Shogun Raiden Lor

Raiden Hey current Shogun Raiden, is Inazuma's Electro Archon in Genshin Impact. She is the youngest of the Seven and is one of the second generation of Archons.

Note: Raiden first appeared on September 1 2021, as part of the first Patch 2.1 Event Banner, Lunar Solace for the Mortal World. It was confirmed that the first banner 2.1 versions Raiden and Kujo Sara are depicted, and the second - Kokomi .

Shogun Raiden is a firm believer in what she believes is eternity - a place where everything stays the same, no matter what actually happens. She is noble in her conduct and revered by the people of Inazuma.

Shogun Raiden exists in two forms: Ei's Raiden, her true identity, and Shogun, a doll created by Ei to act as Inazuma's ruler in her stead while she meditates in the Eutumia World. This doll follows a set of pre-programmed directives that are extremely difficult to change, even for Eya herself. The shogun is cold and stern in nature, sometimes even callous; she is emotionally limited, has no likes or dislikes, and needs no rest. The Shogun sees himself as Eya's assistant and does exactly what she wants, no more and no less; she cannot act without her guidance, and if the doll's functions are disabled, the Shogun becomes unable to do anything. Due to Eya's limited feature set and apathy for anything beyond the eternity she seeks, the Shogun can easily be manipulated by outside forces, such as when the Kujo Clan and Fatui used her to start and perpetuate the Decree of the Hunt for the Eyes of God.

While still relatively stoic compared to most people, Ei is noticeably more emotional and friendly than the Shogun. Unlike her, Eya has things she likes and dislikes, such as sweets. Due to her devotion to eternity, Ei is wary of change, although she is more curious than contemptuous when it comes to new things, such as the Traveler's appearance and the ways of the modern world. Due to having lost many of her loved ones over the centuries, Ei is driven by fear of further loss, wanting to keep Inazuma for all eternity. To this end, she sealed herself in the Euthymia World in an attempt to protect herself from the effects of erosion while creating the Shogun in such a way that her body would not be capable of decay. While in Eutumia, Ei was apathetic towards anything that did not affect her longing for eternity, and had a low opinion of human ambition due to desires that lead to loss and suffering, making them incompatible with eternity. However, even in the Euthymia World, she couldn't truly escape being alone, as she was happy to see her friend again. Yae Miko.

Eya has a huge weakness for sweets, as she believes that they cannot be a serious obstacle to her quest for Eternity; it is also mentioned by Yae Miko and Venti, with the latter even suggesting the Traveler bring her something sweet to take advantage of this weakness.

Best build for all Raiden roles

Weapon	Shining harvest
Substitute	1. Staff of Homa 2. Wave cutting fin 3. Catch
Best Artifact	Fate Shattered Emblem
Artifact Statistics	Sands: Energy Recharge or ATK% Cup: ATK% or Electro DMG Bonus  Crown: Speed ​​CRIT or CRIT DMG
Priority substatistic	1.CRIT DMG 2. Chance of crit. hits % 3. ATC % 4. Restore energy %

Shogun Raiden is very flexible in being a main DPS, Sub DPS and support. Luckily, her best build is shared across all roles, so you'll only need to tweak your play style!

It's important to note that your base stats for the sands and goblet will be highly dependent on the bonus stats of your weapon. If you have an energy recharge weapon, it would be better to use ATK% main stats on your sands. If you don't have an ambulance weapon, you can use energy reload.

Shining harvest is an exception to this rule, as you gain a bonus ATK% based on your recharge energy. However, you can still use other ER weapons with the ER Mainstat artifact if your goal is simply to help the team replenish their elemental blast.

Talent Priority Shogun Raiden

	For all roles
First	elemental explosion
Second	Elemental Skill
The third	Normal attack

Raiden's toolkit relies on her Elemental Burst, so leveling it in the first place is very important. Her elemental mastery is only a secondary tool for all of her roles, so it should be maxed out second. Lastly, her Normal Attacks won't affect her Elemental Blast, so leveling her attack is the last thing to pay attention to (if at all).

