Baal, the Raiden Shogun is a new playable character in Genshin Impact's Version 2.1 update, and there are some optimal character build options for anyone who pulls her. Players will have the opportunity to pull for the Electro Archon and her lieutenant, Kujou Sara, during the Reign of Serenity Event Wish. For players blessed by the Gacha, here are the best Artifacts and weapons for the Raiden Shogun.
The Raiden Shogun is a 5-star Electro character in Genshin Impact, who uses polearms in battle. The main focus is to use her Elemental Burst to unleash high damaging attacks within a small timeframe, which makes Baal a great sub-DPS character in the game. If players are looking for a strong substitute damage dealer that can offer support to other allies, then the Raiden Shogun may be a good option.
Baal's Elemental Burst can infuse enemies with electro allowing her to trigger Elemental Reactions in battle. As a sub-DPS within a team, she relies heavily on Energy Recharge for her Talents. Players will want to raise Baal's ATK and recharge stats in order to increase how often she can use her Elemental Burst, as well as improving her damage output. Gamers will need to equip the right Artifacts and weapons in order to use the Raiden Shogun to the fullest potential.
Genshin Impact: Baal's Best Artifacts & Weapons Explained
The best type of Artifact in Genshin Impact for the Raiden Shogun is the Emblem of Severed Fate set. Having two pieces equipped on a character will increase Energy Recharge by 20%, which synergizes with Baal's Talents. Equipping four pieces will increase Elemental Burst damage by 25% off of the character's Energy Recharge stats. The set will have a maximum of 75% bonus damage, meaning players should not go over 300% for her Energy Recharge stats. If gamers cannot equip the four-piece Emblem of Severed Fate set, then Baal will also benefit from the two-piece Noblesse Oblige and the two-piece Thundering Fury, which increases Electro and Elemental Burst damage.
For gamers who are free-to-play, The Catch is a new polearm that can be obtained during the Genshin Impact Lunar Realm fishing event. The 4-star polearm will increase the Elemental Burst CRIT rate, up to 12%, and damage up to 32% based on refinement level. As an event weapon, all players will have the opportunity to max refine The Catch. For gamers attempting to pull on the new weapons Banner, The Engulfing Lighting is the best polearm for the Raiden Shogun because it increases her Energy Recharge by 55.1% and ATK by 608. The weapon also has an effect that will increase ATK by 28% base on the Energy Recharge stat that is over 100%. The polearm will additionally offer a 30% Energy Recharge for 12 seconds after using an Elemental Burst attack.
Players will need to balance Baal's overall stats. Having too much Elemental Recharge will result in lower damage, but having too little will make her Elemental Burst wait time longer. As a sub-DPS unit, her CRIT rate and CRIT damage also need to be high. Gamers will need to invest time farming the right Artifacts for Baal. Despite being one of the more complicated characters to build in Genshin Impact, players lucky enough to pull the Raiden Shogun will have a great sub-DPS to use in battle.
