Beidou's abilities
In battle, Beidou uses a two-handed sword, which, with the help of elemental skill Deals strong Electro damage and absorbs incoming damage from opponents, creating a shield and counterattacking. elemental explosion gives Beidou the ability to be a good sub-DD that attacks Electro's enemies with pocket lightning, making her more useful in triggering elemental reactions. On C0, the heroine is more of a single-target damage dealer, but with a second or more constellations, she is extremely effective when used against crowds of opponents.
Next, we will analyze in more detail all the Bay Dou skills, and also tell you in what order they need to be pumped.
Basic skills (active skills)
- Waves (normal, charged, falling attack)
Performs up to five hits with a normal attack.
Charged Attack: Performs a series of strikes followed by a strong sword attack. Constantly drains stamina during combos.
Falling Attack: Falls rapidly to the ground, attacking all enemies in its path. After landing, inflicts P. area damage.
- Summon Wave (Elemental Skill)
Cooldown: 7.5 sec.
Quick Press: Swings the sword, attacking Electro in front of him.
Long Press: Raises the sword as a shield and absorbs damage based on her HP. After the interruption of the skill or the full accumulation of damage, attacks the opponents of Electro. The damage of the charged skill depends on the number of hits absorbed - the maximum bonus is given two strokes or use of a counterattack within a minimum time after an enemy attack. Sword Shield applies the Electro effect to Beidou.
- Stormbreaker (Elemental Blast)
Duration: 15 sec.
Cooldown: 20 sec.
Energy consumption: 80.
The skill creates a Thunder Shield around Beidou, which persists when switching characters.
Thunder Shield: when hit with normal and charged attacks on enemies, launches a chain lightning that jumps from one enemy to another and deals Electro damage. No more than one lightning can be launched per second. Thunder Shield increases resistance to interrupt attacks and reduces damage taken.
The order of pumping
Beidou is a sub-DD whose main source of damage is elemental explosion, which must be pumped first. The elemental skill is also capable of dealing good damage and absorbing incoming damage, so it should be raised to at least level 6 after the ult. The heroine does not use normal attacks, so there is no need to download them. Accordingly, Beidou's talent leveling is as follows: Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attacks (if desired).
Passive skills
| Talent | When does it open | What gives |
|---|---|---|
| Wave Breaker | Base | Reduces the active character's stamina consumption while swimming by 20%. |
| Retribution | 2nd Ascension Phase | A perfect counterattack with Summon Wave gives the maximum damage bonus. |
| Thunder and lightning | 4nd Ascension Phase | Within 10 sec. After a perfect parry with Summon Wave, Beidou gains the following effects:
|
Constellations
Best Beidou constellations - С1, С2 и С6.
- The first constellation grants the ability to create a shield when activating Beidou's elemental blast, which absorbs incoming damage based on her health. This constant will increase the overall survivability of the squad - Beidou will not become a full-fledged shielder, but it will protect against a couple of hits or reduce incoming damage.
- The second constellation allows lightning from the ult to jump to two additional opponents. Thanks to him, Beidou will be able to quickly cope with a crowd of opponents.
- The sixth constellation reduces the resistance of enemies to Electro damage during the elemental explosion. This const is especially useful if there is a second Electro DPS in the squad, as it will increase its damage, and not just Bay Dou herself.
| number | Name | <font><font>Materials</font></font> |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Predator of the seas | When using an elemental explosion, creates a shield that for 15 sec. absorbs damage equal to 16% of max. HP Beidou |
| 2 | Sea storm | Skill Chain Lightning Stormbreaker can jump onto two additional enemies. |
| 3 | storm call | Increases the skill level of Summon Wave by 3. Max. Lvl: 15 |
| 4 | deafening revenge | Within 10 sec. After taking damage, Beidou's normal attacks take an additional 20% Electro damage. |
| 5 | Scarlet sails on the horizon | Increases the skill level of Stormbreaker by 3. Max. Lvl: 15 |
| 6 | The death of vice | For the duration of Stormbreaker, the Electro resistance of surrounding enemies is reduced by 15%. |
Advantages and Disadvantages of Beidou
Beidou is a good character for the role of Electro sub-dp, dealing a lot of damage, but has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's consider them in more detail.
