Much like every other title, Genshin Impact also goes through serious changes with each update. miHoYo has pushed the meta towards electro characters with the recent buff. This has changed the roles of several characters, who were previously used for utility purposes only. 4-star electro characters like Fischl and Beidou are now dealing significantly greater damage.

Fischl can be a strong sub-DPS character now, but Beidou can actually become a primary DPS unit in this patch. The changes to electro elemental reaction have amped up her damage scaling exponentially.
