not just the kids who find it bitter, it's left me with some horrible memories, too!
Qiqi	I can never remember Dr. Baizhu's face. But I don't mind.
Shenhe	The quality of his medicinal herbs is as good as it gets, he is also easy-going and considerate of others. By comparison, the little snake on his neck has no filter at all... Haha, don't worry, I didn't lift a finger against it, I won't go as far as getting into a quarrel with a snake.
Xiangling	I can smell Mist Flowers! It must be Dr. Baizhu! What is he doing here? Uh— Are you okay? Do you feel faint? Is your stomach sore? Or is it a sore throat? I've got it, you're fatigued from all that adventurin! No?... You're fine? Phew! Otherwise, he would have made you drink some traditional herbal medicine — it's so bitter!
Xiao	You want... Baizhu to make a medicine to take away my pain? I understand your intentions, but mortal medicine has no effect on adepti.
Xinyan	Dr. Baizhu's prescriptions are the tops at preserving my voice. I did an impromptu performance for him as thanks, but... the snake he keeps around his neck fainted away. Haha, now it ducks up Dr. Baizhu's sleeve every time I'm around. I only discovered afterwards that snakes are very sensitive to vibrations.
Yaoyao	Dr. Baizhu's prescriptions are pretty effective. They're bitter, that's for sure, but they always say that about medicine: "the bitter the better"! So I get it. Huh? Too bitter for you? Don't worry, I've got some Candied Dates here. One of these after you finish your medicine will take the taste away.

Baizhu's Thoughts About Others

Character	In-Game Thoughts
Gaming	About Gaming Gaming has quite a lot of scars and old injuries compared to other people his age. And every time he comes to see me, he always seems to have a new bruise here, and a new sprain there... sigh. No matter how many times I insist that he needs to be more careful, it always goes in one ear and out the other. All I can do is teach him some useful techniques for dressing and treating his wounds. I hope he finds them useful.
Ganyu	About Ganyu Those with the blood of the adepti have strong constitutions. Even when she is ill or injured, she does not require any medicine to recover. She isn't like your average mortal, who would be left with long-term residual issues if they did not receive medical treatment after a serious injury.
Hu Tao	About Hu Tao Different Approach: We have some differences in ideology, that's all. I don't harbor any ill-will toward Director Hu. If anything, I think she's more wary of me. Exhausting Encounters: Baizhu: If possible, I sincerely wish that Director Hu would be more sensible about her business practices. Changsheng: Oh, so you haven't forgotten about the time when she was disseminating flyers right outside of Bubu Pharmacy. Baizhu: I just wish that she wouldn't be so concerned about Qiqi whenever she has nothing better to do. Changsheng: Sounds like you have something against her... Baizhu: It's not that I take issue with Director Hu... It's just that every time she kidnaps Qiqi, I have to go all the way to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to get someone to sort it all out. It's... quite exhausting.
Keqing	About Keqing If I were to hazard a guess about her health from a face reading, I would presume the Yuheng's frequent looks of exhaustion are due to her long-time habits of burning the midnight oil and never giving her mind a rest. If she wishes to maintain her health, she should stop working and relax from time to time. Unfortunately, she is overly ambitious, and seems to be completely willing to trade her health for her career. Even if I were to tell her this myself, I'm afraid she would not listen to me.
Qiqi	About Qiqi Yes, you've guessed correctly. The preservation of a thread of "Qiqi's consciousness was in fact the work of the adepti. It's also thanks to Qiqi that I managed to come up with a way to save someone on the brink of death. Since the adepti took pity on this child and even used their arts to keep her on this side of existence, I thought I'd take the opportunity to keep her around the pharmacy. There's no harm in that, is there?
Tighnari	About Tighnari Ah, so you have an acquaintance from the Sumeru Akademiya? In that case, could I trouble you to introduce me to this Tighnari? I have many questions about herbal medicine that I would like to ask him.
Xiao	About Xiao Baizhu: Only the most magnanimous soul could labor to preserve life by slaying evil spirits. I was once fortunate enough to see the Conqueror of Demons with my own eyes. We even brought him back to the pharmacy to take care of him for a day. Unfortunately, I did not know his true identity at the time, and didn't even have a chance to speak with him before he left on his own. Changsheng: But you've seen him since then, haven't you? There's no reason to be upset. Baizhu: Yes, you're right.
Yaoyao	About Yaoyao Every time she comes to play with Qiqi, she complains about the taste of medicine and asks me if I have anything that isn't bitter. If the medicine will save someone's life, who cares how bitter it tastes, hmm?
Zhongli	About Zhongli Ah, Zhongli... Yes, I can tell he is very knowledgeable. He can carry a conversation even when discussing niche topics like ancient medicine. He must also have some habits and practices for himself when it comes to healthy living. The common headache or fever should pose no problem for him, so he doesn't need a prescription from me.