|
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
| It is a handy pocket damage dealer that deals a lot of Electro damage. | Beidou's Elemental Burst is very expensive, so to permanently activate it, you will have to collect energy recovery or put a second Electro in the squad as a battery. |
| With constellations, he gets convenient support functions - he creates a shield that reduces incoming damage, and also lowers resistance to Electro in enemies. | Bay Dou's ult does not work on characters whose attacks are not normal and charged (for example, hits Raiden after activating the elemental explosion). She only synergizes most effectively with those who only attack with her hand most of the time, otherwise she will lose most of her personal damage. |
| Able to absorb quite a lot of damage with a long press of the skill, which increases the survivability of the squad. | It is very demanding on the presence of constellations in order to bring more benefits to the squad, since the full potential of the character is revealed only with the presence of consts. |
| Possesses an Electro element, which opens her way to most squads through reactions, especially with Dendro and Hydro elements. | Assembling a Beidou is very difficult, since it is necessary to balance several characteristics in artifacts at once - it needs to immediately restore energy, and attack power, and crit. damage/crit. chance, and a small amount of elemental mastery. |
| A passive skill that reduces the cost of stamina while swimming, useful when exploring new territories in order to get to hard-to-reach places. | Beidou needs time to charge the skill to the maximum, which is sometimes disadvantageous when you need to instantly deal a lot of damage. |

Best Beidou Builds in Genshin Impact
Beidou is a secondary damage dealer whose main purpose is to deal damage and inflict Electro status for subsequent reactions. This means that this character needs not only attack powerbut in good balance Crete. chance and crit. damage. In addition, Beidou needs to ult as often as possible, so she desperately needs energy recovery.
If the heroine plays in squads through reactions, mainly with Dendrowill benefit and mastery of the elements. But it’s not worth gaining this stat much and looking for it in the main characteristics of artifacts, a small amount from substats will suffice.
HP is only useful to increase the absorption of the long press of the elemental skill and the strength of the shield. For Beidou, the ability to defend a squad is only a nice bonus, and not the main purpose, so gaining HP through equipment and weapons is not necessary.
Recommended characteristic values
Even though Beidou needs to deal as much damage as possible, energy recovery is one of the most important stats to look for in hours and additional stats. If this characteristic is sufficient (for example, if Beidou has a sword for energy recovery), the watch can also be taken for attack power. In the goblet, you need to take the Electro damage bonus, and in the crown - Crete. chance or crit. damage depends on a situation.
For maximum efficiency, you should look for the following characteristics in artifacts:
| Artifact | Main characteristic | Additional stats |
|---|---|---|
 Flower of Life | HP (permanent) | Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Elemental Mastery |
 Feather of Death | Attack Power (Permanent) | Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Elemental Mastery |
 The sands of Time | Attack Power %/Energy Recovery% | Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Elemental Mastery |
 space cup | Bonus Electro Damage % | Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Elemental Mastery |
 Crown of Mind | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits | Crete. damage Crit chance. hits Attack Power % / Energy Recovery % Elemental Mastery |
Optimal characteristic values:
- ATKA: Approximately 1500 and above.
- Energy recovery: it is worth keeping approximately within the framework of 180-220 units. depending on the presence of a second Electro in the squad, with which they can work as mutual batteries.
- Crete. chance and crit. damage it is recommended to collect in a ratio of 1: 2, where 60 crit. chance accounts for 120 crit. damage and more.
- Elemental Mastery: about 80-150 units when playing through reactions, especially in the Dendro squad. However, you should not be zealous with a set of this characteristic, since Beidou herself rarely closes the reaction.
Best weapon
Weapons on Beidou should cover her need for important stats and help balance her stats. Swords for attack power or crits are best suited for her. The best option would be a weapon with energy restoration in the characteristics, as this will make it possible to focus on increasing damage in artifacts and ult on cooldown.
| Name | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 Wolf death⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 46 ~ 608 Attack Power: 10,8% ~ 49,6% | Increases attack power by 20%~40%. When hitting a target with less than 30% HP, increase the attack power of all party members by 40%~80% for 12 seconds. | The best weapon for Beidou. Increases her own damage and buffs the team.

 Heavenly greatness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 48 ~ 674 Restore energy: 8% ~ 36,8% | Increases damage dealt by 8%~16%. Activating an elemental explosion and being hit by normal or charged attacks launches a blade that deals 80%~160% damage to all enemies in its path. Lasts 20 seconds. or 8 intangible blades. | A high base attack, a passive to increase damage and restore energy will help in a comfortable game and inflicting high damage. It is better to take the watch for attack power, and dial an additional indicator from the substats of artifacts, since energy recovery is already in the sword’s characteristic. |
 Dragonbone sword⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 42 ~ 510 Crit chance. hits: 6% ~ 27,6% | While the character is in combat, every 4 sec. Increases their damage dealt by 6%~10% and their damage taken by 3%~1,8%. Can stack up to 5 times, does not reset on character change, loses 1 stack when damaged. | Since Beidou plays out of pocket and has a counterattack on E-shke, he does not take damage, so he will be able to constantly maintain the weapon buff.

