[@KazeMemaryu]

I love bringing this up: simply by virtue of her counter actually providing Beidou with i-frames on perfect timing, she can parry Raiden Shogun's instant kill. It's ridiculously hard to pull off since the timing of using it is slightly delayed in that case, but that alone is something no other character has ever achieved. In fact, Yun Jin and Candace lack any i-frames on their perfect counters, and Scaramouche had to utilize a different method of instant kill by applying the "defeat" state to your current character without a hit check, just so she couldn't counter that one, too. That aside, Beidou is everything I love about characters in an action game: a fast kit that rewards understanding, reflexes, and skill without limiting her to reactionary abilities alone. And she's by far the most rewarding character to play, as the tiny hit lag on a perfect counter underlines the sheer violent power behind it perfectly. The counter also has deceptively wide range, can be triggered off of standing on burning grass, has a surprisingly strong shield, AND adds complementary Electro damage to her normals instead of an infusion. She has been my absolute main since the day I got her, she was my first triple crown, my first 5* weapon user, and my go-to character for trying solo runs against every boss in the game. The only way to top her would be if miHoYo actually decided to release a 5* variant of Beidou with an even heavier counter at her disposal.

[@K-dis_Boher]

I'm proud to say I'm a Beidou main, and I think she singlehandedly skyrocketed my thing for tomboys; I just love her so much and she made me a better player simply because of learning to dodge/parry with her; with the other "parry" characters, there's more leeway with your timing, but I'm glad I learned with Beidou, because her stricter timing made me more skilled at dodging and parrying than if I had learned with the likes of Yunjin or Candace; I've learned that even when I'm not using her in a team, I'm still playing like I am; whenever I'm using teams like Rational, I've realized I'm still dodging enemy attacks because of all the parrying I've practiced with her I'm still holding out hope that one day we'll get the infamous lvl 100 ascension, and along with it, I hope she gets some kinda talent or something that alleviates her energy issues, because I'd really like to see her stand out more as an individual character without the need for a battery; cuz good lord is she amazing and incredibly useful as a support with her countering, shielding, damage reduction, stagger resistance, AND significant DPS; I'd honestly say she's more befitting the "Five Fantastic Four Stars" than Xiangling is, cuz as good as Xiangling is, she's really just a 1-trick pony who's carried solely by the power of Pyronado and offers little to nothing else

Beidou was my first 4* and hitting her counter is still as satisfying as it was when I first figured out how to do it.

[@ozzcoremidmx8287]

Beidou is by far my favorite unit in the game, not only because her lore is badass (fighting haishan for over 4 days without a vision is on another league) but also because she is one of the funniest characters in the game, her level scaling may be pretty average but her counter is one of the best abilities in the game. When I was a low AR during the early days of the game she was one of my first 4 stars, she saved me so many times from death by using her counter as a shield, specially since I defeated Childe on the Story Quest before the nerf, using her ability during mark ability where he used to one-Hit K.O. in most of the cases, she used to withstand the attack with the counter. Not only that but her ult and the electro application made wonders with hydro and now that we have dendro, the synergy she offers me with Nahida, Collei or Dendro traveler is incredible, simply my favourite character

[@DevilishmanThe]

Even against single enemies, the fact that Beidou can put up a shield for a blessed couple seconds, long enough for another character to use their burst, makes her a pretty good options still.

[@leocall7173]

Not really... We have plenty of better shield options both 4* and 5*. Putting Beidou in a single target fight for her shield is major copium.

[@alfredxsiv]

my main gripe about beidou is how you need quite a bit of vertical investment into her. If you have a subpar build on her, she also feels really subpar. The balancing of ER, atk%, & crt is an artifact hellhole (especially for a f2p). She's also kinda not forgiving for casual players in some instances, if your ER is low - you need the perfect parries so you can burst off cooldown, and thats really hard to do unless you take time learning beidou's rotations and familiarize all the enemy attack patterns (in which casual players tend to not do). For comparison, kuki hyperbloom teams you can just press buttons and things just die, some people can even 36* abyss with blindfolds on using kuki hyperbloom teams. Though i pretty much agree that if built properly and played skillfully, she can be one of the strongest 4 stars in the game.

