EDIT 4: my new personal ranking for raiden's best teams after lots of testing are: 1) Raiden/Chev/Bennet/Xiangling. Can replace sara for bennet if C6, not sure which is better yet. If Chev isn't C6 then it's a sidegrade to national IMO. 2)Raiden/Furina/Yelan/xianyun with jean being a worse but still great option. 3) national 4) traditional hyper (but this is the best option if you need grouping) I think one of raiden's best features nowadays is that her top teams require completely different sets of supports, making her extremely versatile. In addition to easily working both in AOE and in single target. Sinkcho. EDIT 3: chev is a great option for her. Did lots of testing and it feels great. Check out her guide. EDIT 2: for speedrunning, national and Sara are still often used for raiden because of the front load being very valuable and getting better speedrun times. for extended rotations or more casual players, double hydro furina at least for me in practice feels much much stronger. As well as gcsim calcs also being higher. EDIT: to the people saying she’s not “top tier DPS”-- she sheets VERY well with Yelan Furina Jean. Especially if you give her a decent weapon. Add that to the QOL that she gives as a unit and she absolutely is a top tier DPS. Although you may disagree this is far from misinformation. I will alter the title though because I think this communicates the same message while also not being quite as rage baity lol
Don’t cave to Genshin community being nasty, state your opinions as you see fit, the majority of people watching are here to get your opinion, not to try to correct you. And in this case they’re wrong.
I started in 4.2 and just fell in love with raidens character. I was so hyped to know that raiden was coming so soon. Now Im guaranteed her with 180 wishes.
Good luck to both of you, so you can get her early! I’ll go for her signature weapon this time. 😃 Raiden truly is a strong charakter. C0 she carries me through abyss every rotation. The weapon will be for the drip only 😅
A long time coming from the man himself, guides by mains are always a treat to have so I'm quite looking forward to it, also gl everyone, including me for your Raiden and Yoimiya pulls
18:15 You should definitely crown her normals in order to demonstrate your devotion to Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, God of Thunder. Kujou Sara will arrest you if you don't.
Came here after pulling C0 Raiden on 5.0 and then accidentally getting her weapon while going to Kinich's weapon. This is suuuuper helpful on how to build her!
Furina is such a premium character, that I'm noticing a lot of TCs basically slap her into any team with a carry and say the numbers are great. Which is 100% true, but I only have one Furina so it's becoming hard to really understand the underlying strength of a given character without using Furina.
Raiden was fine even before Furina. Plus, only the dps characters that work fine without great supports is Neuvillette and maybe Althaitham, but they still work best with good supports like Kazuha for Neuvilette and Nahida for Alhaitham. Hu Tao for example uses the same team as this one being showcased. Neuvilette really seems to have skewed what people view as a good dps...
@@wellwellwell881 I never use Kazuha with Neuvillette, and i still clear the abyss even without an single buffer, idem for Alhaitham with Yaoyao. Raiden is good c0 as dps, but even without Furina, Kazuha, Bennet or Sara?
@@user-om3uy3bx9k you're saying you use Neuvillette and Alhaitham without Furina Kazuha or Bennet? Before Furina I used Raiden yelan jean and a flex and did fine, but you're not a top tier DPS if you're not using supports.
I skipped so many banners to get her C2 + weapon on her release. No regrets. Still my queen to this day. Whichever side she's on is always the easy/fast Abyss clear.
@@banir3736 wdym? Beidou's burst doesn't proc while raiden's burst is active since it's considered elemental burst dmg Beidou only procs on normal atks
This was very informative! Loved the rotation tips and explaining which stats have diminishing returns on which builds! I don't often see that info in guides
You inspired me to go back on my account and buff my characters. I just came back to the game after a long break and found I had a Jade Winged Spear I never touched! I put that on my Raiden thanks to your advice and wow! It made a huge improvement over The Catch! Now that can go to my Xiangling. Thanks!!
New to the game, we (my 10 yo daughter & I) are simping so badly for her that these next 7 days will feel like the longest!! Thanx so much for the guide with many many tips to help enjoy Ei. So eager to try them out!!!
My fav ones in order of best to worst as well as almost all "mistranslations" : Sinkcho, Shengling, Yaimiko, Novolet/Novelette, Yolan, Yula, Baju, Hutau, Tainari, Kazuo, Farina. Special mention to "Ahaithim" = I hate him (Kaveh) Cannot wait for your new guides on future characters : Chevris/Sheverest and Klarand (button-kun)
Raiden is my first 5 start AND the most favourite character in the game who i will absolutely love regardless new characters. Sometimes i forget how cool she is but do get constantly reminded about it.
Great video. I stumbled upon this channel during the Ayato banner. I was curious since Im an Ayato main and was pleasantly surprised at the multitude of team building ideas I havent tried yet. Definitely gonna try out some of these Raiden teams. Way too many sweaty gamers get hung up on meta, they forget theres other ways to enjoy the game. Keep up the good work, tons of info and helpful tips from this creator. 👍 To the meta slaves, try something new once in a while. You might enjoy it.
5:00 enters Cloud retainer I currently have 245 wishes for Ei with 50 pity and no guarantee, I lost 50/50 on Ei v3.3 and then i got Hu tao and after that I won 3 50/50s in a row (Cyno-49, Yae-78, Yoi-31) Well good luck to everyone for 4.3 Ei❤
I haven't played the game since march last year, logged in today and spent my last 22 wishes on her banner an got Raiden and Kujou... it's almost like the game wants me to come back or something.
