Overview
Beidou supplies bouncing Electro discharges and defensive support while another character drives her Burst. Witch’s Revelation lets her held counter accumulate power without incoming attacks, improving control over its Energy refund. Her C6 also gains conditional Stellar-Conduct support in a Polestar Field.
Role
Off-field Electro discharge damage / defensive support
Playstyle
Build counter power, cast Stormbreaker after buffs, then switch to a driver who lands eligible attacks.
Why It Works
Stormbreaker needs eligible attack hits and limits discharge frequency.
Watch For
Bounce damage depends on available targets; a single-target encounter is not the same discharge situation as multiple enemies.
Playstyle
Combat Flow
After Revelation, hold Tidecaller to accumulate power even without an incoming hit, then release into an opponent for the refund. Cast Stormbreaker after buffs and switch to an eligible Normal or Charged attacker.
Key Notes
After Witch’s Revelation, held Tidecaller gains a power stack every 0.8 seconds without needing an enemy hit.
Releasing the held Skill into an opponent refunds 8 Energy and reduces Skill cooldown by 4 seconds per stack. This benefit has a 15-second trigger interval.
Stormbreaker still needs eligible Normal or Charged hits. Raiden’s Burst attacks cannot drive it.
At C6 in Radiance: Stellar-Conduct, Stormbreaker also lowers nearby Cryo resistance by 15% and grants the active character 200 EM. A Stellar enabler is still required.
