Emblem of Severed Fate is the best artifact for Raiden Shogun as a Main DPS. Her support capabilities are also amplified by stacking Energy Recharge with this build, which should be around 200% to 250%, which in turn also gives her Electro DMG Bonus.

If you have Engulfing Lighting, it is strictly better to use an Energy Recharge mainstat for the Sands piece and an Electro Goblet. If you don't have the weapon, you have the option of using a combination of ER Sands and an ATK% Goblet or ATK% Sands and an Electro Goblet.

Hyperbloom is Raiden Shogun's best build as a Sub DPS with Flower of Paradise Lost or Gilded Dreams artifacts to amplify the reaction's damage. No other stat other than Elemental Mastery is important, but you can still stack Energy Recharge for the party.

Theoretically speaking, Flower of Paradise Lost would give you more damage, but Gilded Dreams is generally better to farm if you need Deepwood Memories for your Dendro Support.

Raiden's core utility as a traditional Electro Main DPS relies on using her Elemental Burst, so leveling it up first is very important. Amping her Elemental Skill is also important as her burst damage buffs scales from it.

In a Hyperbloom build, her own level and Elemental Mastery is more important for her damage, but you can level up her Elemental Skill first should you wish to give a bit of buff for your party members.

We highly suggest sticking with Emblem of Severed Fate as it is Raiden Shogun's all around best artifact. It also increases both her Energy Recharge and Elemental Burst DMG to act as a Main DPS and Support at the same time.

Best Artifacts for Hyperbloom

Artifact Artifact Bonuses
1st Genshin - Flower of Paradise Lost Image Flower of Paradise Lost 2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80
4-PC: The equipping character's Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.
2nd Genshin - Gilded Dreams Image Gilded Dreams 2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80
4-PC: Within 8s of triggering an Elemental Reaction, the character equipping this will obtain buffs based on the Elemental Type of the other party members.

Each of the buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be triggered once every 8s and even when not on the field.
3rd Genshin - Gilded Dreams Image Gilded Dreams 2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80
Genshin - Wanderer Wanderer's Troupe 2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80

As mentioned above, it is more resin efficient to farm for Gilded Dreams' domain than the Flower of Paradise Lost, but if you can spare the time for it, then definitely go for the Flower of Paradise Lost artifact instead for more damage.

Raiden Shogun Best Teams

Raiden International Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Xiangling Xiangling Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu Genshin - Bennett Bennett

The premier F2P team for Raiden Shogun that can rival other high-end team comps, especially with her C2. This team focuses on dealing constant Burst type damage thanks to Raiden's ability to nearly fully recharging the team's high burst cost.

Raiden Hypercarry Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support Support
Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Kazuha Kazuha Genshin - Sara Sara Genshin - Bennett Bennett

This team focuses on increasing Raiden Shogun's personal damage to the max, using Kazuha's elemental damage bonus, and Sara and Bennett's ATK bonus buffs before landing Raiden's burst damage.

You will need heavy investment for all these characters, especially Sara's C6 and Raiden's C2 to make it worthwhile.

Raiden Overloaded Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support Support
Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Genshin - Bennett Bennett Genshin - Sara Sara
Genshin - Yoimiya Yoimiya Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Chevreuse Chevreuse Genshin - Sara Sara

For building teams around Raiden with Chevreuse, she works as a Hypercarry greatly buffed by the latter's new mechanics plus buffer supports like Bennett and Sara. Chevreuse essentially replaces Kazuha in her normal Hypercarry team.

If you're looking to run Raiden as a Sub-DPS, a ranged character like Yoimiya will work as her Main DPS as she can target enemies even after they have been knockbacked by the Overloaded effect.

Raiden Hyperbloom Team

Genshin - Raiden Raiden Genshin - Alhaitham Alhaitham Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu

Raiden can be slotted into any team comp that needs an Electro element, a Sub-DPS burst unit, and a support unit that can help recharge the Elemental Burst of the team. One sample is the Eula-Raiden team comp where Raiden triggers superconduct and recharges Eula and Shenhe's Elemental Burst.

