Baicang Best Guide: Skills, Teams & Arc | NTE: Neverness to Everness

Who has such a contrast between appearance and personality? It has to be Baicang. This prince charming is actually so delicate and tender underneath.

This guide to building Baicang will surely help you understand exactly how to play as Baicang!

 

Baicang Overview

Rarity: S-Rank | Attribute: Incantation | Role: Main DPS

Baicang is positioned as an Incantation-attribute main DPS, serving as a field-type sustained damage dealer. If you haven't pulled Nanally yet and haven't leveled up Chiz, Baicang can serve as a temporary substitute. If you already have Nanally but need another DPS for your second team, you may also consider building Baicang.

Baicang can apply two types of "Power Words" to targets. Each word has different effects within the ultimate domain: HP recovery, single-target damage, and AoE damage. You can choose the output method based on the current combat environment. Baicang's mechanics are somewhat complex and require a certain amount of practice and proficiency to master.

Baicang Skill

Skill upgrade priority:

Ultimate ＞ Basic Attack ＞ Redirect Skill ＞ Support Skill

Baicang releases a domain and enters Power Word state, dealing continuous Incantation DMG. Executes targets below 10% HP (bosses below 5%) and temporarily negates one fatal hit. Different Power Words within the domain produce different effects: healing (Bless), single-target burst (Silence), or AoE DMG (Objurgate) — making her a versatile field-based sustained main DPS built around her Power Word stacking mechanics.

Basic Attack

Walk the Talk	Uses martial arts to perform up to 5 consecutive attacks, dealing Incantation DMG.
Formless Words	Hold Basic Attack to trigger Formless Words after the 1st and 2nd hits of Walk the Talk. Release the stick and hold Dodge to trigger Formless Words during battle. Fires 3 incantation commands horizontally. After a brief delay, the commands detonate, with each dealing 1 instance of Incantation DMG to an area.
Unrestrained Words	Hold Basic Attack to trigger Unrestrained Words after the 3rd hit of Walk the Talk. Hold down the stick and hold Dodge to trigger Unrestrained Words during battle. Fires 3 incantation commands vertically. After a brief delay, the commands detonate, with each dealing 1 instance of Incantation DMG to an area.
In the Wind	Leaps in the wind and strikes, dealing 1 instance of Incantation DMG to an area upon impact. Increases DMG based on fall height, up to 200%.
Truth Exposed	Triggers when casting Walk the Talk after a Critical Dodge. Performs a knee strike on the target, dealing 1 instance of Incantation DMG to an area, reducing their Break. Generates 1 Bless word on the target when hit.
Shadow Follows	Generates a Power Word Bless on the enemy for every 3 Walk the Talk hits. This word lasts for 15s, and a maximum of 3 can be generated. Consumes 3% of Baicang's current HP whenever any Power Word is summoned. When Baicang's HP is below 50%, the amount consumed is halved.

 

Skill - Generous Guidance

Heart of Heaven and Earth

Ultimate - Judgment of Autumn

Look up, and fall into the polar abyss. Releases a domain and enters Power Word state, dealing Incantation DMG over time to targets.

Executes the target when their HP is below 10% (Boss HP below 5%).

Becomes immune to 1 fatal hit temporarily during Judgment of Autumn and records its value. Ends the domain automatically 3s after triggering the immunity effect and takes the recorded damage slowly over 10s after ending.

Support Skill - Break Time Over

Witness the power that words bestow. Charges briefly and writes incantation commands, targeting enemies and dealing 1 instance of Incantation DMG to an area. Generates 1 Power Word Silence on target when attacks hit.

 

Passive

Moderate Mischief

Scorch Enhancement: Inflicts another instance of Scorch with the same effect as the existing one when a Power Word is generated on a target affected by Scorch.

Moderate Working

Increases Baicang's ATK by 20%. Launches coordinate attacks with the allies when there are ETD-4 members in the Team. In combat, switching to Baicang while Skia is in stealth to immediately attack with Baicang and generate 1 Power Word Silence on target. Cooldown: 30s. In combat, when Fadia's HP drops below 20%, Baicang attacks the enemy 1 time, heals Fadia 1 time, and generates 1 Power Word Silence on target. Cooldown: 30s. Switching to Baicang while Lacrimosa is in bat form can trigger 1 super jump for Baicang.

 

Baicang's Awakenings

A1 Yo, Captain!	Increases Baicang's next Skill's damage by 30% when Silence triggers during Judgment of Autumn. Effect stacks. Reduces Baicang's Skill cooldown by 4s when Objurgate triggers. Effect stacks (applies to the next use if no Skill is on cooldown).
A2 Soul Caller	Like those mountain ranges, layer upon layer. Every 1 Power Word generated increases Baicang's ATK by 6%, up to 4 stacks. Each stack lasts 10s.
A3 Curses Spoken Into Being	Increases Power Word generation limit to 4.
A4 Or Perhaps Blessings	Restores an additional 5% of Max HP when any 1 Power Word triggers during Judgment of Autumn.
A5 In Honor of Moonlight	It's not over yet. Increases the duration of Judgment of Autumn to 16s.
A6 White Aspect	Increases Baicang's CRIT Rate by 30% during Judgment of Autumn.

