As a 4-Star Electro character inGenshin Impact, Beidou is an exceptional Sub-DPS to have on your team. She can help create Elemental Reactions and deal significant damage through her Elemental Burst.
Beidou’s Best Build & Artifact Sets
In the Sub-DPS role for Beidou, you’ll want to focus most of your attention onusing her Elemental Burst.This is where she will deal the most damage on and off-field, allowing the Main DPS of your team to take over and create an Elemental Reaction. This meansEnergy Recharge will be an important stat to focus onwhen picking the right artifact set for Beidou. Here’s what we suggest.
4-Set Of Emblem Of Severed Fate
A 2-Set of Emblem of Severed Fate will give Beidou an increase of 20 percent to her Energy Recharge. Its 4-Set will increase Elemental Burst DMG by 25 percent of her Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75 percent Bonus DMG can be obtained this way. This set is the most ideal for Beidou, as it will focus mainly onbuffing her Elemental Burst and keeping her Energy Recharge high to make it always available.As you build up each piece in your set, here are the main stats and substats you should choose.
Sands of Eon
Energy Recharge or ATK%
Energy Recharge, ATK%, CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, HP%
Goblet of Eonothem
Electro DMG Bonus
Circlet Logos
CRIT DMG or CRIT Rate
Energy Recharge will be an important stat to build on to make Beidou’s Elemental Burst readily available. Depending on what weapon you choose for her, though,we suggest going with ATK for Sands of Eon instead if you already have high Energy Recharge.CRIT Stats will be important for Beidou’s damage as well, andHP can be used to build up her shielding capabilitiesfrom her Elemental Skill.

Beidou’s Best 5-Star & 4-Star Weapons
With Beidou being an Elemental Burst-focused character, there are a few different stats you’ll want to lean towards with her weapon.This includes Energy Recharge, ATK%, or CRIT Stats, depending on what you are lacking in your artifact build.Below, we’ve gone over some of the best choices for her.
5-Star Weapons: Wolf’s Gravestone & Skyward Pride
Wolf’s Gravestone will give Beidou a base increase of 10.8 percent to her ATK. Its Bonus Skill will increase her ATK further by 20 percent. On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30 percent HP increases all party members' ATK by 40 percent for 12 seconds. Can only occur once every 30 seconds.Wolf’s Gravestone is the perfect option if you’re looking to boost Beidou’s ATK stat more. It will increase the damage output from her Normal and Charged Attacks.
Skyward Pride will give a base increase of 8 percent to Beidou’s Energy Recharge. Its Bonus Skill will increase all DMG by 8 percent. After Beidou uses her Elemental Burst, Normal, or Charged Attack, on hit, it will create a vacuum blade that does 80 percent of ATK as DMG to enemies along its path. This will last for 20 seconds or 8 vacuum blades. Skyward Pride will give Beidou a large boost to her Energy Recharge, allowing her Elemental Burst to be often available.Along with this, Beidou will receive anextra damage buff with the vacuum bladesfrom the Skyward Pride. It’s a great weapon to have for her to increase her most important stats.
4-Star Weapons: Serpent Spine & Katsuragikiri Nagamasa
Serpent Spine will give Beidou a base increase of 6 percent to her CRIT Rate. Its Bonus Skill will give a character 6 percent more DMG and take 3 percent more DMG every 4 seconds that they are on the field. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and won’t be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.Though the Serpent Spine is only available through the Battle Pass, it is worth it due to its superior CRIT stats. It will increase Beidou’s overall DMG significantly and allow her to create more CRIT Hits when on-field.
Katsuragikiri Nagamasa will give Beidou a base increase of 10 percent to her Energy Recharge. Its Bonus Skill will increase Elemental Skill DMG by 6 percent. After her Elemental Skill hits an enemy, she will lose 3 Energy but regenerate 3 Energy every 2 seconds for the next 6 seconds. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds, and can be triggered even when Beidou is not on the field.Katsuragikiri Nagamasa is a solid Free-to-Play weapon that can be crafted for Beidou. Though it is not the most ideal choice due to its buff to Beidou’s Elemental Skill rather than her Elemental Burst, it is still a solid option and will keep her Energy Recharge high.
