With that said, one of the game's most versatile characters is without a doubt the Captain of the Crux Fleet Beidou, who's capable of taking on the role of Main DPS, as well as the one of Elemental Skill and Burst Support efficiently.
Is Beidou a support character?
Beidou is a defensive character that relies on countering enemy attacks and delivering high damage. Her Elemental Skill, Tidecaller, is most effective after timing it with the enemy attack.
Does Beidou need defense?
Even at lower constellations, Beidou isn't too far off from being one of the most powerful DPS characters in the game. Her Elemental Skill is a perfect blend of offense and defense while her Elemental Burst contributes much to her consistent damage stream.