@@EchoOfOlympus true but guess what I got c3 ei Basically I lost 50/50 and got Jean then i got my guaranteed Ei c0 and then i got c1 and c2, the next day my friend told me to wish cz i will get c3 so i did and on 81 pity i won my third 50/50 in a row again which was C3 ei So from Jean c1 to Ei c3 it makes 247 wishes spent I also have posted a video on ny channel on me wishing, you may check it out
Been playing Genshin for 2 weeks now and have been watching guides like crazy to catch up on knowledge. This was a great guide was very easy to understand everything
People really really really undersell C0 Raiden, especially compared to newer DPS. I've been using her to 36 star abyss almost every cycle for probably over a year at this point. Great single target damage with very decent AoE, pretty flexible teambuilding at this point, and works great with 4 star characters and f2p weapons as well. Also much easier to build on artifacts than some of the newer DPS since her BiS set is in strongbox and a lot of her good teammates also use it.
Could you possibly list a bunch of teams with her that work well? I want to pull for her because she's cool, but I don't yet have Nahida, Furina or Kazuha, I'm not sure if I could use her well. I only have a couple five star characters and characters like Xingqiu, Bennet, Xiangling are very important so I don't know if my second team would be strong if I used up too many of these.
@@sharkonstage for sure. Bennett/Xiangling/Xingqiu ("National"): very good in boss content, very easy to play Bennett/Kazuha (can probably sub Chevreuse)/Fischl or Sara or Xingqiu or flex slot: "Hyper", good damage overall, solid in single target and grouping especially with an anemo grouper. If using Chevreuse make sure to only use Pyro and Electro units; she doesn't offer Kazuha's grouping but is otherwise a reasonable substitute. Xingqiu or Yelan/Furina/Jean: extremely high single target damage, very comfy with Xingqiu, less demanding setups than National I'm less familiar with her aggravate teams but I imagine something like DMC/Fischl/flex would be good. Of course you can also use her full EM as a hyperbloom trigger, which is very strong. Basically Raiden/Any Dendro/Any Hydro (as long as at least one of the two is off-field)/Flex slot. Xingqiu or Yelan/DMC/Raiden or Kuki is a great single target team in almost any content, especially if all your teams are at a lower level of investment (artifact quality, talent level, presence of five star weapons and constellations, etc.) She doesn't require any other specific units to be good but it may be an issue if you lack too many of the good options. With the units you're missing I would bet that Bennett/Chevreuse/Xiangling or maybe another Pyro/Electro unit is probably going to be the best non-hyperbloom option.
@@StanTheWoz wow, thank you so much for this. I pulled for her and my goal is going to be getting Nahida or building dendro traveler then. For now I'll try using her off field with my other characters or I'll try national. Thank you
she was my very first archon, and i couldn't be happier about it, her and zhongli are almost always in my strongests teams, one bring immortality the other brings damage by herself and improves damage for everyone else on the team
Great content and explanations. I do wish you would put the rotation advice on screen as opposed to just clicking into each character, I believe it would help viewers follow the explanation. Great video nevertheless :)
13:55 Kujosaur Thank you so much for this video. This new team you displayed is EXACTLY what fixes my account. Even if it seems like hyperbole. Also the guys shittalking you seem to be only two guys. He posted twice and the guy supported him twice. I wouldn't worry about it. Thank you so much.
One thing I think many people take for granted is her battery capabilities. Back when I got her in 2.1, after 2 weeks of building her, Rational carried me through abyss 12 even though my team artifacts was really mid and low cons and 4* weap on all unit, my xingqiu was c1( with r1 sac) xangling was c2(the catch), bennett(the prototype sword) was c3 and I didn’t have the resource to optimize their artifacts for ER substats but suprising with Raiden I rarely find ER issues and also got me through the Dps check of the PMA.
@@dav6580 fav lance r1 since it was the only other polearm I leveled, I figured that since my Raiden had the most crit rate and was onfield the majority of the time so she could make better use of it than Xiangling and it worked suprisingly well.
Clear times aren't everything, and in fact the longer I play this game the less interested I am in fast clear times. As long as a team clears floor 12 with 9 stars, anything faster literally doesn't matter. Jello mentioned many of the benefits of the Furina/Yelan/Jean team in the video, such as the lack of circle impact (standing in Jean's circle is irrelevant and can be ignored completely), and not getting one-shot reacted out of existence when standing in Benny circle. Furina also does significant damage on skill, which can allow you to finish off a wave or a chamber and hold on to your bursts so you don't need to spend a ton of time batterying the team. All of these practical benefits make the Furina team MUCH more fun to play than national imo, and I am more than happy to clear a few seconds slower in exchange for a smoother gameplay experience.
Raiden is the only non standard five star I gave constellations to. If you don't have her, get her. If you like her, get her C2. If you love her, get her weapon. It's that easy. She is an archon. Naturally she is a fantastic character.
Honestly I was going to run her on a tighnari quicken team because her application is good, her burst fills the downtime during Tighnari's skill cooldowns, and Yaoyao and Sucrose are having ER issues. Also, all that ER into elemental damage bonus, further buffing her quickens sounds quite nice.
She does work perfectly with tignari, I duo clear abyss with those two , tignari with wanderers troop set , raiden with a good deepwood set , you good to go
I've had raiden since her last banner, read the descriptions, I've watched/listened to this video twice before, and I'm only just finding out that her skill boosts the damage of teammate's bursts. I REALLY got to start paying more attention
I’ve had Raiden since her release and have been using her ever since! I won my 50/50 during the recent 4.3 rerun and she finally C1! Because I have to save for my first copy of Nahida, I have to wait until her Raiden’s next rerun to get her C2! All in the name of eternity
"sword wielding lightning menace"... i love that description of her i got her recently (won 50/50 :D) and i just went here because your videos are very easy to understand. i want her mostly as off field damage dealer, but her flexibility is definitely her main draw in my eyes. the fact that she does well as off field or on field damage dealer is definitely an attractive prospect. i'll build her mostly for hyperbloom, but she's definitely one of those units where having multiple builds for different occasions is worth the trouble. except if i can build her as a dps and get tons of em anyway, because i've had times when all artifact substat roll into EM which is definitely a win in her case.
