I love Raiden (Ei) and think she’s great but there’s been a LOT of drama with her release and there’s one issue that NEEDS to be fixed. I don’t normally make this video but i really care about this.

I am really passionate about this and I REALLY hope they can make this work, especially after changing the in-game wording instead of just fixing the issue. Hope you enjoyed the video!
Note: i feel like i have to clarify, an electro buff or an electro resonance buff can be nice, but either way this interaction has to be fixed. there's no reason for beidou-raiden to not work. (but im not against electro getting stronger)
Back to regular videos tomorrow lmao (Sara guide next)
So stoked to get raiden finally after only 30 pulls and I managed to get Sara c1.
Love your videos man when im looking for character guides I always check your channel first, great content and I can't wait for the sara guide
There's two major changes to reactions that I want to see. First, change the bonus damage of the reaction to match the triggering element. Not because this would increase damage, but because this would make electro a lot more useful as a shield breaking element, whereas right now it's in a kind of annoying "jack of all trades, master of none" role that feels like it has very little value due to pyro and cryo also effecting lots of different elements while also being the best counter to many of them. Right now proccing overload vs a pyro shield as an electro attacker does absolutely nothing, since the pyro shield or innate pyro enemy is just immune to the pyro damage, whereas attacking an electro shield or electro enemy with a pyro attack gets both the canceling reaction of pyro + electro, and then a second hit of pyro + electro from the overload.
Second, the elemental reactions that aren't vape/melt need to scale off more than just elemental mastery. No matter how much they buff EM, the fact is that having ONLY EM + level scaling results in an inherent practical disadvantage over a melt or vape that takes benefits from EM, ATK, crit rate, crit damage AND elemental% bonus. There's only so many stats you can reasonably boost on your artifacts, and even if you reach some theoretical maximal EM artifact set (which is extremely, EXTREMELY rare) it's still going to struggle against a good, well balanced ATK/elemental%/crit build because you can just have so many different sources all contributing to those stats, which in turn all contribute to the vape/melt. Letting overload/etc crit separately from the attack that triggered it could be a good compromise, as well as letting those reactions also benefit from elemental% bonuses (which would also make the craftable Iron Sting sword actually worth using!)
The problem here is that people are asking the wrong thing most people on reddit or the mihoyo forums are just crying for buffs. Instead they should just ask that beidou and Raiden shogun bursts interact with each other. same goes for other interactions like electro traveler's burst not working on Raiden Shogun's burst or how Raiden Shoguns E doesn't do anything against shields like i don't mind not getting particles but atleast dmg the shields.
Hey Zyox, can you help me with my acc. i just dont know how to full star the abyss anymore while others can do it using lower investment characters and artifacts etc 🥲 it really drained me u know 😞 sometimes i just want to give up with genshin 🥲 it just hurt
Bottleneck seems to be the correct word to interpret/summarize all this. For me, Raiden has been a fun character, easy and straightforward to build (even for F2P), just unique overall for her role. But sadly all those are held back by the things you have mentioned in the video. I don't regret pulling for her, in fact, she's probably my favorite character to play in a while (as in gameplay-wise), but i really hope they can unleash the potential she has
yeah pryo reactions are great but electro reactions are just meh so they should make things more balanced in every aspect
they should also change the team elemantal resosnance with 2 electro characters. 2 pyro gives you 20 or 25% dmg bonus so as a normal player to be able to do as much damage as i can i prefer having 2 pyro characters even if i wanted other characters more. im no game design expert but even there pryo is way better than any other element imo. they should atlest make it so that half of the elements are better than the others not just one. they can start with electro
I thought she was INSANE and EPIC
You're wrong about mihoyo , raiden's ult normal attacks initialy didn't count as burst damage , she was weak , and they wanted her burst to feel strong , so they added that her normal attacks count and burst damage after beta testers suggested it. The only thing mihoyo did wrong was not change the descriotion of her constelation when they changed her ult descryption.
YESSS ALOY GUIDE !!! I WAS WONDERING ABT THIS
she is quite trash for a arcon, still a cool char tho
About Electro being a weak ,I think they aren't buffing it because dendro will have a good reaction with electro , maybe that's the buff they are planning
They also worked together in beta so there's that.
0:33 “I just wanna get RAIDEN to it” smooth
The Beidou interaction honestly has me really upset as well. I spent quite a while building mine up under the impression that she would work with Raiden. I mean after all it made the most sense. And it irritates me when I see people defend Mihoyo saying that it would be hard to fix or things of that sort as if they aren't perfectly capable of making the interaction work. As you said, this isn't some small company. This is a billion dollar company like cmon.
