Roles & Playstyle Of Raiden Shogun and Its Strengths and Weaknesses

▼ On-Field Electro DPS▼ Sub-DPS Raiden Shogun

On-Field DPS Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun's intended role is to be an Electro DPS that can easily charge her team's Elemental Bursts for faster rotations. Using her can be somewhat complicated as her stats and sub-DPS compatibility is different from other DPS characters.

Pros and Cons of On-Field DPS Raiden Shogun

Pros
- Can fully charge Off-Field characters during her Elemental Burst DPS duration.
- Decent damage as On-Field DPS and can still use her Off-Field attacks for additional damage.
- Able to use Normal Attacks during DPS state while dealing Elemental Burst damage.
Cons
- Incompatible with Beidou who could reduce damage taken and increase interruption resistance while dealing Off-Field Electro attacks.
- Which stat you build on Raiden Shogun would depend on whether you have her signature weapon or not.L Building both ATK and Energy Recharge can work but you have to consider her Electro DMG stat since her Passive can give her Electro DMG based on Energy Recharge.

Sub-DPS Raiden Shogun

As sub-DPS, Raiden Shogun can be used in multiple teams. Since her Elemental Skill's Off-Field attack requirement is damage dealt, she can be used as sub-DPS for any team with an active attacker.

Pros and Cons of Sub-DPS Raiden Shogun

Pros
- Has great Attack AoE for her Off-Field attack.
- Long duration in Elemental Skill allows for more time to teammates' rotations.
- Buffs the Elemental Burst damage of her teammates based on Energy Costs of their Bursts.
Cons
- Her Energy charging mechanic is locked in her Burst DPS mode which is often unused for sub-DPS Raiden Shogun.

Best Build for Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun has the capability of being both an On-Field and Off-Field damage dealer. While her damage is weaker compared to the top DPS characters, using her as either On-Fielder or Sub-DPS is fine. Since Electro can be used in multiple reactions and the damage scales on differing stats, stat recommendations change based on the team comp.

When building Raiden Shogun as on-field DPS, Emblem of Severed Fate is her best artifact since it increase Elemental Burst damage and Energy Recharge. With her Passive (as well as her Signature Weapon), ATK is not as important as Energy Recharge but it still must be considered.

Since Hyperbloom is Raiden Shogun's most popular sub-DPS build, you only have to consider Elemental Mastery. Her personal damage can be built for but Hyperbloom only requires Elemental Mastery for the reaction damage.

Best Weapon for Raiden Shogun

The weapon options for Raiden Shogun will change depending on what stat is needed to boost the main damage dealt by her intended build. If she's being built as Main DPS, focus on her Energy Recharge, ATK and CRIT stats. But if she's being built for Hyperbloom or EM-based reactions, focus on building her Elemental Mastery instead.

Raiden Shogun's best weapon for Hyperbloom Off-Fielder is Dragon's Bane due to its high Elemental Mastery stat of 221. Ballad of the Fjords comes in second since it's Elemental Mastery buff from weapon skill is 120 at Refine 1 and gains a higher EM stat when R5 with 240 EM buffed.

Raiden Shogun Best Artifacts

For Sub-Stats, CRIT Stats and ATK Works the Best

Raiden Shogun's best artifact set doesn't have any CRIT stat set effect so it's best to build those on her main stat and sub stats in Artifacts. If using Engulfing Lightning, going for an ATK sands is better since there would probably be enough Electro DMG Bonus already.

ArtifactRecommendationDetails
Flower of Paradise LostFlower of Paradise Lost★★★★★- Best Artifact for Hyperbloom Raiden Shogun.- Able to boost both Elemental Mastery and Hyperbloom damage.

- Aggravate Raiden Shogun is one of the easier teams to build for her if she's C0. National team or "Rational" is another one of those teams.- With Nahida's powerful and consistent Dendro application, Raiden Shogun can trigger Quicken and Aggravate to boost the damage of her Attacks.- Xilonen and Sara provides damage-boosting buffs and debuffs.

Kujou Sara is nigh inseparable from Hypercarry Raiden Shogun since her costly Elemental Burst and buffs (that improve greatly with Constellations) have great synergy with Raiden Shogun. In other Hypercarry Raiden teams, Sara is still one of her best partners. Nahida and Xilonen are the standard duo for Aggravate teams since one has the best Dendro application while the other has powerful Elemental damage-boosting and healing.

Notes About Team Comps For Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun is a strong and flexible character. You can fit her in most Electro comps and her Energy charging ability from her Burst is great across all teams. Her only downside is that she can steal reactions with her Elemental Skill.

Team Rotation of Raiden Shogun & Combos

Rotation of Raiden Shogun as On-Fielder

Basic Rotation of DPS Raiden Shogun
1. Use Elemental Skill (for Viridescent Venerer buff or Scroll set buff).2. Switch to other characters for buffing.3. Switch to Raiden Shogun and use her Elemental Burst.4. Deal damage with Normal/Charged Attacks until buffs expire.

Raiden Shogun is similar to use with other DPS characters. Apply her Element then switch her out for the support/sub-DPS characters to use their abilities. Then switch back to Raiden Shogun to deal damage.

