TOP 5 MOST POPULAR RAIDEN SHOGUN TEAMS | GENSHIN IMPACT - YouTube

Raiden Shogun has been out for a while now so a lot of different compositions have been

explored and these are the top 5 most popular teams based on the latest abyss usage data.

But first a quick word from today’s sponsor.

This video is sponsored by Girl Café Gun – a new live 2d action RPG that features

a unique experience of shooting your enemies and running a virtual café.

Use your squad of cute soldiers and unleash a barrage of bullets to melt your enemies

away while also not forgetting to dodge but the game does provide convenient controls

so you’ll have an easy time avoiding attacks and returning fire.

What’s also great is that you can switch between 3 different characters and combine

their skills for various strategies.

Besides fighting, you’ll be busy running your virtual café by adding new decorations

and brewing different types of coffee while also forming bonds with many lovely characters,

by offering them gifts, sharing moments and enjoying some of the top voice acting performance.

In fact, the game is full of exciting audiovisual experience, from combat effects to extremely

detailed character interactions so you can actually feel a personal connection to them.

This first team is probably going to be most surprising one in the list because its none

other than Yoimiya leading the charge together with Raiden.

What could go wrong when two characters with their own controversial pasts start working

together?

Well, as it turns out – the results are actually quite surprising thanks to the newly

introduced Specters into the current Abyss rotation and the sustained damage also works

really well against the dreadful Mechanical Array.

And what’s even cooler, causing Overloads against these enemies isn’t a big deal since

they won’t get knockbacked, so even getting some elemental mastery on your Raiden’s

artifact rolls is going to be a happy accident.

What’s also great is that one of the biggest drawbacks with Yoimiya and other characters

like Childe or Hu Tao who rely on their elemental skills is that once the cooldown starts ticking,

this is the perfect time to bring in Raiden’s sword mode and restart the rotation.

Now the most popular team composition consists of Zhongli and Xingqiu which isn’t a huge

surprise, although it is quite important to note that Xingqiu has an expensive burst cost

of 80 which is exactly what Raiden needs when building up her Resolve since the other two

team mates aren’t willing to put in the work.

And when it comes to equipment, Engulfing Lightning and The Catch are the two most popular

weapon choices for Raiden but what’s even more dominant is how many people are running

the full set of Emblem of Severed Fate so for a character that’s considered complex,

the equipment choices are pretty clear.

And when looking at the rest of the team mates, Yoimiya’s weapon choices are pretty slim

with people either opting for Thundering Pulse or Rust while the artifact set that’s getting

the most attention is the Reminiscence 4-piece set followed by its 2-set bonus combined with

Crimson Witch but its clear you need the 4-set bonus if you have Thundering Pulse and want

to maintain its passive.

At least Zhongli as always is perfectly content with Black Tassel, Deathmatch or Favonius

Lance while Archaic Petra 4-set remains as a top choice, which is especially great for

helping to boost that Pyro or Electro damage but there are few percentages of players instead

using a combination of 2-set Noblesse and Archaic Petra or Tenacity of Milelith.

Finally for the bookworm, everyone seems to be still fixated on using Sacrificial Sword

on him, even when Raiden is here to help out with his energy issues so if you don’t have

the sword, you can still use Favonius or even a more offensive weapon to increase his damage

output.

And as for his artifacts – for better damage it’s the mix of 2-sets between Noblesse

and Heart of Depth but Emblem of Severed Fate is a slight upgrade depending if you have

good substats but in reality, the other popular option is to actually use 4-piece Noblesse

set.

Honestly, none of this is surprising and just goes to show that even when you play a duo

like Yoimiya and Raiden, the rest of the high value team mates still bring the same loadouts.

But it’s still great to see both of these characters working together and it just goes

to show how much an influence a change in the Abyss rotation can have for popular teams.

There’s no better feeling when you can take your ultimate showcasing team and actually

use it outside of those few glorious seconds when trying to capture the highest damage

number.

This is also a composition that heavily relies on how much you’ve invested into Raiden

because those buffs she will be getting have a pretty significant relationship with her

own power level.

So, here’s how the team works – you’ve got Kujou Sara and Bennett with their attack

buffs while Kazuha plays a crucial role of shredding enemy’s resistance, increasing

team’s electro DMG and grouping those suckers for Raiden’s burst pumped full of steroids.

Like seriously, you will feel the significance of each and every resource you put into Raiden.

But this is also where the public outcry comes from the huge power gap between 0 and 3 constellations.

However, it doesn’t mean this comp is weak with a C0 Raiden and in fact, Abyss usage

statistics suggests that players don’t really because unless you are absolutely dedicated

as a light spender or free to play player, realistically you’ll always just go for

the unlock itself not additional constellations where they are reserved for baiting the whales

in the most literal sense.

