Ultimate Raiden Shogun Guide (Updated for 5.0 - Jello Impact)

Raiden Shogun can play two main roles in your team:

Off-Field Support: She boosts the burst damage of your main character and frequently applies Electro, making her great for Hyper Bloom teams. Her Elemental Skill lasts 25 seconds, covers a large area, and activates whenever your active character deals damage, whether from normal or charged attacks. ** On-Field DPS:** When used as an on-field damage dealer, Raiden Shogun can deal good damage with her high burst multipliers. She has great interruption resistance right from Constellation 0 and can also provide energy refund to the team, letting you focus on maximizing damage.

How to Maximize Raiden Shogun’s Damage Burst Dependency Raiden’s damage depends on the burst costs of your other characters and when they use their bursts. To get the most out of her:

• Make sure to use all your team members' bursts every rotation to fuel Raiden’s burst damage.
• Raiden also restores her own energy, and converts the ER stat into damage bonus. If you have her signature weapon, Engulfing Lightning, energy recharge is even more important. Without her weapon, still focus on a balanced amount of energy recharge. Aim for between 205 and 230 without her weapon, team dependant, and as much as you want when you do have Engulfing Lightning.

##For DPS Builds: SET: Four-piece Emblem of Severed Fates.

Sands: Use Attack Percentage if you are using The Catch, Skyward Spine, Fav Lance Use Energy Recharge if you have Engulfing Lightning, or another 5 Star Weapon and you need more energy.

Goblet: Electro Damage or Attack

Circlet: Crit Rate or Crit Damage

Desirable Sub-Stats: Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Attack, Energy Recharge

Aim for at least 70%+ or as close as you can get Crit Damage: Aim for 140%+ or as much as you can get

Leveling and Talents Leveling: Raise Raiden to level 90 if you use her as a DPS. Crown her burst ability for maximum damage, and you can leave her skill at level 9 since its buff caps out there.

##For EM Raiden Flower of Paradise Lost or Gilded Dreams, or a two-piece combination if using Elemental Mastery (EM). Use EM for Sands, Goblet, and Circlet
