Lauma vs Baizhu
Newer Dendro utility vs. the ultimate Dendro sustain
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Lauma if…
- When you need more Dendro damage from your support slot
- In teams where you already have another source of healing
- If you want better application for multi-target scenarios
Pick Baizhu if…
- For maximum safety in high-difficulty content (Abyss)
- In Furina teams that require massive, reliable healing
- To maximize reaction damage via his unique passive
Baizhu remains the king of Dendro sustain and ease of use. Lauma is a competitive alternative for more aggressive teams, but lacks the sheer defensive 'laziness' that makes Baizhu top-tier.
At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Lauma
- Powerful off-field Bloom support with good off-field elemental application and decent damage.
- Provides both a Hydro and Dendro RES Shred.
- Can allow Bloom-based reactions to crit. Something previously only available with Nahida's C2.
- You lose the ability for Bloom-based reactions to Crit if you use multiple Nod-Krai characters.
- Healing is entirely locked behind C1 which provides a very significant change to team-building.
Baizhu
- Strong Dendro damage
- Versatile team options
- Requires investment
- Best teams use limited 5-stars
Shared Team Members
With Lauma
Lauma provides the fast, consistent Dendro application required to trigger Nilou's Bountiful Cores at a high frequency. Her kit allows her to apply Dendro effectively while maintaining the strict Hydro/Dendro party restriction for Nilou's passive.
With Baizhu
Baizhu is Nilou's ideal defensive partner, providing the shields and healing necessary to survive the self-damage from Bountiful Cores. His off-field Dendro application also helps maintain the Dendro aura needed for continuous Bloom reactions.