I was planning to C2 Raiden and grab her weapon this banner, but with Cloud Retainer coming and Shenhe potentially having a banner soon after Cloud Retainer's, my plans are potentially changing. Shenhe is the main character I don't have who I've wanted for a while now, and I also want Cloud Retainer. I've had Yelan for a while now and use her all the time with Raiden, and I got a lucky Furina pull when I was restocking my Paimon's Bargains funds, and Cloud Retainer would fill the Jean role on the team, so I guess I have a combination of characters to use that makes C2R1 Raiden kinda overkill. But then overkill can be really fun! But I guess for now my current plan is to use Raiden's banner to restock my Paimon's Bargains funds again and see if I get any lucky pulls then wait til closer to the end of the banner when I have more information about upcoming banners to make a more informed decision about what to do. I suppose there's also the option of going kinda no life for a while and grinding the immense amount of available primogems I've never bothered to collect in the game to try and grab everything. Like, I've barely done any of the character quests or miscellaneous quests or domains or challenges or gone out of my way to look for chests. Just putting in some minimal effort today I collected a full 1,600 primogems in like a couple of hours. At the very least I'll definitely wait and see where I stand towards the end of Raiden's banner.
That first team you mentioned (Ei, Furina, Yelan, Jean), i tried and works really well. (even though i just put some random artifacts on Jean as i wasn't using her for years...) Good Job!!
Great guide but what I really need are all the figures on the shelf behind him!! But I just got Raiden yesterday and switched her to EM to try her out with nahida, furina, and zhongli and it was crazy cause you really could just activate everyone's skill and just leave it alone for a while I cant wait to try the first team comp tho cause I didn't farm a main dps build for nothing lol Once again, great guide!!
Nahida is predicted to be released in 4.4 and since she is such a valuable pull, I am choosing to save my wishes to guarantee a copy of Nahida. I might pull for Raiden on my main, but I want Nahida on my alt account first before pulling for the Almight Raiden Shogun.
I'm basically at pity for guaranteed Raiden so should get her with maybe 10 pulls and I have 230 wishes which I'll keep above 180 for Nahida... been waiting for a while 😅
My C6 Kuki helps me out beautifully with Hyperbloom so I thought I could skip Raiden but now I'm tempted to pull for her especially since she's an archon and to complete my Tall Badass Women collection 😂 (Yelan, Beidou, Raiden, Ninnguang)
My best advice would be to make yourself a list of "priority characters", according to the characters you love the most, the ones you feel like they'd improve your account, or if it's too hard with those criterias those you'd regret the most if you didn't pull them. It's important to think on the long run when it's possible, so you won't be in a tight spot when a beloved character comes. 😊
If you want her go for her if not don’t, never pull a character you don’t love or like. That being said raiden has so many more uses than as a hyper bloom e bot. You have her hyper carry her rational team as well. Raiden is an amazing battery and has extremely high burst damage that makes her better with investment and at c2 and c3 she deletes everything I’ve gotten a 612k initial slash and 115k charged attacks with her. Damage wise she’s as good as they come and she’s will battery your team and increase burst damage based on energy cost which those are her best features. You miss out on those features in a hyperbloom where you don’t use her burst.
Pretty sure that with C2 she blows hyperbloom out of the water in her typical skill bot role teams, like, even at C0 she is close to them as far as I can tell, it's just that the investment is much easier on hyperbloom, but optimized C2 should clear it with no problem unless you got C2 Nahida or whatever nonsense hyperbloom can be.
nah, i have an extremely invested c2 hyper carry raiden (with jade wing spear, no signature yet) and a c0 nahida on a hyperbloom team with extremely low investment, with nahida not even having all the correct main stats on her artifacts (literally spend 2 days worth of resin on nahida's artifact domain when she released and just went with whatever i got)... and my nahida team beats out my raiden hyper carry team by a bit, not a ton, but its very noticeable. i feel like people, and especially theory crafters just love to downplay hyperbloom now for some reason, but it just slaps other high investment options out of the water. that all said, my koujo sara is only c5, and so once i get c6 i think the classical hyper raiden team will just barely take the edge, but if i put literally any amount of investment in my hyperbloom team, its going to shoot back ahead. maybe if i then got raiden's weapon it might get closer, but i still think hyperbloom will still be quite a bit ahead. not sure how the teams in the video play out compared, but i highly doubt its super far ahead of hyperbloom like you say. oh and i should mention, i'm comparing a hyperbloom team with fischl as the electro trigger not even kuki, to raiden c2 hyper carry here... if i used raiden as the hyperbloom trigger... holy crap feel like there would be no contest. Edit: my main abyss teams were raiden and nahida, up until furina and nuv... even with low investment they very easily jumped ahead of both my hyper carry raiden, and my hyperbloom nahida team... and so when deciding to cut a team to be replaced in abyss, i cut the weaker one, so now i run two low investment teams, and my most invested, hyper carry raiden team, is benched which sucks... but i very much do not recommend people pull constellations for characters that require literally 2 years of farming artifacts to be weaker then another character at c0 with 2 days of farming artifacts. if you were unlucky enough to pull for c2 raiden, just use her as a hyperbloom bot, she will do more damage easier.
