Genshin Impact Raiden Shogun Build Guide

Raiden Shogun is an amazing sub-DPS in Genshin Impact who can be useful in team compositions that rely on Electro-based elemental reactions. Her Elemental Skill allows her to deal off-field Electro damage every time the active character uses their Normal Attacks. As such, pairing her up with any other damage dealer will enable you to comfortably trigger reactions.

Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst is also remarkable and allows her to be used as a damage dealer. Upon casting, it deals significant AoE Electro DMG to all enemies in front of her. Following that, she enters a special state where she wields the Musou Isshin Sword for a certain period. She can use it to deal considerable damage and recover Burst energy.