Character Thoughts About The Raiden Shogun

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Ayaka ImageAyaka Guesswork: The Almighty Shogun? It would be improper of me to comment, given that I am one of her subjects. All I will say is that... I think that Her Excellency must get lonely on the road to eternity.
Standpoint: To witness the Musou no Hitotachi and live to tell the tale is quite a remarkable feat. Even though I recognize her as our true deity with the power to change Inazuma's fate at will, if there is conflict between the two of you, then... I shall choose to side with you.
Genshin Impact - Ayato ImageAyato About Raiden Shogun
The cost of pursuing eternity has been great for the Almighty Shogun... and for all of Inazuma. These wounds will take time to heal, and as someone with a mediating role to play in the political process, I will be sure to fulfill that which is required of me.
Genshin Impact - Gorou ImageGorou 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 refues to let my guard down. If conflict ever breaks out again, I will resume my place back on the front line.
Genshin Impact - Itto ImageItto 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.
Genshin Impact - Kazuha ImageKazuha About Raiden Shogun
I've asked myself this question many times since leaving Inazuma. Do I simply resent the Raiden Shogun because of what happened in that duel? Because of the lethal-stroke she dealt my dear friend? I've thought about this a good long time, and I believe the answer is no. My friend died an honorable death in that duel, and the Shogun was not unjustified in her conduct. My dissatisfaction with her has its roots in the Vision Hunt Decree. No-one has the right to rob another of their hopes and dreams — not even a god.
Genshin Impact - Kirara ImageKirara Parcels sent to Tenshukaku are all packaged intricately with multiple layers of wrapping. Maybe that's what they call a package fit for the Almighty. Shogun. Some of them smell really good... I wonder what's inside.
Genshin Impact - Kokomi ImageKokomi About Raiden Shogun
Now that the Vision Hunt Decree is over, Watatsumi Island has since again returned to normal life. It has never been my intent to scrutinize the rights and wrongs of the Shogun's actions, even to this day. What I do care about is the future of our island. It is my hope that the Shogun will fulfill her promise and that we can live with the Shogunate in peace. However, if there comes a day when she once again casts aside the aspirations of the people, I can assure you that we won't sit by and watch.
Genshin Impact - Neuvillette ImageNeuvillette About Electro Archon
As a survivor of the dragon race who has regained my full dragonhood, I must fulfill my oaths and obligations even if it means returning all the water in the oceans back to the heavens. In taking the Authority of Electro, the Narukami placed herself on the list of the usurpers, she will... Oh, you say she has isolated herself in the Plane of Euthymia, and now rarely appears in public? Then I shall pay her a visit in another few centuries.
Genshin Impact - Sara ImageSara Trust: As I'm sure you've heard many times before, the Almighty Shogun seeks Eternity — an existence beyond the dominion of thought and longing. "Abandon mortal ties, strive for an unchanging Eternity"... The Almighty Shogun's manner is always resolute, and I do not always fully grasp the meaning of her words. But this is her decision, and I trust her.
Service: So, the Vision Hunt Decree was repealed... Yes, it seems that you were right. ...Ahem, but this is not to say that the Almight Shogun made a mistake. She has simply chosen eternity by a different route. I do not know whether the Shogun has finally found inner peace after protecting Inazuma over these millennia. All I know is that however perilous the road ahead may become, I will follow her as I have always done.
Genshin Impact - Sayu ImageSayu About Raiden Shogun
Her Excellency? Definitely not someone I'd ever get to meet. If you've got questions, maybe Miss Ayaka's the person to ask.
Genshin Impact - Shinobu ImageShinobu After the Sakoku Decree was lifted, the Raiden Shogun issued many decrees aimed at supporting the development of various industries. All those certificates I received during the Sakoku Decree are coming in real handy now, and the gang is finally out of the red... Fate really does have its ways. Who would've thought after all that, I'd still have her to thank?
Genshin Impact - Thoma ImageThoma Comparison: In my homeland of Mondstadt, almost everyone has great reverence for the Anemo Archon, Barbatos. But people in Inazuma feel a little differently toward the Shogun. How can I put this... They fell love, respect, gratitude... but also fear.
The Unknown: Honestly, I don't harbor any resentment toward the Shogun. Yes, she almost took my Vision away, but ultimately that's just because of her unique perspective. Everyone has their own perspective, there's nothing strange about that. The only thing I don't understand is her goal in doing so. What does she imagine eternity really look like for Inazuma? And why is sacrificing her people's aspirations so necessary to achieve it? I can neither understand nor agree with her approach.
Genshin Impact - Venti ImageVenti About Baal
So, I hear you defeated the mighty Raiden Shogun? Ah, I recall the days when she was a kagemusha, seeking 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 – desserts!
Genshin Impact - Wanderer ImageWanderer About Raiden Shogun
She completely neglected her own creation, and to add insult to injury, she said it was because she "couldn't bring herself to intervene" in my fate...
Genshin Impact - Yae Miko ImageYae Miko Locking herself away in the Plane of Euthymia when she clearly wants to be out — it's just willful self-torture, really... On the other hand, it's also rather stubborn-but-cute, don't you think?
Genshin Impact - Yoimiya ImageYoimiya Fireworks are probably the furthest thing from the "eternity" that the Shogun pursues. She probably feels that their transient glory has no practical purpose in Inazuma. It's probably something that one who has "eternity" in their grasp will find hard to comprehend. It is precisely because we mortals are like fleeting shadows that we need to treasure such flickers of beauty.
Genshin Impact - Zhongli ImageZhongli About Baal
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 for which she so earnestly endeavors.

The Raiden Shogun's Thoughts About Others

Character In-Game Thoughts
Genshin Impact - Ayaka ImageAyaka About Ayaka
Kamisato... One of the most distinguished clans in all of Inazuma. Eh? That's exactly what the Shogun said? Well, A—Ayaka's also well-versed in the art of the sword.
Genshin Impact - Ayato ImageAyato About Ayato
Kamisato... One of the most distinguished clans in all of Inazuma. Despite Ayato's trickery in regard of the Tri-Commission's affairs, he is nevertheless a loyal subject. His past misdeeds shall be excused.
Genshin Impact - Itto ImageItto About Itto
Who?
Genshin Impact - Nahida ImageNahida About Buer
I admire her humility; it is a sign of true wisdom. With the power she holds, Buer is capable of doing many things beyond our wildest imaginations... and yet, she uses her power only to right wrongs and to protect. She is a truly gentle god.
Genshin Impact - Thoma ImageThoma About Thoma
I can’t deny that I am somewhat culpable in the events that lead to him being almost stripped of his vision, but I rather think the Shogun should be the one to extend a formal apology to him… Okay, fine. I’ll give it some thought...
Genshin Impact - Wanderer ImageWanderer About Kunikuzushi
He came about as a byproduct of creating the Shogun. Perhaps it's because I feel like I owe him something, but I do not wish to assert control over him.

She's not good with the sub-dps hyper bloom team, as she can't trigger seeds when no enemies are around. Plus, she's not better than Kuki Shinobu in comparison to the hyper bloom team.

Hope everyone's been keeping their illusions shattered since 3.0 began. Don't forget to stay hydrated, buy your Shogun some Dango Milk. Maybe take in a nice light novel. Enjoy Natlan, friends, for Eternity shall always be here in the end