[@N1CKczemN1CK]

Im on 144er, and with Fishl I got my bursy on cool dawn

she's great if you got the 5* claymore by accident (the one with ER i dont remember the name) I use it with the 4 piece of the ER set and atk-electro bonus-crit setup and she reaches 10k per tick with 175% energy recharge it's pretty good especially when i pair her with neuvillette

[@eurekadiaz3771]

When paired with another electro, she only needs 125% ER to burst on CD btw, switch in, perfect parry, switch out, is how you play her in your team. Even with 4EOSF, without her perfect parry she lost huge chunk of damage.

[@Fyreshield]

I've had beidou for almost 3 years now and she's been a reliable subdps for me this whole time

[@Lukifer117]

11:04 I actually use a team with Nuevillette, Kazuha, Fischl, and Beidou, and it is incredibly strong. Beidou pairs quite nicely with Nuevi not just because of the "rail gun" combo but also because beidou's ult provides interruption resistance, which is fantastic for users like me who don't have C1 for Nuevi.

To go through this version of the abyss i used Heizou, Kuki, Beidou and Keqing, for the laughs and broke the abyss, Beidou continues to be really strong and a good option

[@milesshelley1464]

She's great in Yoimiya overload especially with C1. When fighting Hydro Tulpa, all my other normally stronger teams struggled a bit (national, freeze, hyperbloom, aggravate). But the overload team destroyed it. I know it's super situational for her in overload to be my best option here, and it only beat hyperbloom because Tulpa moves so much and stamina is a thing, but it still puts a smile on my face.

[@Naestrith]

Beidou is one of my favourite characters, she's great with Alhaitham and Nahida, I often play the Heizou tazer in the abyss just for the pleasure to put Beidou in a team. And Jean+Furina work well with her too.

Raiden actually worked with skyward spine and beidou when she comes out but then they nerfed her I still remember that 100 primogem they say it was a bug but it was probably first direct nerf to a character

[@mikkunmikkichi3762]

the idea of needing a fischl in every beidou team is misleading. as long as the 4th member is a fav user, it's more than enough since you play beidou when there's 2+ enemies. it should also be common knowledge now that she needs either an ER weapon or sands. i often choose a fav yaoyao in sucrose taser so that it turns into quickbloom. the reason i dont play beidou as much is because ive been using her for 2 years. i'd rather play with new characters. although, she' my top pick on 4* only abyss speedrun.

She was my first main and I thought she was really cool plus that counter helped my early times in genshin, made everything much more fun. Good times with her.

[@Y_-xs9ue]

There was no reason for Beidou to not work with Raiden Shogun, she wouldn't even be too broken since she would only be keeping up with the power 5 but when paired with the electro archon herself. Even now they could double down and allow her ultimate to work with Raiden Shogun's basic attacks, labeling it as a "late bug fix" but for some weird reason they just don't allow her to have that.

[@naufalnoorizan1763]

Isnt it "Raiden does not work with Beidou"? Because Raiden dmg comes from her burst, therefore if hoyo had to correct the synergy, then Raiden had to lvl her NA talents because beidou's burst triggers from NA

[@Y_-xs9ue]

@@naufalnoorizan1763 Problem is, she was able to trigger Yelan and Xingqiu's off field damage who functions similarly to Beidou where they need normal attacks to trigger them. Edit: She's able to trigger them in her burst duration yet for Beidou, she can't.

[@curryfishheadenjoyer]

@@Y_-xs9ue im not defending hoyo on this but i think its because yelan and xingqius bursts can be triggered just by pressing the NA command, while beidou requires your character to deal NA damage to an enemy. notice how yelan and xingqius bursts can be triggered even if youre not fighting an enemy as long as you press the NA button. hoyos wording on abilities can get unnecessarily confusing, i do think its dumb that even with so much outcry over beidou not working with raiden hoyo refuses to change things

[@fran99080]

​@@curryfishheadenjoyer really late to this thread but back then there was an abyss blessing for raiden shoguns first banner that made it so when you hit an enemy with a normal attack there would be a shockwave and the photo they used was raiden shogun hitting them with her burst normal attacks which also worked odd enough when someone made a reddit post on it mihoyo changed it without ever giving any response i can only guess they had to sell yae and sara back then and so they deliberately changed how her burst functions last minute just to avoid this combo lol

