Timing is Key

When using Beidou, timing is the key to success in beating enemies with her elemental skill. You should count the time to use her elemental skill, Tidecaller. You should use it in the flame of a Cryo ally or the wet air made by a Hydro character.

Besides, you can also use this elemental slash after a Cryo elemental burst causes the frost air around enemies. Then, her Electro element can cause the highest elemental DMG through many elemental reactions.

Use Elemental Burst to Defeat Mobs

When you counter mobs, use the elemental burst of Beidou to beat them and create a shield around her. After using the elemental skill to stun the mob, you tab on the elemental burst button. It's a great offensive talent of Beidou in Genshin Impact.

The Electro DMG of normal attacks, charged attacks, and elemental slashes will increase significantly. Moreover, during the phase of her elemental burst, she will continuously cause Electro DMG even when you switch to another character in the team.

Switch In When Exploring The Water

Beidou is a good choice for water exploring water thanks to her passive talent. She consumes less stamina than other characters in Teyvat when swimming by 20%. It's because she is a captain of a big ship and Beidou spends most of her life at sea. Therefore, she swims better than anyone else in this game.
