Artifact Sub Stats | CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, ATK%, Energy Recharge, Elemental Mastery |
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.

Artifact Sub Stats | Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge |
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.
Main DPS/Support | Sub-DPS | |
---|---|---|
1st | Elemental Burst | Elemental Skill |
2nd | Elemental Skill | Elemental Burst |
3rd | Normal Attack |
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.
Artifact | Artifact Bonuses | |

2-PC: Elemental Mastery +80 4-PC: The equipping character's Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%.

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. |

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. ATK is increased by 14% for each member whose Elemental Type is the same as the equipping character, and EM is increased by 50 for every member with a different Elemental Type. 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. |

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.

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 Shogun uses a polearm as her weapon of choice. Somewhat similar to Tartaglia, Raiden Shogun's Normal Attacks will change after activating her Elemental Burst and can deal Electro DMG.
![]() Transcendence: Baleful Omen |
Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill, Transcendence: Baleful Omen, can deal Electro DMG to enemies and provide an Eye of Stormy Judgement.
After using the Skill, Raiden Shogun also summons an Eye of Stormy Judgement, a buff that can increase your party's Elemental Burst DMG while also providing coordinated Electro DMG.
After using Raiden Shogun's Elemental Burst, Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu, she will be able to deal Electro DMG using her Normal Attacks for a short period of time while having increased interruption RES & Electro-charged immunity.
Use the Elemental Bursts of other party members to increase the Raiden Shogun's Resolve stacks. Resolve stacks increase the DMG dealt by Raiden Shogun during her Elemental Burst, therefore the more Resolve you have, the stronger Raiden Shogun gets.
