BEIDOU BUILDS / STRATEGY
HP | ATK | ATK% | ELECTRO% | CD%/CR%
Main DPS: If you want to use her as a main you’ll need as much ATK, CD, CR, and Electro DMG, and EM as possible. Adding ER on her is nice to get her burst back up more quickly.
Support: This build is more widely used. She needs Enery Rechard, Electro DMG, and EM followed by ATK, CR, and CD. Build her to get her burst up sooner and for good elemental reactions then focus on adding damage.
These are also general recommendations, you will need to alter your artifacts and stat builds based on what content you want to use this character for and what team you are using him/her with, however, these are consider among the best claymore for Beidou. A general rule for DPS units are CR is roughly 50% of your CD.
BEIDOU CONSTELLATIONS

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Beidou is a really strong support and DPS character in Genshin Impact!
- Her E allows you to counter for big damage and can protect you.
- Her burst jumps between enemies for lots of additional damage.
- She is great for mining ores and reducing stamina consumption which is really good for your traveling team.
WEAKNESSES
- Her E counter takes practice and precision to work correctly.
- She doesn’t pair well with Pyro types since the elemental reaction knocks back enemies which can get annoying to chase down.
RANKING
Combat Rating (7/10): She does require practice to get used to her E, but it’s worth learning.
Exploration (10/10): She not only is a claymore which is great for mining ores etc. but also reduces stamina which makes her super efficient to explore the map.
Spiral Abyss (9/10): Her burst is really strong and bounces around enemies which is great for mobs and faster clearing in this content.
Artifact Farming (9/10): She has a similiar role here as she does in Spiral Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (5/10): She’s decent here however there are better characters to quickly clear the boss fights since there’s not a lot of enemies it doesn’t utilitze her burst to it’s fullest potential.
