Okay, so you want to get the best possible artifacts for your Raiden Shogun, focusing on maximizing her Energy Recharge (ER) and Electromagnetic Damage (EM). Here’s a breakdown of how to do it!
1. Understand the Goal
Raiden Shogun thrives on two things: bursting quickly and amplifying Electro damage.
- High ER: This ensures her burst is ready as often as possible. Aim for at least 200% ER for consistent burst uptime.
- High EM: This boosts the damage of your Electro reactions (like Electro-Charged and Superconduct). It allows your team to deal massive Electro damage.
2. Artifact Sets
Here are the top artifact sets for a high-ER/EM Raiden Shogun:
- 4-Piece Emblem of Severed Fate: This set provides the biggest ER bonus (20%) and also increases burst damage based on ER. It’s the ideal set for Raiden Shogun.
- 2-Piece Emblem of Severed Fate + 2-Piece Thundering Fury: This combo gives you a balanced approach, offering both high ER and good Electro damage bonus.
- 4-Piece Thundering Fury: While this set provides more Electro damage, it lacks the ER boost you need for Raiden. It’s better for pure Electro damage dealers who don’t rely on burst as much.
3. Artifact Stats
- Sands of Eon: Energy Recharge% is the priority here.
- Goblet of Eonothem: Electro Damage Bonus% is the clear choice.
- Circlet of Logos: You have two options:
- Electro Damage Bonus%: For maximum Electro damage.
- Critical Rate%: For a balance of damage and consistency. (This can be more useful if you lack Crit Rate on other pieces)
- Sub-Stats: Prioritize Energy Recharge%, Electro Damage Bonus%, Critical Rate%, and Critical Damage%.
4. Farming Tips
- Domain of Deception: This domain drops the Emblem of Severed Fate set and Thundering Fury set. It’s your main source for these artifacts.
- Grind Efficiently: Don’t worry about perfect sub-stats right away. Get a decent base set first and then start focusing on refinements.
- Use the "Artifact Strongbox": This tool in your inventory lets you lock your best artifacts and prevent accidentally using them for weapon/character ascension.
- Don’t Be Afraid to Recycle: You’ll likely get a lot of sub-par artifacts. Don’t hesitate to use the Artifact Strongbox to recycle them for upgrade materials.
5. Consider Your Team
- Team Synergy: If you’re using Raiden with other Electro characters, prioritize EM even more.
- Electro Reactions: Make sure your team can consistently trigger Electro reactions to utilize Raiden’s EM boost effectively.
6. Patience is Key
Artifact farming takes time. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find perfect artifacts right away. Keep grinding and you’ll eventually get the pieces you need to make your Raiden Shogun a powerhouse.
A Final Note: While focusing on ER and EM is essential for Raiden, some players may find that a small amount of Crit Rate and Crit Damage can make a difference. Don’t neglect these stats completely, especially if you’re lacking in those areas. The key is to find a balance that suits your playstyle and team composition. Good luck with your farming!
