If I recall it right, it's only when you use EL that you replace your ATK% sands with ER, and electro goblet with ATK% due to EL's ATK bonus since you're hitting 2k+ ATK. The Catch users should stick with ATK% sands, the traditional dps setup. Or did I get this somehow mixed up?
I have 30 crit rate and 200 crit dmg with the catch r5 i just can't find a crit rate circlet I've been farming for months T_T
Everyone is saying something different and it's been months since she's been out, this is what makes her unique though.
Sup sup fappers
Thanks for the video. I now fully understand how to use raiden shogun. What about yae miko guide?
I may be unlucky with weapon rolls but got lucky on my Raiden artifacts. all stats you gave came to me in 4 condensed resin.
Crit rate- 61%, Crit dmg-141%, Er- 270%, unfortunately atk is at 1597.
I need the engulfing lightning.
@EroticWalruss please fix your sleep schedule, postin at 1 am isnt healthy we care for youu
for me i ran ER sands before but i change into Atk% cause i realize engulfing lightning passive gives free ER that let me goes over the diminishing return .
Seeing your raiden at c0 and dealing great damage consoles me that if i hit hard pity and get the donut r2 before engulf and hitting c2, it would be fine. I've farm emblem for 3 months and 65-145 ratio is the best i could farm for😔
260% er benchmark is overblown, I suggest not to compromise your other stats just to reach it.
So can i run pmjws on her ? heared sekapoko saying that he likes crit rate weapon on raiden. If i do so, would my build change from the catch r5 build ? 🙂 ty
Walruss on hyper comp with Bennet and Sara you gain so much atk that electro goblet is better
Also go crown that burst what r u doin
Mine sitting at 49.8/187% crit with 250 er. That's is with a atk sand, electro gob, and crit dmg circlet. Also have the sig weapon. I tried using a atk sands in my case the electro gob simply does more consistent dmg. But that maybe just me.
As a Raiden haver myself who's been minmaxing her for many months, I have my stat distribution preference on her:
1. Crit Rate range: 55-65
2. Crit Dmg range: 140-170
3. ER: 230-270
4. ATK: 2k+ at least (with EL without pyro reso)
I have an R1 EL and also keeping at least 2 variants of her sand, both ATK & ER. For ER sand, I use it when she is paired with ATK buffers like Sara & Bennet. This is because I can maximize her ER to 270, which will maximize EoSF set during her burst without having to worry about my ATK stats. Usually when using ER sand I'd go for at least 2K atk stat (after EL passive, without pyro reso). Meanwhile ATK sand is used for when there is no atk buffer paired with her. Thats how Im balancing her.
Currently my Raiden sits at C3 and my highest showcase damage is 900k on PMA (w/ Sara-Bennet-Mona)
I'm still farming for better crit rate circlet for her though. The artifact grind never ends!
If you are trying to pull for her, I wish you good luck!
I needed help building my Raiden since I use her a lot so this was useful.
Good video! Thanks for the tips.
I've been farming artefacts for the past lile 4 weeks since I knew she was coming back and I've got super lucky! All with CR/CD, ER sands, ATK goblet and I got crit rate and crit damage circlet to swap between to see which is better!
From my personal experience is Raiden needs ATK while maintaining her ER, if you are Fish to Play don't worry 220 ~ 230 ER is really good, having 260 ER even above is not that good on The Catch because the lacks of ATK (unless you solve this via having whale support ATK buffer). If you are EL user then sure 260 ER and above is your thing. Because it converts ER into ATK.
I think encouraging people to reach 260 ER while he's equiping EL si kinda ….
I'd say you don't need that much ER. I don't have uptime issues and i'm 231 ER with 63.7/182.1 crit (including catch CR) 2061 ATK (ATK sands and cup)
Just a few things. You don't need 260-280 ER% 250% is fine whit The Catch. You only go 270%+ whit EL. 200% ER% is fine if you use atk% goblet there is no difference in DPS just your EB gives less ER to the party. And sands depends on the weapon you are using,
Goblet depends on the team and weapon as well. EX. If you are running Sara and/or Bennett Electro goblet >>>> ATK goblet cuz you'll have too much atk% whit buffs and will hit diminishing returns. And if you are using The Catch you want attack buffers in your team cuz you don't have that sweet EL passive that converts ER in to ATK.
For Starter Raidens 60/130 crit ratio 200% ER is fine until you go in to min maxing.
If you are lucky and get c6 Sara focus on crit rate more than cdmg
is 2058 atk the catch 258 er 61 cr 135 cd good enough
The ultimate takeaway from the video is balance your raiden stats, there is no rigid formula for what artifacts you should be using.
If your attack is low like mine was (I only had 1320 attack with ER sands) then switch to ATK% sands (now I’m at 2100 attack which is huge, got lucky with ATK% substats too) and I’m managing to have 210% ER still. You have to remember that, mathematically the 50% ER you’re losing out on only equates to 12.5% burst damage from emblem set and 20% electro damage bonus. The attack gained is going to have more of an impact.
