Genshin Impact Beidou Guide | Articles

Updated on: July 24, 2024

Welcome to Pocket Gamers’ detailed Genshin Impact Beidou guide! Beidou is the captain of the Crux, an armed fleet in Liyue. They are famous throughout the region for their high-stakes adventures and bountiful riches. As she has always loved travelling the oceans, she finds herself adverse to the idea of staying on land for too long. Her most amazing feat is surely that of her defeating a leviathan named Haishan without the use of a vision, or magic, to do so.

In the guide below you will find the following features: 

Character Appearance

Beidou Element / Tier / Rarity / Weapon

Electro / B Tier / 4* Rarity / Claymore

In Genshin Impact, Beidou manages to not only deliver a ridiculous amount of Electro damage, but she helps spread it after deflecting attacks. Her 20% stamina reduction while swimming makes traversing to the outlying islands much easier, showcasing her reputation as a seaworthy opponent.

How to get Beidou

She can be obtained through the Thunder Soujorn event (Duration: July 22, 2024 10:00:00 AM ~ August 09, 2024 03:59:59 AM) by using 1,000 Thunder Pellets and 1,000 Thunder Crystals at the Oceanlord’s Oath to exchange for “Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean” Beidou

In Genshin Impact, Beidou is one of the best characters to lay down Electro with. She also can counter attacks, making her a great DPS, but since her Burst takes so much energy to use, it’s great to have a team that can regain energy fast and provide plenty of Elemental reactions.

Fischl is a good pair, as she can amplify the Electro attacks and give back energy to Beidou, allowing her Burst to be used more often. Xingqiu can spread Hydro on the field to make it easier to cause reactions and do more Electro damage. Diona’s shield helps manage the chaos and can lower enemy defences with Superconduct.

F2P Team

Beidou will be used to provide Electro AoE attacks, while Kaeya can be used as a secondary DPS to provide energy back to Beidou and lower enemy DEF with Superconduct. Barbara will not only be the healer but can also spread Hydro around. Fischl will be useful to provide Electro support by energy regain and Electro damage on the field.
