Recommended Characters
As the Flame-Mane’s signature weapon, Beacon of the Reed Sea is undeniably Dehya’s best choice. Everything that this claymore has to offer further improves her potential. This claymore increases her HP (when not protected by a shield) and ATK stats, which both help increase her damage output. For more details about Dehya, be sure to check out our Dehya Build Guide here.
Moreover, this claymore’s effect can be triggered even if the equipping character is off-field, so you can still take advantage of the buffs it provides whether you choose to have this weapon equipped by an on-field or off-field character.
Another character who can benefit from this weapon is the 5-star Pyro character Diluc as he can spam his Elemental Skill, triggering the claymore’s ATK buff easily. While Diluc doesn’t have any HP-scaling talents, the bonus HP that Beacon of the Reed Sea provides can still be useful for tanking incoming enemy attacks.
The same thing can be said about claymore-wielding characters Eula, Razor, and Beidou. While they can’t spam their Elemental Skills as much as Diluc, they still have a relatively low Elemental Skill cooldown that can easily work with the Beacon of the Reed Sea‘s 8-second buff duration.
