Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, also called the Raiden Shogun, is Inazuma’s actual leader. Raiden Shogun is a puppet with the best build that Ei, the authentic and current Electro Archon, could find to carry her team comp and the people in Genshin Impact into eternity. Ei used to be the avatar for the battles of the previous Electro Archon, who died during the cataclysm. So, to ensure that wouldn’t happen again, Ei placed her consciousness in her puppet, making the Raiden Shogun one of the best weapons in Teyvat.
Best Build for Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact
The Raiden Shogun kit focuses on generating large amounts of damage in any of her roles in the team. She is very effective as a DPS, but also for generating various elemental reactions with her elemental skill, which you can use with Raiden off-field. In addition, with her C2 alone, Raiden will have the advantage over many other playable characters.
Weapons
You can get the best weapons for Raiden Shogun in different ways, such as crafting them from the Genshin Impact‘s Battle Pass or pulling in the weapon’s banner. To use her build as Main DPS, 5-star polearms might be more helpful, but there are other options:
| Energy Recharge Main DPS | Hyperbloom Sub DPS |
|---|---|
| 1. Engulfing Lightning 2. Staff of Homa 3. Wavebreaker’s Fin 4. The Catch | 1. Dragon’s Bane 2. Kitain Cross Spear 3. Ballad of the Fjords 4. Moonpiercer |
Best Artifact Set
It is better to focus on maximizing Raiden Shogun’s Attack or Energy Recharge stats for the artifact set. Genshin Impact gave her decent damage, but it would be better if your Raiden could generate more particles for her burst. Also, spawning her elemental skill is very effective in combat.
| Energy Recharge Main DPS | Hyperbloom Sub DPS |
|---|---|
| Emblem of Severed Fate 4-Pieces: Increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way. | 1. Flower of Paradise Lost 4-Pieces: The equipping character’s Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field. 2. Gilded Dreams 4-Pieces: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members. ATK is increased by 14% for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and EM is increased by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field. |
Best Team Comp for Raiden Shogun
One of the best team comps for Raiden Shogun is the Hyperbloom one since Dendro characters arrived in Genshin Impact. You must apply Dendro and Hydro afterward to generate Cores to achieve the rotation. Then, with the Dendro Cores on the field, use Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Skill, Burst, or both if possible. For instance, you could start a fight with Nahida’s skill-burst combo and then round up your target(s) with Yelan’s Lifeline. Once the Cores are on the field, unleash the Shogun’s wrath upon your foes.
