Building a Team Around Raiden Shogun’s Burst: Energy Recharge and Electro Damage
Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, is a powerhouse when it comes to dealing Electro damage and buffing her teammates. To maximize her potential, you need to focus on two key areas:
- Energy Recharge: Ensuring Raiden Shogun has enough energy to consistently use her Burst, which is her main source of damage and support.
- Electro Damage: Boosting her Electro damage output to make her attacks hit harder and melt enemies with electro-charged reactions.
Here’s a breakdown of how to build a team around her, addressing both aspects:
Team Composition:
- Raiden Shogun: The core of the team. Focus on building her with high Energy Recharge and Electro Damage.
- Electro Sub-DPS: A character who can deal consistent Electro damage off-field and help trigger Electro reactions. Examples:
- Fischl: Her Oz provides constant Electro application.
- Kuki Shinobu: She applies Electro and heals the team with her Elemental Skill.
- Yae Miko: Her fox familiars deal significant Electro damage.
- Hydro Support: This character helps trigger Electro-Charged reactions, amplifying Raiden Shogun’s Electro damage.
- Yelan: Provides strong Hydro application and damage buffs.
- Xingqiu: His swords constantly apply Hydro and offer decent damage.
- Mona: Her Elemental Skill creates a Hydro field for consistent reactions.
- Flex Slot: This position can be filled with a character who provides additional support, such as:
- Bennett: Offers massive attack buffs.
- Zhongli: Provides strong shields and damage reduction.
- Diona: Shields, heals, and can trigger Cryo reactions for Superconduct (Electro damage bonus).
Optimizing Energy Recharge:
- Artifacts: Choose artifacts that boost Energy Recharge. The "Electro DMG Bonus" stat is also important but prioritize Energy Recharge as it directly impacts her Burst availability.
- Weapon: Use weapons that provide Energy Recharge. The "Engulfing Lightning" is a dedicated 5-star weapon for Raiden Shogun, offering both Energy Recharge and attack buffs. Alternatively, the 4-star "The Catch" is a good option for Energy Recharge and Crit Rate.
- Team Composition: Include characters who can generate Energy Particles for Raiden Shogun. Characters like Fischl, Yae Miko, and Kuki Shinobu are excellent choices.
- Sub-stats: Focus on Energy Recharge on both your artifact sub-stats and weapon. Aim for at least 180% Energy Recharge to guarantee her Burst is ready every rotation.
Boosting Electro Damage:
- Artifacts: The "Thundering Fury" 4-piece set is the most popular option for maximizing Electro damage. It significantly increases Electro damage and provides a 20% damage bonus to Electro-Charged reactions.
- Weapon: Weapons with higher base attack and Electro damage bonus will boost her damage. The "Engulfing Lightning" offers a powerful combination of attack and Energy Recharge.
- Team Composition: Include characters who can trigger Electro-Charged reactions (Hydro characters) to amplify her Electro damage.
- Sub-stats: Prioritize Electro Damage Bonus, Critical Rate, and Critical Damage for optimal damage output.
Raiden Shogun’s Role:
- Burst Support: Her Burst, "Musou no Hitotachi", deals substantial Electro damage and empowers her teammates’ attacks.
- Off-Field Electro Damage: Her Elemental Skill, "Transcendent One", continuously applies Electro, allowing for consistent Electro-Charged reactions.
- Energy Battery: When her Burst is activated, it generates Energy Particles for her teammates, helping them use their Bursts as well.
Remember to adjust your team and artifact choices based on your preferred playstyle and the specific characters you have. Experiment with different combinations and find what works best for you!
