Why Is Beidou The Top Sub-DPS?

The Elemental burst of Beidou - Stormbreaker - deal high Electro DMG when she is off-field. Therefore, she lets other on-field DMG dealers like Alhaitham stay on-field and combat. In addition, Beidou does not require a high constellation level to be strong. Beginners can try to unlock Beidou C2. But it's very easy for Genshin veterans to unlock Beidou C6.

Beidou is the best sub-DPS for Dendro teams now.

A Beidou C6 with a level-13 elemental burst can shoot Electro arrows dealing 1020% DMG to the opponents every second. Her Stormbreaker lasts 15 seconds. Therefore, the sub-DPS can deal 15300% to enemies during the active duration of her elemental burst.

The release of the Dendro element with four new reactions of Dendro, Electro, and other elements make her more helpful and powerful in Genshin Impact.

She can trigger Dendro-based reactions.

Best Artifacts For Beidou

Remember that Beidou's strength is her elemental burst. Therefore, you need to build her Energy Recharge to charge this ultimate skill. Players can use Fischl as an Electro battery for Beidou's team. Then, equip the following artifacts for this sub-DPS.
  • The 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate set is the best option for Beidou's burst.
  • Mix 2 pieces of Thundering Fury/2 pieces of Noblesse Oblige/2 pieces of Emblem of Severed Fate with 2 pieces of any artifact sets that buff 18% ATK.
Emblem of Severed Fate is the best artifact for Beidou.
  • The artifact set of 4-piece Thunder­soother buffs her DMG if you use Beidou to maintain the Electro aura in Electro-charged and Aggravate teams. Beidou is one of the best Electro characters for Aggravate team.
  • You should equip 4 pieces of Thundering Fury for Beidou only when she plays in the Aggravate team. It lets her use the elemental skill more frequently, increase her survival ability, reduce the energy demand, and deal higher DMG to targets.
Thundering Fury is an ideal option for Beidou in Aggravate team.

If you do not have enough recommended artifacts, choose alternative ones that contribute to her ATK, Electro DMG, and Crit Rate.

Best Weapons For Beidou

Beidou is the Claymore wielder. You should give her one of the following Claymore to buff important stats for Beidou.

  • Serpent Spine with level-5 refinement is the best weapon for Beidou in the sub-DPS role.
  • Wolf's Gravestone is the best weapon if Beidou does not get much ATK from teammates and artifacts.
Beidou can deal tons of DMG to enemies with a Serpent Spine.
  • Akuoumaru is a replacement for Serpent Spine on a team with high Elemental Burst DMG.
  • Skyward Pride has high ATK and Energy Recharge stats. Therefore, it's good for Beidou if Fischl is not on her team.
  • Luxurious Sea-Lord is an ideal free-to-play weapon for this character if you can't afford other Claymore.
Beidou can support Nahida in her Bloom and Aggravate teams.

Besides, Rainslasher and Prototype Archaic are affordable for most Genshin Impact players. You should build Beidou for Alhaitham, Nahida, and Baizhu's teams. Beidou can apply Electro continuously when she is off-field with her Stormbreaker.
