Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward slash.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Transcendence: Baleful Omen (Elemental Skill): The Raiden Shogun unveils a shard of her Euthymia, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents, and granting nearby party members the Eye of Stormy Judgment.
Eye of Stormy Judgment
- When characters with this buff attack and deal DMG to opponents, the Eye will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG at the opponent’s position.
- Characters who gain the Eye of Stormy Judgment will have their Elemental Burst DMG increased based on the Energy Cost of the Elemental Burst during the Eye’s duration.
The Eye can initiate one coordinated attack every 0.9s per party.
Coordinated attacks generated by characters not controlled by you deal 20% of the normal DMG.
DURATION: 25s COOLDOWN: 10s
Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu (Elemental Burst): Gathering truths unnumbered and wishes uncounted, the Raiden Shogun unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi and deals AoE Electro DMG, using Musou Isshin in combat for a certain duration afterward. The DMG dealt by Musou no Hitotachi and Musou Isshin’s attacks will be increased based on the number of Chakra Desiderata’s Resolve stacks consumed when this skill is used.
Musou Isshin
While in this state, the Raiden Shogun will wield her tachi in battle, while her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be infused with Electro DMG, which cannot be overridden. When such attacks hit opponents, she will regenerate Energy for all nearby party members. Energy can be restored this way once every 1s, and this effect can be triggered 5 times throughout this skill’s duration.
While in this state, the Raiden Shogun’s resistance to interruption is increased, and she is immune to Electro-Charged reaction DMG.
While Musou Isshin is active, the Raiden Shogun’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will be considered Elemental Burst DMG.
The effects of Musou Isshin will be cleared when the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.
Chakra Desiderata
When nearby party members (excluding the Raiden Shogun herself) use their Elemental Bursts, the Raiden Shogun will build up Resolve stacks based on the Energy Cost of these Elemental Bursts.
The maximum number of Resolve stacks is 60.
The Resolve gained by Chakra Desiderata will be cleared 300s after the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.
COOLDOWN: 18s ENERGY COST: 90s

STRENGTHS / WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS:
- Raiden Shogun is an amazing elemental reaction and battery in Genshin Impact!
- Farming her artifact is relatively easy and can be used on many other characters which makes it efficient.
- Her elemental burst is relatively easy to build for huge nuke damage and can buff the burst of your characters.
WEAKNESSES
- She is very stat heavy.
- She’s dependent upon specific teams to get the most out of her.
- She’s not really designed to be a main DPS.
RANKING
Combat Rating (5/10): Her combat skills are kind of klunky and needs precise rotations and teams to really work. She isn’t ready out of the box like other characters.
Exploration (1/10): She really doesn’t offer anything except big burst damage in terms of exploration.
Spiral Abyss (9/10): Her 3rd skill is very strong but requires a lot of investment to be really useful in this content of the game.
Artifact Farming (8/10): She has a similiar role here as she does in Spiral Abyss.
Normal/Weekly Bosses (8/10): She’s good in 1v1 fights and dish out a lot of big damage to clear the bosses quickly.