@@xXzman9000XxI wouldn’t necessarily call someone “unlucky” for having pulled a C2 Raiden as in most people who pulling Raiden are well aware of that spike it gives. Or better yet, the level of investment, albeit not as expensive as most but still up there, needed to make her a then competitive dps. Unless people are, idk, farming pity, which would be crazy, right?
@@xXzman9000Xx Sorry but you made this the fuck up. If hyper bloom was remotely beating C2 Raiden it would show up in speedruns a lot more than C2 Raiden.
@@azureaurelia5381 i'm not making anything up, this is just my own experience with using the various teams against abyss and weekly bosses. the damage of hyperbloom is just better and comes way easier. again i have to state its without c6 sara, and not raiden's signature, but is very much c2 raiden... so i know there is room for improvement, and i imagine i could surpass by hyperbloom team with those two, but the level of investment required is stupid... i'm f2p and pulled c2 raiden cause i liked her playstyle, no one is more disappointed i benched her then me... maybe my raiden's crit stats aren't the best? 2 years of farming and i run 80-150cv... obviously could be better, but again we are talking 2 years of farming, versus 2 days of farming, not ideal main stats, and a electro trigger with off set em pieces...
Ok let's make one thing very clear. Her on-field playstyle is her 1st playstyle. It is as she is designed, it works to all her strengths. Her Hyperbloom playstyle is her 2nd. It only uses 1 small part of her kit, and nothing else. It is heresy of the highest order. So in the end, there are Raiden players and there are Heretics.
The sheets you are looking at for information has to be wrong my dude... Yelan, Raiden, Furina, and Jean is far from her BiS team. As someone who has mained her since she came out and play her both on my own C6 account and my GF's account with C0 I can conclude that this info is completely wrong through a bunch of testing myself (yes, both of these accounts have all the aforementioned characters). This team does not beat out hyper carry Raiden damage, and it can barely beat Raiden national in certain situations. So please release your sheets of information and do some more testing yourself.
You also talked about other weapons beating out her signature, this is wrong as it is much better to change around her artifacts for an attack% sands, and since you are running Furina possibly attack% goblet as well. One of the reasons I personally dont feel too great about using Furina and Raiden is because of diminishing value of elemental damage. This is clearly seen when comparing this team to a hyper carry team (Raiden, Bennett, Sara, Kazuha).
C2 Raiden haver here, no Engulfing tho (only primordial), she's gotta be my most used character in the entirety of my playing genshin since first week Edit: I wish I could use two of her, 1 for each team for abyss. Seriously
@@chonkhampter overload reaction is not too good even after the boost and chevy's damage potential is too low so she cant be sub dps. Raiden is just like ayato now, jack of all trades but master of none.
@@the_knave01 and thats the exact kind of characters people who play on c0 should pull... that was the whole point of the video. she gets outshined, but not easily.
@@the_knave01 bruh you know chevys cons right? C0 raiden with Hypercarry team can put 300k initial slash and with the next 7 seconds she can put 600k-700k easily per rotation. Chevys gonna 40% electro/Pyro res shred and at c6 60% electro/Pyro damage bonus is gonna definitely increase her dps. I have C2 Raiden with R5 catch with Hypercarry. 500k-600k initial slash without food buffs and almost 1.5mil per rotation. Idk what's to cry about and I am f2p. You gotta build her properly that's it. And her energy recharge restores the entire teams energy. So never run out of energy and get the burst up within the cooldown everytime. Infinite rotations.
@@chonkhampter well if you have c2 then she's obviously the best and irreplaceable. Personally, my c6 fischl does kore damage and c6 kuki is better for hyperbloom and yes i do have a c0 raiden who doesn't get picked beside certain abyss and only in that good old national team
She is strongest character in whole game, But we often say she is good character 😂.....just to be safe from Raiden haters... They will surely come here too..and explain me that ( i am not raiden hater but she is not that strong 😂)... And yeah , i already predicted that, so it maybe possible they didnt comment.... In the end : Victory is mine 😏😎. And yeah , Raiden lover always know raiden is strongest...some say on people face like me, some will kept themselve away from debate...😂 Yeah, i know , Thats a genius play.. Already predicted your appreciation so : Thanks . And some people maybe just comment singoe word like (idot, naive, bastard, or maybe worse) And yeah i predicted that too...😂😂😂

@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I make my Raiden... Like she deal 83k on CO... But yeah now I have her C6 and R5, so I easily do one shot kill every weekly bosses... 😂😂😂 She is strongest.. Only broke people can't afford to make her strong... Weak Owner, weak character.. Strong owner Strong Character.
@@SlimeImpact. lol p2w for losers with skill issue hutao at c0 does 130k per hit x8 + 250k burst if u know how to actually build chars 83k on raiden weak as shit like you noob
@@SlimeImpact. i wouldn't use strong to describe someone who spends a ton of money on a character to make her op when cheaper options out perform her. Tho i've never understood the obsession with spending money to trivialize a game that's not very hard to begin with.
I will get her this time around, every time she had a a rerun, i had for whatever reason no Primos and no intention of spending. But this time I have everything for C2R1 and she will be the Triple Crowned Monster she deserves to be.
At this point you should show gcsims, spreadsheets or demonstrate speedruns. You can't just keep repeating the lie that C0 Raiden is top tier with no data to back it up. In reality she's very mediocre and below almost any other on field dps released since her. These type of videos influences people's spending on a gacha game and those people are going to be disappointed.
@@JelloImpact Raiden premium is 5 gold team, right? its DPR is 1.67 million with 71k DPS at c2, that is worse than navia. In that same element, cyno's premium 5 gold team DPS is 78k with a DPR of 2.08 million. i would love to be proven wrong, but with the same amount of character investement cyno outperforms raiden by a big margin. they both have premium teams, so can't say cyno is expensive.
