To elaborate more, her HP buffs the shield she gets from Stormbreaker, and her Elemental Mastery enhances all the reactions she’ll trigger. As for the best Claymore for Beidou inGenshin Impact, players have a wide variety of weapons to choose from since Beidou can handle any job.
Updated Jun 25, 2025, by Nahda Nabiilah: Beidou is one of the few Genshin Impact characters that’s available upon release and is still dominating the meta. Other examples would include units like Xingqiu, Xiangling, and Bennett, the trio who would bring a lot of values to their team. Considering the never ending popularity of Beidou, it’s no surprise if players continuously seek suitable equipment for her. When it comes to The Crux Captain, she fits with a large variety of weapon, so this article is updated to include some more options.
11Blackcliff Slasher
Blackcliff Slasher may not be optimal for an off-field sub-DPS like Beidou (since its passive will hardly trigger), but it’s still decent thanks to its offensive stat. Additionally, since this Claymore is obtainable for F2P players and is useful for many characters, it has a high investment value.
10Sacrificial Greatsword
Sacrificial Greatswordis great to help Beidou regain her Elemental Burst. In exchange for her immense power, the Pirate Captain has a demanding Energy requirement which means players' top priority should be having enough Energy Recharge. However, it’s best to not use this Claymore at low refinement as it won’t fit nicely in her rotation.
9Luxurious Sea Lord
Although Luxurious Sea Lord is a F2P weapon, it’s still a decentGenshin Impact4-star weaponBeidou can wield. On R5, The fishy Claymore increases Beidou’s Elemental Burst by 24%. That’s very good considering Beidou’s best talent is her Burst. On top of that, Luxurious Sea Lord will also summon an AoE attack every 15 seconds that inflict up to 200% of Beidou’s ATK.
8Rainslasher

Rainslasheris a solid pick forBeidou inGenshin Impact. The weapon increases Beidou’s DMG overall against enemies affected by Hydro and Electro, which only works in team comps that focus on Electro-charge reactions. Rainslasher also grants Beidou 165 Elemental Mastery that further increases her Electro-related reactions. Players can still build Beidou on CRIT build to maximize her Elemental Burst DMG and benefit from the extra DMG on her reactions.
7Lithic Blade
Lithic Bladeis extremely limited because of its passive that forces players to play onlyGenshin ImpactLiyue characters to build the Claymore’s passive. On R5, Lithic Blade can end up giving Beidou around 84% ATK and 28% CRIT Rate. A solid stats that can massively improve the impact that Beidou brings to the field when she unleashes her Stormbreaker.
6Skyward Pride
Skyward Prideis amazing for Beidou if players are struggling with her Energy requirement. Its passive is useless since she should stay as a sub-DPS, but the 8% universal DMG bonus is bound to be useful.
5Akuoumaru

Akuoumaruis rarely talked about, but it’s an excellent weapon for any character that depends on theirElemental Burst inGenshin Impact. On R5, Akuoumaru can grant Beidou up to 80% extra DMG on her Stormbreaker. However, to reach this insane buff, players have to meet the condition of including characters with 80+ energy requirements inside Beidou’s team compositions.
4The Unforged
The Unforged’s passive only stacks when the wielder is on-field, so it’s not very useful for a sub-DPS like Beidou. Nevertheless, it’s still a great stat stick, so it almost always do well. If players don’t own a better alternative, than a universal stat-stick likeThe Unforgedcan be a great investment.
3Serpent Spine
Serpent Spine is easily one of Beidou’sbest weapons inGenshin Impact. However, it’s not easy to operate Beidou with the battle pass Claymore, especially if she’s operating as an off-field Sub-DPS. Beidou won’t have any field time, and she will mostly take three seconds to cast her Skill and Burst.
2Redhorn Stonethresher

Redhorn Stonethresheris useless on most Claymore users inGenshin Impact. Yet, its high stats save this weapon from being neglected by everyone. The decent Base stat and the crazy 88% CRIT DMG put Redhorn Stonethresher amongthe best Claymores inGenshin Impact. While Beidou doesn’t benefit from Redhorn’s passive, she still can use its stat to enhance her gameplay.
