Baicang is an S-rank Incantation Synthesis character in Neverness to Everness and currently the only dedicated Incantation main DPS in the game's launch roster. His entire kit revolves around generating Power Words on enemies, consuming his own HP to fuel those words, and then detonating everything through his Ultimate for massive burst windows. He's a high-skill-ceiling pick: rewarding when you nail the combos, noticeably weaker when you fumble them. At launch, he sits at A-tier, held back primarily by the awkwardness of his moveset compared to other S-rank options.

Understanding Baicang means understanding his three Power Word types: Bless, Silence, and Objurgate. Each one is generated through specific actions, and all three detonate when he activates his Ultimate. Here's the breakdown by skill category.
Baicang's standard chain is Walk the Talk, a 5-hit Incantation sequence. Every 3 hits of Walk the Talk generates a Power Word Bless on the target, which lasts 15 seconds with a maximum of 3 stacks. Each time any Power Word is summoned, Baicang consumes 3% of his current HP. When his HP drops below 50%, that cost is halved to 1.5%.
Two extended basic attacks branch off from this chain:
There's also Critical Riposte: Truth Exposed, triggered by using Walk the Talk after a Critical Dodge. This knee strike deals 1 instance of AoE Incantation damage and generates 1 Bless word directly.
Baicang Power Word activation
Baicang has two redirect skills that each generate a different Power Word:
The base skill, Heart of Heaven and Earth, pulls words from ley lines and converges them on the target location for a standard attack.
This is where all three Power Words pay off. Judgment of Autumn releases a domain and enters the Power Word state, dealing Incantation damage over time to everything inside. When the Ultimate fires:
The Ultimate also executes targets below 10% HP (5% for bosses), and includes a one-time fatal hit immunity during the domain. If that immunity triggers, the domain ends automatically 3 seconds later and the recorded damage is taken slowly over the following 10 seconds.
| Arc | Rank | Key Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Camellia Society (S) | 1st | CRIT DMG +12% per stack (up to 4) when HP is reduced without damage taken; unlocks Arc: Silent Garden for additional Incantation hits |
| Fluff of Ferocity (S) | Alt | CRIT DMG +4% per critical hit, up to 10 stacks, duration resets on trigger |
| A Time Will Come (A) | 2nd | ATK, DEF, and HP each +10% when team has 3+ different Esper Types |
| The Fools' Spring (A) | Budget | ATK +18% while the wearer has a Shield |
Camellia Society is the clear best-in-slot by a significant margin. The CRIT DMG stacking synergizes directly with Baicang's HP-loss mechanic since each Power Word generation triggers the Arc's condition. The unlocked Silent Garden also fires additional Incantation hits (either 5 hits at 24% ATK or 6 hits at 18% ATK with the final hit dealing double damage), consuming 5% current HP on a 25-second cooldown.
The catch: you need a healer in the team to offset the Arc's HP drain, or Baicang's survivability becomes a serious problem in longer fights.
A Time Will Come works as a reliable free-to-play alternative, particularly at higher development levels, because the 10% ATK bonus is straightforward and doesn't require managing HP thresholds.
| Console | Set Bonuses | Why Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Crimson: Twin Butterflies | Epic (2): Incantation DMG +10% / Legendary (4): ATK +6% per stack (up to 6) when nearby enemies take Incantation DMG from the team; stacks persist off-field | Best-in-slot; covers both damage type and ATK scaling |
| Shadow Creed | Epic (2): ATK +10% / Legendary (4): ATK +25% for 20s after casting a Skill | Strong alternative with a massive ATK spike post-Skill |
| Lost Radiance | Epic (2): Cosmos DMG +10% / Legendary (4): Ignore 25% enemy DEF for 20s after casting Ultimate | Solid if you want DEF shred after each Ultimate window |
| Devil's Blood: Curse | Epic (2): Psyche DMG +10% / Legendary (4): DMG +18% (36% against Nova or Stain-affected units) | Good if team applies Nova or Stain consistently |
Crimson: Twin Butterflies is Baicang's best Console set because the Legendary 4-piece stacks passively as long as the team deals Incantation damage, and those stacks remain active even when Baicang is off-field. At 6 stacks, that's a 36% ATK increase on top of the 10% Incantation DMG bonus from the 2-piece.
Shadow Creed is the second-best option, offering a clean 25% ATK buff for 20 seconds after any Skill cast, which lines up well with Baicang's active rotation.
Stat priority: CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > Incantation DMG% > ATK%.

This is a Scorch reaction-focused team that can also trigger Discord reactions:
This is Baicang's strongest multi-target option. Both Baicang and Sakiri boost Scorch damage, and Sakiri also controls crowds and buffs DoT damage. With Lacrimosa and Adler both contributing DoT, every member of this team is dealing damage simultaneously.
Baicang is currently the only Incantation DPS in NTE at launch. That's a unique position, but it also means his dedicated support infrastructure doesn't exist yet. He lacks a character who fully unlocks his potential, which keeps him from being a must-pull despite being a genuinely strong unit.
If you want to invest in Incantation damage long-term and enjoy a more technical, combo-driven playstyle, he's a solid pick. If you want something that performs at a high level with less execution overhead, other S-rank options may serve you better right now. His A-tier placement reflects that gap between his ceiling and his ease of use.
