Unlocking Raiden Shogun’s Electro-Charged Fury
Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, is a powerhouse when it comes to dealing big burst damage. But to truly unleash her full potential, you need the right tools for the job – that means choosing the best artifacts for her!
When building Raiden Shogun for an Electro-Charged team, your main goal is to maximize her burst damage while also supporting the team’s overall Electro-Charged reaction. Here’s a breakdown of the best artifact sets and how to use them:
The Core: Electro DMG Bonus & Energy Recharge
- Electro DMG Bonus: This is a must-have for any Electro character, and Raiden Shogun is no exception. You’ll want to prioritize this goblet artifact as it directly boosts her Electro damage output.
- Energy Recharge: Raiden Shogun’s burst, "Musou no Hitotachi," is her bread and butter. To use it frequently, you need to build her Energy Recharge so she can recharge her burst quickly. Aim for around 180% to 200% Energy Recharge for optimal burst uptime.
The Top Choices:
-
4-Piece Emblem of Severed Fate: This set is a powerhouse for Raiden Shogun. It provides a massive boost to her Energy Recharge (20% bonus) and also increases her burst damage based on her Energy Recharge! This synergy makes it the top choice for maximizing her burst damage.
-
2-Piece Emblem of Severed Fate + 2-Piece Thundering Fury: This is a solid alternative if you need a bit more Electro DMG Bonus. Thundering Fury provides 15% Electro DMG Bonus, while Emblem still provides 20% Energy Recharge. This combination balances burst damage with Electro reaction synergy.
Stat Priority:
- Sands of Eon: Energy Recharge is king for this artifact, as it directly boosts her burst uptime.
- Goblet of Eonothem: Electro DMG Bonus is non-negotiable.
- Circlet of Logos: Critical Rate or Critical Damage – choose based on your existing stats.
Sub-Stats:
- Energy Recharge: The most important sub-stat to prioritize, especially if you don’t have enough on your main stats.
- Electro DMG Bonus: Another great sub-stat that adds extra Electro damage.
- Critical Rate and Critical Damage: The standard damage-boosting sub-stats.
Beyond Artifacts:
- Weapon: The best weapon for Raiden Shogun in an Electro-Charged team is the Engulfing Lightning. This weapon provides a significant boost to Energy Recharge and also increases burst damage.
- Team Composition: You’ll need to pair Raiden Shogun with Electro and Hydro characters to trigger Electro-Charged reactions. Popular team compositions include Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, Xingqiu, and Bennett.
- Skill Rotation: Maximize your Electro-Charged damage by using Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Skill to generate Electro particles, and then follow it up with Xingqiu’s Hydro application to trigger Electro-Charged.
Final Words:
Building Raiden Shogun for an Electro-Charged team requires a focus on burst damage and supporting the team’s reaction synergy. By choosing the right artifacts and prioritizing the correct stats, you can unlock her full potential and unleash a whirlwind of Electro-Charged destruction on your enemies!
