What Kind Of Character Is Raiden Shogun?

Raiden Shogun

Raiden Shogun Is An Energy Recharge Support & DPS Character

Raiden Shogun is both a support and a DPS character. Her Elemental Burst allows her to be an on-field Electro DPS while also buffing the Elemental Burst of other characters and restoring their energy.

Raiden Shogun Also Has A Great Off-Field Electro Application

- Elemental Skill does not activate without damage.
↳ Bad for shredding Elemental Shields against Abyss Lectors.
- Difficult to build since she juggles several stats at once.

@A local barrel
Go for main/sub dps to fully take advantage of her kit.
I run her with Tighnari and Ayato but honestly the Quicken reaction is good enough there. For more dmg output after Raiden burst theres always Ayato for me.

Is it possible to hybridize the hyperbloom AND subdps build? or is that a point of no return? help?
