Best teams for Beidou
Discover the best teams for Beidou, including F2P-friendly team comps for every playstyle.
Beidou Thunder Team — Raiden Shogun Electro Hypercarry
SSLegacy Electro lineup. Raiden Shogun's Burst attacks cannot trigger Beidou's Stormbreaker discharges, so do not treat them as simultaneous Burst damage. Run Beidou's Burst during a dedicated Normal/Charged Attack window instead, then let Raiden Shogun drive her own window.
Stack Electro off-field damage on a Raiden Shogun energy engine: Beidou's Stormbreaker discharges fire on Normal/Charged Attacks, while Kujou Sara and Bennett funnel ATK and CRIT DMG into a single burst window. Because Raiden Shogun's Burst attacks cannot trigger Stormbreaker, the two damage windows must be kept separate.
Team composition: Raiden Shogun (Electro Main DPS), Beidou (Electro Sub DPS), Kujou Sara (Electro Support), Bennett (Pyro Support)
Burst restores party Energy, but its attacks cannot trigger Beidou's Stormbreaker discharges.
Weapons: Engulfing Lightning, "The Catch"
Artifacts: 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate
Substats: CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate > Energy Recharge > ATK%
Burst adds off-field Electro discharges on Normal/Charged Attack hits, max 1/s for 15s.
Weapons: Skyward Pride, Serpent Spine
Artifacts: 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate
Substats: Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK%
ATK buff; at C6 adds 60% Electro CRIT DMG. Short duration — time the window.
Weapons: Skyward Harp, The Stringless
Artifacts: 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate
Substats: CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate > Energy Recharge > ATK%
Heals and grants flat ATK inside his Burst field; buff scales off Base ATK, not HP.
Weapons: Skyward Blade, Favonius Sword
Artifacts: 4pc Noblesse Oblige
Substats: HP% > HP > Energy Recharge
Eula Superconduct Physical Hypercarry — Beidou, Chongyun, Zhongli
SEula carries with Physical damage amplified by Superconduct (Cryo + Electro). Keep her Normal Attacks outside Chongyun's field so they stay Physical, and stack enough Energy Recharge on both Eula and Beidou. Source does not specify a fixed rotation.
Superconduct triggered by Electro plus Cryo reduces Physical RES, letting Eula's Normal Attacks and Lightfall Sword deal far more damage. Zhongli's shield keeps the carry safely in range while Beidou adds off-field Electro damage.
Team composition: Eula (Cryo Main DPS), Beidou (Electro Sub DPS), Chongyun (Cryo Sub DPS), Zhongli (Geo Support)
Physical Normal Attacks and Lightfall Sword; relies on Superconduct to shred Physical RES. Attack outside Chongyun's field to avoid Cryo infusion.
Weapons: Song of Broken Pines, Serpent Spine
Artifacts: 4pc Pale Flame
Substats: CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate > ATK% > Energy Recharge
Burst adds off-field Electro discharges when Normal or Charged Attacks hit, max once per second for 15s. 80 Energy cost, so build ER. C6 Stormbreaker also cuts nearby Electro RES by 15%.
Weapons: Skyward Pride, Serpent Spine
Artifacts: 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate
Substats: Energy Recharge > CRIT Rate > CRIT DMG > ATK%
Supplies Cryo application and Burst damage; at C2 the Skill field lowers cooldowns of abilities cast inside. That same field infuses Eula's Normal Attacks with Cryo, so keep her outside it.
Weapons: Song of Broken Pines, Serpent Spine
Artifacts: 2pc Blizzard Strayer + 2pc Noblesse Oblige
Substats: CRIT DMG > CRIT Rate > ATK% > Energy Recharge
Shield provides a safe environment for the team, and a full Tenacity of the Millelith set raises whole-team ATK.
Weapons: Staff of Homa, Black Tassel
Artifacts: 4pc Tenacity of the Millelith
Substats: HP% > HP > Energy Recharge