With these stats I increased my burst damage by 20k, my current record is 179k burst damage with favonius sword Bennett, TToDS sucrose, and C5 skyward harp Kujou Sara. I imagine I can easily reach 200k with that last constellation. This is with completely F2P raiden with R5 Catch.
But my raiden does more damage with 180 cdmg and 210 er than having 120 cdmg and 260 er 🤔
Good stuff. Reaffirmed my thoughts. Thank you,Walrus.
A very insightful video! I already have her built and at a relatively high investment aswell but its very helpful for new players hoping to cop her considering how much versatility she provides in both the open world and abyss!
gg
Does this mean Raiden is one of the few characters who works well with split scaling?
Is it only me or you are using trahs taste ots???
Thank you for explaining the WHYs behind selecting artifacts. I was having second thoughts on pulling for Raiden and while watching your guide, I realized that was because I didn't really understand her kit. Now I have an insight about her build and I'm inspired to pull for her. Thanks!
I think 260 is the threshold to hit with ER above that you need to switch to attack ASAP. I actually did this change last week. the difference lord. I am c3.i use to run electro dmg and ER sand with 260-270er and my initial hit will 300k or close. when I switched to ATK and ATK. my initial hit went to 550k! BEFORE with all buff it will hit 470k now it hits 600k plus. to me HIGH ATTACK on Raiden is a must. I also have you exact same starts crit ratio 61/130.8. so now my stats are 257ER, 2999 attack, .63.1% ELECTRO DMG
So around how much electro dmg should i have in total? I personally have around 110-120
Mostly all ok Walruss but if i remeber right, cup is dependent on team.
If you buff Raiden with Sara or Bennett Atk or Edmg don't have much difference.
If you have both buff's Edmg is better.
Plus if you have EL at any refine, ER is always better than Atk%.
Well time to switch out the staff for spine. How about support for eula?
Bro has level 2 friendship with raiden
65cr 170cd goated
I'm at 220 ER and zero problem with ER at all. I don't rely my team's energy on Raiden only instead, I work around my team's energy funneling. What I don't like is having Raiden a weak ult and weak consecutive dmg after the ult. I need her to crit a lot with constant 150k+ ult and 20k+ dmg after ult. So I don't sacrifice my crits just to get high ER. My Raiden is at 2,400 ATK, 70% CritRate, 150% CritDmg, 220 ER. Her dps is consistently high. Forget about too much ER lol.
Kazuha, Bennett, Xinqiu, Xiangling with Favonious Lance, Sucrose, Mona, etc, can help with ER.
I have the opposite problem, my energy recharge is to high at 295%.
cool, so I did build her correctly, so many guides out there that says run atk sands with catch or run electro goblet if using a buffer etc. My Raiden stats are ATK: 1900— ER: 278—-CR: 63 (without catch passive) CD: 144. Got lucky with embelm set giving me "on piece emblem pieces of" electro goblet (35 cd) and atk goblet (35 cd, er, and cr, 40 cv). My off piece is the ER sands and I don't have a busted one, but I'm satisfied with what I have.
This is so off-putting. Could put her with EULA and the catch.. ok..ish, but for national team would rather put her with pjws and xiangling with the catch. Building this level of er and cd/cr on her at the same time in either case is again… pretty damn off-putting. Be farming for months
If I have er sands, do you think I should go for an atk goblet with bad sub stats or an electro dmg goblet with good ones?
should i get Raiden, i've been wanting kazuha for the longest time, got my iron sting lvl 90, got my aftifacts, got everything ready for him, but raiden just seems too good to skip.
I got 50 pity rn, 36 pulls, but i got 2months worth of welkin if i want to.
Btw is prototype starglitter r5 good enough for her?
Does this make Wavebreaker Fin not viable then?
Because the Wavebreaker Fin won't give energy recharge, and you can't make up for it with a goblet.
Yes yes yes YES
the difference between an atk%/elecrobonus vs er/atk% is not much and can be decided by substats if you use the catch.
I've farmed for months and my atk/electrobonus build edges out the er/atk one i've built for her just beacause the sand and goblet have shittier subs.
if you don't have engulfing you don't have to boost your er up to 270-280 to maximise the weapon's effect, that effect makes a noticeable difference even with 230er ( atk +40% at r1) and can cover the loss of an atk main stat at 270er ( atk +75%). this gets huge at further refinements. engulfing lightning builds are just a different league
I just pulled her and I love her!
I just hit 450k with C3 Raiden.. thanks to her banner rerun, I wanted her bis but I just can't afford it right now 😭
The 10% bump from 250% to 260% ER cannot be that big. It just can't. Right now, I have a Raiden with an Atk% sands, Electro Goblet, and 253% ER and her crit ratio is around 62/116. Mind you, I only have the Catch, so my attack value is significantly lower (1637), but all I think I need is a bit more crit dmg to make her ideal.
