Beidou is a 4-star Electro Claymore sub-DPS whose Elemental Burst (Stormbreaker) creates a lightning arc that chains between enemies, dealing massive AoE Electro damage. Her Elemental Skill (Tidecaller) is a unique parry/counter that deals devastating damage when timed correctly. Beidou excels against 2+ enemies — her burst chains 5 times per discharge, making her one of the strongest AoE damage dealers in the game. Paired with Fischl as a battery, she forms the core of the legendary 'Taser' team composition.
1. Best Weapons (Ranked)
| Rank | Weapon | Rarity | Base ATK | Sub-stat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Serpent Spine R5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 510 | CRIT Rate 27.6% | Best 4-star. CR + up to 50% DMG bonus at R5. Beidou is off-field so she won't lose stacks. Battle Pass exclusive. |
| 2 | Wolf's Gravestone | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 608 | ATK 49.6% | High base ATK + team ATK buff. Good stat stick. Passive triggers on low-HP enemies for extra team ATK. |
| 3 | Akuoumaru R5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 510 | ATK 41.3% | Excellent. Burst DMG scales with total team energy cost. In Taser team (80+80+80+60=300), huge burst bonus. |
| 4 | Prototype Archaic R5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 565 | ATK 27.6% | F2P craftable. Solid ATK stat stick. Passive deals extra AoE damage on hit. Always available. |
2. Best Artifact Sets
Best overall. Converts ER into Burst DMG. Beidou needs 160-180% ER as solo Electro, so Emblem provides ~40% Burst DMG bonus. Her burst is her primary damage source.
Main Stats Priority
| Slot | Main Stat | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sands | ER% / ATK% | ER% if below 160% (solo Electro). ATK% if paired with Fischl battery. |
| Goblet | Electro DMG% | Always Electro DMG. |
| Circlet | CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG | Target 60:130+. |
Sub-stat Priority
- 1. Energy Recharge — 160-180% solo, 120-140% with Fischl
- 2. CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG — 60:130+
- 3. ATK% — 1700+ ATK
- 4. Elemental Mastery — nice but not priority

👥 Sucrose + Beidou + Fischl + Xingqiu
The classic. Sucrose drives with normal attacks. Beidou + Fischl provide off-field Electro. Xingqiu provides Hydro. Massive AoE Electro-Charged chains.

5. Rotation Guide
Fischl E (summon Oz) → Beidou E+Q (snapshot buffs) → Xingqiu E+Q (rain swords) → Sucrose NA spam (driver + swirl) → Beidou E (counter) → Repeat
6. Common Mistakes
❌ Running Beidou as solo Electro without ER — her 80-cost burst needs Fischl battery or 160%+ ER. Without it, you burst once every 3 rotations.
❌ Not using C2 — C2 makes Stormbreaker chain to 5 enemies (from 3). This is her biggest power spike. Worth buying from Paimon's Bargains.
❌ Not snapshotting — Beidou's burst snapshots ATK and DMG% buffs. Always cast buffs first, then Q.
❌ Leveling Normal Attack — Beidou's damage comes from E and Q. NA only matters if she's the on-field driver.
