Best Arc (Weapons) for Baicang

Camellia Society
Fluff of Ferocity
A Time Will Come

Camellia Society (Best Overall)
His signature and strongest Arc. It offers high base Attack, CRIT Rate, and a powerful effect that boosts CRIT DMG when he loses HP without taking damage. This fits perfectly with his self-drain playstyle. It also synergizes well with Incantation damage that scales from his Attack.

Fluff of Ferocity (Good Alternative)
A great S-rank option with lower base Attack but added Attack % and a strong CRIT DMG boost. However, the effect depends on landing consistent CRITs, which can be tricky without enough CRIT Rate, making it less reliable overall.

A Time Will Come (Best A-Rank)
A solid A-rank pick with good base Attack and CRIT Rate to boost damage. It also adds some survivability, which helps offset his HP drain.

Best Cartridges and Modules for Baicang


Crimson: Twin Butterflies

Crimson Twin Butterflies is Baicang’s best cartridge, boosting both Incantation DMG and Attack, which fits perfectly with his damage-focused kit. Running the full 4-piece set is highly recommended to maximize these bonuses.

With the full setup, you can still add extra modules, allowing up to 32% CRIT Rate from the console bonus. This helps improve his consistency, especially when relying on CRIT-based effects.

How to Play Baicang in NTE?

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 to keep him alive.

Once his Ultimate is ready, that’s where his real damage begins. During this state, he can freely generate Power Words using his Basic Attacks and both versions of his Redirect Skill without worrying about HP loss.

The type of Power Word used depends on the situation, Silence works best for single targets, while Objurgate is more effective against multiple enemies. If his HP becomes an issue, he can trigger Bless through his Basic Attack to recover and stabilize.

His Ultimate also comes with strong utility. Enemies that fall below a certain HP threshold can be instantly executed, making it easier to finish fights quickly, especially against bosses. Additionally, Baicang can survive one fatal hit during his Ultimate, but the prevented damage is applied gradually afterward. Because of this, it’s important to pair him with supports who can provide healing or shields to handle the delayed damage safely.

Overall, his rotation is about building Ultimate efficiently, going all-in during it, and managing his HP carefully to maximize damage without putting himself at risk.
