Weapon	Wolf's Gravestone
Substitute	1. Makhaira Aquamarine 2. Skyward Pride 3. Akuoumaru 4. Luxurious Sea-Lord (F2P) 5. Forest Regalia
Best	Emblem Of Severed Fate x4
Artifact Stats	Sands: ATK% Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate / DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge 4. Elemental Mastery

Provides Off-field Electro Support With Burst

Beidou functions really well as off-field support. Her Burst spreads Electro easily and decreases any damage taken while in effect. In addition, her Burst at Constellation 1 erects a shield that can protect the active character from incoming damages temporarily. If you can easily gain Energy, use her Burst more often to somehow sustain the shield.

Beidou Main DPS Build

Weapon	The Unforged
Substitute	1. Serpent Spine 2. Skyward Pride 3. Lithic Blade 4. Prototype Archaic (F2P) 5. Rainslasher
Best	Thundering Fury x4
Artifact Stats	Sands: ATK% Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus Circlet: CRIT Rate / DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	1. CRIT Rate or DMG 2. ATK% 3. Elemental Mastery 4. Energy Recharge

Beidou Can Work Her Way To Get Energy

This build focuses on making Beidou an on-field DPS carry. You can opt to have lower ER since Beidou is going to be the active character who can collect Energy particles by using Skill. She can also be paired with characters that work well with Electro.

Best Weapons For Support Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	Wolf's Gravestone	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Gives additional ATK% - Can periodically increase ATK% of the team for a duration └ The buff gets triggered if Beidou gets to damage an enemy with less than 30% HP
2nd	Makhaira Aquamarine	Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - Gain ATK% that scales with EM - Provides a sustained ATK% buff to other members in the team - Great for Electro-related reaction team comp
3rd	Skyward Pride	Energy Recharge 36.8% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Increases the damage output of Beidou
4th	Akuoumaru	ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team
F2P	Luxurious Sea-Lord	ATK 55.1% (Lvl. 90) - Increases Elemental Burst DMG └ Guaranteed to inflict an Aoe damage periodically - Event-exclusive weapon which makes it easy to R5
F2P	Forest Regalia	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Electro-related reactions can produce Leaf that increases EM for a duration - Craftable which makes it easier to refine
6th	Sacrificial Greatsword	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Chance to reset Skill └ Can produce additional Energy upon using Skill

Aim For Energy Recharge & Elemental Mastery

With high ER, Beidou can keep the uptime of her Burst while having high EM increases the damage of Electro-related reactions which is good not only for Beidou but also for other team members that synergize with her.

Beidou Main DPS Weapon

Best Weapons For Main DPS Build

	Weapon	Details
Best	The Unforged	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage └ Stacks give additional ATK% (4 stacks at max) - Can strengthen shield from her Burst └ ATK can be increased further while protected by a shield
2nd	Serpent Spine	CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT DMG makes it convenient to achieve good CRIT stat ratio - Stacks let you deal more damage to the enemies but the damage you receive is also increased (5 stacks at max) └ Stacks are reduced whenever you get hit
3rd	Skyward Pride	Energy Recharge 36.8% (Lvl. 90) - ER substat is convenient for Burst uptime - Increases the damage output of Beidou - Can create vacuum blades periodically
4th	Lithic Blade	ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Can provide additional ATK% & CRIT Rate └ Passive is situational since it only takes effect when team members hail from Liyue
F2P	Prototype Archaic	ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Craftable which makes it easier to refine - Can inflict a small AoE periodically
6th	Rainslasher	Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - EM stat is great for Electro-related reaction team comp └ Better for triggering Electro-charge

Prioritize CRIT Stat As Much As Possible

The Unforged is the best claymore for Beidou since she can erect a shield of her own which can maximize The Unforge's passive. On the other hand, Serpent Spine is an excellent claymore due to its CRIT Rate stat & passive that can further increase Beidou's damage output.

Elemental Mastery Is Also Viable

Meanwhile, EM increases the damage of all Electro-related reactions. Using an EM weapon is great if you already have a good CRIT stat ratio from artifacts alone.

Go For Pure Elemental Mastery When Using Gilded Dreams

It is great to use Gilded Dreams when you are using Beidou as support with Dendro. With pure EM build, Beidou can trigger quicken reaction with Dendro that can inflict powerful damage periodically.

You Can Use ER Sands If She's The Only Electro In The Team

If you want to specifically use Beidou as the only Electro in the team, you can change your ATK% Sands to ER to compensate for her Energy for Burst uptime. Do note that you sacrifice damage in exchange for Energy.

Thundering Fury Is Excellent For Electro Reactions

The 4-piece effect of Thundering Fury can periodically reduce the CD of Skill while simultaneously increasing the damage output of all Electro-related reactions. If you are able to proc said reactions, it is possible for you to use Skill more often which could also produce Energy for Burst.

Retracing Bolide & Thundersoother Are Both Situational

Beidou can benefit from both artifact sets but situational. For instance, the 4-piece effect of Retracing Bolide is only activated when Beidou has a shield while Thundersoother is only applicable for mono Electro team comp.

Kazuha	Sucrose Jean Lynette	- Sucrose is a direct replacement for Kazuha since they function very similarly - Jean, on the other hand, offers healing at the cost of Elemental Shred

Beidou Wish & Constellation Guide

Should You Get Or Wish For Beidou?

Pull If You Need A DPS Or An Off-Field Electro

Beidou is a DPS that can provide an block and counter while dealing powerful Electro damage to nearby enemies. Although Beidou's constellation improves her DPS capabilities, it is not recommended to aim for Beidou when pulling unless Beidou's rate is boosted.

Best Constellation For Beidou

Required To Have C1, Recommended To Get Her To C2/C6

If Beidou has no Constellations, she cannot geneerate a shield with her Elemental Burst, which makes it hard to use. This is why getting her to C1 is a must. The rest of Constellations are strong, byt C2 and C6 increases her DPS potential, including an Electro shred with her Burst.
