In the co-op anime RPG Genshin Impact, there are a variety of playable characters that you can unlock throughout your adventure. Today we introduce you to the Electro User Raiden Shogun.
How to get new characters: From player level 5 you unlock the possibility to get new characters through the “Prayers”. The so-called Gacha system allows you to purchase the prayers in exchange for “Predetermined Fate” or “Interwoven Fate”, which you can either obtain in the shop or sometimes in the game itself. You then have a small chance of getting one of the coveted characters in the loot boxes.

- Charged Attack: Consumes an amount of Stamina to perform an upward slash.
- Leap Attack: Plunges to the ground, hitting enemies in its path and dealing AoE damage on impact with the ground.
- Baleful Omen Elemental Ability: Summons an eye over her head that deals electric damage to enemies within range and grants characters the Eye of Stormy Judgment buff. This causes:
- When characters with this buff deal damage, a coordinated Electric AoE attack is launched at the opponent’s location.
- Over the course of the buff, characters’ special abilities are boosted based on energy costs.
- Special ability “Musou Isshin”: The strength of the ability is influenced by the special abilities of the other players. Whenever someone uses their ability, Raiden gains a buff that stacks up to 60 times. Activating your ability consumes those stacks. The more collected, the stronger the first attack. To do this, she summons an electric sword, dealing electric damage with each type of attack for the duration of the ability. Each time you deal damage, party members’ energy is regenerated.
- Passive Talent 1 “Wishes Unnumbered”: When nearby characters collect Element Orbs or Particles, she gets 2 stacks.
- Passive Talent 2 “Enlightened One”: Every 1% above 100% Energy she gains increases Musou Isshin’s Energy Recovery by 0.6% and gives a 0.4% Electro damage bonus.
- Handy passive talent “All-Preserver”: The cost of Mora when leveling up spears and swords is reduced by 50%.
