Top Raiden builds for DPS and Hyperbloom in Genshin Impact

Using a polearm, Raiden Shogun is the Electro Archon of Genshin Impact, specializing in burst damage and energy recharge. Alternatively, you could simply use her Skill as a Hyperbloom trigger, ignoring 90% of her kit. Here's how to construct Raiden, whichever way you decide to play her!

Two unique playstyles that Raiden employs are Electro DPS and Hyperbloom. Raiden uses his time on the field as an Electro DPS, dealing Electro damage with Burst and Normal/Charged Attacks. Raiden utilizes her Skill as a Hyperbloom trigger in Dendro teams, allowing her to initiate Hyperblooms off-field. it playstyle has equal validity; the suggestions that follow indicate whose playstyle it is meant for.

The finest weapons available to Raiden

Engulfing LightningThe greatest weapon for Raiden as an Electro DPS is Engulfing Lightning, her 5-star trademark polearm. The ability to accumulate enormous quantities of Energy Recharge on Raiden without compromising damage is what gives Engulfing Lightning its worth. Engulfing Lightning gives Raiden's squad faster rates of energy regeneration, making it the most comfortable and potent choice.The Bane of DragonsThe greatest weapon for Hyperbloom Raiden is this 4-star gacha one. With the greatest Elemental Mastery of any Polearm in Genshin Impact, it is ideal for playstyles that prioritize quick reactions. Refinements are not even necessary.

The CatchThe Catch is a 4-star game, but in terms of damage, it's almost on par with 5-star games. It's obvious that Electro DPS Raiden was the inspiration for it. My standard choice for Raiden as an Electro DPS is The Catch. It can be acquired from the Inazuma fishing merchant, so if you haven't already, now is the perfect time to start fishing.Calamity Queller, Skyward Spine, Staff of the Scarlet Sands, Staff of Homa, and Primordial Jade Winged-SpearEven though Raiden, an Electro DPS, doesn't always maximize the utilization of passives, she can utilize any 5-star Polearm with offensive usefulness. If you already have one, and even then, only in the event that your Catch isn't accessible, do I propose these?Wavebreaker's Fin, Deathmatch, Lithic Spear, and Ballad of the FjordsThese 4-star alternatives are good for Electro DPS Raiden if your Catch is occupied. However, they may not be the most economical to purchase.Moonpiercer / Cross Spear KitainIf you don't have an extra Dragon's Bane, you may build these 4-star Polearms for Hyperbloom Raiden. Although they don't provide as much Elemental Mastery as Dragon's Bane, they are still much more practical and easily obtained.

The greatest artifacts in Raiden

sets of artifacts

Emblem of Severed Fate (4EoSF) , four piecesIn other words,Easily the greatest set for Electro DPS on Raiden. Because this set turns some Energy Recharge into Burst DMG%, it is ideal for Raiden's burst-focused playstyle. Regarding functionality, no other artifact lineup approaches a full 4EoSF set.Four pieces each of Flower of Paradise Lost (4FoPL) and Gilded Dreams (4GD)Raiden works well with these settings as a Hyperbloom trigger. Although 4FoPL theoretically does greater damage against Hyperblooms, it may not be the most effective to cultivate. 4GD grants Raiden a great deal of Elemental Mastery and originates from a more Resin-efficient domain. Unless you are creating an Anemo DPS character on the side, 4GD is the domain I advise farming if you have to pick.

Stats for artifacts

Depending on how much energy you want Raiden to provide for your squad, you will need to recharge your energy. I strongly advise aiming for at least 200%. However, 230–250% is far more pleasant, and the additional Energy enables units such as Xingqiu and Xiangling. to construct in a more aggressive manner.Use an Energy Recharge sands and create as much Energy Recharge as you can while using Engulfing Lightning.Which glass you use will depend on your group. An ATK goblet is ideal for stacking several DMG% buffs (such as Furina). An Electro DMG goblet is ideal if stacking a bunch of ATK boosts (like Bennett, Sara). Electro DMG goblets tend to perform better in most situations, however you may use any artifact that has superior substats.Electro DPS Raiden should concentrate on CRIT and ATK numbers in addition to Energy Recharge. In an Aggravate squad, having some Elemental Mastery might help while playing Raiden.

Hyperbloom Raiden

After using her skill as a Hyperbloom trigger, Raiden vanishes from the field for the remainder of your rotation. She doesn't need any Energy Recharge since she never uses her Burst.Elemental Mastery is the only necessary major stat, therefore it's an easy build. Substats are irrelevant. Energy Recharge, ATK, or CRIT are not required. Only Elemental Proficiency.
