Beidou’s Legendary Build

Beidou Build and Team Guide

This Beidou build focuses on her role as a powerful Electro Sub-DPS capable of dealing massive damage through her unique parry mechanics and burst scaling. She excels in multi-target scenarios within the current Abyss meta, provided her high energy requirements are met through proper gearing and team batteries.

Best Weapons

• Serpent Spine: This is often considered the best weapon for Beidou due to its high Crit Rate substat and damage-increasing passive. It significantly boosts her personal damage in quickswap rotations where she can maintain stacks easily.
• Wolf's Gravestone: A top-tier choice that provides a massive amount of Attack percentage for the entire team. It is particularly effective for increasing Beidou's burst damage while supporting other sub-DPS units during combat.
• Skyward Pride: This claymore is excellent for meeting high Energy Recharge needs while providing a high base attack. It helps stabilize her burst uptime, which is crucial for her performance in most team comps.
• Katsuragikiri Nagamasa: A great F2P option that focuses on energy regeneration through its passive and substat. It allows Beidou to function as a consistent battery and burst dealer without requiring perfect artifact substats.

Best Artifacts

• Emblem of Severed Fate: This is the definitive best artifact set for Beidou because it converts Energy Recharge into Elemental Burst damage. Since she requires high energy to function, this set provides the most efficient scaling for her kit.
• 2-piece Energy Recharge and 2-piece Electro Damage: This alternative configuration is useful when a full set of Emblem is unavailable. It provides a balanced mix of stats to help reach energy targets while maintaining respectable Electro damage output.

Teams and Stat Priorities

• Stat Priorities: Focus on reaching an Energy Recharge target of 170% to 200% to ensure burst uptime. Maintain a 1:2 ratio for Crit Rate and Crit Damage while prioritizing Attack percentage on the Sands or substats.
• Aggravate and Hyperbloom: This team utilizes Beidou alongside Nahida and Xingqiu to trigger powerful Dendro reactions. Beidou provides defensive utility and Electro application without stealing blooms, making her a safe pick for these high-damage archetypes.
• Taser Team: A classic composition featuring Beidou, Fischl, and an Anemo driver like Kazuha or Scaramouche. This setup relies on Electro-Charged reactions and Beidou's burst bounces to clear groups of enemies rapidly.
• Overvape Team: By combining Beidou with Bennett, Xingqiu, and Xiangling, you create a chaotic mix of Overload and Vaporize reactions. Beidou benefits from Bennett's attack buff, which snapshots onto her Elemental Burst for its entire duration.
