Genshin 6.7 Raiden Shogun Build Guide — Artifacts, Weapons & Teams

The Genshin Raiden Shogun build guide is essential reading right now: the Electro Archon returns on her rerun banner in Genshin Impact Version 6.7 Phase 2, running July 21 to August 11, 2026, and she remains one of the most flexible units in the game — a battery, a burst enabler, and a main DPS all in one polearm. Whether you're building her as a hypercarry driving her own Musou Isshin state or as the glue that powers the legendary Raiden National team, getting her artifacts, weapon, stats, and teams right is the difference between a Raiden who fizzles and one who single-handedly funds your whole rotation. This is a complete, layered guide for both new Travelers pulling their first Archon and veterans re-optimizing an old build for the current meta.

In plain terms: Raiden does two big jobs. She generates energy so your other characters can use their strongest attacks (their "Bursts") far more often, and she buffs the damage of those Bursts. On top of that, she can deal heavy Electro damage herself. Build her around one stat — Energy Recharge — and everything else falls into place.

🔥 Why Raiden Shogun Still Matters in 6.7

Years after release, Raiden remains a top-tier pick because her kit does something few units can: she solves your team's energy problems and boosts everyone's Burst damage and deals real damage herself. That three-in-one identity is why she anchors two of the most durable team archetypes in Genshin — Raiden National and Raiden Hyperbloom — both of which are still endgame-viable in the current Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater rotations.

• Universal battery. Her Elemental Skill restores energy to the whole party, letting greedy Burst units fire on cooldown.
• Team-wide Burst buff. Her Eye of Stormy Judgment increases the Burst DMG of every party member based on her stacked energy investment.
• Self-scaling damage. Her passive converts Energy Recharge above 100% into an Electro DMG Bonus, so the stat that fixes your energy also fuels her damage.

⚔️ Raiden Shogun Kit Breakdown

In plain terms: her Skill plants a buff field, and her Burst turns her into a spinning Electro carry while refilling the team's energy. The magic is that one stat — Energy Recharge — powers all of it.

• Passive — Chakra Desiderata: while off-field, Raiden stacks Resolve whenever your other characters use their Elemental Bursts. More Resolve means a stronger Raiden Burst.
• Elemental Skill — Transcendence: Baleful Omen: deploys the Eye of Stormy Judgment, which coordinates attacks and, most importantly, grants the whole team an Elemental Burst DMG bonus that scales with Raiden's Energy Recharge.
• Elemental Burst — Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu: Raiden enters the Musou Isshin state, dealing Electro DMG with her sword; her attacks in this state restore energy to the party, and her per-hit damage scales with the Resolve stacks she banked.
• Ascension passive — Enlightened One: converts every 1% Energy Recharge above 100% into 0.4% Electro DMG Bonus — the reason ER is both her utility stat and her damage stat.

💎 Best Weapons for Raiden Shogun

In plain terms: pick the weapon that matches how you use her. Hypercarry Raiden wants raw damage; National/battery Raiden wants Energy Recharge; Hyperbloom Raiden wants Elemental Mastery.

• Engulfing Lightning (signature, best-in-slot): the top choice for DPS Raiden — it converts ATK from her ER and boosts Burst damage, doubling down on her whole identity.
• The Catch (best F2P option): a free craftable polearm that gives Energy Recharge, Elemental Burst DMG, and Burst CRIT Rate — genuinely close to signature-tier for a hypercarry on a budget. This is the single most recommended weapon for most players.
• Dragon's Bane (Hyperbloom builds): when Raiden is a sub-DPS Electro trigger, its high 221 Elemental Mastery passive amplifies the reaction damage that matters most.
• Other options: Staff of the Scarlet Sands, Calamity Queller, or any high-ER polearm work as fillers, but The Catch outperforms most 4-stars for her specific kit.

🔮 Best Artifact Sets for Raiden Shogun

In plain terms: your artifact set depends on her role. As a damage-dealing Raiden you want the Burst-focused set; as a reaction Raiden you want Elemental Mastery.

• Emblem of Severed Fate (Main DPS — best): the definitive set. 2-piece gives +20% Energy Recharge; 4-piece increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of Energy Recharge (up to 75%) — a perfect match, since stacking ER buffs both her energy and her Burst damage.
• Flower of Paradise Lost (Hyperbloom sub-DPS — best): boosts Bloom/Hyperbloom reaction damage with a strong EM statline, ideal when Raiden's job is triggering reactions rather than hitting hard herself.
• Gilded Dreams (Hyperbloom alt): a farmable EM set that raises her ATK/EM based on party elements — a reliable second choice for reaction builds.

For a hypercarry, run 4-piece Emblem. For Hyperbloom, run 4-piece Flower of Paradise Lost (or Gilded Dreams if you haven't farmed it).

📊 Stat & Substat Priority

In plain terms: Energy Recharge first, always — it fixes energy AND becomes damage. Then crit and attack for a hypercarry, or Elemental Mastery for Hyperbloom.

For DPS / National Raiden — main stats:

1. Sands: Energy Recharge (aim for a total of ~200%–250% ER depending on your team's energy needs).
2. Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus.
3. Circlet: CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG.

Substat priority (DPS): Energy Recharge (until you hit your breakpoint) → CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG → ATK% → Electro DMG.

For Hyperbloom Raiden — main stats: Elemental Mastery Sands / EM or ATK Goblet / EM or CRIT Circlet, keeping just enough ER (~160%–200%) to Burst on rotation. Substat priority: Elemental Mastery → Energy Recharge → everything else. Hyperbloom damage doesn't crit, so EM is king here.

