Genshin Impact – Beidou best weapons and artifacts

Beidou’s best weapon options

Wolf’s Gravestone – The Wolf’s Gravestone is Beidou’s strongest 5-star option, boosting her ATK by an obscene amount. Beidou is a sub-DPS off-field character, so equipping this weapon also has some support functionality, as it also increases the ATK of your party members by 40% when you attack an opponent with less than 30% HP.

Serpent Spine – The Serpent Spine is Beidou’s best 4-star weapon, and is a strong option for increasing her Crit Rate and flat DMG. Because of how the passive works, you can set-up your Elemental Burst on Beidou and swap off, which will increase her DMG output while putting her out of danger. This is a Battle Pass weapon, so you will have to spend a bit of money to obtain it.

Sacrificial Greatsword – For a F2P-friendly option, consider the Sacrificial Greatsword. This weapon synergizes well with her best artifact set, the Emblem of Severed Fate, and allows her to use her Elemental Skill twice which will increase the number of energy particles she can create for herself.

Beidou’s best artifact options

Emblem of Severed Fate

• 2-piece bonus – +20% energy recharge.
• 4-piece bonus – Increases the damage of your elemental burst by 25% of your energy recharge rate. You can gain a maximum of 75% bonus damage in this manner.

The Emblem of Severed Fate increases her Elemental Burst damage and her Energy Recharge, ensuring that she can keep her Elemental Burst up with maximum uptime. The higher your Energy Recharge, the higher your damage, so be sure to build a lot of Energy Recharge on Beidou when using this set.

Noblesse Oblige

• 2-piece bonus – +20% elemental burst damage.
• 4-piece bonus – +20% ATK for all party members for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst.

This is another great set that increases her Elemental Burst damage. While it doesn’t have as much potential in increasing Beidou’s damage, it’s always a solid option on a sub-DPS character due to its ability to buff the ATK of your party members.
