Alright, you’ve reached level 90 with your Raiden Shogun, congratulations! Now comes the real fun: farming the best artifacts to make her truly shine.
Here’s a breakdown of the process, keeping it simple and friendly:
1. The Big Picture: What Makes Raiden Shogun Powerful?
Raiden Shogun excels at two things: Energy Recharge and Electro Damage. This means we want artifacts that boost these two stats, plus some extra goodies like Critical Rate/Damage for those big hits.
2. Choosing the Right Sets:
- Emblem of Severed Fate: This is the King of Raiden Shogun artifact sets. It gives you huge Energy Recharge bonuses, plus bonus Electro Damage based on how much Energy Recharge you have. This is the core of her power.
- Thundering Fury: This set is good if you need a little extra Electro Damage boost, but it’s not as important as Emblem.
- Other Options: For flexibility, consider some Critical Rate/Damage artifacts from sets like Gladiator’s Finale or Shimenawa’s Reminiscence.
3. The Artifact Grind: Where to Start?
- The "Easy" Route: The Momiji-Dyed Court domain is a great place to start. It drops both Emblem and Thundering Fury.
- The "More Effort" Route: The Pale Flame and Shimenawa’s Reminiscence domains drop pieces from other sets, but can be valuable for the extra Critical Rate/Damage.
4. Don’t Forget the Substats!
The main stats are important, but the substats are where you really make a difference. Aim for:
- Energy Recharge: You’ll need a lot of this!
- Electro Damage Bonus: Even better than Energy Recharge in most cases.
- Critical Rate/Damage: For more powerful attacks.
- Attack%: While not as good as the others, Attack% is still helpful.
5. The Grind is Real:
Finding the perfect artifacts takes time and patience. Here are some tips:
- Don’t Be Afraid to "Upgrade" Early: You can upgrade artifacts to level 4 for a small cost to see if their substats are good. If not, you can scrap them for materials.
- Don’t Panic: You might not find the perfect artifact right away. Keep farming and refining!
- Consider Your Team: If your team has a lot of Electro damage, you might want to prioritize Energy Recharge over Electro Damage Bonus.
- Have Fun: Farming can be tedious, so try to enjoy the process and not get too stressed out.
6. Getting Better: It’s a Long Game!
Farming artifacts is a constant journey. As you get better gear, you’ll want to refine it further. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try different combinations to see what works best for you.
Remember: Building a powerful Raiden Shogun is a marathon, not a sprint. With patience, dedication, and a little bit of luck, you’ll have her dealing massive damage in no time! Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