Beidou was the first character that... Clicked for me. Before then, Noelle was my go-to because I like claymores and her shield+healing was extremely comfy for me during the first weeks of playing Genshin (back in 1.0 btw). However, after I got my first Beidou and tried her out, the game became much more enjoyable. Parrying mechanics in games are some of my favourite things to master. So, naturally, seeing Beidow had one, I slowly but surely began to learn when to activate it for maximum profit. Plus, she's a claymore like Noelle, had a pseudo shield of sorts (though not the same as Noelle's and while I lost healing at first, I replaced Noelle with Jean in my party, who was my only healer and anemo character until I got Xiao. Now in 4.0, I still find myself playing Beidou because no other character scratches that same itch like she does. There's nothing more satisfying than parrying an attack perfectly. Plus, one of my favourite duos with her wit to pair her up with Kokomi. Beidou's Burst + Kokomi's Burst is just a rain of taser. And honestly, even though you mentioned how she's often paired up with another electro character, I never felt the need to have another electro character in my party because I have enough with Beidou. Sure, Fischl might be "better" from a meta standpoint but, like the rest of the so-called "power of five", she's very boring to play and I don't wanna log in to Genshin use characters I don't like playing as. Beidou was the first character I triple crowned and I'm still looking for ways to improve her artifacts. She will always be my favourite character to play as no matter what ♥

The worst thing happen to beidou is still the fact that she cannot work with Raiden burst But overall although she is not the most meta 4 star she is never weak and I always have good time using her, I just wish she is better at single target cuz other than that she is amazing. Doing decent off field dmg, being able to snapshot, giving shield and damage reduction, counter ability and the ability to do on field electro application to trigger HB make her one of the more flexible character in the game. Her only downside is that her energy cost is so high (which would make Raiden her perfect partner) and burst duration isn't as long as Xinqiu but it is not too short either being right in the middle so im not complaining edit: Beidou+Xinqiu is an underrated pair for their 70%+ damage reduction, this massive damage reduction allow the flimsy Beidou shield to be as good as shield from Zhongli without full HP build, from my calc it should be able to tank 15k+ dmg and from my test it should work cuz I tried getting hit that deal 7k to my chara twice and it didn't break and only break in 3rd attack (I crown my beidou and Xinqiu and both at C6 so they have 70-80% dmg reduction, with C6 Jean they have more than 100% dmg reduction making them immune to damage lmao, sadly no C6 jean yet) ofc nowaday with healing meta and high dmg enemy in abyss 12 this is rarely the best pair but often time you can ignore healing and just use this pair to reduce damage taken to the point where you can clear abyss without anyone dying pretty comfortably with flexibility on the two chara option, you can bring Nahida and Fischl or Sucrose and Yelan or heck even Nahida and Keqing work well too, or if you want to be undying Beidou National isn't bad at all with ton of dmg reduction and Bennett healing, the only problem is you need fav sword for Beidou or needing battery like Fischl or Yae Niche team I like to play her with is Miku C6/Yelan+Wanderer or Heizou, and I would have pair her with Neuv...

She is versatile and so much fun to play. Her constellations only made her more enjoyable and more helpful, her shield carried me through abyss when I had yet to acquire Zhongli.

IMO Beidou is one of those characters that has great value at early AR but does tend to fall off once one has better units. I paired her with Yanfei, Mona, and Sayu before I had my first limited 5* which was Raiden, and Beidou was one of my strongest units alongside Yanfei. Early overloads + I got lucky and got early constellations so the shield was incredible. For early AR players I'd say invest in Beidou especially if you get early constellations.

I'm AR55 and my Beidou is STILL carrying me despite my account now playing host to the entire Power Five, Shinobu, Kazuha and Ayato. She's just...so damn good.

[@CarlosRodriguez-sq8bv]

I mained her and triple crowned her. And one thing i have to say is that she has to be the hardest character to build in my experience. She needs to do damage so she needs good crit stats and lots of attack percentage since she doesnt have much attack, she also needs er to get her burst up which does like 90 percente of her damage. And her skill is quite satisfying so im not to eager to use 4 peice emblem.

[@robynofrye4311]

Just gave her a brush up and play her again. Not cause she's meta, but I like her, missed her and she still is viable in certain teams. My neuvi is so strong, I can use her instead of Fischl and not worry about lost damage (don't really like Fischl so it's perfect). Power that ended Haishan!