Rotation For Sub-DPS Raiden Shogun

Basic Rotation of Sub-DPS Raiden Shogun
1. Use Elemental Skill2. Switch to other characters.*Use Elemental Burst if using Raiden Shogun as 2nd DPS or to charge the team's Energy.

Sub-DPS Raiden Shogun is very easy to use. You just have to use her Elemental Skill and then switch to other characters and proc her Off-Field Attacks by dealing damage to enemies.

Basics Of Using Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun can be used as either Main DPS or Off-Field sub-DPS. While both seem very different from each other, sub-DPS Raiden Shogun is simply not using her Elemental Burst, thus removing her Main DPS state.

For Main DPS, Use Elemental Burst to Enter Musou Isshin State

Musou Isshin state is Raiden Shogun's DPS mode. All of her Attacks will be infused with Electro and she deals Elemental Burst damage instead. The damage dealt during this state increases based on her Resolve stacks.

Methods of Obtaining Resolve Stacks

MethodResolve Stacks Gained
Per 1 Energy consumed from teammates' Bursts0.2 Resolve Stacks
If an Energy Orb obtained by teammate every 3 seconds2 Resolve Stacks

Raiden Shogun obtains Resolve Stacks from her teammates. Since her max stack count is 60, her best teammates would be the characters with high Energy cost. See below for recommended characters.

Energy CostRecommended Characters
80Kujou SaraBaizhuXingqiuSucroseJean
70YelanPyro TravelerKokomi

For Sub-DPS, Use Only Elemental Skill

Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill is the most important part of her Sub-DPS build. It can deal Off-Field Electro damage as long as damage is dealt to the enemy. However her Artifact build will differ depending on the team comp.

For Hyperbloom or Electro-Charged Raiden Shogun, Elemental Mastery is preferred but as a normal Electro sub-DPS, ATK/Energy Recharge build is fine.

Uses Of Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill

Deals Periodic Electro Damage With All Attack

While Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill is active, a constant periodic Electro damage will be unleashed. This will work in time with other attacks. This also works even if Raiden Shogun is not the one dealing the attacks.

Builds Resolve Stacks When Other Characters Use Their Bursts

During its duration, whenever characters use their Burst, they will add Resolve Stacks to Raiden Shogun. You can check how much you have by the amount lighted up in the circle that the skill creates. The more Resolve Stacks you have, the higher the damage will be added to your Burst damage!

Uses Of Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst

Deals A High-Damage Initial Slash

When you unleash Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst, it will start off with an initial slash, the biggest single damage from her Burst! This is purely Electro damage!

Imbues Electro & Changes Raiden Shogun's Normal Attack Animations

After her Burst, for a short duration, Raiden Shogun's Normal Attacks will be imbued with Electro. Her Normal Attack string will also change, as well as her Charged Attack!

Gives Energy To The Team

With every hit from her burst, you gain energy for the rest of your team. This will allow you to use their Bursts to fill up Resolve Stacks, Just make sure Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill is active.

Should You Pull for Raiden Shogun's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Prioritize Raiden Shogun's Constellations

Signature VS Constellations
C2 > C3 > Engulfing LightningEngulfing Lightning > C1

C2 is a Noticeable Damage Increase

Raiden Shogun at C0 is a capable and flexible Electro character that can be used in a variety of teams as either the on-field DPS or as an off-field Electro applicator. If you are set on vertically investing your pulls into her as on-field DPS, C2 is a good stopping point and will allow her to deal damage that is significantly better than her C0 performance. While Engulfing Lightning will probably offer the most Energy Recharge on any polearm, The Catch is a great alternative in place of it for her hypercarry teams and can allow you to divert funds elsewhere, such as into Raiden Shogun's C3 that adds more levels to her burst, which will further her damage potential in tandem with C2, or into other characters' constellations and weapons.

You can still consider getting Engulfing Lightning for Raiden Shogun if you already have her C2, or if you can only afford up to C1. Her Signature Weapon is the better upgrade over C1 because the easier stack generation it gives is more Quality of Life oriented, rather than damage. Engulfing Lightning is also usable on off-field characters such as Xiangling, Shenhe, Candace or even Iansan, since they can benefit from the Energy Recharge and Attack bonuses. Consider your preferences, fund availability and possibly even the use-cases prior to pulling.

If you plan to use Raiden Shogun mostly off-field, such as in Hyperbloom teams, then neither her constellations nor her Signature Weapon will be an upgrade since that playstyle only needs her to activate her Skill every now and then.

Raiden Shogun's Constellations & Effects

Musou Isshin

Effect
While in this state, the Raiden Shogun will wield her tachi in battle, while her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be infused with Electro DMG, which cannot be overridden. When such attacks hit opponents, she will regenerate Energy for all nearby party members. Energy can be restored this way once every 1s, and this effect can be triggered 5 times throughout this skill's duration. While in this state, the Raiden Shogun's resistance to interruption is increased, and she is immune to Electro-Charged reaction DMG. While Musou Isshin is active, the Raiden Shogun's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will be considered Elemental Burst DMG. The effects of Musou Isshin will be cleared when the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.
