What are the best teams for Beidou in Genshin Impact?
Beidou is an electro sub-DPS and historically works best with hydro or dendro elements to make use of the hyperbloom and electro-charged reactions. Since the addition of stellar-conduct, this opens her up to cryo-based teams, too. You should use her with a strong DPS who can make use of her lightning when she unleashes her elemental skill and/or burst.
Here are some examples of Beidou's best teams:

 Sandrone |
 Yae Miko |
