Raiden Shogun's entire kit revolves around providing energy to the whole party while dealing massive electro damage to enemies. She also has passive talents that increase her damage output when stacked with tons of Energy Recharges.

Her Elemental Skill has initial skill damage and then every time an active party member hits an opponent, the skill also deals coordinated electro damage to opponents.

Raiden’s Elemental Burst multipliers at higher levels are great. They make her suitable for nuke builds as well, where she can one-hit a few boss enemies in Genshin Impact.

The best artifact set that players can readily farm before her rerun banner is the four-piece set of Emblem of Severed Fate. The two-piece set bonus provides 20% Energy Recharge whereas the four-piece set bonus increases Elemental Burst damage by 25% of Energy Recharge.

Players can achieve a maximum of 75% bonus damage in this way. This artifact is tailor-made for her to take advantage of high-energy recharges to dish out immense damage with her Elemental Skill and Elemental Bursts. Players should also aim for ER/ATK/Crit main stats on the artifacts.

It is recommended to have Raiden Shogun’s Energy Recharge anywhere between 200-300% for maximum damage outputs and to get optimum rotations in team compositions.
