Strengths & Weaknesses

Bailu

Strengths
  • “Felicitous Thunderleap” restores HP across the threatened allies, giving Bailu a panic button when Skill ticks are not enough.
  • Skill “Singing Among Clouds” Heals a single ally for 13.7% of Bailu's Max HP plus 400—Outgoing Healing and HP relics convert directly into safer DPS turns.
  • “Gourdful of Elixir” restores HP across the threatened allies—clutch saves without spending a second Ultimate.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Bailu looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • If Energy or Skill Points starve “Felicitous Thunderleap”, Bailu spends turns on Basics and the kit’s advertised multipliers never show up on the combat log.
  • Spamming “Singing Among Clouds” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Bailu is often the SP sink.

Lingsha

Strengths
  • Ultimate “Dripping Mistscape” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—level this before polishing filler traces.
  • Talent “Mistdance Manifest” fires Follow-Up ATKs off ally Basics—stack management is the real rotation, not just Skill spam.
  • Skill “Smoke and Splendor” hits every enemy on the field in one cast—this is the spend that keeps the rotation honest.
Weaknesses
  • Healing does not speed Toughness or DPS checks—Lingsha looks “bad” on clear-time boards even when the team would have died without the Skill/Ult heals.
  • “Mistdance Manifest” Follow-Ups only fire after the Charge/HP conditions are met—wasting Skill or over-healing can strand Lingsha below the Follow-Up threshold for a full cycle.
  • Spamming “Smoke and Splendor” every turn without watching Skill Points strands the rest of the team—Lingsha is often the SP sink.
