Why This Build Works

Razor is a selfish Physical hypercarry: 4pc Pale Flame gives +25% Physical DMG and stacks up to +50% Physical on Skill hits; his Burst (Lightning Fang) infuses Electro on NAs and boosts Attack SPD. His Hungers passive gives +30% ER below 50% energy. Needs Superconduct (Cryo) to shred Physical RES.

Key Stat Threshold

4pc Pale Flame; Physical DMG goblet; ~140-160% ER for Burst uptime; aim 65% CR / 130% CD. Wolf's Gravestone or Song of Broken Pines, F2P Serpent Spine/Prototype Archaic.

Current Meta Status

Tier A as a free starter Physical DPS but powercrept in 5.x/6.x by dedicated 5-star carries; his single-target still holds in low-investment accounts. An Aggravate (EM) variant is a niche alternative.

Entry vs Endgame Build

Optimize substats for perfect ratio. Sacrifice HP/DEF for more offensive stats.

Summary: Is Razor Worth Building?

Razor is a strong early-game Physical DPS. With the right investment, Razor performs at a 6.5/10 level in current content.

When NOT to use this character

Burst disables Charged Attacks and self-infuses Electro, so he cannot trigger most reactions himself; struggles vs hard elemental shields; outclassed by Eula/Clorinde/Arlecchino as Physical on-field.

Community Controversy

Pale Flame 4pc vs 2pc Pale Flame + 2pc Bloodstained (unconditional +50% Phys) vs Gladiator's; and Physical Razor vs Aggravate/EM-build Razor debates.

In-Depth Guide

Razor is the wolf boy, a Physical claymore carry whose kit is built entirely around his Electro-infused burst mode. His skill (Claw and Thunder) on press deals Electro and generates particles; on hold (Lightning Fang) he summons the Wolf Within, which boosts his Electro, reduces nearby enemy DEF, and gives him energy. His burst (Lightning Fang) flips him into an Electro state that greatly increases his attack speed and interruption resistance - this is his damage window. Because his field buffs Electro and shreds DEF, he pairs naturally with Electro batteries like Fischl and Beidou, plus a Cryo unit for Superconduct to cut Physical RES, and Bennett for ATK. His fourth ascension passive reduces his skill cooldown when he takes damage, which rewards aggressive play. Build him for Physical: ATK% Sands, Physical DMG Goblet, CRIT Circlet, with 4pc Pale Flame for skill-scaling or 2pc Pale Flame plus 2pc Bloodstained Chivalry. Energy needs are moderate because his burst is self-sustaining. Wolf's Gravestone is his best weapon, with Serpent Spine, Song of Broken Pines and R5 Snow-Tombed Starsilver as strong budget picks. Where he struggles: he is a selfish on-field carry with no off-field value, his Electro state can interfere with reactions if you are not careful, and he is outclassed by newer Physical units like Eula and Freminet at high investment. As a free starter DPS, though, he remains a solid farmer.
