Raiden Shogun Team Composition in Genshin Impact

Raiden Shogun’s versatility and proficiency in multiple roles consistently position her at the top of Genshin Impact‘s rankings. Her expertise as a powerful Sub-DPS allows her to apply the Electro Element repeatedly with her Elemental Skill. Additionally, she possesses one of the most impactful Ultimates, leading to significant Electro Burst damage over a few seconds.

Despite her inclination to operate solo, the goddess relies on her teammates to maximize her capabilities in combat. The optimal characters to team up with Raiden Shogun vary based on her specific role, so this guide aims to present players with a selection of ideal teammates for Raiden teams in Genshin Impact.

Raiden Shogun + Xilonen + Kujou Sara + Kazuha

Utilizing Raiden Shogun as a hyper carry is completely valid, especially with her Elemental Burst capable of delivering massive damage, particularly when you have her C2. An array of support characters can significantly boost Raiden’s burst damage, including Xilonen, Kujou Sara, Furina, Kazuha, and Bennett. In this Raiden team composition, the primary reaction focused on is the Electro Swirl induced by Kazuha, which helps lessen enemies’ resistance to Electro damage. Xilonen also facilitates enemy resistance reduction with her Elemental Skill while providing a buff to Raiden if equipped with her Signature Weapon.

Moreover, Kazuha, Sara, and Xilonen all contribute buffs to enhance the damage of Raiden’s Elemental Burst. Notably, when she activates hers, Raiden will recharge all their Elemental Bursts, greatly optimizing team synergy and rotation.

Team Roles

Raiden Shogun: Main DPS, Buffer, Battery, Electro Enabler
Xilonen: Healer, Buffer, Debuffer
Kujou Sara: Buffer, Sub-DPS
Kazuha: Crowd Control, Buffer, Debuffer

Raiden Shogun + Zhongli + Nahida + Kujou Sara

Incorporating buffers to amplify the Electro Archon’s damage potential is effective, yet players can also capitalize on Dendro reactions within Genshin Impact. Nahida serves as an excellent Dendro enabler, complementing Raiden’s Electro applications and facilitating the continuous triggering of the Quicken reaction. Consequently, both Nahida and Raiden will alternate in triggering their Spread and Aggravate reactions.

Adding Zhongli and Kujou Sara further boosts Raiden Shogun’s effectiveness. Zhongli’s shielding abilities offer protection during Raiden’s Elemental Burst phase. However, players can easily replace him with another support like Xilonen.

Team Roles

Raiden Shogun: Main DPS, Buffer, Battery, Electro Enabler
Zhongli: Shielder, Buffer, Debuffer
Nahida: Sub-DPS, Buffer, Dendro Enabler
Kujou Sara: Buffer

Raiden Shogun + Yelan + Nahida + Xilonen

The Electro element synergizes particularly well with Dendro, making Dendro characters some of the most effective companions for the Electro Archon. This fusion significantly enhances Raiden’s ability to deal high damage via Aggravate reactions. In this configuration, Yelan adds off-field Hydro damage to the mix, further expanding the team’s potential with Hyperbloom and Electro-Charged elemental responses.

Team Roles

Raiden Shogun: Main DPS, Buffer, Battery, Electro Enabler
Yelan: Sub-DPS, Buffer, Hydro Enabler
Nahida: Sub-DPS, Buffer, Dendro Enabler
Xilonen: Healer, Buffer, Debuffer

Raiden Shogun + Neuvillette + Nahida + Furina

In this team setup, Neuvillette takes the lead as the main DPS while Raiden Shogun acts as Sub-DPS. Each member excels at applying their elemental types consistently, creating opportunities for a robust Hyperbloom team within Genshin Impact. Additionally, Nahida will significantly enhance the damage output of each Hyperbloom while also delivering substantial Spread damage herself.

As Neuvillette and Furina continually activate the Quicken effect on enemies, it is advisable to gear Raiden Shogun with the Flower of Paradise Lost and prioritize her Elemental Mastery to maximize Hyperbloom damage. The same approach should apply to Nahida, enhancing her utility to reduce enemy resistance to Dendro damage by using the Deepwood Memories set.
