Is Bailu Worth It?

Since Bailu is an Abundance character, it is usually worth it to invest in her since you usually need healers in more difficult parts of the game. Bailu's heals are decent and her Talent lets her prevent an ally from being knocked down, which can come in clutch in dire situations.

However, what Bailu's kit lacks is a cleanse and her Skill's extra healing for allies is randomly targeted. Other healers like Lynx can cleanse debuffs, which is often vital for enemies that can inflict debuffs on your party.

If Bailu's your only healer or you need another healer for your second team, then she's a good character to invest in.

Sphere: HP%
Rope: Energy Regen or HP%
HP% ★★★
SPD ★★★
Effect RES ★★
HP ★

Bailu's build focuses on giving her HP% to make her heal stronger. The Messenger relic set gives her more SPD and also lets her buff her allies' SPD when using her Ultimate, which means more actions for both her and her allies.

Fleet of the Ageless provides her party with an ATK boost while also increasing her HP at the same time.

Recommended Stat Values

Stat Recommended Value
HP 5000 - 6000+
DEF 800 - 1200+
SPD 134 / 143 / 160

Bailu would want a lot of HP and DEF since she's a healer and her heals scale off HP. As for SPD, just hit the minimum 134 or higher if you need her to take more actions in a cycle.

Bailu's Gameplay Guide

Heal and Protect Allies

Honkai Star Rail - Bailu Close-Up

Bailu's kit provides plenty of healing, ensuring no ally falls in combat. She also scales off HP, making her fairly durable when built right.

Restore Ally HP with Skill

Honkai Star Rail - Bailu Skill

Bailu's Skill Singing Among Clouds heals a single ally and then bounces to two random allies including herself. Try to treat this as a single-target heal instead of relying on pure luck to heal multiple allies.

Invigorate Allies with Ultimate

Honkai Star Rail - Bailu Ultimate

Bailu's Ultimate Felicitous Thunderleap heals all allies and buffs them with Invigoration. Invigoration heals allies struck by enemies, acting as a pseudo-shield. This allows Bailu to perform her Basic ATK and contribute Skill Points while still providing heals.

Bailu's Trace Priority

Combat Traces

Trace Priority & Explanation
Basic Attack ★★★☆☆ - Low Priority
Only used for SP regeneration. This should be the last Trace to be leveled up.
Skill ★★★★☆ - High Priority
Great healing tool, mostly used only for emergencies.
Ultimate ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Bailu's main source of healing.
Talent ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
Synergizes with her burst and applies more healing. Should be leveled after her Ultimate.

Bonus Abilities

Trace Priority & Explanation
Aquatic Benediction ★★★★★ - Highest Priority
This allows characters to take less DMG while Invigorated, which is amazing for survivability.
Vidyadhara Geo-Veins ★★★★☆ - High Priority
Invigoration triggering twice means more healing, which is always nice to have.
Qihuang Analects ★★★☆☆ - Medium Priority
The Max HP increase is nice to have for survivability but can be left as the last Trace to get.

I've used Bailu in the 2nd half of MoC 12 and still 3 starred it. Sure, she can't cleanse which lots of players b*tch about, but it don't matter to me since all I care about is getting those stars. If you feel that you need a healer with cleanse, don't pick her. We may get some support characters in the future like Bronya who can cleanse but it'll probably be a long wait. Just know that if you pick Bailu, you'll need to play more smartly. Some players like this, some don't/can't.

Not sure if you'll see this comment since it's been about a month but never check through this site for insightful discussions lol! There are some genuinely helpful people but lots of commenters are either immature or looking to make trouble. Even Hoyolab and Reddit are better I hate to say. :-(
