Raiden Shogun (Genshin Impact) (2024)

Summary

The Raiden Shogun, true name Ei, is the Electro Archon and the exalted ruler of the island nation of Inazuma. Despite her status as the incarnation of thunder itself, transient and instantaneous, she is committed to the pursuit of Eternity, the preservation of Inazuma in a world where Celestia destroys all unwanted civilizations, due to her wish to never lose the things that are precious to her ever again.

Powers and Stats

Tier: At least 6-C, far higher with the Musou no Hitotachi, higher with Musou Isshin's Full Power

Name: Raiden Ei, Beelzebul (divine name), Raiden no Inazuma Tono

Origin: Genshin Impact

Gender: Female

Age: Over 2000 years (mentally); less than 500 years (physically; spent 500 additional years fighting in Makoto's realm of consciousness)

Classification: Deity, Kagemusha (formerly), Samurai, Electro Archon, Puppet (Shogun), God of Eternity

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: At least Island level+ (One of the strongest known gods in Teyvat so far, Ei is far stronger than her sister Makoto, who she won the Archon War with. Ei is said to be so strong that even Orobaxi, a mighty god that survived the end of the Archon War, was said to have never had any chance of matching her. The Raiden Shogun maintains a perpetual storm around Inazuma, which she can shape as she pleases, as shown when Ei accidentally causes it to start moving towards the nation. Furthermore, it is also implied that Ei has gotten stronger over the centuries, as Yae Miko's perfect simulation of her techniques did not include several ones used during her final boss fight. Should be comparable to Venti in his prime, who threw the largest mountain in Teyvat), far higher with the Musou no Hitotachi (This technique was strong enough to slay Orobaxi in a single strike, even having enough power left-over to destroy the massive chunk of Yashiori Island that was beneath the giant serpent god - creating the Musoujin Gorge - and after witnessing it reduce La Signora to nothingness, the Traveler believed that it would be impossible to defend against), higher with Musou Isshin's Full Power (Ei attained the ability to unleash Musou Isshin's Full Power after coming to fully understand her sister's ideals)

Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Faster than Traveler who can dodge lightning)

Lifting Strength: At least Class K (Should be far superior to Shenhe)

Striking Strength: At least Island level+, far higher with Musou no Hitotachi, higher with Musou Isshin's Full Power

Durability: At least Island level+ (Tanked attacks from the Statue-Empowered Traveler, who was capable of matching her blow-for-blow and eventually defeating her)

Stamina: Superhuman (The Shogun is stated to have zero need for physical rest. Despite fighting each other at maximum power for over 500 years in a pocket dimension, neither the Shogun nor Ei were visibly tired)

Range: Extended Melee Range normally; Several Meters while transformed; Planetary with magic (as Raiden is casually capable of manipulating all storms across the entire world)

Standard Equipment: Her sword "Musou Isshin", and her naginata "Engulfing Lightning"

Intelligence: At least Gifted normally, Genius combatant (By studying and perfecting the technology that allowed her to construct the puppet body known as the Raiden Shogun, Ei has made it possible for the Raiden Shogun to almost perfectly mimic her in every way. When it comes to sword and spear combat, all Inazuman martial arts can trace their roots back to Ei. Even today, her expertise is seen as unparalleled, and her power is held up as a metaphor for absolute dominance)

Weaknesses: None notable for the Raiden Shogun puppet. Due to no longer having a physical body, Ei can only manifest herself outside her Plane of Euthymia in the physical world by using the puppet's body as her own.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Musou no Hitotachi: A peerless sword art performed by Ei and the Raiden Shogun. This technique is applicable in several distinct ways, being usable:
  • As an instantaneous series of slashes that erupt into a violent torrent of energy, such as how she used it to execute Signora.
  • As an instantaneous series of slashes over a wide area that briefly stops time, such as how she used it against the Traveler.
  • As a single titanic slash of a blade composed of lightning, such as how she used it to slay Orobaxi.

• Miscellaneous Techniques: Ei and the Raiden Shogun display various techniques during their boss fight.
  • Blink: Ei transforms into lightning to instantaneously close the distance between herself and her opponent for an attack or to evade attacks at the last moment to waste her opponent's energy.
  • Bladestorm: Ei rapidly sheathes and unsheathes her blade, firing a spherical bladestorm at her opponent or manifesting it directly at their location.
  • Chakram Wave: Ei slashes the air and fires three large chakrams composed of electro energy, followed by a large electro wave.
  • Sword of Judgement: Ei unleashes a blindingly-fast combination of strikes before dashing forward with a slash, leaving a bladestorm in her path for those who would evade her main strike. She can also occasionally feint the dash and instead fire the bladestorm forward.
  • Samsara Wheel: Ei performs two high-speed wide-slashes before enhancing her speed with Electro and whirling around in a large circle to slash everything around her.
  • Domain of Sanction: Ei raises her sword, calling down slow-moving spheres of electricity along the edges of her arena, baiting her enemies closer by forcing them to evade the lightning fields that the spheres generate upon touching the ground; and once they enter her range, she instantly unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi over a wide area, stopping time and cutting through space, followed by the energy of the slashes bursting and dealing further damage.
  • Illusions: The Raiden Shogun separates herself into four illusions capable of launching lightning blades and requiring three hits to be destroyed.
  • Baleful Vajra's Destructive Waves: In her transformed state, she creates three totems at the center of the arena that periodically releases waves of Electro energy.
  • Puppet's Shadow: In her transformed state, she sends out a shadow that follows her enemy and transforms into a hand that smashes down at that enemy after a while.
  • The Final Calamity: In her transformed state, she blinks away and reduces her enemies' elemental energy to zero. Slashes horizontally with a giant arm armed with a sword while also stopping time.

• Transcendence - Baleful Omen: The Raiden Shogun unveils a shard of her Euthymia, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents and granting nearby allies Eye of Stormy Judgment, which damages nearby with lightning every fraction of a second as well as increasing the power of their Elemental Manipulation based on the energy put into it.

• Secret Art - Musou Shinsetsu: The Raiden Shogun unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi and enters a brief state where she is empowered by her Chakra Desiderata, which increases in power based on the amount of elemental energy previously used by herself and her allies.

• Wishes Unnumbered: When nearby allies use elemental bursts or regain elemental energy from an outside source, Ei's Chakra Desiderata gains additional power.

• Enlightened One: When receiving elemental energy from an outside source at a high enough rate, The Shogun gains additional efficiency with her energy and electro damage based on the rate she's earning it.

• Ominous Inscription: Increases the effectiveness of Ei's Chakra Desiderata.

• Steelbreaker: All attacks performed by Musou Isshin ignore 60% of the target's durability.

• Shinkage Bygones: Increases the effectiveness of Musou Shinsetsu.

• Pledge of Propriety: After using Musou no Hitotachi, nearby allies gain a 30% boost to their attack.

• Shogun's Descent: Increases the effectiveness of Transcendence: Baleful Omen.
