Welcome, Travelers! If you’ve been exploring Teyvat and enjoying the satisfying clang of a perfectly timed counter-attack, chances are you’ve met the formidable Captain of The Crux, Beidou. This 4-star Electro powerhouse is criminally underrated, often overshadowed by 5-star Electro units, but when built correctly, Beidou can single-handedly decimate groups of enemies with her incredible Burst damage.
This comprehensive Genshin Guide will dive deep into everything you need to know about optimizing your Beidou build, from understanding her unique kit to selecting the best weapons, artifacts, and team compositions. Get ready to transform this sea-faring warrior into an unstoppable force!
Why Beidou Still Reigns Supreme in Genshin Impact
Before we get into the numbers, let's appreciate why Beidou is such a fantastic unit. Her kit revolves entirely around her Elemental Skill, Tidecaller, and her Elemental Burst, Stormbreaker.
Tidecaller allows her to absorb incoming damage and unleash a devastating counter-attack scaled on the damage she absorbed. It’s a high-skill, high-reward mechanic.
However, the real star is Stormbreaker. When activated, Beidou gains a shield and unleashes coordinated Electro attacks whenever her active party member performs a Normal or Charged Attack. Crucially, these coordinated attacks scale incredibly well, especially at C2, and are powerful enough to act as significant off-field damage.
Her primary weaknesses are Energy Recharge (ER) requirements, as her Burst costs 80 energy, and her reliance on being hit or actively using her Skill to start generating damage. Our build strategy will focus on mitigating these issues.
Beidou's Ascent: Constellation Breakdown
While a good Beidou build works at C0, her power spikes significantly at certain constellations. Understanding these will help you prioritize your wishes:
C0 (Baseline): Very functional, especially as an Electro shield/Sub-DPS.
C2 (The Game Changer): This is arguably her most important constellation. Stormbreaker now reduces the Electro RES of enemies hit by its coordinated attack by 15%. This is a massive damage multiplier for Electro setups.
C4: Increases her Normal Attack DMG, which is a nice bonus if you plan on driving her Burst with on-field Normal Attacks, but not essential for pure off-field DPS.
C6 (The Ultimate Power Up): Increases the maximum number of coordinated attacks Stormbreaker can perform, significantly boosting her overall DPS ceiling.
Best Weapons for Beidou Builds
Weapon choice is vital for covering Beidou's Energy Recharge needs while maximizing her damage potential.
1. The Five-Star Kings
Mistsplitter Reforged (The Aesthetic Powerhouse)
While primarily a Crit DMG stat stick, Mistsplitter is amazing if you already have ER needs covered by artifacts or teammates. The high base ATK and Crit DMG substat make her damage numbers soar.
Skyward Pride (The ER Solution)
This is arguably Beidou’s best 5-star option if you are struggling with ER. The high Base ATK and a massive 36% Energy Recharge secondary stat solve her energy problems immediately, allowing you to focus solely on Crit and ATK% in your artifacts. The passive also adds a nice burst of damage.
2. The Four-Star Champions
Sacrificial Greatsword (The Skill Cycle Enabler)
This weapon is fantastic for enabling Beidou to use her Skill more frequently and generate more energy particles. If you are running an early-game or mid-game build and need reliable energy generation alongside Skill use, this is excellent. It significantly lowers the pressure on her Burst cost.
Favonius Greatsword (The Team Battery)
If your entire team (especially the on-field DPS) struggles with energy, Favonius Greatsword makes Beidou the ultimate team battery. The high base ER secondary stat combined with the passive particle generation is invaluable for enabling quick rotations.
The Catch (The F2P Godsend)
Obtainable through fishing, The Catch offers a strong boost to both Burst DMG and Crit Rate against enemies affected by Hydro (which is common when paired with Hydro units). It’s the best free-to-play option for maximizing her Burst damage output.
Tidal Shadow (The Forgeable Contender)
If you need an alternative forgeable weapon, Tidal Shadow offers a significant ATK% boost, provided you have a healer on the team to maintain the shield requirement.
Artifact Sets: Choosing the Right Storm
Beidou’s artifact selection usually hinges on whether you need more Energy Recharge or if you can hit her ER thresholds easily.
1. The Top Tier (Off-Field DPS Focus)
4-Piece Emblem of Severed Fate (The Gold Standard)
This set is tailor-made for 80-cost Burst characters like Beidou.
2-Piece: +18% Energy Recharge.
4-Piece: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of your total Energy Recharge.
Why it works: By stacking ER (aiming for 200%+), you solve her energy issues and directly increase her main source of damage (Stormbreaker). This is the go-to set for most players.
2. The Sub-DPS Powerhouse
2-Piece Thundering Fury + 2-Piece Noblesse Oblige (Mixed Option)
If you are playing her C0 or C1 and find your ER needs are met, this combination offers a nice bump to Electro DMG (Thundering Fury) and Burst DMG (Noblesse Oblige). It’s slightly less specialized than Emblem but provides excellent raw damage stats.
4-Piece Thundering Fury (The Skill Specialist)
This set enhances her Elemental Skill damage by 40% and reduces its cooldown when it triggers an Electro-related reaction. This is only recommended if you are determined to play her as a highly active counter-attacker, which is often less efficient than maximizing Stormbreaker uptime.
3. Early to Mid-Game Options
2-Piece Noblesse Oblige + 2-Piece Gladiator/Shimenawa’s Reminiscence
Good placeholder sets that provide ATK% and Burst DMG until you can farm a complete 4-piece Emblem set.
Artifact Main Stats and Substats Priority
Regardless of the set you choose, the main stats you seek on the artifacts are consistent:
| Artifact Piece | Main Stat Priority |
| :--- | :--- |
| Flower | HP (Fixed) |
| Feather | ATK (Fixed) |
| Sands | Energy Recharge% (If needed) OR ATK% (If ER is sufficient) |
| Goblet | Electro DMG Bonus% |
| Circlet | Crit Rate% or Crit DMG% (Balance needed) |
Substat Priority:
1. Crit Rate / Crit DMG (Aim for 1:2 ratio)
2. Energy Recharge% (Until you hit ~180-200% ER)
3. ATK%
A Critical Note on Crit: Beidou’s Burst attacks can critically hit. You need a healthy Crit Rate (ideally 60%+ before buffs) to make her damage consistent. If using The Catch or other Crit Rate buffs, you can lean more into Crit DMG substats.
Energy Recharge Requirements: The Magic Number
This is the most crucial part of building Beidou. Because Stormbreaker costs 80 energy and lasts 15 seconds, you need enough ER to fire it off consistently every rotation (usually 18-20 seconds).
If using Favonius/Skyward Pride/High ER Focus: Aim for 160% – 180% ER.
If using ATK% Sands (or a low ER weapon): You may need 200% – 240% ER, often requiring ER substats on nearly every piece.