[@RaynmanPlays]

Back when I was very new, Beidou was a key part of my team, wielding the Bell. Basically I used her as a main tank. And was also very helpful in solving Inazuma puzzles.

[@Joel97_]

Man, the BO2 music... Never gets old. I have my beidou a bit neglected but, at the same time, I do not have Kuki yet, I still consider her quite strong and it's quite useful (and fun!) when I do decide to pull her out for Abyss

[@chicken7002]

Beidou carried my account to what it is now. I love her so much. She brings back so many memories whenever I see her.

[@alport1331]

7:57 I think that's already explained before, and it's because during that time Normal and Charge Attack damage are converted to Elemental Burst damage to give way to the EOSF 4-set bonus, and it's not an Elemental Burst empowered attacks like "converts Normal and Charged Attacks to AOE Electro DMG." To expand it further, kits from Xingqiu and Yelan were "coordinated attacks" and was explained as "uses a Normal Attack" so they both work for Raiden because of use of Normal Attack (not necessarily hit with Normal Attack) is the only necessary condition to trigger it (same with Razor's Elemental Burst's "The Wolf Within", the triggering condition for it is to strike a Normal Attack so it'll attack as long as Razor uses Normal Attack). Beidou however is required to "Normal and Charged attack hit" meaning it has to satisfy two conditions: it has to be a Normal or Charged Attack; and it has to "hit", and by "hit" means deal Normal or Charged Attack DMG, even on shielded units (because shields also has HP and N/C Attack DMG deals damage to it). Infused skills and bursts like Yoimiya, Ayato and Cyno works with Beidou because it only infuses Normal/Charged Attacks with a specific element, dealing elemental damage (which is still be considered Normal/Charged Attack damage even if the multipliers are on either on their Elemental Skill/Burst UNLESS stated otherwise). Raiden however doesn't infuses, it changes Normal and Charged Attack to deal Elemental Burst damage, which in turn doesn't satisfy the other requirement of Beidou's Elemental Burst.

[@d-godfather]

She's actually a good alternative to Zhongli in a Furina + Neuvilette hypercarry @ C0 Neuvilette... Her burst provides an electro shield, yes she has no resistance shred unlike Zhongli and shield is not as thick but good enough for variety (using same characters can be boring sometimes).

[@Ottobon]

Beidou is really interesting in that out of all the electros besides Raiden she is the only one I can think that her mains I’ve talked to still argue Hyper style comps are more potent for her then Dendro. Not saying that if true or not but many of them seem adamant about it. For me I just really like playing her whether team makes sense to others or not, I would often do Fischl Beidou teams with them as the pure focus and everyone else supporting them which worked well for me because of my admiration for both, but for those choosy about one or the other I get the annoyance of people telling you that you have to pair characters a certain way all the time.

[@RiskCapCapGG]

the black ops 2 menu theme goes hard 💯

[@cosimopellicano1883]

One character that is very much overlooked is lisa , with dendro she’s very good and versatile. She can be dps aggravate , (with fischl they destroy everything and Thundering fury set is practícally made for her ), support/subdps for tighnari and al aitham. She can also do hyperbloom and dish out good damage. And taser is still an option for her. She can also replace sara before c6. And she’s free, sha has some issues but nothing that serious

[@finebook281]

Beidou and Sucrose are both in the same boat of characters people know are very strong, but never use. She's great, but I can't recommend building her unless you already know what team you want to play her in, because otherwise you just may never play her.

[@salvador36a]

Good video but I wasn't expecting the nostalgia punch from the Black Ops 2 lobby music

[@SumsieBun]

Idk why the Genshin community has such a hate boner for Beidou. She’s an incredible character just watch Beidou 1hp shogun solo. As a dps her niche is irreplaceable (Candace’s the only other parry and it doesn’t work the same way)

[@eriksiget-rv5ff]

Yeah what did beidou do to you guys she never tried to powercreep anyone yet she always received so much nonsense hate 😭😭🥲😭

[@Pinglen]

U mean bone?😂

[@PRO100SashaX]

Having second electro with Beidou is overrated imo. Use sac gs on her, and she's more that self-sustainable if you are capable of hitting at least one good parry out of two, with good damage still coming from 4-p emblem and 44 base atk weapon. This is especially useful if you need Fishl for the second Abyss team and you don't really have anybody else to replace her, or you really need other characters (Neuv for example, he can not only use her damage but also shield from C2 and interruption res). Bennett also removes all atk problems from using non-perfect weapon.

