Raiden Shogun is a character in Genshin Impact, an action role-playing game developed by miHoYo. Raiden Shogun, also known as Beelzebul, is the Electro Archon and the ruler of the Inazuma region in the game.
Raiden Shogun is a 5-star character who wields a polearm. She is known for her powerful Electro abilities and has a unique Elemental Burst called “Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu,” which unleashes a powerful Musou no Hitotachi attack.
Players can obtain Raiden Shogun through the game’s gacha system, using the “Wish” mechanics. Keep in mind that the game may have received updates or changes since my last knowledge update, so it’s a good idea to check the latest in-game information or official announcements for any updates regarding Raiden Shogun or other characters.
Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Skill is called “Transcendence: Baleful Omen,” which allows her to enter the Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu state, converting all Energy into Resolve and dealing AoE Electro damage to nearby enemies. In this state, she also provides an Energy regeneration bonus to her allies based on her Energy cost.
Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst, “Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu,” performs a powerful sword slash that deals massive AoE Electro damage to enemies and converts Energy into Resolve. Additionally, this ability boosts Raiden Shogun’s Attack and resolves around her Energy cost.
Her Elemental Burst has a unique mechanic where it consumes Resolve instead of Energy, and the damage scales with the amount of Resolve consumed. Players need to manage her Resolve effectively to maximize damage output.
Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst also synergizes well with her Elemental Skill, creating a dynamic playstyle that revolves around balancing Energy generation, Resolve management, and unleashing devastating Electro attacks.
