Same old question but different topic – is Baizhu & Kaveh good or is Baizhu & Kaveh worth it? Well, how can you be asking these questions when all we have is a single .png of Baizhu & Kaveh shared by Hoyoverse, hmmm 🙂 ?
Still, you’d be surprised that even without looking up any of the Baizhu leaks, there’s still a lot of things that you need to consider about this new Dendro character! Things like Baizhu skills or Baizhu gameplay aren’t what matter here – it’s advanced topics like Dendro place in the meta, the type of role and utility we can hope Baizhu & Kaveh will bring to Genshin Impact!

Dendro’s biggest issue is that hoyo coupled the idea of reaction+character more so than the element as a whole coupled with each character.
For Hydro: most applicators can perform well when focused on each reaction it can pull off, the core difference is HOW they perform in a team. Childe and Yelan can both be ran in a freeze, vap, or electro charged team depending on their teammates despite having drastically different play styles.
Dendro on the other hand has reactions that are dependent on the amount of Dendro that can be applied and if they scale with em better than another character, sure there are marginal differences between a spread dps and aggro enabler for an electro carry but that difference comes down to the time frame and amount of Dendro applied.
Dendro does not have a singular reactive identity as much as other elements, it has subcategories based on your application MORE than just if you apply Dendro on field or off field.
You have characters separated into Bloom enablers, spread dps, aggro supports, reverse melt burning supports, but you don’t just have a Dendro character that can do them all EXCEPT Nahida.
To draw back to Hydro, Childe and Yelan can preform every reaction hydro has just fine but the teammates needed to optimize those reactions are the major difference. For Dendro, a character is designed with the intentions of focusing on a single reaction based on the numbers that are assigned to them to limit their potential with other dendro reactions.
A character like Nahida is standard for Hydro, Pyro, Electro, and Cryo. She’s only broken for Dendro because Hoyo has chosen to give the power and complexity of Dendro characters in the reactions rather than in the characters themselves. Cyno is far better as an aggro dps than with any other electro reaction so he came across underwhelming, Dehya doesn’t have synergy with common methods to vaporize which is a hinderance, Xinyan/Eula/Razor interact with physical damage more than their element so they’re niche. Just look at Dehya, a Pyro character who is really good at overloading (despite her other many flaws) but can’t vaporize, Pyro units having the option to use all reactions is seen as the BARE MINIMUM yet Dendro units get away with fulfilling one role and differentiating between on and off field versions of that one reaction?? Dendro is designed in a limiting way which means an abundance of Dendro Characters will be solely usable based on raw numbers and how well they use a particular reaction. It’s a shame because it blurs character identity.
spoiler:
kaveh is a mini nilou, he buffs blooms without a party restriction by about half as much as nilou, but he isnt supposed to be a rival, hes meant to further more buffs her blooms
baizhu is a healer with a 10sec CD on his E that heals the entire party, dealing three instances of damage and healing, his burst is a weak shield that expires in 2.5 seconds and gets refreshed, it happens 4 or 6 times i forgot, whenever its broken (any big enemy should one shot the shield) it applies dendro, and it gives a buff cuz of one of his passives, his other passive buffs EM with every 1k hp he has capping at 50k hp
Everyone can use anything. The more you play, the more you understand such easy truth, that you can play whoever you want. Heck, game can be complete fully (even 36* abyss) with f2p characters.
Kaveh is actually pretty scary with Nilou if you have seen the leaks
"There's a bigger problem". Yeah, that Eula still isn't getting a bloody rerun.
I think the cyno mains are celebrating the coming of baizhu bc they really need him
You want to know what Dendro is missing? I`ll tell you right away! Dendro mommy! That`s what it is missing.
I usually choose characters whose character suits me better ^^
I just like some characters more their "utility" or dmg falls to the second or even third plan
good material~
for oldbie having a lot of characters (I'm only missing 10 5*) I still really want to pull for Baizhu, his healing is sure like Kokomi with her artifact set too. But Baizhu is an option for replacing Nahida slot or you don't have Kokomi Yaoyao for healing in Nilou bloom team. A small detail that made me want to pull him is his buff with each 1000HP he has, he can increase burning damage with Dehya + anemo character to swirl and decrease the enemy's pyro defense. Nothing can be correct until they are officially released, they don't need to be the strongest in some roles compared with Nahida, they are just opening up slots for team comb and unlocking new team type
What if Baizhu somehow just buffs the crap outta qiqi😂
Baizhu is worth giving up my primogems for because he is aesthetic existential envy.
Yea well I dont have Kokomi, I dont build Barbruh and Yaoyao… plus I have guaranteed and I love husbandos so I am getting Kaveh and Baizhu cause Baizhu gonna be a healer in Kaveh bloom team. I only build Alhaitham and dendro MC as of now
i expect that baizhu is a dendro shield & heal support unit for blooming teams
Homie really making an non issue an issue. The genshin community hates the idea of characters being to different (dehya having a tank kit, kokomi being a healer and not able to crit, kazuha’s kit being swirl focused at the time) but also hate characters being similar (aka looks at smudged writing on hands fulfilling the same role). This community really needs to pick a struggle.
This is such low effort clickbait and fear-mongering.
I'm not worried for kaveh, tbh bc a lot of people (me included) are pulling for him simply because he's really pretty to look at and he's our first claymore dendro
i mean baizhus kit…. is shield so they are gonan do smth unique
Kaveh will be a nice addition to my nilou
Even more with the windblume claymore making him a monster
Nahida sucks imo so……
Hyperbloom is already good so I don't understand why Baizhu needs to buff it, I mean It's Enough and to this point it's my fastest run in abyss so I don't think I need Baizhu anymore
honestly, I feel Baizhu should have some combo with Qiqi…. due to them working together, but Dendro and Cryo dont have any synergy 🙁
Burgeon Klee is fun, but she's so squishy. Even tho I enjoy that team, I rarely play it because of her survivability.
