Beidou is the brave and intimidating captain of the Crux Fleet in Genshin Impact, and she’s not one for following laws (much to Ningguang’s chagrin). Beidou may be more comfortable at sea than she is on land, but she still holds her own within your party line-up. She’s a high-burst damage dealer if you can pull off her counterattack, punishing enemies with her Electro and claymore attacks.

Beidou Build Suggestions in Genshin Impact

Beidou can deliver some hurt, but that pain is contingent on how well you can pull off the counterattack from her Elemental Skill, Tidecaller. Her first constellation turns her Burst, Stormbreaker, into a potent shield, allowing her to use Tidecaller with fewer risks. These two abilities combined make Beidou a deadly “punisher” type damage dealer in Genshin Impact: you’ll want to swap out to her when Stormbreaker is ready to cast, then swiftly counter with Tidecaller to open up a ten-second window of devastation.

Since Beidou works best as a dedicated Electro damage dealer, you’ll want weapons that boost attack. The best 5-star for Beidou in Genshin Impact is the Wolf’s Gravestone, which adds a flat percentage increase to attack without having to do anything to trigger it. You can only earn it via gacha pulls, however, so if you want to save money and Primogems you can safely equip the Prototype Archaic, a craftable 4-star, instead.

• Wolf’s Gravestone: Increases attack by 20% (up to 40%). On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ attack by 40% (up to 80%) for 12s. Can only occur once every 30s. Secondary: Attack.
• Prototype Archaic: On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks have a 50% chance to deal an additional 240% (up to 480%) attack damage to opponents within a small AoE. Can only occur once every 15s. Secondary: Attack.

The Gladiator’s Finale artifact set in Genshin Impact is damn near tailor-made for Beidou, though you can pair it with Bloodstained Chivalry if you prefer a flat Physical damage increase over a boost to Normal Attack damage. Look for attack percentage rolls, followed by crit rate and crit hit. Electro and Physical damage are not terrible rolls, but they shouldn’t be prioritized.

• Gladiator’s Finale (Elite Bosses and Weekly Bosses at World Level 2+)
  • (2) Attack +18%.
  • (4) If the wielder of this artifact set uses a Sword, Claymore or Polearm, increases their Normal Attack damage by 35%.
• Bloodstained Chivalry (Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern)
  • (2) Physical damage +25%.
