How To Play & Rotation for Baicang
Basic Playstyle
- Build up the Ultimate gauge during normal play
- Generate Power Words during Ultimate to deal damage
- Nullify a fatal blow once
Build Up the Ultimate Gauge During Normal Play
Baicang is an attacker who deals damage by generating Power Words during his Ultimate. First, use Basic Attacks and the Redirect Skill to charge the gauge, then activate the Ultimate.
Generating Power Words Outside of Ultimate Consumes HP
Generating a Power Word outside of Ultimate consumes 3% of Baicang's current HP. While he can deal high damage even outside of Ultimate, he constantly carries the risk of self-inflicted damage, so make sure to include a survival support character to cover his durability.
| Point! | Once HP drops below 50%, the HP cost is reduced to 1.5%. |
|---|
Generate Power Words During Ultimate
During the Ultimate, use Basic Attacks and the two types of Redirect Skill to generate Power Words and dish out damage. Against a single enemy, prioritize generating Silence; against multiple enemies, prioritize Objurgate. If you need to recover HP, activate Bless via Basic Attack to regroup.
Instantly Defeat Enemies Below a Set HP Threshold
During the Ultimate, when an enemy's HP drops below a certain percentage, Execute activates and immediately defeats the target. The HP threshold for activation is under 10% for normal enemies, and under 5% for bosses.
Nullify a Fatal Blow Once
During the Ultimate, fatal damage can be nullified once. Three seconds after the nullification, the Ultimate state ends and the damage that would have been taken is dealt incrementally over 10 seconds. Use support characters to apply HP Recovery or Shields to ensure he doesn't go down from the deferred damage.
| Point! | Switching characters and putting him in reserve does not stop the damage. Regroup so he can endure the hits before going down. |
