String	Talent 9%	Frames	MV/s	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
1-Hit	130.67%	23	340.88%/s	85.67	3
2-Hit	130.19%	66	237.15%/s	85.33	3

5-Hit	206.03%	246	192.22%/s	135.12	6

Notes Normal attacks without Lightning Storm (A4 passive) active lose about 30% damage output.

• C0-C3 Beidou's should use N4 cancels or N5 dash cancels.

• Beidou's normal attack string concludes with a kick to the sword with her foot. Whether her model makes contact with the claymore depends on the model size of the claymore. We can conclude that it is intended to be a kick to the claymore because a sound will play no matter what model size the claymore.

Charged Attack Beidou consumes 40 stamina a second to perform continuous slashes. At the end of the 5 seconds, perform a more powerful slash.

Tidecaller

Nothing to worry about. Should anyone raise a hand against her or her men, she will avenge it ten-fold with sword and thunder.

Press Accumulating the power of lightning, Beidou swings her blade forward fiercely, dealing Electro DMG.

Hold Lifts her weapon up as a shield. Max DMG absorbed scales off Beidou's Max HP. Attacks using the energy stored within the greatsword upon release or once this ability's duration expires, dealing Electro DMG.

• The counter has 0/1 startup frames, depending on whether your input is registered immediately or with a 1 frame delay. Vault Entry

Stormbreaker

Recalling her slaying of the great beast Haishan, Beidou calls upon that monstrous strength and the lightning to create a Thunderbeast's Targe around herself, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents.

Thunderbeast's Targe • When Normal and Charged Attacks hit, they create a lightning discharge that can jump between opponents, dealing Electro DMG. • Increases active character’s resistance to interruption and decreases DMG taken. A maximum of 1 lightning discharge can be triggered per second.

Attribute	Burst	Lightning Discharge
Burst DMG (T9%)	206.72%	163.2%

Energy Cost	80	-
Duration	15s	15s
Cooldown	20s	1s
Poise Damage	400	50

Notes

• Beidou's lightning discharges have 3 damage instances with 2 targets or more.

• Stormbreaker's additional arc lightning can jump back to the initial target.

• The counter for the cooldown does not start on when Beidou's lightning discharge hits, but when the normal attack hits. Hence, the discharge CD can be randomly and inconsistently affected by ping spikes and is not consistently 1 second. - Vault Entry

• Lightning discharge can bounce off Mitachurl Shields but will deal no damage.

• Snapshot on cast.

  • However, if you swap to Beidou and cast her Burst too quick (Left Alt + Switch Character), her Lightning DMG might fail to snapshot certain buffs.

• The Lightning Discharge's have a range limit, starting from the character attacking, that is calculated after the attack hits and is not affected by travel time.

• The attacker must be on field when the attack hits to proc a Lightning Discharge.

• An extensive collection of proc counts for Stormbreaker using different attack strings on different characters can be found here.