 Talking Mace⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 44 ~ 565 Crit chance. hits: 4% ~ 18,4% | Increases attack power by 16-32% for 15 sec. after receiving the Pyro effect. This effect can occur once every 12 sec.

Can occur once every 12 sec. | Thanks to Beidou's ability to apply elemental status to herself, she can easily activate the weapon's passive ability. In its case, the bonus will be an increase in elemental damage. If the heroine is playing with Kazuha or a Geo character in the set archaic stone, then the increase from weapons is not so valuable, since Beidou’s Electro damage goes as an elevation stat and she does not need a large number of buffs for this stat. |
 unforged⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 46-608 Attack Power: 10,8%-49,6% | Increases shield strength by 20%-40%. On hit, increases attack power by 4%-8% within 8 sec. The effect can stack up to 5 times and occur every 0.3 seconds. In addition, while protected by a shield, the attack power bonus of this effect is increased by 100%. | Gives a lot of attack damage, which is useful with hours of energy regeneration and no attack damage buffer in the team. With C1, Beidou gains a shield, allowing the weapon to reach its full potential. |
 Akuomaru⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42-510 Attack Power: 9%-41,3% | The elemental explosion damage of the character equipped with this weapon is increased by 0,12%-0,24%for each unit amount max. energy of each member of the squad. Damage bonus cannot exceed 40%-80%. | On teams with expensive ults and an attack power buffer, this weapon rises to the top 1 on awakenings. But even without awakenings, this sword is one of the best on Beidou, as it gives a damage affix in the ult. |
 Magic Super Sword of the Supreme Overlord⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 44-565 Energy recovery: 6.7%-30.6% | Increases attack power by 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%. But that is not all! Supporting the Melusines in the village of Merousi, whom you helped, fills you with power! Depending on their number, the attack power can additionally increase by a maximum of 12%/15%/18%/21%/24%. | The best free option on full awakenings. The sword does not provide affixes, but it increases energy recovery, and due to the high base attack power and additional substat it allows you to create a good balance of stats. With this sword, the clock can be set to both attack and restore energy, depending on the substats in the artifacts. |
 wave shadow⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 42-510 Attack Power: 9%-41,4% | Attack power after being healed is increased by 24-48% for 8 sec. The effect works even when the character is not on the battlefield. | A crafted two-handed weapon is suitable in assemblies where energy restoration is collected through artifacts.

 Forest Regalia⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic Attack 44 ~ 565 Energy recovery 6,7% ~ 30,6% | The Burning, Stimulating, Escalating, Growth, Budding, Vegetation, and Blooming statuses create a Consciousness Seed near the character that lasts for 10 seconds. The character who picks it up gains 60 Elemental Mastery. for 12 sec. A consciousness seed can spawn every 20 sec. | A good option for teams with Dendro heroes when you need to buff the main damage dealer with elemental mastery. This weapon will allow Bay Dou not only to deal damage, but also to buff the main damage. |
 Katsuragikiri Nagamasa⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 42 ~ 510 Restore energy: 10% ~ 45,9% | Increases elemental skill damage by 6-12%. When Eshka hits an enemy, the character loses 3 energy, but recovers 3-5 energy every 2 seconds. for the next 6 sec. The effect occurs once every 10 sec. | The most versatile crafting option for Beidou that works in any team. It will help with the restoration of energy and increase the damage from the elemental skill. |
 Favonia's two-handed swordBasic attack: 41 ~ 454 Restore energy: 13,3% ~ 61,3% | Critical attacks have a 60-100% chance to create elemental particles that restore 6 energy. The effect works every 12-6 seconds. | Pretty weak damage variant due to low base attack but it makes up for it with a huge amount of energy regen. If Beidou - the only Electro hero in the team, it is better to choose this particular sword, as it will solve all possible problems with energy. |
 Sacrificial Greatsword⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 44 ~ 565 Restore energy: 6,7% ~ 30,6% | Elemental skill hits have a 40%~80% chance to restore their own cooldown. May occur once every 30~16 seconds. | A weaker alternative to Favonius' Greatsword. It will give less energy recovery, and instead of additional energy spheres, it will roll back the elemental skill. However, the base attack of the weapon is higher, so more pure damage will come out with this sword. |
Best Artifacts
Artifacts for Beidou, like weapons, must be selected based on her needs in stats. To achieve maximum effectiveness, the heroine is recommended not only to collect a full set, but also carefully select the characteristics in the substats. The best options would be sets for energy recovery, a bonus to damage from an ult, as well as for strengthening reactions and electro damage.
