Electrifying Fun with Raiden Shogun: Building the Perfect Electro-Charged Squad
Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, is a powerhouse when it comes to unleashing devastating Electro-Charged reactions. But to truly maximize her potential, you need a team that complements her strengths and plays into the reaction’s unique mechanics.
Here’s how to build a killer Electro-Charged team with Raiden Shogun at its heart:
1. The Electro Empress: Raiden Shogun
Raiden Shogun, with her burst’s ability to boost Electro damage and her powerful strikes, is the core of any Electro-Charged team. She provides the base Electro application, but also benefits from the extra damage Electro-Charged reactions provide.
2. The Water Wizard: Yelan or Xingqiu
You need a Hydro character to activate the Electro-Charged reaction. Yelan and Xingqiu are fantastic choices thanks to their ability to apply Hydro consistently and without interrupting your team’s flow. Yelan brings high damage potential and off-field Hydro application, while Xingqiu offers unparalleled healing and additional damage support. Choose the one that best fits your playstyle and team needs.
3. The Elemental Catalyst: Fischl or Beidou
This is where things get interesting. You need a character who can consistently apply Electro, ideally off-field, to keep the Electro-Charged chain going. Both Fischl and Beidou are excellent choices.
-
Fischl: With her Oz, Fischl can apply Electro continuously even during your Raiden Shogun’s burst. Her synergy with Raiden Shogun’s burst is exceptional as Oz’s attacks can trigger Electro-Charged reactions, boosting her damage.
-
Beidou: Beidou offers powerful on-field damage and a counter attack that can trigger Electro-Charged reactions. She’s particularly useful for triggering the reaction against large groups of enemies, allowing Raiden Shogun to focus on unleashing her burst.
4. The Support Specialist
The fourth slot is flexible and depends on your needs. Here are some options:
-
Bennett: Bennett is a fantastic addition to any team, providing powerful attack boosts and healing. He’s especially strong with Raiden Shogun as they both benefit from Energy Recharge.
-
Diona: If you need more healing and shield support, Diona is a fantastic option. Her shield is highly effective and her burst can heal the team while providing additional Cryo application, which can trigger Superconduct (reducing enemy physical resistance) to further amplify your team’s damage.
-
Kazuha: Kazuha is a flexible support character with powerful crowd control and elemental damage bonuses. His ability to swirl Hydro or Electro enhances Electro-Charged reactions, making him a great pick.
Key Considerations:
-
Energy Recharge: Focus on building Energy Recharge for Raiden Shogun, Yelan/Xingqiu, and your Electro sub-DPS (Fischl or Beidou) to keep your burst cycles going.
-
Electro Damage Bonus: For both Raiden Shogun and your Electro sub-DPS, prioritize Electro Damage Bonus to maximize your Electro-Charged damage.
-
Team Synergy: Consider how each character’s abilities interact. Fischl’s Oz works well with Raiden Shogun’s burst, while Beidou’s counter attacks can trigger Electro-Charged reactions while she’s off-field.
Remember, building a team takes experimentation and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each character. Try different combinations and find what works best for you!
