Genshin Impact has finally released official information about Raiden Shogun! The Raiden Shogun is the awesome and terrible power of thunder incarnate, the exalted ruler of the Inazuma Shogunate. With the might of lightning at her disposal, she commits herself to the solitary pursuit of eternity.
Get to know Raiden Shogun, her skills, and her stories:
Raiden Shogun – Plane of Euthymia
- Weapon: Polearm
- Affiliation: Inazuma City
- Constellation: Imperatrix Umbrosa
- Gnosis: Electro
Raiden Shogun is a support character who can enhance her party’s Elemental Burst Damage.
With her Elemental Skill, she can increase the Elemental Burst Damage of all party members and trigger coordinated attacks. After unleashing an Elemental Burst, the Raiden Shogun will wield her tachi in battle for a short duration and restore the Elemental Energy of all party members.
Raiden Shogun Talents
Origin – Normal Attack
Normal Attack: Perform up to 5 consecutive spear strikes.
Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to perform an upward slash.
Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE Damage upon impact.
Trascendence: Baleful Omen – Elemental Skill
The Raiden Shogun unveils a shard of her Euthymia, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents, and granting nearby party members the Eye of Stormy Judgment.
Eye of Stormy Judgment
- When characters with this buff attack and deal DMG to opponents, the Eye will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG at the opponent’s position.
- Characters who gain the Eye of Stormy Judgment will have their Elemental Burst DMG increased based on the Energy Cost of the Elemental Burst during the Eye’s duration.
- The Eye can initiate one coordinated attack every 0.9 seconds per party.
- Coordinated attacks generated by characters not controlled by you deal 20% of the normal DMG.
Chakra Desiderata – Effect
When nearby party members (excluding the Raiden Shogun herself) use their Elemental Bursts, the Raiden Shogun will build up Resolve stacks based on the Energy Cost of these Elemental Bursts.
The maximum number of Resolve stacks is 60. The Resolve gained by Chakra Desiderata will be cleared 300s after the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.
After unlocking the Passive Talent “Wishes Unnumbered,” when nearby party members gain Elemental Orbs or Particles, Chakra Desiderata gains 2 Resolve stacks.
This effect can occur once every 3 seconds.
Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu – Elemental Burst
Gathering truths unnumbered and wishes uncounted, the Raiden Shogun unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi and deals AoE Electro DMG, using Musou Isshin in combat for a certain duration afterward. The DMG dealt by Musou no Hitotachi and Musou Isshin’s attacks will be increased based on the number of Chakra Desiderata’s Resolve stacks consumed when this skill is used.
Musou Isshin
- While in this state, the Raiden Shogun will wield her tachi in battle, while her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be infused with Electro DMG, which cannot be overridden. When such attacks hit opponents, she will regenerate Energy for all nearby party members. Energy can be restored this way once every 1 second, and this effect can be triggered 5 times throughout this skill’s duration.
- While in this state, the Raiden Shogun’s resistance to interruption is increased, and she is immune to Electro-Charged reaction DMG.
- While Musou Isshin is active, the Raiden Shogun’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will be considered Elemental Burst DMG.
- The effects of Musou Isshin will be cleared when the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.
Raiden Shogun Story
Her Excellency, the Almight Narukami Ogosho, who promised the people of Inazuma an unchanging Eternity.
Since the dawn of life, humankind has always borne an intense yearning for and curiosity about the world. This is the anchor point of their cognition and is the foundation of all reason. The world of the people of Inazuma is also thus. There, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain were primordial facts of life, as well as light, and the sea… and the Raiden Shogun.
Babes nestling in their mothers’ arms hear tales of the Shogun’s slaying of many gods and conquering of other races.
When young men and women roam the isladns, they see the gorge split asunder by a blade of lightning and the pale, still-standing bones of the giant smake.
Soldiers take to the battlefield with “glory to the Shogun and her everlasting reign!” upon their lips.
The people work in contentment and peace, knowing that the Shogun and her loyal Tri-Commission are there.
The great name of the Raiden Shogun has long shaken off the shackles of mere life, becoming the eternal traditional belief of Inazuma.
People trust in this great name and its might, believing that their descendants shall witness the same sights, that the same faith will form the foundations of their inner worlds, and that this will pass on from generation to generation.
This is the eternal paradise that the Almighty Shogun promised her people.

Hello
No salutations needed. My exalted status shall not be disclosed as we travel among the common folk. I acknowledge that you are a person of superior ability. Henceforth, you will be my guard. Worry not. Should any danger arise, I shall dispose it.
On a Clear Day
Clear skies can do nothing to hide the brilliance of lightning. Divine bolts can strike even in the absence of rain. Do you see that tree? Wait… you understand? So… demonstrations is not required? Good.

The world remains constant over the centuries. But the human life is like the dew at dawn or a bubble rising through water. Transitory.

About the Raiden Shogun: Transience
Thunder’s roar and lightning’s flash. So ephemeral. This is why reaching Eternity is desirable. …Actually this is why reaching Eternity is necessary.
The Raiden Shogun’s Hobbies
