Building a strong Electro DPS team for Raiden Shogun is all about maximizing her damage output and taking advantage of her unique abilities. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
The Core: Raiden Shogun
- Build Focus: You want to prioritize Electro damage bonus and Energy Recharge on Raiden Shogun. Electro damage bonus makes her hit harder, while Energy Recharge lets her use her Elemental Burst (Musou no Hitotachi) more often.
- Weapons: The ideal weapon is the Engulfing Lightning, a five-star polearm designed for Raiden Shogun. It boosts her Energy Recharge and Attack. If you don’t have it, the Prototype Starglitter (four-star) is a good alternative.
- Artifacts: The best artifact set for Raiden Shogun is the "Emblem of Severed Fate". It’s a four-piece set that increases Energy Recharge and boosts her Elemental Burst damage based on her Energy Recharge. You can also use a mix of "Thundering Fury" (two-piece) and "Emblem of Severed Fate" (two-piece) for a balance of Electro damage and Energy Recharge.
Supporting Characters:
1. The Battery: A battery character is essential for Raiden Shogun because her Elemental Burst is her main source of damage. The battery character’s role is to give her energy so she can use her Burst frequently. Here are some excellent choices:
- Fischl: Her Oz creates Electro particles, which generate energy for Raiden Shogun. She’s a great all-around support character.
- Kujou Sara: Another Electro character who can provide Raiden Shogun with Energy Recharge and Attack boosts.
- Yae Miko: With her Elemental Skill, Yae Miko can generate a lot of Electro particles for Raiden Shogun.
2. The Sub-DPS: This character provides additional damage to the team, ideally with a different element than Raiden Shogun’s Electro.
- Xiangling: Her Guoba provides Pyro damage and applies Pyro to enemies, setting up reactions like Overloaded and Vaporize.
- Bennett: He can provide powerful healing and Attack buffs.
- Xingqiu: He applies Hydro damage to enemies, enabling reactions like Electro-Charged and Vaporize.
3. The Shield: While not strictly necessary, a shield character can offer additional protection for your team, especially against enemies that deal a lot of physical damage.
- Zhongli: His strong shields can protect the team from almost anything.
- Diona: She can provide both healing and shielding.
Team Synergy:
The key to a successful team is synergy. Make sure your team members complement each other and can trigger powerful reactions:
- Overloaded: Electro + Pyro, this reaction deals AoE damage.
- Electro-Charged: Electro + Hydro, this reaction deals damage over time and can slow down enemies.
- Superconduct: Electro + Cryo, this reaction reduces enemy Physical Resistance, making your team hit harder.
Example Team Compositions:
Here are a few team compositions that use the concepts above:
Team 1: Electro-Charged Focus
- Raiden Shogun (Electro DPS)
- Yae Miko (Electro Battery/Sub-DPS)
- Xingqiu (Hydro Sub-DPS)
- Bennett (Support/Healer)
Team 2: Overloaded/Vaporize Focus
- Raiden Shogun (Electro DPS)
- Fischl (Electro Battery)
- Xiangling (Pyro Sub-DPS)
- Zhongli (Shield)
Remember:
- Experiment with different team compositions and see what works best for you!
- Level up your characters and weapons.
- Use artifacts with good sub-stats (Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Energy Recharge) to maximize your team’s potential.
Building a strong Electro DPS team for Raiden Shogun can take time and resources, but with careful planning and experimentation, you’ll be able to unleash her full power and decimate your enemies.
