Also, you can pick Pyro casters to activate Recharge reaction under Beidou’s Burst it will deal a lot of damage. In the composition above you can see Eula main physical DPS build where Beidou is a sub-DPS. Fischl provides with an additional source of permanent Electro powers and activates Electro resonance.

Beidou has powerful attacks that make her a strong main DPS, in addition, she also is a great Electro spreader. On the other hand, her burst has high energy cost. So you need to form a team that will help Beidou gain energy faster and increase the power of her Burst with Electro reactions. With Xingqiu Hydro element Beidou deals AoE Electro damage. Fischl not only provides the team with Electro Resonance but also enabling Beidou to fill her Burst faster. Diona is good to trigger Superconduct and providing shields.