@@JelloImpactand just switching to Hutao increases that team DPS by 20%. Variants with Kokomi Kazuha, or switching to Xingqiu also have higher team DPS while even better at ER management.
@@God_Reaper_6000 u are looking at sheet dps but thats not the whole picture. The frontloaded nature of raiden hyper is what makes he very good at speedrunning. Look at tart international for example. Anyone who has seen sheets of international will know that it is low but it is a very good low cost speedrun team.
Thanks for making this video! I got raiden when she first came out and loved her, but never invested in her enough to see huge damage. Once i heard people say how good her c2 was, I became really demotivated to ever try and build her because i'd always be running a version of her that's not as good as it could be. But I'm excited to try and build her once I finish building navia and next time furina is on the banner I'll probably be pulling for her! I wasn't playing during Furina so i missed her but i think im going to have to get her eventually!
ty for this great review raiden is amazing and probably the most flexible main dps in this game but i have already neuvillette, alhaitham and ayaka. so, going for nahida and neuvilette c1 makes more sense for me :) btw, love your videos ;)
That Nahida/Yelan/Xingqiu/Shogun team is almost what I'd been maining in the overworld, except one of the Hydro characters was always swapped for Zhongli.
Bro is absolutely right, Raiden is the best, mine is C0R1, and she constantly deals 250k+ from burst and 45k-55k per charge atk while in burst, shes absolutely amazing and great carry Team is Raiden - Sara (C4) - Kazuha - Bennet (C5)
Double Hydro Team with Main HyperCarry Raiden is really a great team. The last slot with Jean just completes the team because she synergies really good with Furina.
tbh i dont use her that much these days but i remember i was so hype to get her back in 2.1 cuz she was very strong and she look like raiden mei from HI3... but anyway i wish you guy good luck pulling her ! my plan is c2 nahida wish me luck !!!!!!
If I may leave some criticism, one I think is constructive, I'd recommend you to NOT have closed captions in your videos when you don't manually write them. 3:04 I'm a Raiden enjoyer, she's the reason I'm still playing as I was close to quitting, not a "Raiden and Jorz". If those came from one of those fancy AI thingies, you might want to double check them before embedding them in your videos. Our eyes are innately attracted to moving things, which means we'll be forced to look at the subtitles. Another thing that's been bothering me for a while are the cuts. Sooooooo many of them; way too many. Not sure what's happening there, but I stopped looking at the videos because of that, and when I finally decide to look because of Raiden, I see cuts and incorrect imbedded subtitles. :c Raiden and Jorz unite! She's NOT mid, not even close, and she's not a Hyperbloom bot. She's one of the best DPS in the game, and I'll defend her till the very end!! edit: Alright, I kept watching, and it doesn't get better... "Farina", Yaimiko, "novelette", "Sinkcho", "Yolan". I stopped looking after these. Okay, just one more: 23:17 "Mariusch to say Hunter" XD Only idiots farm Maréchaaussée Hunter; legends farms Mariusch to say Hunter!
Man.. i still remember her EM Debut with Dendro Traveler back then when Ruin Serpent came back to the abyss... i still have that video in my channel.. She never touched Emblem since then.. no longer an Electro Carry, but a Dendro Carry..
Great video! As a lore accurate Raiden playstyle enjoyer this video gave me hope that she'll finally be seen as a good DPS character... totally not saving for cloud retainer to have more options for her teams, meme or not... nuh uh
I'm using the same team (Raiden, Furina, Yelan, Jean). My Raiden is using Homa so it's perfect having that +HP from Hydro Resonance, i get extra atk from the weapon passive
I think the best take away is that when it comes to the top tier characters - inevitably, they are the support/off-field characters, but when it comes to DPS characters, it comes down to your level of comfort/personal preference. I mostly play for the story, and if I could get all the characters in order to read and unlock all their voicelines, I would, but mostly right now - I just at least want all the Archons. And I have Neuvi but I would probably also collect all available sovereigns if any further come out. (A PLAYABLE APEP?!? :O ) But I just want to be comfy and have fun. I almost always run a shielder and healer anyway due to... uhmm... lack of skill. I enjoy reading the books, doing events, quests and storylines, and reading the minutiae about the characters more than anything combat related. Am planning to do a hyperbloom team with Neuvi, ZL, Raiden, and Nahida and name it 'sovereignty' - for the puns and giggles.
JelloImpact Great video, I watched multiple times! Is there any theory crafting around your hyper-hyperbloom Raiden? I want to use furina with her, and c6 yao yao is my best healer so I feel like there's an opportunity to both on field dps and hyperbloom, but I'm wondering if split investing has been tested? Even if it's a bit worse it's fun, I just hope it's not dramatically worse lol. You talked about a hyper-hyperbloom idea in this vid but i dont recall seeing the build you used for it, maybe for another video?! 😁
@@JelloImpact awesome, thanks for the reply! I'll try to build her with a bit of both stats! I would a full video on it, and perhaps hybrid builds in general
I got Raiden a few days ago and she really is for me that versatile and ez to use! At the moment I’m at AR 35 and she helped me clear Abyss 4 for Colei and clear dragonspine 95% atm. I play her mostly in a team with xiaoqing/ xiangli / Bennett and xiaoqing/ colei (c1)/ sucrose (c1). For the chi of yore quest I made a impromptu team with amber and Rosario for the last flying ruin guard which enabled me to clear that annoying quest. Before her I couldn’t clear the 3 ruin guards in wave 2. she’s still at lvl 40 and outperforms most of the other chars I have dog wise. So much ❤❤❤❤ for her! She’s my second 5* after a quiqui pull, which I didn’t lvl up. Willalso try to lvl my chevreuse later to try that combinatio.
