▼ Details about Razor below.

Razor Best Build

Razor Physical Main DPS Build

Weapon	Song Of Broken Pines
Substitute	1. Wolf's Gravestone 2. Serpent Spine 3. Prototype Archaic 4. Snow-Tombed Starsilver
Best Artifact	Pale Flame x4
Artifact Stats	Sands: ATK% Goblet: Physical DMG Bonus Circlet: Crit Rate/DMG
Priority Sub-Stats	1. Crit Rate/DMG 2. ATK% 3. Energy Recharge

This whole build revolves around increasing Razor's Physical DMG and making him a strong main DPS for the team. As any main DPS build, you do need to build a good amount of CR/CD for him.

Razor Hyperbloom Build

Weapon	Rainslasher
Substitute	1. Makhaira Aquamarine 2. Bloodtainted Greatsword
Best Artifact	Flower of Paradise Lost x4
Artifact Stats	Sands: Elemental Mastery Goblet: Elemental Mastery Circlet: Elemental Mastery
Priority Sub-Stats	1. Elemental Mastery 2. Energy Recharge

Another viable build for Razor is Hyperbloom. This whole build focuses on building the damage that Razor can deal when he procs Hyperbloom by increasing his Elemental Mastery!

Razor Best Weapon

Razor's Weapon Changes Depending On Team Comp

Razor can be used as a Physical DMG carry or an enabler for Hyperbloom using his Elemental Burst. Depending on what kind of team comp you are using, the recommended weapon changes. For ranking, comparison, and F2P options, check the list below.

Ranking & Comparison For Razor Physical DPS Weapon

	Weapon	Details
Best	Song Of Broken Pines	Physical DMG Bonus 20.7% (Lvl. 90) - Physical DMG sub-stat benefits Razor - Further increase in Normal ATK & ATK SPD with its weapon skill
2nd	Wolf's Gravestone	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Weapon Skill's conditional ATK buff will benefit the whole party
3rd	Serpent Spine	CRIT Rate 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Crit Rate sub-stat makes it easy to build CR/CD - Weapon skill increases DMG the longer the user stays on the field, good for a main DPS
4th (F2P)	Prototype Archaic	ATK 27.6% (Lvl. 90) - Free to Play option - Weapon Skill is good for main DPS
5th (F2P)	Snow-Tombed Starsilver	Physical DMG Bonus 34.5% (Lvl. 90) - Free to play option - Physical DMG sub-stat benefits Razor

Better To Build CR/CD Through Artifacts

If you have a Physical DMG Claymore, it's better to use it then use your Artifacts to build for CR/CD instead. This is due to the fact that you can only build Physical DMG through your Artifact skill, Goblet, and Weapon so might as well take advantage of it.

Weapon Ranking & Comparison For Hyperbloom Razor

	Weapon	Details
Best	Rainslasher	Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - Increases damage against those affect by Electro - EM sub-stat is ideal
2nd	Makhaira Aquamarine	Elemental Mastery 165 (Lvl. 90) - Provides additional buffs to the deal through weapon skill - EM sub-stat is ideal
3rd	Bloodtainted Greatsword	Elemental Mastery 187 (Lvl. 90) - Increase damage against enemies affect by Electro - EM sub-stat is ideal

Since this build focuses on increasing Razor's Hyperbloom damage rather than his raw damage, it's recommended you use a weapon with an EM sub-stat to build as much EM for him as possible.

Prioritize Building CR/CD

As a main DPS, you must build as much Crit Rate and Crit DMG for Razor. Energy recharge can also be viable, but it's on the low end of priorities. Do note that Elemental Mastery is unnecessary for a Physical DMG build so it's best not to have it.

Razor Hyperbloom Build Artifacts

Build As Much EM As You Can In Sub-Stats

The higher your Elemental Mastery, the higher the Hyperbloom damage when Razor procs it. With the Flower of Paradise Lost, you can build EM in its sub-stat, and get a direct increase in damage in Hyperbloom.

Notes About Team Comps For Razor

Razor is a pretty selfish main DPS and you will need to center your team comp around him. He only works with Superconduct teams since his Electro application isn't that good and his multipliers are not high when it comes to elemental DMG.

Razor Wish & Constellation Guide

Should You Get Or Wish For Razor?

Pull If You Need A Physical DPS

Razor is an on-field DPS whose strong suit is his Physical DMG. He's a good main DPS, but you will need to build comps around him to fully utilize his DMG.

★★・・・	C2: Suppression Increases CRIT Rate against opponents with less than 30% HP by 10%.
★★・・・	C3: Soul Companion Increases the Level of Lightning Fang by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★★★★★	C4: Bite When casting Claw and Thunder (Press), opponents hit will have their DEF decreased by 15% for 7s.

No Con Is Good, But C4 Is Recommended

Razor is a pretty solid character even without his Cons, but becomes stronger by having them. The effect of his C4 that shreds an enemy's DEF is great, which is why it's the Con that's the most recommended to have.

Man this comment so old

hades 5

Who ever suggest diona as good combo with archer should not be taken serious. They work horrible together and on surface only could sound as good idea. So person that suggested that have no clue

Anonymous 4

Why are we recommending gladiator as a “replacement” I know it increases the atk but 2pc pale flame 2pc bloodstained chivalry honestly works better-

Neito 3

You can also combine Pale Flame 2p set with Bloodstained Chivalry 2p to get permanent +50% Phys DMG increase (+25% from each one) which is almost equal to 4p Pale Flame.