| Name | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 Emblem of Severed Fate⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Energy recovery +20% 4 parts: Increases elemental explosion damage by an amount equal to 25% of the amount of energy regeneration. The effect can be increased to a maximum of 75%. | The best choice for bei dou. It is advisable to aim for a full set, as it enhances the main source of Beidou damage. - an explosion of elements, and also facilitates the collection of energy for activation on a rollback. |
 Noblesse Oblige⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases elemental explosion damage by 20%. 4 parts: Activating an elemental explosion increases the attack power of all party members by 20% for 12 seconds. | Will increase the damage of Beidou's ult and increase the attack power of allies. A good option in the absence of attack power buffers in the team. |
 Calming thunder⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Electrical resistance +40%. 4 parts: Increases damage against enemies affected by Electro by 35%. | Simultaneously increases damage from all skills when the condition is met. The set will only trigger in-game from the Charged or Stimulated reactions, as only Hydro and Dendro status can be on the enemy at the same time along with Electro for the set effect to activate. |
 Thundering Fury⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Electro Damage +15%. 4 parts: Increases the damage of the Overload, Charged, Superconductor, and Vegetation reactions by 40%. Aggravate reaction damage is increased by 20%. Activating any of these reactions reduces the cooldown of an elemental skill by 1 second. The effect triggers every 0,8 seconds. | The second part of the effect from 4 pieces (E-shki cooldown reduction) will not work from the pocket, therefore, from the full set, Beidou will only receive an increase in elemental reactions. It is advisable to look for energy restoration in the stats of artifacts in order to provide an ult on rollback. |
 Gilded Dreams⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Elemental Mastery +80 points. 4 parts: After calling the elemental reaction, the character receives a buff for 8 seconds. For each hero of their element in the squad, they get 14% attack power, and for each owner of a different element - 50 elemental mastery points. The effect works no more than once every 1 seconds and can appear even if the owner of the set is not on the battlefield. | Beidou doesn't need Elemental Mastery in large numbers, as she doesn't often close reactions, but still this stat will benefit her. Also, the set will close the problems with attack power, allowing you to concentrate on restoring energy in substats. |
| Thundering Fury / Gladiator’s Finale / Shimenawa's Reminiscence ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Electro Damage +15%. 2 parts: Attack Power +18%. | Good 2+2 effects with clock or weapon energy regeneration to make up for the low amount of attack. |
| Thundering Fury / Emblem of Severed Fate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Electro Damage +15%. 2 parts: Energy recovery +20% | Suitable for the first time. It will make it easier to set the ult and increase its damage. |
Squads for Beidou
Beidou is a handy character who can join various teams as a sub-dd. Since she specializes in pocket damage, Beidou units should contain a main damage dealer and supports. When picking up allies, keep in mind that the heroine's ult is only triggered by normal and charged attacks, so it does not work with those whose damage is considered elemental explosion damage or elemental skills (for example, Raiden or Nile).
Best characters
We will analyze in detail the heroes who perform well in Beidou teams.
