Tier Position

T0.5

Analysis

High-ceiling boss killer whose damage can rival limited T0 banners when piloted by a skilled player. Operates on a complex Power Word system.

Pros

High potential for boss execution — instantly kills targets under 10% HP (bosses under 5%)

Strong passive coordination with ETD-4 members (Skia, Fadia, Lacrimosa)

Cons

High mechanical friction — poor HP management can lead to unintended unit loss in long fights

Each Power Word consumes 3% of current HP

Recommended Build

Role: Main DPS

Baicang is a strong bossing unit whose ceiling scales with Power Word mastery. Judgment of Autumn's Execute threshold converts sustained DoT into burst kills, while Moderate Mischief doubles Scorch stacks on Power Word generation. Camellia Society's Silent Garden passive provides CRIT DMG stacks from his self-HP-reduction, syncing perfectly with his mechanics. Sakiri's DoT stacking and Daffodill's Break setup unlock his maximum damage potential.

Recommended Team

Baicang

Main DPS

Power Word DPS; Judgment of Autumn creates a DoT domain with an Execute threshold that instantly defeats standard enemies below 10% HP and bosses below 5%.

Sakiri

Sub DPS / Scorch Amplifier

Can I Eat This? adds +25% DoT damage per active DoT type while in Scorch state, capped at +100%. Devour Whole provides CC windows for precise Scorch timing.

Daffodill

Break Specialist

Discord trigger and Break-bar shredder. Blade Draw reduces the enemy Break cap, ensuring longer Broken phases for Baicang's Execute threshold.

Haniel

Support / Healer

Universal off-field healer; It's Friendship! drains ATK from Nova targets and passes it to all allies as a passive ATK buff.

About

"The chillin' Captain Baicang" is known as the most easily encountered captain of ETD. They say you could run into him in any corner of Hethereau, almost like an NPC you encounter randomly. If you approach him, he'll likely say: "On duty. Do not disturb." Captain Baicang will then promptly disappear, perhaps genuinely busy with official duties. Such a workaholic…

Scorch Enhancement: Inflicts another instance of Scorch with the same effect as the existing one when a Power Word is generated on a target affected by Scorch.

Sigh… break time's over again. Now then, let's wrap this up quickly, shall we?

Moderate Working Passive

Increases Baicang's ATK by 20%.
Launches coordinate attacks with the allies when there are ETD-4 members in the Team.
In combat, switching to Baicang while Skia is in stealth to immediately attack with Baicang and generate 1 Power Word Silence on target. Cooldown: 30s.
In combat, when Fadia's HP drops below 20%, Baicang attacks the enemy 1 time, heals Fadia 1 time, and generates 1 Power Word Silence on target. Cooldown: 30s.
Switching to Baicang while Lacrimosa is in bat form can trigger 1 super jump for Baicang.

Sure, we're all a bunch of eccentric weirdos who do our own thing, but we have our moments of perfect teamwork too. Spend enough time together, and your body starts to remember each other's habits and movements. What was that just now? Why, that was ETD-4's passionate combo, of course!
