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 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	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

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.

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.