Now for alternative team mates, the only reasonable one would be Lisa substituting for Kujou Sara

by using Thrilling Tales of the Dragon Slayers to simulate a similar yet inferior ATK boost

version for Raiden but on the flipside, the librarian does decrease enemy’s DEF by 15%

when using her burst and she actually can deal significant amount of damage if you choose

to invest into her.

And let’s not forget she could also use 4-set Noblesse to provide even more value.

It’s also important to note Kujou Sara without her 2nd constellation is cumbersome without

her burst when trying to apply that attack boost, which is something to keep in mind

if you instead decide to go for Lisa.

Now for the equipment, it’s pretty easy to make decisions for Kazuha because all you

need is an Iron Sting which the majority of players are using as the data suggests, while

the stronger choice of course would be the Freedom Sworn with a very small percentage

of people opting for either Sacrificial or Favonius swords.

And obviously he needs to have 4-piece Viridescent Venerer on him.

Now for Benny Boy, just slap onto him a sword with highest base attack unless of course

you’ve managed to get your hands onto Festering Desire way back when it was available, since

that’s what a lot of players use.

And as for Sara, she’s in a very similar situation as Bennett, you want a bow with

high base ATK and as the statistics show, anyone who has Skyward Harp gives it to her

while her second option is Sacrificial Bow, mainly acting as dumb stat stick which provides

nice base attack and good energy recharge from the substat.

Otherwise it’s Favonius Bow coming in third which everyone has at least 1 copy of.

Now there is a choice that needs to be made and that is the responsibility of who will

be the bearer of Noblesse artifact set since both Benny and Sara can fulfill this role,

however, it does seem like the majority of people had decided to give Emblem of Severed

Fate to Sara while Benny does the whole thing with Noblesse, which kind of makes sense since

in the rotation, he is the second one to go after Raiden’s initial elemental skill.

Either way, this is definitely a team that turns Raiden’s Sword mode into fun mode

from the amount of big numbers you’ll see flying off in all directions.

It looks like whenever there’s talks about strong team builds, Hu Tao always uses the

chance to flex her powerful nickname composition.

Well, calling this her composition would be a stretch since she heavily relies on both

Xingqiu and Zhongli to keep her alive and help her produce Vaporize on charged attacks

so only 1 spot is left open and this is where Raiden comes in by offering some great benefits

for this team build that’s been quite popular in the Abyss meta since Hu Tao first debuted.

First of all, it’s no secret anybody who plays Hu Tao can agree she sometimes has issues

with her own energy burst uptime, so having Electro Archon help out with this is pretty

significant not to mention there’s always going to be that cooldown you need to wait

out on her Elemental Skill, so this leaves with a perfect opening for Raiden to use her

own Burst.

Also, because of the way Electro-charged works, both Hydro and Electro co-exist and quite

often when combining Xingqiu’s Swords with Raiden’s elemental skill, Hu Tao will cause

both Overload and Vaporize so this helps with maintaining consistency and not lose out too

much on overall damage performance.

Still, the infamous knockback from Overload will work against you when facing off certain

enemies so your mileage may vary depending on which floor you’re at but luckily, in

a place that is filled with Specters who could care less about knockbacks this isn’t much

of an issue, hence why there’s probably also a surge of increased usage for this team

comp on this particular side of the floor.

Now for the loadouts, what’s been said on Yoimiya’s comp pretty much applies here

the same way to Xingqiu and Zhongli while Hu Tao’s top three weapon choices based

on usage statistics are Staff of Homa, Deathmatch and Dragon’s Bane and most dominant artifact

set on her is 4-set Crimson Witch followed by a small percentage of people using 2 Set

combo of Wanderer’s Troupe and Crimson Witch as a budget alternative.

Keep in mind these are just popular picks and you could still go for something like

Blackcliff Pole if you haven’t got the other weapons.

But that’s pretty much it, it’s a nice and simple composition that doesn’t leave

much room for alternative picks unless some new character comes out with a great hydro

application or a beefy shield.

Or you could decide to kick out Raiden from the team and add someone else instead of her

but that would probably hurt Ei’s feelings…

It didn’t take long for the most obvious team comp to become widely used throughout

the Abyss and for a good reason too.

Previously Eula’s biggest hurdle was her burst’s cost so Diona along with a Sacrificial

Bow was her ideal duo partner but now that Raiden is able to supplement those energy

needs, the team got redefined quite drastically.

What’s also important to understand about this whole composition is that both Eula and

Raiden share a significant chunk of their time on the field unlike previously where

it was basically just the vengeful lady doing all the fighting - but the point is – this

comp truly feels refreshing when sharing the hyper damage dealer responsibility between

two characters.

However, because of the amount of time it takes to pull of these rotations, misplaying

will be costly and bouncing back from it can be especially devastating against enemies

that have invincibility frames or happen to be very mobile, so imagine how painful it

can be to miss that Lightfall sword explosion or Raiden’s initial burst slash.