EDIT 4: my new personal ranking for raiden's best teams after lots of testing are:
1) Raiden/Chev/Bennet/Xiangling. Can replace sara for bennet if C6, not sure which is better yet. If Chev isn't C6 then it's a sidegrade to national IMO.
2)Raiden/Furina/Yelan/xianyun with jean being a worse but still great option.
3) national
4) traditional hyper (but this is the best option if you need grouping)
I think one of raiden's best features nowadays is that her top teams require completely different sets of supports, making her extremely versatile. In addition to easily working both in AOE and in single target.
Sinkcho.
EDIT 3: chev is a great option for her. Did lots of testing and it feels great. Check out her guide.
EDIT 2: for speedrunning, national and Sara are still often used for raiden because of the front load being very valuable and getting better speedrun times. for extended rotations or more casual players, double hydro furina at least for me in practice feels much much stronger. As well as gcsim calcs also being higher.
EDIT: to the people saying she’s not “top tier DPS”-- she sheets VERY well with Yelan Furina Jean. Especially if you give her a decent weapon. Add that to the QOL that she gives as a unit and she absolutely is a top tier DPS. Although you may disagree this is far from misinformation. I will alter the title though because I think this communicates the same message while also not being quite as rage baity lol

@@Soapio69alright. Haters gonna hate.
Navia/Raiden/Yelan/Jean is my crack right now
I started at the end 3.4 in February last year, and I've been waiting for Raiden this whole time. I'm so excited to finally get her.
I started in 4.2 and just fell in love with raidens character. I was so hyped to know that raiden was coming so soon. Now Im guaranteed her with 180 wishes.
Good luck to both of you, so you can get her early!
I’ll go for her signature weapon this time. 😃
Raiden truly is a strong charakter. C0 she carries me through abyss every rotation. The weapon will be for the drip only 😅

Yup, I tripled crowned Raiden and got her weapon cause she deserves nothing but the best 🙌🏾😎
Came here after pulling C0 Raiden on 5.0 and then accidentally getting her weapon while going to Kinich's weapon. This is suuuuper helpful on how to build her!
raiden was my first archon and she will always be my most fav regardless of any new character. she deserves her pic on my pfp in genshin
Even yt too ... Booooohhhh
Same here, she was my first 5 star archon
Same and true!
She Is mine 1st archon too
Furina is such a premium character, that I'm noticing a lot of TCs basically slap her into any team with a carry and say the numbers are great. Which is 100% true, but I only have one Furina so it's becoming hard to really understand the underlying strength of a given character without using Furina.
It’s true but raiden is the comfiest and easy to play driver while also having competitive dps which makes it so great
Raiden was fine even before Furina. Plus, only the dps characters that work fine without great supports is Neuvillette and maybe Althaitham, but they still work best with good supports like Kazuha for Neuvilette and Nahida for Alhaitham. Hu Tao for example uses the same team as this one being showcased. Neuvilette really seems to have skewed what people view as a good dps...
@@wellwellwell881 I never use Kazuha with Neuvillette, and i still clear the abyss even without an single buffer, idem for Alhaitham with Yaoyao. Raiden is good c0 as dps, but even without Furina, Kazuha, Bennet or Sara?
@@user-om3uy3bx9k you're saying you use Neuvillette and Alhaitham without Furina Kazuha or Bennet? Before Furina I used Raiden yelan jean and a flex and did fine, but you're not a top tier DPS if you're not using supports.
@@AliagaAyin Yes, so doesn't change my point (still clear the abyss) say "isn't not a good dps" is a little exaggerated.
I skipped so many banners to get her C2 + weapon on her release. No regrets. Still my queen to this day. Whichever side she's on is always the easy/fast Abyss clear.

Great video! I love longer in-depth guides! Getting Raiden is my biggest wish, let's hope she comes home early for us all 🙏💜
My fav ones in order of best to worst as well as almost all "mistranslations" :

you can find the names and write them well, no excuses.
@@bloodmay Good one, but my fav is "your lawn" at 23:31
Raiden is my first 5 start AND the most favourite character in the game who i will absolutely love regardless new characters. Sometimes i forget how cool she is but do get constantly reminded about it.
Great video. I stumbled upon this channel during the Ayato banner. I was curious since Im an Ayato main and was pleasantly surprised at the multitude of team building ideas I havent tried yet. Definitely gonna try out some of these Raiden teams. Way too many sweaty gamers get hung up on meta, they forget theres other ways to enjoy the game. Keep up the good work, tons of info and helpful tips from this creator. 👍
To the meta slaves, try something new once in a while. You might enjoy it.
The interruption resistance is what keeps her top tier imo.
5:00 enters Cloud retainer
I currently have 245 wishes for Ei with 50 pity and no guarantee,
I lost 50/50 on Ei v3.3 and then i got Hu tao and after that I won 3 50/50s in a row (Cyno-49, Yae-78, Yoi-31)
Well good luck to everyone for 4.3 Ei❤
Holly shit you luck is insane
Yeah about cloud retajner being better then jean...sorry buddy im truelly sorry for what nerf she got
I haven't played the game since march last year, logged in today and spent my last 22 wishes on her banner an got Raiden and Kujou... it's almost like the game wants me to come back or something.
