Okay, let’s talk about building a team around Raiden Shogun that focuses on the Hyperbloom reaction!
The Hyperbloom reaction is awesome because it’s a powerful way to deal damage without needing to rely on a lot of crit rate or crit damage. It’s especially great with Raiden because she can help boost the reaction even more.
Here’s a breakdown of a team composition that utilizes this strategy:
Raiden Shogun: As the core of the team, Raiden Shogun’s role is crucial. Her Elemental Skill, "Transcendence: Baleful Omen," is the key to triggering Hyperbloom. When she’s in the field, her Skill provides a powerful electro aura that helps set off the reaction. Make sure you build her with Energy Recharge as her main stat (preferably with a The Catch weapon) so she can easily regenerate her burst, "Musou no Hitotachi," which adds even more Electro damage and boosts your team’s damage output.
Kuki Shinobu: This is your Dendro applicator. With her Elemental Skill, "Sanctifying Ring," she can apply Dendro to enemies frequently, allowing you to trigger Hyperbloom consistently. Kuki is also a great healer, making her an incredibly useful teammate. She should be built with Energy Recharge as her main stat. The Favonius Sword weapon is an excellent choice for her because it can recharge her energy and help keep her burst up often.
The Traveler (Dendro): This is your second Dendro applicator. They provide consistent Dendro application through their Elemental Skill, "Visions of the World," which can quickly switch between Dendro and Electro. Their Elemental Burst, "Wildering Winds," can help keep your team topped up with energy. You can build The Traveler with either Energy Recharge or Elemental Mastery as the main stat. The Fruit of Fulfillment weapon is ideal, providing a boost to both Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge.
Yae Miko: While not strictly necessary, Yae Miko is a great addition to the team. She can provide continuous Electro damage through her Elemental Skill, "Fox’s Shadow," which helps fuel Hyperbloom and keep enemies stunned. Build her with Elemental Mastery as her main stat for the most optimal Hyperbloom damage output. The Kagura’s Verity weapon is a top choice for Yae Miko in this team composition.
How It Works:
- Apply Dendro: Kuki Shinobu and the Traveler constantly apply Dendro to enemies with their skills.
- Trigger Hyperbloom: Raiden Shogun’s electro aura interacts with the Dendro, triggering Hyperbloom.
- Maximize Damage: The Hyperbloom reaction creates powerful AoE damage and, with Yae Miko’s Electro application, amplifies this damage even further.
- Raiden’s Burst: With high Energy Recharge, Raiden Shogun’s "Musou no Hitotachi" is always available, significantly boosting your team’s attack power and dealing even more damage.
Advantages of this Team:
- High Damage Output: Hyperbloom is a powerful reaction that deals impressive AoE damage.
- Self-Sustaining: Kuki Shinobu’s healing keeps the team healthy, making it easier to sustain long fights.
- Consistent Energy Recharge: The team’s composition is designed to keep everyone’s bursts up frequently.
This team composition is just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with different characters and weapons to find what works best for you!
