Genshin Impact has officially revealed the character demo for one of the upcoming characters, the long-awaited Dendro user Baizhu. He has been part of the game since the earliest quest in the Liyue region where he's introduced as the extremely friendly owner of the Bubu Pharmacy located in the northern part of Liyue Harbor.

Despite being introduced as the first Dendro character in Genshin Impact, developer HoYoverse delayed his arrival to the playable roster probably because he is not related to the Sumeru region. The game's official social media accounts have confirmed that he will arrive as the only new five-star character in the second part of version 3.6.

Developer HoYoverse usually releases a couple of promotional videos before the release of each new five-star character. Genshin Impact's official YouTube account has released a character demo for the Dendro user Baizhu who will join the roster in the upcoming days. The demo features Baizhu fighting a couple of Treasure Hoarders by using the skills that were demonstrated in the recent Special Program event for Genshin Impact update 3.6. Baizhu's whole kit revolves around his Elemental Burst which creates one of the most powerful shields in the game which keeps regenerating every 2 seconds. His Elemental Skill sends out a sprite that deals damage to nearby enemies and heals the active character upon returning.

When it comes to his role, Baizhu is expected to be a new Genshin Impact support with a strong focus on healing his teammates. A recent Genshin Impact video leak has proven that he will also be a great fit for the Bloom team composition which requires players to combine Dendro and Hydro in order to create Dendro cores that explode after a couple of minutes. Some players suggested that HoYoverse should've delayed his release until 3.7 since the first part of this update featured the popular Dendro Archon Nahida.

Since his first appearance, there have been a lot of theories in the community about Baizhu and his role in the official storyline. One of the most popular theories claims that he could be related to a Fatui Harbinber named Pantalone who was revealed during the "A Winter Night's Lazzo" trailer.

Travelers have noticed that the two characters have a very similar design with Baizhu's brighter color theme being the main difference. This had many players believe that Pantalone could be Baizhu's darker twin who could appear in his official story quest.

Genshin Impact is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices. A Switch version is in development.