damage dealers
Characters that will deal the main damage in the group:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
 Cyno |  electro |  A spear | Main main dd. Beidou will not only close the Electro Resonance when played with it, but will also boost Saino's damage output with C6 by lowering the Electro Resistance of the enemies. |
 Fischl |  electro |  Bow | The best Electro partner for Beidou. It also deals damage from the pocket and will help in pumping energy to activate the ult. |
 Yae Miko |  electro |  Catalyst | Can play as a second sub-dd and main damage dealer. It has an expensive ult, so it is suitable for Beidou with Akuomaru's weapon. |
 Tignari |  Dendro | Bow | Beidou's ultimate mechanic allows her to be activated through charged attacks, so Tignari plays well with her on Stimulation teams. |
 Al-Haytham |  Dendro |  One handed sword | Dendro damageer. Has a long stance that matches well with Bay Dou's ultimate. |
 Nahida | Dendro | Catalyst | Driver and pocket damage dealer. He plays well through Stimulation, and due to the Electro element he receives a buff to reduce the interval of the E-shki. |
 Xingqiu |  Hydro | One handed sword | Hydro sub-dd. The ult reduces damage taken and heals when it expires. If Bay Dou has C1, in the same team with him and Bay Dou, you can play without a healer or shield. |
 Ayato | Hydro | One handed sword | Hydro main-DD, able to deal damage with normal attacks and ults. |
 Furina | Hydro | One handed sword | If Beidou has C1 and plays carefully, a team with Furina can do without a healer, giving a slot for an additional damage dealer or buffer. The shield and counterattacks will reduce incoming damage, and Hydro Archon will heal if necessary by changing pneumus. |
 Neuvillette |  Hydro | Catalyst | Beidou's ult is triggered by the hits of a charged attack, so it works with Nevillet's skills. The shield from C1 will improve resistance to interruption, which will make the game more comfortable. |
 Mona | Hydro | Catalyst | Will increase damage due to Omen and aggro enemies on himself, increasing the survivability of the team. |
 Yoimiya |  Pyro | Bow | One of the few Pyro damage dealers that plays well with Electro due to the shooting mechanic. |
 Wanderer |  Anemo | Catalyst | Anemo damage dealer. Thanks to Beidou, not only will he be able to block the Dispel reaction, but also a buff from the Electro Element. |
 Eola |  Cryo |  Two-handed sword | Phys. damage dealer with cryo element. Bay Dou will provide a reaction to the Superconductor, increasing Eola's damage. |
Sapports
Heroes needed to strengthen the squad, such as distributing shields or healing:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
 Kazuha |  Anemo | One handed sword | Increases Electro damage, providing a significant increase in damage, and also groups enemies. |
 Sucrose | Anemo | Catalyst | Will increase the skill of the elements, on C6 it will also increase the damage through the ult. Can play as a driver. |
 Lan Yan | Anemo | Catalyst | Beidou with constellations does not need a shield, but Lan Yan can serve as a good driver for her elemental burst. |
 Zhongli |  Geo | A spear | Will provide the team with a shield and cut off the resistance of enemies to the Electro element. |
 Bennett |  Pyro | One handed sword | Will heal and buff on attack power. Thanks to the mechanics of Bay Dou's ult, the buff will not disappear even after Bennet's field disappears or the heroine herself goes into her pocket. |
 Bai Zhu | Dendro | Catalyst | Will heal the unit and increase reaction damage for the active character. |
 Kokomi |  Hydro | Catalyst | In addition to healing, it will give a lot of Hydro status for the Charged reaction. Can wear Dragon Slayer Epic and set Millelite durabilityto buff attack power. |
 Dory | electro | Two-handed sword | Restores energy to the active character, which is useful for Beidou and her expensive ultimate. |
 Shilonen |  Geo | One handed sword | Occupies two roles at the same time: healer and debuffer. |
Top Teams
Some examples of Beidou units based on the above characters:
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Al-Haytham Tignari |  Beidou |  Fischl |  Yao YaoBai Zhu | Team with Electro and Dendro resonances. Bay Dou and Fischl deal passive damage and pump energy to each other. Yao Yao/Bai Zhu heal and buff Dendro damage. In this unit on Beidou, the sword works well Forest Regalia. |
| Cyno | Beidou |  Xingqiu Ye Lan | Yao YaoBai Zhu | Detachment from Vegetation and Stimulation. Dendro support, who also needs to be a healer or shielder, performs the Budding reaction along with Hydro sub-dd. Saino detonates the Dendro Core. Beidou helps in gaining energy and defends against strong blows with counterattacks. |
| Yae Miko | Beidou |  KokomiShilonen |  Kazuha Venti | Yae Miko is the main damage dealer. Kokomi attacks with constant Hydro damage due to the jellyfish, helping to create a reaction Charged, but it can be replaced with Shilonen. Kazuha buffs the damage of both elements, and his ult is best inflated into Hydro to get more elemental skill. Beidou damages from the pocket. |
