Baal is an Electro Archon and is a 5-star Polearm character set to be playable in Genshin Impact 2.1. Thanks to leaks, fans have gotten an early look at her abilities and their descriptions, which give an idea of what the God of Eternity can do on the battlefield. Baal seems to continue to the idea that Archons are powerful supportive characters, though she can definitely deal massive damage to her foes.


Baal's (Raiden Shogun) Elemental Skill:

Baal's Elemental Skill, Transcendence: Baleful Light, will first cause her to reveal a shard of her Eumythia, which will cause AOE Electro DMG to nearby enemies. After this, she will grant party members Eye of Stormy Judgment, which will deal coordinated attacks with her allies once per second. This buff currently lasts for 25 seconds and has a 10 second cooldown, meaning players can have this ability up constantly.

This ability can do some serious extra damage for a team, as its AOE explosion starts at 117.2% damage scaling at level one, and goes up to 210.69% at level ten. The coordinated attacks begin at 42% scaling and reach up to 75.6% at level ten, meaning gamers can get a ton of value out of this ability.


Raiden's Elemental Burst:

Baal's Elemental Burst is one of the longest ability descriptions in Genshin Impact, due to its many effects, but in gameplay it is a pretty simple ability. Upon activation of the Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu, Baal will summon her Musou no Hitotachi and deal a massive strike of Electro damage to nearby enemies. Afterwards, she will wield the Musou no Hitotachi and switch her attack pattern to that of a sword wielder. This lasts seven seconds, and she will deal greatly increased damage during this time.

This Genshin Impact ability also has a second feature that will increase its damage by a massive amount if managed properly. This is Shogan Byakugen no Rin, a stacking mechanic that will build up as other party members use their Elemental Bursts. As they do, Baal will build charges, upto 60, and when she uses her Elemental Burst these charges will be consumed to increase the damage of her initial Electro AOE attack and her Normal Attacks.


As with most Archons, Baal will bring a unique support style to Genshin Impact, allowing for players to harness the power of another one of Teyvat's gods. Baal will be releasing in Genshin Impact 2.1, and fans will definitely want to save up some extra Primogems for this powerful character.