@@EchoOfOlympus true but guess what I got c3 ei
Basically I lost 50/50 and got Jean then i got my guaranteed Ei c0 and then i got c1 and c2, the next day my friend told me to wish cz i will get c3 so i did and on 81 pity i won my third 50/50 in a row again which was C3 ei
So from Jean c1 to Ei c3 it makes 247 wishes spent
I also have posted a video on ny channel on me wishing, you may check it out
Been playing Genshin for 2 weeks now and have been watching guides like crazy to catch up on knowledge. This was a great guide was very easy to understand everything
People really really really undersell C0 Raiden, especially compared to newer DPS. I've been using her to 36 star abyss almost every cycle for probably over a year at this point. Great single target damage with very decent AoE, pretty flexible teambuilding at this point, and works great with 4 star characters and f2p weapons as well. Also much easier to build on artifacts than some of the newer DPS since her BiS set is in strongbox and a lot of her good teammates also use it.
Could you possibly list a bunch of teams with her that work well? I want to pull for her because she's cool, but I don't yet have Nahida, Furina or Kazuha, I'm not sure if I could use her well. I only have a couple five star characters and characters like Xingqiu, Bennet, Xiangling are very important so I don't know if my second team would be strong if I used up too many of these.
@@sharkonstage literally just slap her on any team where you need elemental reactions and you're good
@@sharkonstage for sure.
Bennett/Xiangling/Xingqiu ("National"): very good in boss content, very easy to play
Bennett/Kazuha (can probably sub Chevreuse)/Fischl or Sara or Xingqiu or flex slot: "Hyper", good damage overall, solid in single target and grouping especially with an anemo grouper. If using Chevreuse make sure to only use Pyro and Electro units; she doesn't offer Kazuha's grouping but is otherwise a reasonable substitute.
Xingqiu or Yelan/Furina/Jean: extremely high single target damage, very comfy with Xingqiu, less demanding setups than National
I'm less familiar with her aggravate teams but I imagine something like DMC/Fischl/flex would be good.
Of course you can also use her full EM as a hyperbloom trigger, which is very strong. Basically Raiden/Any Dendro/Any Hydro (as long as at least one of the two is off-field)/Flex slot. Xingqiu or Yelan/DMC/Raiden or Kuki is a great single target team in almost any content, especially if all your teams are at a lower level of investment (artifact quality, talent level, presence of five star weapons and constellations, etc.)
She doesn't require any other specific units to be good but it may be an issue if you lack too many of the good options. With the units you're missing I would bet that Bennett/Chevreuse/Xiangling or maybe another Pyro/Electro unit is probably going to be the best non-hyperbloom option.
@@StanTheWoz wow, thank you so much for this. I pulled for her and my goal is going to be getting Nahida or building dendro traveler then. For now I'll try using her off field with my other characters or I'll try national. Thank you
Best transcription error is at 23:31. If you're using all of your Emblem of Severed Fate on "your lawn." :-) Loved the guide, Jello! Thank you!
she was my very first archon, and i couldn't be happier about it, her and zhongli are almost always in my strongests teams, one bring immortality the other brings damage by herself and improves damage for everyone else on the team
I made c3 Raiden w her weapon today, so happy.
Great content and explanations. I do wish you would put the rotation advice on screen as opposed to just clicking into each character, I believe it would help viewers follow the explanation. Great video nevertheless :)
13:55 Kujosaur
Thank you so much for this video. This new team you displayed is EXACTLY what fixes my account. Even if it seems like hyperbole.
Also the guys shittalking you seem to be only two guys. He posted twice and the guy supported him twice. I wouldn't worry about it. Thank you so much.
One thing I think many people take for granted is her battery capabilities. Back when I got her in 2.1, after 2 weeks of building her, Rational carried me through abyss 12 even though my team artifacts was really mid and low cons and 4* weap on all unit, my xingqiu was c1( with r1 sac) xangling was c2(the catch), bennett(the prototype sword) was c3 and I didn’t have the resource to optimize their artifacts for ER substats but suprising with Raiden I rarely find ER issues and also got me through the Dps check of the PMA.
What was on raiden when xiangling had the catch?
@@dav6580 fav lance r1 since it was the only other polearm I leveled, I figured that since my Raiden had the most crit rate and was onfield the majority of the time so she could make better use of it than Xiangling and it worked suprisingly well.
@@bachtuoccht3318 I see thats fair honestly
@dav6580 yeah, and I've also heard and believe is true (for my situation too) that xiangling will do more damage w/ the catch rather than raiden
or get this, build your characters better mind blowing i know.
When she realesed i heard "she basically gives ur team their ults up fast" and thats what i needed
I clear faster with the original raiden national than when I try the new furina yelan jean team
Clear times aren't everything, and in fact the longer I play this game the less interested I am in fast clear times. As long as a team clears floor 12 with 9 stars, anything faster literally doesn't matter.
Jello mentioned many of the benefits of the Furina/Yelan/Jean team in the video, such as the lack of circle impact (standing in Jean's circle is irrelevant and can be ignored completely), and not getting one-shot reacted out of existence when standing in Benny circle. Furina also does significant damage on skill, which can allow you to finish off a wave or a chamber and hold on to your bursts so you don't need to spend a ton of time batterying the team.
All of these practical benefits make the Furina team MUCH more fun to play than national imo, and I am more than happy to clear a few seconds slower in exchange for a smoother gameplay experience.
You mean the Kujou Sara variant?
@@jamiekb9vRaiden taser is a team that gets better with more investment as well.
Just got her, and shes my faivorite now (and Childe) just need a good artifacts.
Raiden is the only non standard five star I gave constellations to. If you don't have her, get her. If you like her, get her C2. If you love her, get her weapon. It's that easy. She is an archon. Naturally she is a fantastic character.
Furina made both Ayaka and Raiden feel so much better in an instant.
Honestly I was going to run her on a tighnari quicken team because her application is good, her burst fills the downtime during Tighnari's skill cooldowns, and Yaoyao and Sucrose are having ER issues. Also, all that ER into elemental damage bonus, further buffing her quickens sounds quite nice.