But on the bright side – sustained damage is still pretty exciting, since you can fallback

to Eula’s physical attacks and cause easy Superconducts thanks to Raiden’s elemental

skill.

Now, for the most popular configurations – you’ll often see the trinity of Rosaria, Eula and

the Electro Archon herself while the last team mate remains as a flexible choice but

most of the time its Zhongli or Bennett showing up with their godlike presence.

Now this doesn’t mean Diona is entirely replaceable since because of the current Ley

Line Disorder on Floor 11, you pretty much got no other choice than to run together with

the catgirl.

Also, another great thing about Diona is that she can relieve Zhongli from defensive duties

and you can run another strong sub damage dealer in the team.

And as for the most exciting part – the equipment choices are all pretty much straightforward

– Eula’s two most popular weapon picks are either Wolf’s Gravestone or Song of

Broken Pines with Serpent Spine as the next candidate in line and there’s a healthy

divide between either running a full set of Pale Flame or its 2 set bonus along with Bloodstained

Chivalry.

For Rosaria, it’s either Favonius Lance or Deathmatch depending on your energy needs

and then either a full set of Noblesse Oblige which is highly recommended but if you can’t

afford that then it’s the 2 set bonus mixed with along with Blizzard Strayer.

And if you decide to go for Diona, then a refined Sacrificial Bow is the choice of the

people although you can also use Favonius but you definitely want to run a full set

of Noblesse as the usage stats suggest themselves.

All in all, this is definitely one of the easiest team choices you’ll ever go for

if you have Eula unlocked since not only does it offer quite a lot flexibility thanks to

Raiden’s help but it just so happens you don’t have to pick between other high demand

units or at least not all of them.

At this point, it doesn’t take much to recognize one of the most popular team comps in the

entire game and it just so happens that Raiden works extremely well with it.

This of course is the National team that’s been known to be a composition that brings

salvation to F2P players while also managing to keep the whales entertained with expensive

5-star weapons and constellations.

Now before players adapted Raiden to this team comp, you’d usually see in her place

either Sucrose who buffed the team’s elemental mastery and provided awesome resistance shred

as well as some moderate grouping OR it was the popsicle boy who sprinkled some freeze

and cryo infusions into the mix.

But that’s all in the past or at least if you own Raiden.

This comp has soared in the usage statistics and now dominates most of the Abyss thanks

to its several strong advantages.

The first and most important strength is that the often seen complaint about Raiden’s

potential locked behind constellations isn’t that drastic when used in this team since

her damage or at least her field time isn’t just her doing all the work but everyone contributing

to it together.

It’s an extremely flexible team playstyle and only Raiden truly needs to have some dedicated

time to unleash her burst so a misplay won’t be the end of your rotation.

Obviously, the other big thing is Xingqiu’s and Xiangling’s burst costs that help build

Raiden’s resolve faster which in return allows her to refund those empty bars with

lots of energy from her sword mode.

Still, for some drawbacks, you’d be a fool if you tried to put someone else into this

team so the composition itself is pretty much set in stone and you can’t really afford

alternative team mates not to mention you have to rely on everyone’s quickswapping

capabilities which means you have to have resources invested into them.

Luckily, since these 3 legendary friends are known to be some of the most popular choices

in team building, it’s quite likely they will already have their weapons, artifacts

and talents prepared.

Speaking of which, the equipment choices have been covered in previous teams and the only

one left that we could talk about is Xiangling.

Now for her weapons, previously the most popular pick especially in National comp was Dragon’s

Bane but if you happen to have Engulfing Lighting on Raiden then you can easily give The Catch

to the chef because it provides her with the much needed Energy Recharge which you still

have to have at least 140% give or take depending how well you can perfect the rotation and

what enemies you’re going up against but the other big thing is obviously going to

be the passive itself which works really well on her.

Now for her artifacts, it seems like Emblem of Severed Fate and Crimson Witch are the

most popular picks, which is interesting because even if Emblem set provides a slightly better

edge in a lot of scenarios, not a lot of people are willing to spend their resin on a new

set for Xiangling if they already had Crimson Witch on her not to mention you have to worry

about getting decent pieces of Emblem set on Raiden herself.

But that’s basically National Electro Archon team in a nutshell.

This is currently a composition a lot of players have chosen to use for the newest Abyss rotation

which can easily clear any side of the chamber and any floor giving you a lot of freedom

when using the second team.

Instead of the usual character build you would expect to see, it just didn’t really make

much sense to create one because in all honesty - you don’t need 10 minutes explaining the

obvious build everybody is going for since you basically have one superb artifact set

and a couple of polearm choices.

So, why not explore what everyone else is building and give you a better idea how to

compose a cohesive team together with Raiden since we are using 3 more characters and quite

often a composition or even a single character can affect another one’s build which is

precisely why it’s best to look at Raiden from team building perspective.