A2 > A6 > A5 > A1 > A3 > A4

• Highest Priority - A2: Soul Caller

Every time any Power Word is generated, ATK increases by 6%, stacking up to 4 times (total 24%). The stacking condition is simple and each stack lasts 10 seconds. This is the core awakening for stable damage enhancement.

• Second Priority - A6: White Aspect

CRIT Rate directly increases by 30% during "Judgment of Autumn," greatly reducing the pressure on CRIT stat requirements. This allows you to focus more substats on CRIT DMG, resulting in a very noticeable damage output improvement.

• Third Priority - A5: In Honor of Moonlight

Extends the duration of "Judgment of Autumn" to 16 seconds. This allows for more damage rotations and more Power Word triggers within the domain, significantly improving both overall damage and sustain.

• Next - A1: Yo, Captain!

Triggering "Silence" stacks 30% Skill damage (stackable); triggering "Objurgate" reduces Skill cooldown by 4 seconds (stackable). However, this requires specific Power Words and proper execution. While the benefits are high, the consistency is slightly lower than the previous awakenings.

• Then - A3: Curses Spoken Into Being

Increases the maximum number of Power Words generated from 3 to 4. This allows A2 to stack more and enables more Power Words to be triggered within the domain. However, it doesn't directly provide damage and is considered a utility enhancement.

• Finally - A4: Or Perhaps Blessings

Restores an additional 5% of Max HP whenever any Power Word triggers within the domain. This improves survivability, but Baicang already has death immunity and HP recovery mechanics, making this the lowest priority.

 

Baicang's Resonances

Earth Sequence 3 Awakenings	Increases the skill levels of Walk the Talk, Generous Guidance, and Judgment of Autumn by 1.
Remained 6 Awakenings	Captain, sometimes. Grants all allies within the domain 20% ATK and the Execution effect during Judgment of Autumn.

Baicang Arc

Baicang's preferred arcana is "Camellia Society" — this set perfectly fits Baicang and is essentially her signature gear. Self-inflicted HP consumption increases CRIT DMG, stacking up to 80%. Additionally, this signature set generates extra ATK and Incantation DMG through HP consumption.

Alternatively, you can also consider using "Fluff of Ferocity" to stack CRIT DMG. Since Baicang is typically paired with teammates of at least three different attributes, "A Time Will Come" is also a viable option.

Camellia Society	Increases CRIT DMG by 12/14/16/18/20% for 5s when the wearer's HP is reduced without taking damage, up to 4 stacks. Unlocks Arc: Silent Garden. Consumes 5% of current HP and randomly performs one of the following attacks (CD 25s) in Arc: Silent Garden: Harsh Rebuke: Rains merciless rebukes like leaves in a storm, dealing 5 instances of Incantation DMG of 24/28/32/36/40% ATK. Incessant Nagging: Pierces targets with sharp, cutting words like thorns, dealing 6 instances of Incantation DMG of 18/21/24/27/30% ATK; the final instance deals double damage.
Fluff of Ferocity	Increases wearer's CRIT DMG by 4/4.8/5.6/6.4/7.2% for 10s after landing a critical hit, up to 10 stacks. Resets the duration when triggered again.
A Time Will Come	Grants the wearer 10/12/14/16/18% ATK, 10/12/14/16/18% DEF, and 10/12/14/16/18% HP when the team has at least 3 different Esper Types.

 

Baicang Cartridge

Crimson: Twin Butterflies	(2)Incantation DMG +10% (4)Increases wearer's ATK by 6% when a nearby enemy takes Incantation DMG from the Team, up to 6 stacks. Each stack lasts 10s. Effect remains active when the character is off-field.
Block Matching

• Main Stats: Incantation DMG / CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG
• Sub Stats: CRIT DMG = CRIT Rate > ATK% = DMG Increase

 

Baicang Team

Baicang is an Incantation-attribute character. Adjacent positions can trigger Resonance. Recommended attribute combinations are Anima as well as Chaos + Psyche. However, in the current version, the Chaos attribute only has one character, Daffodill, so she is essentially a must-include.

Next, consider the Cartridge set effects. It's best to bring another Incantation-attribute teammate (Adler or Sakiri) as well. For the last slot, bring a Psyche-attribute teammate to trigger Dissonance—options include Haniel or Fadia.

Main DPS	Sub DPS	Support	Support
Baicang	Daffodill	Adler Sakiri	Haniel Fadia

 

Conclusion

Baicang is the kind of character who "looks cold and aloof on the outside, but actually needs your careful care on the inside." His HP consumption mechanic might leave you flustered at first, but once you get used to his rhythm, you'll find that he's both hard-hitting and surprisingly durable. I hope this guide has been helpful to those of you struggling with how to build Baicang. Wishing you a great time in the city, and may Baicang accompany you through every challenge in style!
