Her normal attack talent is less significant in her play style, so it's more beneficial to invest resources in leveling her elemental skill and elemental burst abilities.

For Raiden Shogun, the ideal artifact set is Emblem of Severed Fate, and she is frequently deployed in the Spiral Abyss. Therefore, it is crucial to equip her with a high-quality artifact set.

The release of Genshin Impact's Raiden Shogun caused a sensation on the internet. Not only was she excellent at applying Electro, but she was also a valuable asset to many team compositions. She provided damage from afar, could serve as a secondary DPS, and was even regarded as a strong support character. However, due to her versatility, players found her build options confusing.

To their surprise, building Raiden Shogun was actually more straightforward than anticipated. She is an exceptional unit that primarily requires high energy recharge. Any additional stats or sub-stats may vary depending on the team composition, but regardless of how players choose to build her, she will always perform admirably.

Genshin Impact's Raiden Shogun's Kit

The normal attack talent in her kit is not particularly useful. It does not significantly impact her play style, regardless of the team she is used in. Even if she is the character played for the longest duration, the most effective talents are the Raiden Shogun's elemental skill and elemental burst. It is widely advised against investing resources in leveling up her normal attack, especially since obtaining hand guards from Nobushi can be challenging.

Her elemental skill resembles a combination of Xingqiu's and Fischl's abilities. When the player uses normal attacks, she occasionally applies Electro and inflicts damage. The best way to utilize this skill is by combining it with other elemental attacks. This can be achieved through abilities such as Xingqiu's burst or normal attacks from a catalyst. Triggering elemental reactions in Genshin Impact is the Raiden Shogun's specialty.

The Dendro update in Genshin Impact has enhanced the gameplay experience. The introduction of new reactions like Spread, Aggravate, and Hyperbloom has made Raiden Shogun even more viable in various team compositions. Considered a meta unit, she is a reliable choice for any player. Even if unsure about her optimal usage, simply adding her to a team is guaranteed to enhance damage output.

Raiden Shogun's elemental burst presents a significant opportunity for dealing massive damage. For approximately seven seconds, she switches from using a polearm to a sword (though this change is purely aesthetic, eliminating the need for a second weapon). While on the battlefield, she inflicts considerable Electro damage. Furthermore, with her second constellation, her damage output is significantly increased, as C2 enables her to ignore 60% of the enemy's DEF.

Ignoring such a significant portion of defense is unreasonable, regardless of the situation. It is widely regarded as the top constellation in Genshin Impact without a doubt. However, players should be aware that she can still deal substantial damage even without the constellation. Utilizing one of Raiden Shogun's recommended weapons and equipping her with the best artifact set available ensures that she remains a formidable damage dealer.

Due to her versatility, players may assume that any artifact set would be suitable for her. While this may vary depending on the team composition, the most optimal choice for Raiden Shogun's artifacts is typically Emblem of Severed Fate. She is frequently used in the Spiral Abyss and is considered a popular character for that particular domain. It is crucial to have at least one high-quality Emblem set for her. Since it has been incorporated into the strongbox as of version 4.0, players can obtain additional sets and store any excess ones in the strongbox in the hopes of obtaining a favorable set for the Shogun and other characters.

The Shogun is a highly versatile unit with multiple uses, making her extremely valuable. Whether she functions as a sub-DPS, a battery, or a support, her usefulness remains consistent. Since her release, the Raiden Shogun has consistently maintained her position in the meta and shows no signs of being dethroned anytime soon.

Genshin Impact can now be played on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5.
