Beidou is a 4-star Electro Claymore character. She normally deals off-field damage through Stormbreaker and can support Sandrone’s Stellar-Conduct teams.
Build at a glance: Emblem of Severed Fate (4), ER / ATK% Sands, Electro DMG Goblet, and CRIT Circlet. Prioritize ER until Burst is ready every rotation, then CRIT and ATK.
Talent priority: Burst > Skill. Normal Attack levels matter only when using Beidou on field. C2 improves her bouncing discharges against multiple targets; the additional Stellar-Conduct support buffs require C6.

Nothing to worry about. Should anyone raise a hand against her or her men, she will avenge it ten-fold with sword and thunder.
Press: Accumulating the power of lightning, Beidou swings her blade forward fiercely, dealing Electro DMG.
Hold: Lifts her weapon up as a shield. Max DMG absorbed scales off Beidou’s Max HP.
Attacks using the energy stored within the greatsword upon release or once this ability’s duration expires, dealing Electro DMG. DMG dealt scales with the number of times Beidou is attacked in the skill’s duration. The greatest DMG Bonus will be attained once this effect is triggered twice.

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:
Retribution
Learned at 1st Ascension
Counterattacking with Tidecaller at the precise moment when the character is hit grants the maximum DMG Bonus.
Lightning Storm
Learned at 4th Ascension
Gain the following effects for 10s after unleashing Tidecaller with its maximum DMG Bonus:
Conqueror of Tides
Utility Passive
Decreases swimming Stamina consumption for your party by 20%. Identical passive effects do not stack.
While holding Tidecaller, gain one power stack every 0.8 seconds even without taking a hit. Releasing the held Skill and hitting an opponent reduces its cooldown by 4 seconds and restores 8 Energy per power stack. This effect can trigger once every 15 seconds.
Inside a Polestar Field, Beidou enters Radiance: Stellar-Conduct. Hold Tidecaller long enough to gain stacks before releasing at an enemy; the Skill must hit to activate the Energy and cooldown effects.
Sea Beast’s Scourge
Beidou Constellation Level 1
When Stormbreaker is used:
Creates a shield that absorbs up to 16% of Beidou’s Max HP for 15s.
This shield absorbs Electro DMG 250% more effectively.
Upon the Turbulent Sea, the Thunder Arises
Beidou Constellation Level 2
Stormbreaker‘s arc lightning can jump to 2 additional targets.
Summoner of Storm
Beidou Constellation Level 3
Increases the Level of Tidecaller by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Stunning Revenge
Beidou Constellation Level 4
Upon being attacked, Beidou’s Normal Attacks gain an additional instance of 20% Electro DMG for 10s.
Crimson Tidewalker
Beidou Constellation Level 5
Increases the Level of Stormbreaker by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.
Bane of Evil
Beidou Constellation Level 6
While Stormbreaker is active, nearby opponents have 15% reduced Electro RES.
Radiance: Stellar-Conduct: While Stormbreaker is active in this state, nearby opponents also have 15% reduced Cryo RES and the active character gains 200 EM. These are C6 effects.
Maintain Stormbreaker every rotation, then improve its damage. The 80-Energy Burst makes ER valuable; exact needs depend on Tidecaller hits, Electro teammates and Favonius triggers.
Skyward Pride: ER option. Its vacuum blades require Beidou to attack on field; do not assume they trigger while she is off field.
Skyward Pride
Type:
Energy Recharge
Increases all DMG by 8/10/12/14/16%. After using an Elemental Burst, Normal or Charged Attack, on hit, creates a vacuum blade that does 80/100/120/140/160% Physical DMG to enemies along its path. Lasts for 20s or 8 vacuum blades.
Serpent Spine
Type:
CRIT Rate
Serpent Spine is a paid Battle Pass Claymore. Its CRIT Rate and damage stacks help Beidou, but taking damage removes a stack. Build stacks before the main damage window and keep enough ER from artifacts.
Emblem of Severed Fate (4) is the general off-field Burst set. Use ER / ATK% Sands, Electro DMG Goblet, and CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG Circlet. Substats: ER to sustain Burst, then CRIT and ATK%.
Stellar-Conduct support: Noblesse Oblige (4) and Favonius Greatsword can support Sandrone when no teammate already uses Noblesse. Use ER Sands as needed and sufficient CRIT Rate to trigger Favonius while Beidou is on field.
Emblem of Severed Fate
ER / ATK% · Electro DMG · CRIT
2-piece: Energy Recharge +20%.
4-piece: Elemental Burst DMG increases by 25% of ER, up to 75%.
Noblesse Oblige — team support
ER · Electro DMG · CRIT
2-piece: Elemental Burst DMG +20%.
4-piece: Using Burst grants all party members 20% ATK for 12 seconds. This buff does not stack with another copy of Noblesse Oblige.

Beidou Stellar-Conduct Team
Sandrone / Yae Miko / Zhongli / Beidou
Main DPS
Sandrone
Sandrone stays on field for Fagio’s Charged Attacks. Apply Cryo and Electro to trigger Stellar-Conduct, maintain the Polestar Field, and use Skill to lower Decoding Power. Cast Burst in Radiance after building Refined Tactics stacks. Mailed Flower is an event option if already owned; Lithic Blade is an alternative only when the party supplies enough Liyue teammates.
Sub DPS
Yae Miko
Yae Miko provides off-field Electro through Sesshou Sakura. Entering the Polestar Field activates her Radiance state, allowing the enhanced attacks in her passives to add Stellar-Conduct damage. Refresh her turrets before Sandrone’s field time; C1 and C2 team buffs require those constellations.
Shield / Support
Zhongli
Zhongli’s shield protects Sandrone during Charged Attacks and reduces nearby enemy resistance. His pillar can maintain Tenacity of the Millelith while it continues hitting. Keep enemies within its range for the ATK buff.
Sub DPS
Beidou
Beidou’s Burst adds off-field Electro discharges when Normal or Charged Attacks hit, at most once per second. Use an attack driver during its 15-second duration and build enough ER for the 80-Energy cost. At C6, Stormbreaker reduces nearby Electro RES by 15%; in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct it also reduces Cryo RES by 15% and grants the active character 200 EM. These extra effects require C6.
