| Role |  DPS |
Baicang is an Incantation-element attacker whose attacks shift based on his previous action.

On top of that, generating Power Words during his Ultimate triggers extra damage and HP recovery, giving him exceptional single-target performance.

Baicang - How To Play & Rotations
Basic Combat Strategy
- Build the Ultimate gauge during normal combat
- Generate Power Words during the Ultimate to deal damage
- Negate one instance of lethal damage
Build the Ultimate Gauge During Normal Combat
Baicang is a DPS who outputs damage through the Power Words generated during the Ultimate. First, use Basic Attacks and the Redirect Skill to fill the gauge, then trigger the Ultimate.
Generating Power Words Outside the Ultimate Costs HP
Generating a Power Word outside the Ultimate consumes 3% of Baicang's current HP. While he can deal high damage even outside the Ultimate, he constantly carries self-damage risk, so pair him with a survival support to cover his durability.
| Point! | Once HP drops below 50%, the HP cost is reduced to 1.5%. |
|---|
Generate Power Words During the Ultimate
While the Ultimate is active, generate Power Words with Basic Attacks and the two types of Redirect Skills to deal damage. Prioritize "
Instantly Execute Enemies Below a Certain HP Threshold
During the Ultimate, when an enemy's HP drops below a certain threshold, "Execute" activates and instantly defeats the target. The HP threshold is under 10% for normal enemies and under 5% for bosses.
Negate One Instance of Lethal Damage
During the Ultimate, lethal damage is negated once. Three seconds after the negation, the Ultimate state ends and the damage that would have been taken is dealt gradually over 10 seconds. Use a support character to heal HP or apply a Shield so Baicang doesn't fall from the delayed damage.
| Point! | Switching Baicang to the bench does not stop the damage. Regroup so he can survive before going down. |
|---|