Breakpoint note: in the Raiden National team she often only needs around 200% ER because Xiangling and the team feed her particles; solo-battery duties in energy-hungry comps can push the requirement toward 250%+. Build to your actual team, not to a universal number.

👥 Best Team Comps for Raiden Shogun

In plain terms: Raiden slots into several of the strongest teams in the game. Here are the templates that carry endgame content.

• Raiden National (the classic): Raiden + Xiangling + Xingqiu + Bennett. Bennett buffs ATK and heals, Xingqiu and Xiangling apply Hydro and Pyro for Vaporize/Overload, and Raiden drives with enhanced attacks during her Burst while funding everyone's energy. Still one of the most damage-dense, low-investment teams available.
• Raiden Hypercarry: Raiden + Kujou Sara + Kaedehara Kazuha + Bennett. Sara and Bennett stack ATK, Kazuha shreds Electro RES and groups enemies, and Raiden becomes the sole on-field carry — enormous single-rotation burst.
• Raiden Hyperbloom: Raiden + a Dendro unit (Nahida/Yaoyao) + a Hydro unit (Xingqiu/Yelan) + a flex. Raiden's rapid Electro procs trigger Hyperbloom explosions off the Dendro Cores — a reaction team where she wants Elemental Mastery, not crit.
• Pure Electro / Aggravate: Raiden pairs with Dendro and a second Electro to run Aggravate for consistent, easy-to-pilot damage.

📈 Damage Ceiling & Rotation

In plain terms: your job is to bank Resolve, then unload. A clean rotation makes her damage jump dramatically.

1. Open with supports' Elemental Bursts — every off-field Burst feeds Raiden's Resolve stacks, raising her eventual Burst damage.
2. Cast Raiden's Skill to plant the Eye and apply the team-wide Burst buff.
3. Cast Raiden's Burst last, then use her enhanced Normal/Charged attacks through the Musou Isshin window — this is where her damage and the team's energy refund both peak.
4. Rotate back to supports and repeat; the energy she refunds keeps the whole team's Bursts online.

The ceiling scales hardest with ER (for the Emblem/passive multipliers), crit quality, and full Resolve stacks from casting support Bursts before hers. Sloppy rotation order — Bursting Raiden first — is the most common reason a well-geared Raiden underperforms.

🎯 Constellations — Where the Value Is

In plain terms: she's fully functional at C0, but a couple of constellations are famously strong if you can afford them.

• C0: completely endgame-viable in every role — do not feel pressured to go further.
• C1: a quality-of-life boost that helps her ignore some enemy DEF and smooths rotations.
• C2 (the big one): a large, well-known damage spike for hypercarry Raiden — the most impactful stopping point for spenders.
• C3 / C5: level up her Burst and Skill talents; nice but not priority.
• C6: a whale-tier finisher that adds attack speed and extra hits during her Burst.

For most players, C0 with The Catch or Engulfing Lightning is the target; C2 is the dream upgrade, not a requirement.

📅 Rerun Banner Timeline

• Banner: Raiden Shogun's rerun (Reign of Serenity), featured in Version 6.7 Phase 2.
• Window: July 21 – August 11, 2026 — roughly three weeks to decide and pull.
• Weapon banner: Engulfing Lightning is expected to rate-up alongside her for players chasing the signature.

💡 Build Tips & Common Mistakes

• Don't over-cap ER. Past your team's energy breakpoint, extra ER still converts to Electro DMG — but crit and ATK usually give more damage per substat. Hit your ER target, then pivot to offense.
• Burst order matters more than gear. Always fire support Bursts before Raiden's to bank full Resolve. This alone can swing her damage massively.
• Match set to role. Never run Emblem on a Hyperbloom Raiden or EM sets on a hypercarry — the reaction and crit scalings don't overlap.
• The Catch is not a downgrade to be ashamed of. For National and battery duty it performs within a hair of the signature at zero cost.
• Level her Skill for the team buff. The Eye's Burst-DMG bonus scales with talent level and her ER, so her Skill talent is worth investing even on a "support" Raiden.

🗺️ Where Raiden Ranks in the 6.7 Meta

In plain terms: even against newer five-stars, Raiden holds her value because her role is timeless — energy, buffs, and damage in one slot.

• Still S-tier as an enabler. Newer carries have raised the damage ceiling, but very few units match Raiden's ability to keep an entire team's Bursts online while buffing them, which keeps Raiden National and Hyperbloom relevant every abyss cycle.
• Low investment, high floor. A C0 Raiden on The Catch with a farmable Emblem set clears endgame comfortably — she rewards modest accounts more than most Archons.
• Flexible across content. Her kit adapts to Spiral Abyss burst checks and the multi-team demands of Imaginarium Theater, where owning a reliable battery is a genuine roster advantage.
• Great first Archon. If you're early in the game, Raiden's universality means she'll find a home in almost any team you build for years.

The short version: she's not the flashiest damage dealer in 6.7, but she's one of the most useful units you can own, and her rerun window is the cleanest chance in a while to add or refine her.

🆕 New to Genshin Impact?

Genshin Impact is HoYoverse's open-world action RPG where you, the Traveler, build four-character teams and trigger Elemental Reactions for damage. Quick primer on the terms above:

• Elemental Burst is a character's strongest attack, powered by Energy; Energy Recharge (ER) makes those Bursts recharge faster.
• Artifacts are five gear pieces; a matching set bonus (like Emblem of Severed Fate) grants powerful effects.
• Elemental Mastery (EM) boosts reaction damage such as Hyperbloom (a Dendro + Hydro + Electro reaction).
• Constellations (C0–C6) are dupe upgrades, with C0 meaning zero copies (fully functional) and C6 the maximum. Raiden is completely endgame-ready at C0.
