Energy Recharge Will Also Increase Electro DMG Bonus

Similar to Mona, Energy Recharge will also increase the Electro DMG Bonus of Raiden Shogun. This together with the power of Emblem Of Severed Fate, will make Raiden a great Burst DPS and Energy Support.

ATK% for Goblet Is Great When Using Energy Recharge Weapon & Sands

Since Energy Recharge will already increase Electro DMG Bonus, it is recommended to use ATK% goblet to increase the base ATK where Damage will be calculated.

Use Electro DMG Bonus If Weapon Gives Enough ATK

If you are using a weapon that boost attacks such as Engulfing Lightning and other five star weapons, it is recommended to use an Electro DMG Bonus Cup instead.

Recommended Rotation For Raiden Shogun

Uses Of Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill

Click to Enlarge

The Elemental Skill of Raiden Shogun is a powerful buff that increases the Elemental Burst DMG of the character you are using with it and it also triggers an AOE Electro Slash once you damage enemies that can trigger every 0.9 seconds.

Uses Of Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst

Raiden's Elemental Burst provides huge damage to enemies and Elemental Burst energy recovery for teammates. All of her hits will be considered Elemental Burst Damage making her abilities perfect for Emblem Of Severed Fate.

Strengths Of Raiden Shogun (Baal)

Effective Electro Off Field Support With 0 Downtime

The Elemental Skill of Raiden Shogun has a 25 second duration partnered with 9 second cooldown enabling it to be always active. It is also an AOE which makes it an amazing skill for spreading Electro status.

Powerful Elemental Burst That Recovers Energy Of Team

The first slash of Raiden Shogun's burst is a huge frontal slash that deals deadly damage to enemies. After that all hits will not only deal powerful damage but it will also be recovering the burst energy of the team.

Weaknesses Of Raiden Shogun (Baal)

Elemental Skill Does Not Trigger At Shields

To trigger the skill of Raiden Shogun, you need to deal damage to enemies. Because of this, hitting Elemental Shields will not trigger the slash making it ineffective at shielded enemies. To work around this, you can either switch characters or fight multiple enemies while being close to the target to indirectly hit it with the skill's AOE.

Requires Characters With High Elemental Burst Cost For Teams

To maximize the damage of the Elemental Burst of Raiden Shogun, it is important to have characters with high burst cost in the team. This heavily limits the team options of Raiden Shogun.

Raiden Shogun (Baal) Story Overview

The Current Electro Archon

Baal is the current Electro Archon, having power over electro, lightning, and storms. However, she did not take part in the Archon War, having only inherited the title years after it.

The Rules Of Inazuma

Unlike the other Archons Venti and Zhongli, Baal continues to rule over Inazuma rather than relinquishing her power. She sought for eternity for her nation and she will accomplish using her own means.

Actually A Puppet

The Raiden Shogun that the Traveler initially met is actually a puppet being controlled by the real Raiden Shogun, Ei. The pupper will act as her body, while she remains in her own real Euthymia to seek eternity.

Voiceline About Raiden Shogun

Voiceline About Raiden Shogun
Zhongli	Time tempers all volition. Yet she would give up everyone for her beliefs. Perhaps it is for this very reason that she has come to where she stands today... Should the chance come by me, I too would like to learn of the Eternity which she earnestly endeavors.
Venti	So, I hear you defeated the mighty Raiden Shogun? Ah,I recall the days when she was a kagemusha, seeking power to perfect her martial prowess. Hehe, she now no doubt employs a wide range of reasoning to get you to train with her. Oh but yes, come close and I shall let you in on her weakness ーdesserts!
Yoimiya	Fireworks are probably the furtherest thing from the "eternity" that Shogun pursues. She probably feels that their transient glory has no practical purpose in Inazuma *sigh* It's probably something that one who has "eternity" in their grasp will find hard to comprehend. It will precisely because we mortals are like fleeting shadows that we need to treasure such flickers of beauty.
Itto	During the Vision Hunt Decree, the Shogun had to send her top tengu in person to get my Vision off me. Heh, means she must have found me to be quite the pain in the neck. But, y'know, she's abolished the Vision Hunt Decree now, so no hard feelings, I guess. As long as she's learned her lesson, of course. 'Cause if she pulls something like that again, this old pain in the neck will be back with a vengeance.
Gorou	Grr, the Raiden Shogun... I could never bring myself to accept her past actions, no matter what her reasoning may have been. Though a peace treaty has been signed between Watatsumi Island and the Shogunate, I refuse to let my guard down. If conflict ever breaks out again, I will resume my place back on the front line.

Archon Quest & Story Event

Main Antagonist In Archon Quest Chapter 2

Raiden Shogun acts as the main antagonist of the Archon Quest Chapter 2 since the main conflict stems from her imposing the Vision Hunt Decree. It's also through the Chapter 2 quests do we learn of her history and motivations behind seeking Eternity.

Has Her Own Story Quest

Players can get to bond with Ei and know more about her by playing her own Story Quest. However, this can only be accessed once you've completed the Archon Quest Chapter 2 Act 3.
