Best Artifact main stat for Raiden Shogun
For her artifact's main stat, Genshin Impact gamers have to adapt to their weapons of choice. Raiden Shogun's best-in-slot artifact main stat varies according to her equipment.
If players are using Energy Recharge weapons (Engulfing Lightning, Skyward Spine, or The Catch), then their main stat priority is:
- Attack/Attack/Critical Rate or Damage
- Energy Recharge/Attack/Critical Rate or Damage
- Attack/Electro/Critical Rate or Damage
- Energy Recharge/Electro/Critical Rate or Damage
On the other hand, if they are using weapons without Energy Recharge substat, then their main stat priority changes to:
- Energy Recharge/Electro/Critical Rate or Damage
- Energy Recharge/Attack/Critical Rate or Damage
- Attack/Attack/Critical Rate or Damage
- Attack/Electro/Critical Rate or Damage
Best weapons for Raiden Shogun's support build
For Raiden Shogun's weapons, those with Energy Recharge substat perform greatly. However, as previously mentioned, Raiden Shogun's performance is highly reliant on her equipment's combination.
Assuming players are using the correct main stat with the right weapons, then generally, the best weapons for Raiden Shogun's are:
- Engulfing Lightning
- Staff of Homa

- Vortex Vanquisher
- R5 The Catch
- Deathmatch
- Blackcliff Pole

Raiden Shogun's team comps
Raiden Shogun's supportive kit is handy in any team. However, some characters can significantly benefit from Raiden Shogun.
Eula
Eula is a Cryo character that uses Physical Damage in her attacks. With Raiden's skill, Eula can continuously trigger Superconduct, making it easier to deal damage.
Furthermore, if Raiden Shogun's "Eye of Stormy Judgment" is active when Eula uses her Elemental Burst, then she will gain a massive addition in her damage.
Yoimiya
Yoimiya is mainly used in an Overload composition due to her weakness in AOE. With Raiden Shogun, Yoimiya can trigger Overload easily. Furthermore, Raiden Shogun's Elemental Skill will also trigger Yoimiya's Elemental Burst without Yoimiya having to be swapped out.
Xingqiu
Xingqiu's Elemental Burst is one of the best in Genshin Impact. Not only that, but he's also excellent at Hydro application. With Xingqiu, Raiden Shogun can trigger Electro-charged non-stop.
