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.

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.
