As Genshin Impact continues to grow and expand, the game continues to release new characters into the game with their own special abilities. That doesn’t take away the fact that some old characters can still shine in Genshin Impact. Beidou, for example, wields the claymore and specializes in Electro DMG counterattacks and a decent off-field DMG. This effectively makes her a powerful team member and a good fit in many team compositions. With the correct Beidou build in Genshin Impact, players can easily master this character, here are some tips on the best loadout.
Updated on October 26, 2022, by Nahda Nabiilah: Beidou is one of those characters that players can slap in any team comp, and they’ll perform. Of course, in order for that to work, Beidou has to be built with the right set of artifacts and the right Claymore. Since the game now expands into the region of Sumeru and Dendro, the item collection grow to include more artifacts and Claymores. For that, this article should be updated to keep Beidou’s build up to date.
Best Beidou Artifacts In Genshin Impact
There are multiple ways players can build Beidou in Genshin Impact:
- Off-field Support/Sub-DPS
- Off-field Electro-Charged and Quicken
- Shielder
Off-field Support/Sub-DPS Beidou
Best Artifacts:
- 4-Noblesse Oblige
- 4-Emblem of Severed Fate
- 2-Thundering Fury and 2-Noblesse Oblige
- 2-Thundering Fury and +18% ATK
Artifacts Main Stats:
- ATK%
- Electro DMG
- CRIT DMG/Rate
The best option for Beidou is to operate her as an off-field Sub-DPS that can spread her Electro DMG all over the battlefield while another character reaps the benefits. Having 4-Noblesse Oblige allows Beidou to perfectly take that role while boosting her team’s ATK by 20%. It’s crucial since it gives her a supportive ability to complement her kit.
For players that want to go full DMG on Beidou’s Stormbreaker, go with 4-Emblem of Severed Fate since it grants her a crazy amount of DMG on her Elemental Burst based on her Energy Recharge, which is another Genshin Impact stat she badly needs to keep her Burst active. Players can also go with 2-Thundering Fury for 15% Electro DMG, and 2-Noblesse Oblige for 20% Burst DMG. If not Noblesse then choose one of the artifacts that add 18% ATK, such as Gladiator's Finale, Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Vermillion Hereafter, and Echoes of an Offering.
Off-field Electro-charged and Quicken Beidou
Best Artifacts:
- 2-Gilded Dreams and 2-Wanderer’s Troupe
- 4-Thundering Fury
Artifacts Main Stats:
- Elemental Mastery
- Elemental Mastery (Electro-Charged) or Electro DMG (Quicken)
- Elemental Mastery (Electro-Charged) or CRIT DMG/Rate (Quicken)
Beidou can also trigger an endless amount of Electro-charged, Quicken, and Aggravate reactions when off-field. For Electro-Charged, ATK% doesn’t help as Beidou only needs more Elemental Mastery to increase her Reaction DMG. For that, 2-Gilded Dreams and 2-Wanderer’s Troupe are Beidou's best artifact options since they grant her 160 Elemental Mastery. Players can also go for 4-Thundering Fury to add 40% extra DMG on her Electro Reactions and 20% DMG on her Dendro Reactions in Genshin Impact.
However, if players are playing Beidou in a Quicken team with Dendro characters, then she will still need Electro DMG Bonus and Critical Rate or DMG.
Shielder Beidou
Best Artifacts:
- 2-Emblem of Severed Fate and 2-Tenacity of the Millelith
Artifacts Main Stats:
- HP%
- HP%
- HP%
Beidou gets a decent shield on her first Constellation in Genshin Impact. That shield help protect her team from incoming DMG, especially the Electro hits. It scales with her Max HP so stacking her HP is crucial to maximizing the shield's DMG absorption. Only 2-Tenacity of the Millelith passive grants 20% extra HP for its character while 2-Emblem of Severed Fate enhances Beidou’s Energy Recharge by 20%, which will help Beidou cast her Elemental Burst more frequently. This build is not very recommended as there are better shielders, but it works decently if players insists on doing it.
Best Beidou Weapons In Genshin Impact
Beidou’s best weapons also differentiate based on her artifact build, leading to a variety of Claymores she can wield in Genshin Impact.
- Wolf’s Gravestone
- Redhorn Stonethresher
- The Unforged
- Serpent Spine
- Skyward Pride
- Lithic Blade
- Akuoumaru
- R5 Luxurious Sea Lord
- Blackcliff Slasher
- Rainslasher
- R5 Forest Regalia
- The Bell
- Ferrous Shadow
- Prototype Archaic
Off-field Support/Sub-DPS Beidou
Since the main focus for Sub-DPS Beidou is to stack as much ATK% as possible on her, it’s best to use Wolf’s Gravestone to add all the extra ATK% the Claymore offers. In addition, Wolf’s Gravestone grants Beidou’s team in Genshin Impact a whopping 40% extra ATK% when she hits an enemy under 30% HP.
Akuoumaru and Luxurious Sea Lord are strong 4-star options since they buff her Elemental Burst, which will be what Beidou will count on in this build. Finally, for F2P, go for Blackcliff Slasher since its CRIT DMG substat gives Beidou more DMG to work with.
Off-field Electro-Charge and Quicken Beidou
When building Beidou fully to trigger Reactions, Rainslasher is an outstanding pick because of its 165 Elemental Mastery substat that further stacks more of that stat on Beidou. Players can also go for an R5 Forest Regalia to benefit from its Energy Recharge substat and the Leaf of Consciousness that buffs the character’s Elemental mastery who picked it up by 120. The new Sumeru Forgeable weapons in Genshin Impact finally have more presence in the current Meta.
Shielder Beidou
For shielder build, Beidou should wield for The Bell or Ferrous Shadow to maximize her HP% and further empower her ability to shield her team.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
