Cover-Credits:
Beidou is one of the strongest 4-star units but a lot of her power is locked behind constellations. You want to get at least C2 before you can expect decent damage output. She pairs well with Fischl and you should try her out in Electrocharged teams or in Electro-based Dendro teams. If you plan on pulling or building her, here’s what you need to know about Beidou’s Talents, Constellations and Passives.
Genshin Impact Beidou: Should You Pull?
Beidou is available in the Starglitter shop in February and August every year and the easiest way to obtain her or her constellations is by saving your Starglitter. You should not pull for Beidou on a rate-up banner unless you are okay with receiving the featured 5-star unit.
Unlike 5 stars, there is no guarantee that you will be able to snag a 4-star of your choice. There are instances of people spending over a hundred wishes and not getting the 4-star that they need so you should never pull for a low rarity unit unless you are okay with getting the featured 5-star or using up your pity.
