Baicang Build Guide

Baicang is a high-risk, high-reward DPS who revolves around building his Ultimate and unleashing damage through Power Words. During normal play, focus on using Basic Attacks and his Redirect Skill to charge his Ultimate gauge. While he can generate Power Words outside of his Ultimate, doing so consumes a portion of his HP, making him vulnerable over time. This self-damage is reduced once his HP drops below half, but it still requires proper support from healers or shielders.
