Many were skeptical because of Raiden’s Electro Element, but she proved to be powerful even then and becomes even more powerful after Dendro. When it comes to Raiden Shogun build in Genshin Impact, players generally would want to play with the traditional sub-DPS build, but she can also perform in a Hyperbloom team comp.

Raiden Shogun Build – Best Weapon

There are many suitable weapons for Raiden Shogun build in Genshin Impact, including the F2P The Catch.

1. Engulfing Lightning: One of the best weapons for any Polearm character that demands Energy Recharge (ER). Not only a large ER sub-stat, but it also grants ATK based on ER; a perfect pair with Emblem of Severed Fate.
2. Staff of Homa: A generalist Polearm that increases ATK based on HP. It also offers a large Crit DMG sub-stat.
3. Primordial Jade Winged-Spear: PJWS is often unsuitable for off-field sub-DPS, but since Raiden takes some field time, this Polearm is a great 5-star option for her.
4. Staff of the Scarlet Sands: If players add Elemental Mastery (EM) to Raiden’s stat, they can easily stack this weapon’s passive, converting 52% to 136% of Raiden’s EM into ATK.
5. Calamity Queller: Calamity Queller is best for off-field DPS in Genshin Impact, but it’s still great for Raiden Shogun as a stat-stick. Just note that players will have to focus on attributes other than ATK as this Polearm provides enough ATK.
6. The Catch: The best F2P weapon for Raiden Shogun build in Genshin Impact.
7. Skyward Spine: Increases ER, has high base ATK, and passive is somewhat useful for Raiden.
8. Vortex Vanquisher: Another ATK stat-stick for Raiden Shogun, but far less impractical to fully utilize.
9. Deathmatch: Battle Pass weapon with a large Crit Rate to make up for its low base ATK.
10. Wavebreaker’s Fin: Great Polearm that offers Burst DMG bonus based on the team’s Energy capacity. Considering Raiden herself needs 90 Energy, it’s undoubtedly decent with the Electro Archon.
11. Dragon’s Bane: Elemental Mastery Polearm for Hyperbloom team comp.
12. Moonpiercer: Has a lower EM compared to Dragon’s Bane, but has some supportive value.
13. Kitain Cross Spear: Also has a lower EM compared to Dragon’s Bane, but its passive helps Raiden regenerate Energy.

Raiden Shogun Build – Best Artifact

There are actually a lot of artifact options for Raiden Shogun build in Genshin Impact, but these two are her absolute best:

• 4-Emblem of Severed Fate: For traditional sub-DPS Raiden Shogun.
• 4-Flower of Paradise Lost: For Hyperbloom team comp.

Raiden has an impactful diminishing return, so players shouldn’t focus solely on one stat. Things like artifact sub-stat and team comp will affect her overall DPS, so for the best result, the typical trial-and-error method is the top option to determine which setup is best for the Electro Archon.

For example, instead of Energy Recharge/Electro DMG Bonus/Crit Rate or Crit DMG, these options may be better for her:

• ATK/Electro DMG Bonus/Crit Rate or Crit DMG
• Energy Recharge/ATK/Crit Rate or Crit DMG

Raiden Shogun Talent Priority In Genshin Impact

Raiden Shogun talent priority in Genshin Impact is easily Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill. Her Normal Attack provides nothing since she uses Burst multiplier on her Mussou Isshin state. On an Elemental Mastery/Hyperbloom team, Raiden Shogun should be upgraded to level 90 as Hyperbloom DMG scales with the trigger’s level.

Raiden Shogun Talent Level Recommendation

• Normal Attack: 1
• Elemental Skill: 10
• Elemental Burst: 10
