Baicang Complete Build Guide: Triple Curses, Free Signature Arc, Single-Target Boss King (NTE)

Quick answer: Baicang is the 1.0 standard S-rank single-target burst Main DPS ceiling, captain of the Bureau of Anomaly Control’s ETD-4 squad, voiced by Yuichi Nakamura (the same VA as Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen). His core mechanic is stacking three curses (Blessing / Silence / Curse) and opening a 12-second curse zone with his Ultimate【Judgment of Autumn】to detonate them, with a built-in execute (bosses < 5%) plus a death-prevention mechanic. His signature Arc Camellia Society is completely free (obtained from the Serenetti side-stories), and its base ATK of 43 is one of the highest in the whole game — a must-build for F2P players. Launch 50-pull selector priority: Jiuyuan > Sakiri > Baicang > Daffodill.

ℹ Name note: This site uses “Baicang” as the character’s name. Some Chinese guides romanize it differently, but both refer to the same character — defer to the in-game display.

ETD-4 squad captain, voiced by Yuichi Nakamura, an Incantation single-target burst unit — Baicang is one of the strongest single-target Main DPS units among the standard S-ranks, and his signature Arc is free. This guide covers his kit, gear, teams, Eidolons, and investment path all in one place.

1. Character Basics

Field	Details
Name	Baicang
Rarity	S-rank (standard)
Element	Incantation
Arc type	Synthesis
Role	Main DPS / on-field single-target burst / sustained damage
Japanese VA	Yuichi Nakamura (Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen, Alto Saotome in Macross F, Gintoki Sakata in Gintama)

Background	Captain of the Bureau of Anomaly Control’s ETD-4 squad, an elite Hethereau squad leader, commanding squadmates Fadia, Lacrimosa, and Skia on major anomaly incidents

2. Skill Kit — The Triple-Curse System

Baicang’s core mechanic is stacking three “curses” and detonating them all at once with his Ultimate.

Basic Attack【Walk the Talk】

• Up to 5-hit combo
• Automatically applies 【Blessing】every 3 Basic Attack hits
• Hold to trigger the “Wordless Speech” or “Wild Talk” extension hits

Skill【Generous Guidance】

• 14-second CD, three variants:

Variant	Trigger	Effect
Base cast	Press directly	120% damage
【Silence】	Dodge-cancel input	3 projectiles, applies 【Silence】(single-target)
【Such Sins】	Cancel after a specific Basic Attack	280% AoE damage, applies 【Curse】(AoE)

Ultimate【Judgment of Autumn】

• 120 energy / 20-second CD
• Opens a 12-second curse zone (extended to 16 seconds at Eidolon 5)
• Curse effects inside the zone:

Curse	Effect
【Blessing】	Single-target damage + restores 5% max HP
【Silence】	High single-target damage
【Curse】	AoE damage

• Initial hit 400%, sustained DoT of 40% every 2 seconds
• Built-in death-prevention: blocks one lethal hit inside the zone
• Execute mechanic: trash mobs < 10%, bosses < 5% HP are instantly killed

Passive / Self-Damage Mechanic

• Each curse generated consumes 3% of his current HP
• Curses stack up to 3 (raised to 4 at Eidolon 3), lasting 15 seconds
• ⭐ The self-damage mechanic is the key to triggering the Camellia Society

Rotations

Single-target rotation:

Skill → Basic Attack → standard dodge → cancel into 【Silence】 → Ultimate → 3 Basic Attacks → dodge attack → repeat

AoE rotation:

Skill → Basic Attack → hold Basic Attack → cancel into 【Such Sins】 → Ultimate → 3 Basic Attacks → dodge attack → repeat

3. Eidolon (Awakening) Priority

Eidolon	Name	Effect	Priority
A6	White Aspect	+30% CRIT Rate during the Ultimate	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best
A5	In Honor of Moonlight	Zone extended 12s → 16s	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A3	Curses Spoken Into Being	Max curse stacks 3 → 4	⭐⭐⭐⭐
A2	Soul Caller	ATK +6% when applying a curse (up to 4 stacks = +24%)	⭐⭐⭐⭐
A1	Yo, Captain!	Next Skill +30% after 【Silence】; Skill CD -4s after 【Curse】	⭐⭐⭐
A4	Or Perhaps Blessings	Restores an extra 5% max HP per curse trigger (perfectly cancels the self-damage with Camellia Society)	⭐⭐⭐

E0 viability: very high. The core rotation is fully online at E0, and as a standard-pool unit, dupes for Eidolons are easy to come by.