Best Artifacts for Shogun Raiden (Which Artifacts are Best for Shogun Raiden?)

It is important to note here that Fate Shattered Emblem would be the absolute best set for Raiden. Alternatives should only be used if you don't have a top artifact.

Best

Fate Shattered Emblem

• Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. • Increases elemental explosion damage by an amount equal to 25% of the energy recovery value. The effect can be increased to a maximum of 75%.

Alternative? There is!

Good Shogun Raiden artifacts increase her electro damage and your party's ability and quickly link skills and explosions.  Thundering Fury - A good choice for Raiden DPS, but the XNUMX-piece effect works with support as well. Even if your goal is to turn Ei into a battery, you can also use the damage her elemental Explosion allows you to deal.

Gambler better for DPS, as you can keep linking her skills with the effect of the four set pieces.

ARTIFACT SET	TWO-COMPONENT EFFECT	FOUR-PARTS EFFECT
Exile	Energy Recharge +20%	Using an elemental explosion restores 2 energy for all party members (except the owner) every 2 seconds for 6 seconds.
Gambler	Energy Recharge +20%	Defeating an opponent has a 100% chance to remove Elemental Skill CD. Can only trigger once every 15 seconds.
Thundering Fury	Electro Damage +15%	Increases damage from Overload, Electrical Charge, and Superconductivity by 40%. Activating such effects reduces the cooldown of the elemental skill by 1 second. Can only trigger once every 0,8s.

What are the skills and talents of Shogun Raiden?

The Shogun Raiden is both a strong support unit and an offensive DPS. Her Elemental Skill deals AoE Electro damage and persists after being turned off, while her Burst gains power from other used Explosions and recharges your party members so they can use the Burst again faster.

Passive Skill 1: Countless dreams	When party members gain Elemental Orbs or Motes, Baal gains 2 stacks of Lust Chakra.
Passive Skill 2: Enlightened	Each 1% over 100% Power Recharge grants 0,6% Muso Isshin Cooldown and 0,4% Shock Damage bonus.

How to play Shogun Raiden?

Elemental skill, explosion and talents Shogun Raiden

First of all, a breakdown of Raiden's Elemental Skill and Explosion is needed to understand what it can do and how:

Elemental Mastery - Transcendence: Ominous Omen

Shogun Raiden opens his Realm and inflicts Electro damage to nearby enemies, after which he gives everything to the surrounding members of the squad Eye of Thunderous Punishment.

Eye of Storm Punishment

• When characters with this buff attack and damage enemies, the Eye unleashes a coordinated attack, dealing AoE electrical damage to enemy positions.
• Characters who receive the Eye of Lightning Punishment will have their Elemental Blast Damage increased based on the Elemental Blast Energy Cost for the duration of the eye.
• The eye can initiate one coordinated attack every 0,9 seconds for each side.
• Coordinated attacks generated by characters not controlled by you deal 20 percent normal damage.

This Elemental Skill is both a powerful attack, a great way to trigger Elemental Reactions, and a support tool for the rest of your party, making it a very complete technique for you to play. This becomes more important when you notice the synergy between Raiden's Elemental Skill and the explosion, as the Elemental Explosion damage buff on your teammates will in turn help you deal better damage efficiently when you start building after releasing the Muso Shinsetsu state. Which brings us to the next ability.

Strengths of Shogun Raiden

1. Impressive Energy Recovery Boost + Elemental Explosion Damage Boost for the whole party.
2. Very dynamic gameplay.
3. Can be both a support character and a main damage dealer.
4. Provides synergy and fast rotation of all characters in the team.

Weaknesses of Shogun Raiden

1. Blade attacks in Baal's ult do not work with Bay Dou's ult (at the time of writing), which would potentially give incredible damage.
2. Not a very high increase in skill damage from the level of pumping.
3. Requires a lot of resources for pumping and maximum efficiency.
