Building the Best Raiden Shogun: A Guide to Artifacts
Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, is a powerful DPS character in Genshin Impact. To maximize her damage output, you need the right artifacts! This guide will break down the best artifact sets for Raiden Shogun and how to farm them.
Two Main Artifact Sets:
- Emblem of Severed Fate: This 4-piece set is the undisputed king for Raiden Shogun. It increases her Energy Recharge by 25% and grants a boost to her Elemental Burst damage based on her Energy Recharge. The more Energy Recharge you have, the more damage her Burst will deal!
- Thundering Fury: This 4-piece set is a good alternative if you need more Electro damage. It increases Electro damage by 15% and further boosts the damage dealt by Electro reactions (Overload, Electro-Charged, and Superconduct) by 40%. This set works well if you’re using Raiden Shogun with other Electro characters.
Which Set is Best?
The choice between Emblem and Thundering Fury depends on your team composition and playstyle.
- Emblem of Severed Fate: If you want to focus on maximizing Raiden Shogun’s Burst damage and don’t need additional Electro damage, Emblem is the better option.
- Thundering Fury: If you’re running a team that relies heavily on Electro reactions and need more Electro damage, Thundering Fury might be a better choice.
Key Artifact Stats:
Here’s a breakdown of the most important stats to focus on for Raiden Shogun:
- Energy Recharge: This is absolutely crucial! Raiden Shogun thrives on using her Burst often. Aim for as much Energy Recharge as possible, ideally over 200%.
- Electro Damage Bonus: This increases the damage dealt by all your Electro attacks.
- Critical Rate/Critical Damage: The standard damage-boosting stats. Aim for a good balance between these two, around 1:2 ratio (e.g., 50% Crit Rate, 100% Crit Damage).
