The full 4pc set of Emblem of Severed Fate will always be the best artifact set for Raiden Shogun outside Hyperbloom team comps. EoSF provides Energy Recharge from its 2pc bonus and an Elemental Burst DMG Bonus of up to 75% based on the unit's total ER, which is excellent for the Electro Archon.

Dragon's Bane is the best option for Raiden Shogun for a Hyperbloom build. It provides a lot of Elemental Mastery from its second stat. Additionally, Dragon's Bane's passive significantly increases the equipping unit's DMG against enemies affected by Hydro and Pyro.
