Baicang, the laid-back captain of ETD-4 in Neverness to Everness, is voiced in English by Griffin Burns, who is also recognized for playing Childe in Genshin Impact. He's an S-Class Incantation character on the Bose arc, built around stacking Power Words to deal damage over time.
Voice cast across languages
Baicang's dub for the global launch was produced in the United States through Keywords Studios and Voice Trax West, with voice direction credited to Chris Faiella, Brook Chalmers, and Tony Oliver. Recording began in 2026 alongside the game's worldwide release.

Who Baicang is
Baicang is described in-game as the "least captain-like captain" of ETD-4, a unit within the Bureau of Anomaly Control. His birthday is listed as November 23. He fights with martial arts combined with summoned incantation commands that hover in the air before detonating on enemies.
His role is Main DPS with a damage-over-time profile. He scales with the Incantation element and belongs to the Bose arc, which determines how he interacts with elemental reactions in team compositions.
Rarity and how to get him
Baicang is an S-Class Standard character, meaning he stays available through the regular gacha pool permanently rather than being limited to a single banner window. After enough account progress, you can also pick him directly using a Standard Selector.
Skills and combat identity
Baicang's kit revolves around generating three different Power Words on enemies and then triggering them with his ultimate for tailored effects. Every time a Power Word is summoned, he spends a small percentage of his current HP, halved when he drops below 50% HP.
| Skill | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Attack | Walk the Talk | Five-hit martial arts combo dealing Incantation DMG; generates a Bless word every 3 hits. |
| Skill 2 | Generous Guidance | Redirect skill that applies Silence (single-target) or Objurgate (AoE) depending on the prior input. |
| Skill 3 | Judgment of Autumn | Domain ultimate; executes targets below 10% HP (5% for bosses) and grants one fatal-hit immunity, with damage paid back over 10s. |
| Skill 4 | Break Time Over | Charged AoE attack that applies a Silence Power Word on hit. |
Inside his domain, the three Power Words behave differently. Silence triggers high single-target damage, Objurgate causes AoE damage, and Bless deals damage while restoring 5% of Baicang's max HP.
Awakenings and resonance
His progression path covers six awakening nodes plus two resonance options that shape how his Power Words interact with allies.
| Node | Name |
|---|---|
| A1 | Yo, Captain! |
| A2 | Soul Caller |
| A3 | Curses Spoken Into Being |
| A4 | Or Perhaps Blessings |
| A5 | In Honor of Moonlight |
| A6 | White Aspect |
| Resonance | Earth Sequence |
| Resonance | Remained |
Teams Baicang fits into
Baicang is positioned as a main DPS in several reaction-based comps. He works as the trigger source for Scorch in Full Cycle, and he pairs with Daffodil and Haniel in a Discord Core lineup that drains enemy break meter through Scorch and Nova reactions stacked on the same target. He also slots into Hexed Chain teams, where retroactive damage compounds on every hit while the reaction is active.
