String	Talent 9%	Frames	MV/s	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
Spinning DMG	103.33%	?	?	60	3
Final DMG	187.07%	?	?	120	6

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Damage Type	Talent 9%	Poise Damage	Impulse Type
Plunge Impact	137.03%	35	2
Low Plunge DMG	274.01%	150	4
High Plunge DMG	342.25%	200	7

Notes

• MV/s are calculated using the shortest possible frames without any animation cancels, for different cancels see below.
• 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.

Skill

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. DMG dealt scales with the number of times Beidou is attacked in the skill's duration. The greatest DMG Bonus will be attained once this effect is triggered twice.
The shield possesses the following properties:

• Has 250% Electro DMG Absorption Efficiency.
• Applies the Electro element to Beidou upon activation.

Conquer the high seas! Pursue the waves and chase the storm!

• The counter has 0/1 startup frames, depending on whether your input is registered immediately or with a 1 frame delay. Vault Entry
• Tidecaller counter scaling information is tabulated in the table below.

1 Stack	478.72%	3
2 Stacks / Perfect Parry	750.72%	4

Burst

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 the character's resistance to interruption, and decreases DMG taken.

A maximum of 1 lightning discharge can be triggered per second.

With a peal of thunder, Haishan is slain.

Attribute	Burst	Lightning Discharge
Burst DMG (T9%)	206.72%	163.2%
Lightning Bounces	-	2
DMG Reduction	32% (scaling)	-
GU	4U	1U
ICD	-	Standard
Snapshot	Snapshot	Snapshot

Damage Type	Burst	Burst
Energy Cost	80	-
Duration	15s	15s
Cooldown	20s	1s
Poise Damage	400	50
Impulse Type	4	1

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.
• At high ping, Beidou can buffer a Normal Attack hit before activating Q to get a lightning discharge.
