Razor Best Weapon

Razor's Weapon Changes Depending On Team Comp

Razor can be used as a Physical DMG carry or Electro DMG carry. 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	Beacon Of The Reed Sea	CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - ATK buff from Elemental Skill is good for Razor's DPS. - CRIT Rate substat is good for CR/CD management.
3rd	Wolf's Gravestone	ATK 49.6% (Lvl. 90) - Weapon Skill's conditional ATK buff will benefit the whole party
4th	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
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 Electro DPS Razor

	Weapon	Details
Best	Beacon Of The Reed Sea	CRIT Rate 33.1% (Lvl. 90) - ATK buff and CRIT Rate substat is great for increasing Razor's damage.
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	Talking Stick (BP)	CRIT Rate 18.4% (Lvl. 90) - CRIT Rate substat is good for CR/CD management. - Being affected by Pyro or Electro enables another buff for Razor. Razor is able to infuse himself with Electro and Bennett can be used for applying Pyro on Razor.
5th	Ultimate Overlord's Mega Magic Sword (F2P)	Energy Recharge 30.6% (Lvl. 90) - Energy Recharge substat is good for ER management. - ATK buff that can go from 12% to 24% based on quest progress with the Melusines.

This build focuses on increasing Razor's Electro damage. If using him as a Hyperbloom DPS, you will have to change his weapon and artifacts for EM stats.

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.

Marechaussee Hunter If Using Furina

Since Furina is the only character that can do teamwide HP drain, Marechaussee Hunter set is only usable with her.

	Main: CRIT Rate or DMG Sub: Energy Recharge / ATK%

For Non-Hyperbloom Teams, Build ATK

If using Razor as the DPS for a non-Hyperbloom team, building him on attack and CRIT stats is recommended. Energy Recharge is another important stat for this build because his Burst is the main source of his Electro attacks.

EM Is Needed For Hyperbloom Razor

Hyperbloom damage scales on the Elemental Mastery of the character who triggers it. It is recommended to go full EM on Razor's equipment if using him for Hyperbloom.

Uses Of Razor's Elemental Skill

Boost Energy Recharge To Gather Energy For Burst

Since you want to use Razor's Burst as much as possible, use his Elemental Skill to increase your Energy Recharge. This also allows you to gather particles to charge it up faster.

Can Be Used For Farming Ores

Holding Razor's Elemental Skill can break ores nearby which makes ore farming convenient.

Ores Interactive Map & Locations

Uses Of Razor's Elemental Burst

Deal Quick Physical & Electro DMG Simultaneously

Razor's Burst is a purely offensive ability where he deals both Electro & Physical damage with every normal attack while it's active. Use this to deal tons of damage against enemies in the field.

Should You Pull for Razor's Constellation Or Best Weapon?

Any Constellation Is Nice to Have

Constellation Priority
C4 > C6 > C1

C4 Is a Good Stopping Point

Razor's performance as an on-field DPS averages from usable to decent depending on his team composition, though his constellations do help to upgrade his baseline somewhat. C4 is a good stopping point, as it is likely his best constellation prior to C6, since it gives him a bit of Def Shred when he uses the tap-version of his Skill. If you would to like use the least amount of investment, getting C1 would be the easiest, though would result in a minimal improvement overall due to the small DMG bonus it gives.

The ideal scenario is getting Razor to C6, where extra bolts of lightning will periodically appear, which may see some use in specific teams like Aggravate-based or Physical-based ones. It also reduces his Energy requirements by granting Razor an Electro sigil when an enemy is hit with the lightning strike.

Combining all his minor damage boosts from C1 to C6 results in a marginal but nonetheless appreciated upgrade in terms of performance, especially if you compare it to Razor's C0 version, so if you are keen on investing into him directly without considering his weapon or ideal supports, then getting all his constellations will be the priority.

Razor will still be functional at C0 if you do not have the means to get his C6, so there is no reason to commit to his constellations unless you are both dedicated to the cause and have enough pull funds to do so.

Razor's Constellations & Effects

Rating	Constellation Effect
★★★・・	C1: Wolf's Instinct Picking up an Elemental Orb or Particle increases Razor's DMG by 10% for 8s.
★★・・・	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.
★・・・・	C5: The Purest Companionship Increases the Level of Claw and Thunder by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.
★★★★・	C6: Lupus Fulguris Every 10s, Razor's sword charged up, causing the next Normal Attack to release lightning that deals 100% of Razor's ATK as Electro DMG. When Razor is not using Lightning Fang, a lightning strike on an opponent will grant Razor an Electro Sigil for Claw And Thunder.

Razor's Constellation Name is Lupus Minor
