Overview

  • Burst damage dealer
  • Team battery
  • Burst buffer

The Raiden Shogun turns energy into damage. Her Elemental Skill gives the party the Eye of Stormy Judgment, which adds coordinated Electro attacks and raises everyone's Elemental Burst damage based on burst cost. When teammates use their bursts and gain particles, she builds Resolve stacks. Her own burst spends those stacks for a powerful slash and a short Musou Isshin stance in which all of her attacks count as burst damage and restore energy to the whole party.

Her passive turns every point of Energy Recharge above 100% into extra Electro DMG Bonus and more energy restored during her burst, so she is built with plenty of Energy Recharge alongside crits. She can be the main damage dealer of her team or a battery and buffer for other burst-heavy characters.

Weapons

Best first. Every polearm on this list links to its page.

  1. Engulfing Lightning ★★★★★

    Her signature polearm. Energy Recharge on the main stat, ATK based on that Energy Recharge, and more Energy Recharge after each burst.

  2. Staff of Homa ★★★★★

    A large CRIT DMG stat and a steady ATK bonus. Pair it with Energy Recharge on artifacts.

  3. "The Catch" ★★★★

    A free fishing polearm. Burst damage and burst CRIT Rate are exactly what she wants, and the Energy Recharge stat helps her passive.

  4. Skyward Spine ★★★★★

    Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate and faster Normal Attacks during her burst.

  5. Favonius Lance ★★★★

    Best when she is in a support role. Extra particles help the whole team's energy.

Artifact sets

  1. Emblem of Severed Fate 4-piece

    The clear first choice. Energy Recharge from the 2-piece and burst damage based on Energy Recharge from the 4-piece match her kit perfectly.

  2. Emblem of Severed Fate + Thundering Fury 2-piece each

    A stopgap mix: Energy Recharge from one set and Electro DMG Bonus from the other.

Teams

  • Raiden National

    She restores energy to three burst-hungry teammates and adds Electro reactions. A strong and affordable team built mostly from 4-stars.

  • Raiden hypercarry

    Everyone buffs her. Sara and Bennett add ATK, Kazuha adds Electro DMG Bonus and groups enemies, and she spends the whole burst on the field.

  • Raiden Hyperbloom

    Nahida and Xingqiu make Dendro Cores, and Raiden's burst turns them into Hyperbloom alongside Kuki Shinobu, who also heals.

Tips

  • Cast her Elemental Skill first in every rotation. It boosts the burst damage of every teammate who bursts after it.
  • Use the other characters' bursts before hers so she has more Resolve to spend.
  • Her energy refund during Musou Isshin only works on hits, so attack steadily instead of dodging the whole time.
  • Swapping out ends Musou Isshin early, so stay on the field until it finishes.

Other character guides recommend Raiden Shogun as a teammate in these teams.
