The energetic disciple vs. the master of Bubu Pharmacy
Pick Yaoyao if…
Pick Baizhu if…
Baizhu is a direct upgrade over Yaoyao in almost every support category, offering better healing, buffs, and interruption resistance. Yaoyao remains a stellar 4-star option for those who don't have Baizhu.
Yaoyao
Baizhu
With Yaoyao
Yaoyao's White Jade Radishes provide the necessary healing to sustain the team against the constant self-damage from Nilou's Bountiful Cores. During her burst, Yaoyao can also provide additional Dendro application while moving, ensuring consistent Bloom production.
With Baizhu
Baizhu is the gold standard healer for Nilou Bloom, providing a sturdy shield and consistent healing that negates the threat of Bloom self-damage. His passive, All Things Are of the Earth, further increases Bloom damage for the active character.
With Yaoyao
Yaoyao provides the Dendro application needed for Cyno's Aggravate or Quickbloom reactions, but her limited off-field duration can be restrictive. She requires Cyno to occasionally shorten his field time or for the player to time her Burst healing during his downtime.
With Baizhu
Baizhu's Elemental Burst provides a long-duration shield and healing that matches Cyno's lengthy field time during Sacred Rite: Wolf's Swiftness. This ensures Cyno remains protected and can consistently trigger Quicken and Aggravate reactions throughout his entire burst.
