Players will now be able to use Beidou as a playable character in Genshin Impact. Beidou is a character that originates from Liyue, and she is the captain of the Crux Fleet, which can be used to help the Traveler sneak into Inazuma. Beidou is a 4-star Electro character wielding an enormous red and black Claymore weapon. Players will need to gather the required resources that will be needed for her ascension and talent to have Beidou join their team and maximize her skills. Additionally, players will need to collect 1,000 Thunder Pellets and 1,000 Thunder Crystals to unlock this character.
Every character in Genshin Impact requires 8,362,650 experience to reach level 90. Players can use a variety of materials to level Beidou to 90, such as 12 Wanderer's Advice, 15 Adventurer's Experience, 414 Hero's Wit, and 1,673,400 Mora. Additionally, because Beidou is an Electro character with Electro Vision, she will require 1 Vajrada Amethyst Sliver, 9 Vajrada Amethyst Fragments, 9 Vajrada Amethyst Chunks, and 6 Vajrada Amethyst Gemstones to level her Electro ability. In addition to these items, Beidou will also require 46 Lightning Prisms, 18 Treasure Hoarder Insignias, 30 Silver Raven Insignia, 30 Golden Raven Insignia, and 168 Noctilucous Jade to fully ascend to level 90.
To ascend in Genshin Impact, Beidou requires Lightning Prisms, which players can find as a random drop from the enemy Electro Hypostasis, which is located Mondstadt to the East. Of note, players will only obtain this reward if they defeat the enemy at level 30 or higher. Additionally, Treasure Hoarder drops, including their Insignias and the Silver and Golden Raven Insignias, are a plentiful material that can be found almost anywhere, but they are most abundant around the ruins in Liyue.
Beidou Ascension And Talent Materials In Genshin Impact
Beidou requires the final ascension material, which can only be found while mining. Therefore, the only location to find this rare material is in caves around Liyue in Genshin Impact, specifically near Mingyun Village. Additionally, players can purchase this material from Shitou, the Jade Mystery vendor in Liyue Harbor. This vendor will offer five Noctilucous Jade for 1,000 Mora each, and he restocks them every three days.
In addition to gathering the materials for Beidou's ascension, players may want to acquire her talent materials too. With upgraded talents, characters in Genshin Impact perform better in combat. For Beidou, players will need 9 Teachings of Gold, 63 Guide to Gold, 114 Philosophies of Gold, 18 Treasure Hoarder Insignia, 66 Silver Raven Insignia, 93 Golden Raven Insignia, 18 Dvalin's Sigh, 3 Crown of Insight, and 4,957,500 Mora to level her talent.
In Genshin Impact, Beidou's talent books are a part of the Gold series, and these books are acquired from Taishan Mansion on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Therefore, when players are farming for the Treasure Hoarder items for her ascension, they may want to collect extra to cover her talent requirements as well. Additionally, players will require a Crown of Insight to upgrade a talent to its final level, which means players need three items in total to max out all three of Beidou's talents. The Crown of Insight can be earned as a reward during some major events, or players can acquire them by making offerings to the Frostbearing Tree on Dragonspine or the Sacred Sakura of Inazuma.
Genshin Impact is available on PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, iOS, and Android.
