How to Play Raiden Shogun

Last updated:

Overview

Raiden Shogun fills the field during her burst, converting Resolve stacks from teammates' bursts into Electro damage. Her skill provides off-field Electro and energy restoration on hit. She wants high ER to burst every rotation and Emblem for burst scaling.

How to Play

Build Resolve by using your team's bursts before Raiden's. Cast skill, then burst to enter Musou no Hitotachi. During burst, use charged attacks for extra hits. Outside burst, use skill and swap, her on-field time is limited to burst windows.

Optimal Rotation

Bennett Skill/Burst, Xiangling Skill/Burst, Xingqiu Skill/Burst, Raiden Skill, Raiden Burst, Raiden charged attacks until burst ends. Repeat once supports are off cooldown. Prioritize casting all bursts before Raiden's for max Resolve.

F2P Options

The Catch at R5 is nearly BiS and free from the fishing association. Emblem domain is farmable; aim for ER sands and Electro goblet. C0 Raiden carries most content, skip constellations and invest in Bennett/Xiangling instead.

Common Mistakes

Bursting before teammates wastes Resolve stacks. Running too little ER causes delayed rotations. Leveling Normal Attack is low priority, focus Burst and Skill first. Don't use Raiden as a permanent on-field DPS outside her burst window.