| Sucrose | Beidou | Fischl | Xingqiu | Command from reaction Dispel and Charge with epic heroes. Replacing Sucrose with another Anemo hero or Xingqiu with Ye Lan is undesirable, as either the damage of the team due to the loss of blows or its survivability will suffer from this. |
| Yoimiya | Beidou | Fischl |  Bennett | Team from Overload with Eimiya. Due to the fact that Eimiya moves back while shooting and does not need close range with enemies, repulsion of opponents will not worsen the comfort of the game. Pyro Resonance will increase the attack power of the entire squad, and Electro will make it easier to activate elemental explosions. |
 Klee  Yanfei | Beidou | Venti |  Bennett Thoma | Team with Pyro Resonance from Overdrive. Venti is indispensable in this team, since only his ult can hold enemies, preventing them from scattering. Pyro damage catalyst attacks enemies under the protection of a support and Bei Doe lightning. |
| Eola | Beidou |  Mika Yun Jin |  Dory Cookies | Team with physical Electro elemental damage dealer. Beidou helps with the creation of the Superconductor reaction, and with C1, it makes it easier to play thanks to the presence of a shield. In 3rd place, you can put almost any buffer or sub-dd, and between Dory or Kuki, Dory is preferable due to the mechanics of energy recovery during healing. |
 Keqing | Beidou |  Nahida Collei | Bai Zhu Cookies | Team with Electro damageer. Beidou helps to attack, Dendro character provides Stimulation reaction to increase damage. On slot 4, you can take any shield or healer, but preferably Electro or Dendro of the elements. |
| Beidou | XingqiuYe Lan |  Albedo |  ZhongliShilonen | A team with Geo Resonance that works like a revolver. Zhongli/Shilonen protects the team and cuts down enemy resistance, Albedo deals damage from the pocket and buffs elemental mastery. Beidou and Hydro damager attack. |
Wanderer Heizou | Beidou |  Faruzan | Kokomi Barbara | Beidou is badly needed in this squad Favonia's two-handed sword, since she is the only Electro elemental hero in the squad and may experience problems with ult activation. Wanderer/Heizo attacks on the field, and the character on the 4th slot adds Hydro status for reactions and heals. |
| Neuvillette | Furina | Beidou | FischlYae Miko | Team with Hydro and Electro resonance. Thanks to the shield from Beidou, Furina's healing when switching from Arche to Usia (she should be in Pneuma state most of the time) and Nevilleth's self-healing, this squad doesn't really need a healer. If you still have problems with survivability, it is advisable to put it in slot 4 Dory or Cookies. |
 Lisa | Beidou | Collei | Barbara | Free squad. Lisa and Beidou help each other with activating ultimates, Collei deals passive damage and provides Dendro status for Stimulation and Vegetation reactions. Barbara heals and adds Hydro. |
How to play Beidou
Bay Dou, being a sub-dd, enters the battlefield only to burn out his skills and go back into his pocket. Despite this, her elemental skill remains very useful and is able not only to pump up energy for the ult, but also to deal good damage. Try to perform the perfect counterattack by releasing the held E-shka immediately after the enemy attacks in order to fulfill the Beidou passive condition and speed up the accumulation of stacks.
After application elemental explosion switch to the main damage dealer and attack with normal or charged attacks to trigger the ult. The ability is very useful when fighting against crowds of opponents, however, it partially loses its effectiveness against bosses. Despite the large range of the ult (for example, Yoimiya or Yanfei can easily cause Overload while standing away from enemies), chain lightning only jumps between enemies located close to each other.
Also take into account the fact that Beidou's ultimate has a snapshot mechanic, that is, it "remembers" the character's characteristics when the skill is activated and retains them throughout the duration. This means that you first need to distribute all the buffs and only after that, before switching to the main damage dealer, activate the Bay Dou ult under all the boosts.
Rotation
The Bay Dou rotation is quite simple, like many other sub-dds:
- Use the abilities of supports to accumulate energy, distribute shields and the necessary buffs. If the team has Electro allies, then catch Electro Energy Orbs with Beidou to fill up the ult faster.
- Switch to Beidou and activate her elemental blast.
- Switch to the main damage dealer and attack with it from the hand while the Bay Dou ult and buffs from the supports are in effect. If the enemy is about to make a painful blow during the battle, switch to Beidou and counterattack.
- Repeat from the first point, periodically using the Beidou skill to restore energy and additional damage.
Сonclusion
Beidou is a great 4⭐ character who will successfully take the position of sub-dps in squads through reactions with the Electro element. Despite the simplicity of her mechanic, she is able to bring a lot of benefits to the team and deal good damage. However, Beidou is quite difficult to build as it requires a careful balance of stats and a set of energy recovery without loss of damage, so it can be difficult to unlock the heroine's full potential at early levels.
