Raiden Shogun is the Electro Archon who rules over Inazuma in Genshin Impact. She is arguably one of the best units in the game, and in this guide, we’ll explain the best build for her.
How to Build Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact
Raiden Shogun is a five-star character who uses a polearm and can control the power of Electro. She can provide off-field Electro application using her Skill and deal a ton of damage with her Burst.
- Weapon: Engulfing Lightning
- Alternative: Staff of Homa, The Catch, Wavebreaker’s Fin, Kitain Cross Spear
- Artifact Set: Emblem of Severed Fate
- Main Stats:

- Goblet – Electro DMG Bonus or ATK%
- Circlet – CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG
- Secondary Stats: Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, ATK%, or Elemental Mastery
- Main Stats:

The best gear for Raiden Shogun is her signature weapon, Engulfing Lightning, with its Energy Recharge main stat. This polearm can give ATK buff up to 80 percent. It will also boost her Energy Recharge by 30 percent for 12 seconds after using her Elemental Burst.
The Emblem of Severed Fate set is the best Artifact for Raiden Shogun because it can increase her Energy Recharge. This equipment also buffs her Elemental Burst DMG up to 75 percent.
The best Constellation you should unlock is Raiden Shogun’s C2, Steelbreaker. With this Constellation, Raiden Shogun can ignore 60 percent of the target enemy’s DEF, increasing her damage against all opponents who aren’t immune to Electro.
You should prioritize upgrading Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst and Skill first. If you plan to use her as a main DPS, her Burst should come first, and vice-versa if you want to use her as a sub-DPS. Her Normal Attack should be your last priority since it doesn’t do as much damage as her other abilities.
