Beidou — Build, Teams & Rating Genshin 6.7

Is Beidou worth building?

Beidou is a strong 4-star Electro sub-DPS in Electro-Charged teams, where her Burst chains lightning off every hit her teammates land. She's energy-hungry (80-cost Burst), so a 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate is near-mandatory to both battery her and boost her Burst damage. Pair her with Fischl and Xingqiu for enough hits to proc her lightning. For weapons, the Battle Pass Serpent Spine is already plenty, no 5-star needed. Her downside: she wants the right team and careful Burst timing.

Stormbreaker

Recalling her slaying of the great beast Haishan, Beidou calls upon that monstrous strength and the lightning to create a Thunderbeast's Targe around herself, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents.

Thunderbeast's Targe
·When Normal and Charged Attacks hit, they create a lightning discharge that can jump between opponents, dealing Electro DMG.
·Increases the character's resistance to interruption, and decreases DMG taken.

A maximum of 1 lightning discharge can be triggered per second.

With a peal of thunder, Haishan is slain.

Retribution

Counterattacking with Tidecaller at the precise moment when the character is hit grants the maximum DMG Bonus.

·DMG dealt by Normal and Charged Attacks is increased by 15%. ATK SPD of Normal and Charged Attacks is increased by 15%.
·Greatly reduced delay before unleashing Charged Attacks.

Conqueror of Tides

Decreases swimming Stamina consumption for your own party members by 20%.
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.

Polaris

When holding down on the Elemental Skill Tidecaller, 1 stack of power will accumulate every 0.8s, even when not under attack. This increases the DMG dealt at the point of unleashing.
Additionally, holding down to unleash Tidecaller and hitting the opponent also gives extra boosts based on the power accumulated: every stack active decreases Beidou's Elemental Skill CD by 4s, as well as regenerates 8 Elemental Energy for her. This effect can trigger once every 15s.
Additionally, when inside a {LINK#N11330003}Polestar Field{/LINK}, Beidou will enter the Radiance: Stellar-Conduct state.
