Best artifacts for building Electro DPS Raiden Shogun?

Building an Electro Queen: Raiden Shogun DPS Artifact Guide

Raiden Shogun, also known as Ei, is a powerful Electro character who can excel as a DPS. To build her as a damage-dealing powerhouse, you’ll need the right artifacts. Here’s a breakdown of the best options:

The Core: Emblem of Severed Fate

The Emblem of Severed Fate artifact set is the undisputed king for Raiden Shogun DPS builds.

• 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Electro DMG Bonus by 15%.
• 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Energy Recharge by 25%. For every 100% Energy Recharge above 100%, your Elemental Burst DMG is increased by 25% (maximum 75% bonus).

Why it’s so good:

• Electro DMG Bonus: This is a must-have for any Electro DPS, giving your Shogun a significant boost to her damage output.
• Energy Recharge: Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst is her bread and butter. The 4-piece set bonus helps you get it off cooldown more quickly.
• Elemental Burst DMG Bonus: The higher your Energy Recharge, the more damage your Burst will do!

Secondary Stats to Focus On:

• Energy Recharge: The priority here is high, especially for maximizing the 4-piece bonus. Aim for at least 180% to start with.
• Electro DMG Bonus: Every little bit helps!
• Critical Rate/Damage: This is crucial for maximizing your damage, but can come after Energy Recharge and Electro DMG Bonus.
• Attack%: This stat is less important since Raiden Shogun’s burst scales mainly off Energy Recharge, but it’s still a decent option.

Other Artifact Set Options

While Emblem of Severed Fate is the best option, you can explore other possibilities:

• Thundering Fury (2-Piece + Emblem 2-Piece): Provides a good balance of Electro DMG Bonus and a boost to Electro-charged damage.
• Thundersoother (2-Piece + Emblem 2-Piece): Offers some utility by decreasing opponent Electro RES, which can be helpful against specific enemies.

Which Artifacts to Use:

• Flower: Always use the Sands of Eon artifact for ATK%.
• Plume: Use the Goblet of Eonothem for Electro DMG Bonus.
• Circlet: Choose the Circlet of Logos for Critical Rate/Damage depending on your build.
• Other: Use the appropriate artifacts for your chosen set bonuses.

Tips and Tricks:

• Sub-DPS Raiden: If you’re not building her as a full DPS, consider using a combination of Emblem of Severed Fate and other sets like Noblesse Oblige for support abilities.
• Artifact Farming: The domain "Momiji-Dyed Court" drops Emblem of Severed Fate.
• Don’t Rush Perfection: It takes time to get the best artifact combinations. Focus on getting decent pieces first and gradually upgrade them as you progress.

By focusing on the right artifacts and prioritizing Energy Recharge and Electro DMG Bonus, you’ll have Raiden Shogun unleashing powerful bursts and dominating the battlefield. Remember, it’s a journey of building your perfect Electro queen!
