Choosing the best artifact set for Raiden Shogun as your main DPS is all about maximizing her damage output, which is primarily focused on her Elemental Burst, "Musou no Hitotachi." Here are some popular choices:
1. Emblem of Severed Fate: This is the go-to set for most Raiden Shogun builds. It’s a powerful choice because it focuses on boosting the damage of her Elemental Burst.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Energy Recharge +20%
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. This means the more Energy Recharge you have, the harder your Burst hits!
Why Emblem of Severed Fate is Great:
- High Damage: The 4-piece bonus directly increases your Burst damage, which is Raiden Shogun’s main source of damage.
- Energy Recharge: Raiden Shogun needs a lot of Energy Recharge to recharge her Burst quickly. This set helps you get that.
2. Thundering Fury: While not as popular as Emblem, Thundering Fury can be a good choice if you’re focusing on Electro damage and want to enhance reactions like Electro-Charged and Superconduct.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Electro DMG Bonus +15%
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases damage from Electro reactions by 40%.
When Thundering Fury is a Good Option:
- Electro Reactions: If you’re running a team that focuses on Electro reactions like Electro-Charged or Superconduct, this set can significantly boost the damage from those reactions.
- Alternative: If you don’t have good Emblem artifacts or you’re trying to build a team with different strategies.
3. The New Artifact Set: The "Gilded Dreams" Set
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental DMG Bonus by 14%
- 4-Piece Bonus: After using an Elemental Burst, Increases Elemental DMG of your team by 14% for 12s, and increases the DMG of your team’s attacks based on the element of your Elemental Burst (In Raiden Shogun’s case, this would be Electro damage). This effect can be triggered even if the character who used the Elemental Burst is not on the field.
Why Gilded Dreams is a Good Choice:
- Team DMG Boost: This set focuses on boosting the damage of all your team members, including Raiden Shogun. This can be really helpful for teams that use a lot of different attacks.
- Bonus DMG: The set provides a good amount of Elemental DMG Bonus for both Raiden Shogun and your team members, making it a flexible option for many team compositions.
Tips for Choosing Your Set:
- Team Composition: Consider the rest of your team. If you’re building a team with a lot of Electro reactions, Thundering Fury might be better. If you want to maximize Raiden Shogun’s Burst damage, Emblem is the way to go.
- Artifact Farming: Farming for artifacts takes time, so don’t be afraid to try different combinations to see what works best for your team. It might take a while to find the "perfect" set, but it’s worth it in the end!
No matter which set you choose, make sure you focus on getting the right sub-stats for Raiden Shogun. Prioritize Energy Recharge, Electro Damage Bonus, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, and Attack. Finding the right balance between these stats is key to building a powerful Raiden Shogun.
Remember, building your characters takes time and experimentation. Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t happen overnight. Keep practicing, farming artifacts, and you’ll eventually have a Raiden Shogun that can unleash devastating attacks!
