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.

4th | Akuoumaru | ATK 41.3% (Lvl. 90) - ATK% increases overall damage - Increases Burst DMG └ Depends on the combined maximum Energy of the team |

---|---|---|
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.

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.

Raw Hydro damage will also increase overall team DPS - Fischl will not only act as a battery for Beidou, but will also apply consistent Electro DMG with Oz - Kazuha will apply Elemental Shred for either Electro or Hydro. Can also apply double Swirl with the right use |
Other Characters That Works With Beidou
Character | Sub | Details |
---|---|---|
Neuvillette | Ayato Childe | - Both can replace Neuvillette as an on-field Hydro Main DPS - Note that since Childe's Elemental Skill has a conditional cooldown, you will have to manage his Skill's uptime |
Fischl | Kuki Shinobu Yae Miko | - Kuki Shinobu & Yae Miko will both work great as a replacement for Fischl since they both have on-field abilities - Yae Miko will be a more DPS-centered pick, while Kuki Shinobu will play a more supportive-role |
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 |
