Ah yes. It is always nice to boot up Genshin Impact for that new update aroma that blossoms every few months. Content Update 3.6 is looking to give the game a healthy dose of new content, and with that comes a new character. We must now ask ourselves if rolling for the new character, in this case, Baizhu, is worth the valuable currency to obtain. After all, Primogems aren't cheap, so a certainty of character quality and value is worth the additional consideration. If you are wondering if Baizhu is worth pulling for, then you've come to the right place, dear reader. Here's everything you need to know.
Is Baizhu worth rolling for in Genshin Impact?
Baizhu is an interesting character due to his element and skills within Genshin Impact. His role is that of support, and he offers this through healing and shielding. Also, as a Dendro, he has an inherent value attached to him due to being part of such a versatile element. But do we think he is worth rolling for? Yes and No. Hear us out.

Baizhu being a supporting role character is both a positive and a negative due to the way Genshin Impact is typically played. The Spiral Abyss is by far the most difficult content Genshin has to offer. While DPS typically is king there due to timer requirements, having one strong support with great elemental application tends to be a net positive.
Baizhu's Dendro application is rather limited unless you have constellations, which is not favorable toward making him a recommendation. However, he does fill multiple supporting roles at the same time at C0. Baizhu being both a healer and a shielder does free up valuable space in team comps, which is ideal when slotting characters in for the Spiral Abyss.

The real question of Baizhu's value is whether or not your account needs another solid support character. With characters like Kokomi and Kuki around, Baizhu's value is reduced. We do not think he is superior to either one at C0. This is because both Kokomi and Kuki offer up, arguably, better support through their healing and more consistent elemental application of their respective elements.
Then, there's the issue of 3.6's other set of banners: Nahida and Nilou. Nahida alone is vastly superior to Baizhu in everything but healing but still offers much more to your account due to her extreme versatility, damage, buffs, and Dendro application. We highly recommend going for her first if you have not acquired her yet. Nilou is more of a niche character, so while we don't necessarily recommend rolling for her over Baizhu, note that she does offer a unique playstyle that does not exist anywhere else in Genshin Impact.
With all that said, we think that Baizhu is a solid character to pull for if you need another support that happens to be Dendro, or you just like the character. However, we do believe it would be best to save your Primogems for a more valuable character in the future.
