# Beidou

## Roles

* **Off-Field DPS** (Elemental Burst)
* **Support:** Debuffer (C6), Cleanser (Self Only)

## Character Breakdown

* **Elemental Skill** provides a brief shield based off of her total **HP**. Attacks taken by this shield while Beidou holds up her **Elemental Skill** determine the damage of the counterattack performed when the **Elemental Skill** is released. 2 attacks are required to reach the maximum damage.
  * **A1** allows Beidou to immediately perform the maximum damage of her counterattack if the **Elemental Skill** is used at the precise moment when the character is hit. This lets Beidou tap the **Elemental Skill** to "Perfect Counter" enemy attacks rather than taking multiple attacks over a period of time.
  * **A4** increases Beidou's **ATK SPD**, **Normal Attack DMG** and **Charged Attack DMG** by 15% and greatly reduces the delay before unleashing **Charged Attacks** for 10 seconds after using her **Elemental Skill** at its maximum damage.
* **Elemental Burst** creates a lightning discharge which jumps between enemies when your active character deals damage with their **Normal** or **Charged Attacks**. While the **Elemental Burst** is active, resistance to interruption is increased and damage taken is reduced.

## Additional Notes

* Beidou excels an Off-Field DPS with her **Elemental Burst** for teams that attack often with **Normal Attacks** or **Charged Attacks**.
* Beidou is often paired with another **Electro** character to help regenerate energy as her **Elemental Burst** has a high energy requirement.
* **Elemental Burst** snapshots buffs on cast, allowing supports such as Bennett to buff the entire duration of Beidou's **Elemental Burst.**
* **C2** allows her **Elemental Burst** lightning discharge to bounce between 2 more enemies, increasing **AoE** damage significantly.
  * Due to this, Beidou's damage scales with the number of enemies surrounding the active character and decreases by a large amount if only attacking a single target.
* **C6** allows her **Elemental Burst** to reduce the **Electro** **RES** of surrounding enemies, making her a Debuffer for **Electro** characters.

## Works Well With

* Beidou primarily acts as a Off-Field DPS for Keqing, providing extra Off-Field **Electro DMG** with her **Elemental Burst**.
* Beidou can also debuff the the **Electro** **RES** of enemies with her **C6** active.
* Keqing's main source of damage being her **Normal** or **Charged Attacks** allows Beidou's **Elemental Burst** to constantly deal **Electro** **DMG**.

* Childe and Xingqiu provide a high rate of **Hydro** application and combined with Beidou's **Elemental Burst** can constantly create **Electro-Charged** reactions.
* The combination of **Damage Reduction** on both Beidou and Xingqiu's **Elemental Bursts** provides increased survivability while both abilities are active.

* Beidou applies **Electro** for **Superconduct** and her high **Electro** **DMG** can assist Eula against enemies with high **Physical RES.**

#### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3b7fdd9e701353d0554b2c2591487a39f6eefd85%2Fui_icon_anemo.webp?alt=media)

* **Anemo** characters pair well with Beidou as they can provide **Elemental RES** debuffs with the **Viridescent Venerer** 4-set or other **Elemental DMG** buffs when triggering a **Swirl** reaction.

* Beidou's ability to snapshot buffs with her **Elemental Burst** allows her to take full advantage of both Bennet and Kujou Sara's **ATK** buffs.
* The **Electro CRIT DMG** increase from Kujou Sara's **C6** can be snapshotted and will last for the entire duration of Beidou's **Elemental Burst**.

#### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4529a24bf1ac00ca2773e02798685028e4643ad4%2FUI_AvatarIcon_Fischl.png?alt=media)

* Provides additional Off-Field **Electro DMG** to compliment Beidou and helps generate **Electro Energy Particles** to recharge her **Elemental Burst**.

## Does Not Work Well With

#### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e4caab2093061f33939aec6f4eac6ccd7c25bb1f%2Fui_icon_cryo.webp?alt=media)

* Pairing Beidou with most **Cryo** On-Field DPS will largely lead to triggering **Superconduct**, a reaction which does not increase **Cryo** or **Electro** **DMG**, and will also stop enemies from being **Frozen.**
  * **Physical** On-Field DPS that use **Cryo** abilities are an exception and can be used with her in order to provide additional Off-Field **Electro DMG** alongside providing **Superconduct**.

#### ![](https://37635806-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgIuSiDFSNyVZCB3uMq%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-292a0b51256929a08125ee473228c69880ddf477%2Fui_icon_pyro.webp?alt=media)

* Against smaller enemies with low resistance to interruption, the knock back of **Overload** can lead to spending too much time chasing them around.

* Beidou is typically used as an Off-Field DPS in these teams with an On-Field character such as Keqing or Childe to trigger her **Elemental Burst's** lightning discharges.
* A second **Electro** character is recommended to help recharge Beidou's **Elemental Burst**.

* Beidou's high Off-Field DPS makes this team work well against large or heavy enemies who can't get knocked back by **Overload**.
* A second **Electro** character is recommended to help recharge Beidou's **Elemental Burst** and create more **Overload** reactions.

* Beidou provides Off-Field **Electro** **DMG** for Eula to trigger **Superconduct,** debuffing enemy **Physical RES**.
* A second **Electro** character is recommended to help recharge Beidou's **Elemental Burst**.
