⚡ At a Glance

Raiden Shogun is a Tier S unit — an electro sub-dps. Best team: Raiden National. Best F2P team: Raiden + Xiangling + Xingqiu + Bennett.

Team Strategy Notes

Raiden National (Raiden + Xiangling + Xingqiu + Bennett) works because of a perfect energy cycle. Xiangling needs 200% ER, Xingqiu needs 180% but Raidens burst refunds 22.5 energy to everyone. The key rotation order is: Raiden E -> Xingqiu Q+E -> Bennett Q+E -> Xiangling E+Q -> Raiden Q. Never use Raidens burst first. A common mistake is panic-swapping before Raidens burst finishes - her full combo heals the team and provides maximum energy refund.