I would prefer that MiHoYo fix Yoimiya, she got serious problems
Baal+Beidou was literally the comp I looked forward to the most, this pre-release nerf should really be changed. Part of me also worries about the Emblem set interaction or them nerfing her to make her not work with anything XD, but yeah, this really needs to change and she should proc all on-hit effects (also please please pleaaaase, eye of stormy judgement needs to hit shielded enemies that we attack, not doing this not only weakens her damage but also makes her absolute trash at breaking shields, which is terrible)
I don't like having more than one of the same elemental types on my deployed team at a time, so I didn't understand having Beidou paired with Raiden on the same deployed team.
Having a tank, healer, DPS guru, and elemetal support is typically how i balance my teams.
I've found having Yanfei, Raiden, and Noelle on the same deployed team makws for really devastating results. Having an additional cryo helps with that.
Hey guys play fate
I only want them to fix the Beidou interaction fixed, a little buff overall to electro, and make the damage from her E noticeable.
I do NOT want her to become broken like Ganyu. I purposefully avoid characters that rofl stomp all content in the game.
Great points. You are my go-to source for Genshin info.
Any plans to do an Aloy guide?
And this is why you wait a day or two before pulling.
the only electro character that needs an electro buff is keqing
I got Baal C1 and was so excited to use beidou w her on my team, until I found out they don’t even work together so I ended up removing beidou, it’s so stupid :/
Thank you so much, I 100% agree with you, was so looking forward to Baal Beidou, now she is only rly good in Eula and usable in National comp.
I really don't want this issue to be forgotten, cause there is literally no reason against Baal Beidou. Worked on the beta servers, intentionally removed afterwards, with a patch note rdy to hit on minute 1 after release by Mihoyo.
I thought he made a Raiden pun on 0:33 but then realized he didn't…
big sad
Would be cool if they did it coz then I would have only been shafted once not twice (I pulled for Yoimiya since she looked cool and carefree). But it's alright when did companies ever give a shit about their customers after getting big it's all about the stock holders and getting the quarterly reports to become bigger and bigger
Imagine just not waiting a few days before wishing for someone.
Her c6 has nothing to do with anything, and people saying she must work with beidou are complainers get over it, bet Yae Miko works great with her probably having an 80 burst cost too. Maybe people should wait until content creators (who pretty much get paid to pull) to check characters before they spend their money. You don't need a new character the second they release.
IMHO, they shouldn't change Raiden Elemental Burst, they should just change Beidou Elemental Burst to activate like Xingqiu : on normal, charge or plunge attack, even if it does not "hit" anything.
This would be a little buff for Beidou that won't make her OP and would make it work with Raiden.
Hi! I am from Russia, and recently a wave of discontent has risen in the community regarding Ei, and their position regarding it is reduced only to insults. I had to unsubscribe from many Russian-speaking bloggers, because they repeated the same thing on the wave of hype, like Ei is damn weak, that this is pumping money for constellations. Perhaps this is partly true, but I like her so much as a character, as a part of the story, that I just don't have the strength to listen to such a thing. Therefore, it was insanely pleasant to listen to a polite person who also showed the strengths of Ei. When Zhongli came out, it was obvious even to ordinary players that he was weak for a 5* character, but here the situation is different… Let's hope that Ei will take a worthy place in the game.
They have done this before, remember the Amos bow description during the ganyu banner? And that actually lasted for weeks before they fixed it, I love Genshin but this happening more than once after people spent a lot of money is really sketchy on miHoYo’s part. They should be held accountable.
so uhh… this video is totally irrelevant for people who don't build beido right?
I'm just happy he didn't call her Baal
I feel a lot was left out of this video. Most people do agree that she's fine but she definitely needs better synergy with other characters, not just Bediou. What most people are actually saying about her was that the story for 2.1 was bad.
I thought mihoyo might be different than tencent and EA. 😐 Pay $ to unlock dmg
If anyone saw the leaks for 2.1 Raiden was getting buffed while kokomi was nerfed to hell.
I was initially going for kokomi coz healer + hydro (prime element) + aesthetic. I had 7k saved plus guarantee. Then the leaks changed my mind and i pulled Raiden. Drowning in regret
Although she is fun to play but the fiasco is disheartening
It isn't even that big of a deal that she can't work with beidou. I understand people's frustrations, but I personally don't think its that big of a deal that ONE character of what, 40-50 in the game can't work with ONE other character. They'll probably "fix" it, which I wouldn't mind, but I don't mind if they don't. Sorry if anyone disagrees with me.
