Raiden Shogun provides top-tier utilities in Genshin Impact, but these things should be considered before wishing for her.
Raiden Shogun is currently one of the most powerful characters in Genshin Impact. Considering how popular she is among the fanbase, it’s no surprise that people would try to pull for her on her rerun in version 2.5. Not only are those who haven’t gotten her trying to do so, but Raiden Shogun also offers great things with her Constellations, which makes it highly sensible for people to try to get her copies.
However, Raiden Shogun too has her weaknesses and things Genshin Impact players should know about before pulling for her. Here are some examples.
Is It Worth Pulling For Raiden Shogun In Genshin Impact?
Raiden Shogun is without a doubt a great addition to most team compositions in Genshin Impact. To know if Raiden is worth it, there are a few notes to consider.
Raiden Shogun Is Complicated To Build
It's not easy to build Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact. She's one of the few characters that easily fall into diminishing returns. That happens because of how easily she can earn her stats, especially if she's wielding Engulfing Lightning.
Her fourth ascension's passive increases her Electro Damage by 0.4% for every point above 100% of her Energy Recharge, which can reach incredible numbers like 60% more Electro Damage. In addition, if she's wielding Engulfing Lightning, Raiden Shogun will also gain extra ATK% based on her Energy Recharge.
If players wish to maximize the Electro Archon’s potential, they need to adjust her artifacts based on her Polearm. Generally, this is the rule of thumbs for Raiden Shogun:
- Energy Recharge weapon: ATK%/ATK%/Critical Rate or Damage
- Other weapons: Energy Recharge%/Electro%/Critical Rate or Damage

Raiden Shogun Is Amazing In Spiral Abyss
The amount of utilities Raiden Shogun brings easily makes her one of the most favored units for Genshin Impact’s Spiral Abyss. In her seven seconds of field time, the Electro Archon can deal massive damage while restoring a massive amount of Energy to the entire party.
Not only that, but she also boosts the team’s Elemental Burst damage and offers easy access to Electro applications.
Raiden Shogun Has Great Constellations
Raiden Shogun’s Constellations are easily one of the best Constellations in Genshin Impact. Some of them are overpowered, like:
- C1: Raiden Shogun can max her Resolve Stack faster, especially if she has an Electro character in her team.
- C2: Transforms Raiden from a good to an excellent Sub DPS in Genshin Impact. This Constellation allows Raiden to ignore 60% of enemies' defense when she uses her Burst.
- C6: Raiden Shogun not only regains her team Elemental Burst faster now, but she also reduces their Cooldown by up to 5 seconds, which can crucially improve some characters' performance.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