4. Best Gear

⭐ Top Arc: Camellia Society (free!)

Stat	Value
Base ATK	43 (one of the highest among S-rank Arcs in the game)
Sub-stat	CRIT Rate 12% (at max level)
Core passive “Silent Garden”	When HP is lost without taking damage, gain 1 stack of Camellia, +12% CRIT DMG / stack, lasting 5 seconds, up to 4 stacks = +48% CRIT DMG
Arc skill	Consumes 5% HP, randomly triggers “Stern Rebuke” (5 hits of 24% ATK) or “Endless Nagging” (6 hits of 18% ATK, final hit doubled), 25-second CD

Getting Camellia Society for free (4 steps)

1. Complete the side-story “Tomato Jelly Rampage: Live Report!”
2. Complete the side-story “Where Words Sprout, Fall Unfolds” (Baicang × Lacrimosa crossover)
3. Travel to Serenity Manor in the “Unheard Shores” region of Hethereau
4. Defeat the world boss Serenetti (weak to Incantation, enters an enraged phase below 50% HP)

For a detailed boss walkthrough, see the Complete Anomaly Boss Bestiary.

Alternatives (when you don’t have Camellia Society)

• Fluff of Ferocity (limited S, ATK% sub-stat)
• A Time Will Come (standard generalist)
• Hethereau Guardian (generalist S-rank Arc, fits Synthesis)

Gear (Cartridge set): Crimson: Twin Butterflies 4-piece

• Top pick: Crimson: Twin Butterflies 4-piece
  • 2-piece: Incantation DMG +10%
  • 4-piece: when each nearby enemy takes Incantation DMG, gain ATK +6% (up to +36%)
• Alternative mix: Crimson: Twin Butterflies 2 + Shadow Creed 2
• Use Type III drive blocks: +8% CRIT Rate per piece

Main-stat + Sub-stat Priority

Slot	Priority stat
Slot 4	ATK%
Slot 5	Incantation DMG Bonus%
Slot 6	CRIT Rate (until 50%) → CRIT DMG (afterward)

Sub-stat priority: CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate > ATK% > Energy Recharge > flat ATK

Low-Eidolon Baicang needs to stack CRIT Rate to 50%+; once you have A6, go straight for CRIT DMG.

5. Recommended Teams

Discord Team (top-tier full ETD-4 lineup) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Baicang + Lacrimosa (Daffodill) + Skia + Fadia

• Skia’s stealth mechanic auto-stacks 【Silence】 without eating into Baicang’s field time
• Daffodill triggers Scorch (Incantation + Chaos) + Nova (Chaos + Anima)
• Fadia provides shields and healing, perfectly canceling the self-damage
• The only team in patch 1.0 that triggers Scorch, Nova, and Discord reactions all at once

Scorch Team (poise break + burn damage)

Baicang + Daffodill + Sakiri + Fadia

• Sakiri: ATK +30% team buff + DoT vulnerability
• Daffodill: triggers Scorch with Incantation + Chaos
• Fadia: survivability and shields

F2P Lineup (all free)

Baicang + Mint + Haniel + Edgar / Skia

• Mint: free A-rank Healer
• Haniel: free team buffer
• Fully viable at complete F2P

6. Investment Priority

1. Ascend the character to level 80 (mandatory for a Main DPS)
2. Skill leveling order: Ultimate ≥ Basic Attack > Skill > QTE
3. Camellia Society Arc to max level + refine to at least R1 (a free S-rank Arc — definitely max its refinement)
4. Crimson: Twin Butterflies 4-piece (farm at least 3 pieces with Incantation DMG% / ATK% main stats)
5. Stack CRIT Rate to 50% first, then dump everything into CRIT DMG

7. Why Baicang Is a “Boss Killer”

• ✅ Safe mid-range damage, rarely caught by boss melee
• ✅ Built-in 10% / 5% execute saves cleanup time
• ✅ The death-prevention mechanic inside the zone gives huge margin for error
• ✅ Camellia Society + self-damage = easy max CRIT DMG
• ✅ Yuichi Nakamura VA appeal: a must-pull for Gojo fans