[@Kurode045]

I see Beidou, I click

[@braddl9442]

She got old. Really thats it, she has been around so long that she just kind of got forgotten about. And then she did not really work with dendro as well as the others. You can trigger dendro cores off her E skill, but her burst not really working with them hurts.

[@braddl9442]

Dori is actually a really good healer in multiplayer......which is very niche.

[@terminator01456]

Beidou is the reason I started playing Genshin, she was my first main 3 years ago and still use her alot

[@arocomisgamusclademork1603]

Mona and Beidou different level niche. Mona best damage increase at beginning universal regardless stat unlike Bennett for team buff while Mona make dps characters aren't rely scaling damage limited Atk%, more like sastifty kit gameplay. Beidou best against aggressive ai enemies counter attack

[@gtyik-dr6gj]

Man that black ops 2 menu music was sending me back to my childhood

[@eunique.22]

I mained Beidou the moment I got her 3 years ago during the 1.1 update. I still main her and I will make it my personal mission to main her until the very end. Nowadays, she's more used for off field damage but my god is getting her counter timing perfect so damn satisfying

[@imthescrubjay]

Ill say it again: beidou is by no means bad nor has she fallen off. People just forgor she was good again. 12000% scaling on get burst is still 12000% scaling. You can't really beat that

[@glory_m99]

I just finished the abyss with Taser Beidou today lol ^ ^ in second half I used Yaoyao instead of Xingqiu

[@highwaytoheaven99]

I love using Beidou, built her somewhat recently, after I got C2 (then C6 in Furina's Banner). Spread team with Beidou, Fischl, Yao yao and Alhaitham is my favorite team to use her. Its like you said: she's like Venti, awesome in AOE, but falls off a cliff in single target. She might not be absurdly broken like Fischl, but you wont regret building her.

[@justinflores3771]

Love the black ops Multi theme playing in the back👍

[@casualpotato44]

Beidou is the Kuroko of Genshin's power five. Beidou is the 6th player who's lowkey a powerhouse of the earlier generation of miracle 4 stars.

[@JaxxBaxRaxor]

Beidou is like many of the launch characters in terms of having strange kits due to Mihiyo not having a full understanding on how the game would evolve. However, Beidou is fortunate enough to have mainly stood the test of time. In additon to the Power 5 I do feel that Kuki, Diona, Yao Yao and Thoma have surpassed Beidou as 4*s but that still makes her among the top 50% of *4 characters.

[@0li-0li28]

not trying to be sarcastic or mean , But why do you consider thoma to be better than beidou? Has he gotten some sort of relevance that somehow surpasses Beidou? Cause the only thing I know from him is his ability to enable burgeon which isn’t rlly that strong

[@kibathefang6022]

What happened to Beidou is Raiden released but Raiden's burst doesn't work with Beidou because it's considered burst damage.

[@ei-chan8929]

Yeah people who say she fell off long ago are on some weird shit. Beidou is just getting better and better as more and more enemy are being added in abyss cycles. She has one the most highest dmaage scaling 4 star team in game predendro ( Sucrose , beidou fischl and xq ) and after dendro her aggrivate teams are just next thing. The pnly thing which makes fischl better than beidou is that she has Oz and her burst refresh Oz, while beidous auto are slow and she is burst reliant ( similar to xiangling ) .

[@jademsilver5390]

I was a main Beidou throu out 1.0 to 1.3 (first Xiao banner). I paused the vidéo at 0:54, to write what I think Beidou is today (at least for me). For me Beidou is a side grade to fischl. I prefer Fischl for mono target, but when there's more than 2 ennemies, I go for Beidou. To resume : For me Beidou is AOE Fischl

[@pandorapanini6036]

Beidou happened to be my first Friendship 10 char, simply by virtue of using her so goddamn much. While I may not use her as much now, she remains treasured.

[@theorize999]

I think she’s great. She’s also quite nice for overworld. I like abyss but I spend more time up above.
