- Scorch is recommended due to Baicang's long field time
- Ensure team has at least 3 different Esper Types for A Time Will Come arc if used

How to Play
Baicang should go last in team rotation. Start with Formless and Unrestrained Words from dodge, then use Silenced Thought (single-target) or Such Crime (AoE). Activate Ultimate and spam basic attacks to stack Bless for healing. Swap to supports when Ultimate ends.
Rotations
- 1 Prerequisite team rotation: Shielder/Mitigation Skill → Buffer Skill → Buffer Ultimate → Sub-DPS Skill → Sub-DPS Ultimate → Swap to Baicang
- 2 AoE combo: Baicang Skill → Basic Attack → Hold Basic Attack → Alt Skill (AoE) → Ultimate → Basic Attack x3 → Dodge Attack → Skill when available
- 3 Single-target combo: Baicang Skill → Basic Attack → Standard Dodge → Alt Skill (Single-Target) → Ultimate → Basic Attack x3 → Dodge Attack → Skill when available
Tips
- Dodge gives access to special attacks: Formless Words (moving) and Unrestrained Words (stationary)
- His Skill has three forms: basic Heart of Heaven and Earth, Silenced Thought (single-target), and Such Crime (AoE)
- During Ultimate, enemies below 10% HP (5% for bosses) can be instantly killed
- Team with Anima or Chaos characters for Hexed or Scorch; Scorch is better for long field time
- Bless heal on every 3 basic attacks during Ultimate
- Good solo potential due to self-sufficiency