She does work perfectly with tignari, I duo clear abyss with those two , tignari with wanderers troop set , raiden with a good deepwood set , you good to go
I've had raiden since her last banner, read the descriptions, I've watched/listened to this video twice before, and I'm only just finding out that her skill boosts the damage of teammate's bursts.
I REALLY got to start paying more attention
Nice subtitles, its perfect for people like me who's english is not their first language
I’ve had Raiden since her release and have been using her ever since! I won my 50/50 during the recent 4.3 rerun and she finally C1! Because I have to save for my first copy of Nahida, I have to wait until her Raiden’s next rerun to get her C2! All in the name of eternity
I used Rational to clear the first side of the new abyss. Clean, simple rotations
boring
@@shonenhikada9254 not every one have many 5 star 😐
"sword wielding lightning menace"... i love that description of her
i got her recently (won 50/50 :D) and i just went here because your videos are very easy to understand. i want her mostly as off field damage dealer, but her flexibility is definitely her main draw in my eyes. the fact that she does well as off field or on field damage dealer is definitely an attractive prospect. i'll build her mostly for hyperbloom, but she's definitely one of those units where having multiple builds for different occasions is worth the trouble. except if i can build her as a dps and get tons of em anyway, because i've had times when all artifact substat roll into EM which is definitely a win in her case.
I was planning to C2 Raiden and grab her weapon this banner, but with Cloud Retainer coming and Shenhe potentially having a banner soon after Cloud Retainer's, my plans are potentially changing. Shenhe is the main character I don't have who I've wanted for a while now, and I also want Cloud Retainer. I've had Yelan for a while now and use her all the time with Raiden, and I got a lucky Furina pull when I was restocking my Paimon's Bargains funds, and Cloud Retainer would fill the Jean role on the team, so I guess I have a combination of characters to use that makes C2R1 Raiden kinda overkill. But then overkill can be really fun! But I guess for now my current plan is to use Raiden's banner to restock my Paimon's Bargains funds again and see if I get any lucky pulls then wait til closer to the end of the banner when I have more information about upcoming banners to make a more informed decision about what to do. I suppose there's also the option of going kinda no life for a while and grinding the immense amount of available primogems I've never bothered to collect in the game to try and grab everything. Like, I've barely done any of the character quests or miscellaneous quests or domains or challenges or gone out of my way to look for chests. Just putting in some minimal effort today I collected a full 1,600 primogems in like a couple of hours. At the very least I'll definitely wait and see where I stand towards the end of Raiden's banner.
That first team you mentioned (Ei, Furina, Yelan, Jean), i tried and works really well. (even though i just put some random artifacts on Jean as i wasn't using her for years...) Good Job!!

Great guide but what I really need are all the figures on the shelf behind him!!
But I just got Raiden yesterday and switched her to EM to try her out with nahida, furina, and zhongli and it was crazy cause you really could just activate everyone's skill and just leave it alone for a while
I cant wait to try the first team comp tho cause I didn't farm a main dps build for nothing lol
Once again, great guide!!
Nahida is predicted to be released in 4.4 and since she is such a valuable pull, I am choosing to save my wishes to guarantee a copy of Nahida. I might pull for Raiden on my main, but I want Nahida on my alt account first before pulling for the Almight Raiden Shogun.
I'm basically at pity for guaranteed Raiden so should get her with maybe 10 pulls and I have 230 wishes which I'll keep above 180 for Nahida... been waiting for a while 😅
in 10 pulls I'll be getting a 5 star but I'm at 50/50 and got just 50 pulls with me. I want Raiden but too sad I have to skip her for Nahida 😢

Thanks for the information & knowledge ✌️😎
Dusted her off last abyss, she worked very well in the double hydro team! Though i used xingqiu instead of yelan
He is still a very good pick! I'm gonna try it out as well once I get my hands on Raiden this Tuesday 👁👁🤌
love the vid! so informative! cant wait to pull for her tomorrow! :)
and yes to hyper hyperbloom 😁👍
My C6 Kuki helps me out beautifully with Hyperbloom so I thought I could skip Raiden but now I'm tempted to pull for her especially since she's an archon and to complete my Tall Badass Women collection 😂 (Yelan, Beidou, Raiden, Ninnguang)
My best advice would be to make yourself a list of "priority characters", according to the characters you love the most, the ones you feel like they'd improve your account, or if it's too hard with those criterias those you'd regret the most if you didn't pull them.
It's important to think on the long run when it's possible, so you won't be in a tight spot when a beloved character comes. 😊
If you want her go for her if not don’t, never pull a character you don’t love or like. That being said raiden has so many more uses than as a hyper bloom e bot. You have her hyper carry her rational team as well. Raiden is an amazing battery and has extremely high burst damage that makes her better with investment and at c2 and c3 she deletes everything I’ve gotten a 612k initial slash and 115k charged attacks with her. Damage wise she’s as good as they come and she’s will battery your team and increase burst damage based on energy cost which those are her best features. You miss out on those features in a hyperbloom where you don’t use her burst.
I got raiden yesterday and she's level 60 now and she does 80k in abyss 12 . She is my best c0 dps .
Pretty sure that with C2 she blows hyperbloom out of the water in her typical skill bot role teams, like, even at C0 she is close to them as far as I can tell, it's just that the investment is much easier on hyperbloom, but optimized C2 should clear it with no problem unless you got C2 Nahida or whatever nonsense hyperbloom can be.
nah, i have an extremely invested c2 hyper carry raiden (with jade wing spear, no signature yet) and a c0 nahida on a hyperbloom team with extremely low investment, with nahida not even having all the correct main stats on her artifacts (literally spend 2 days worth of resin on nahida's artifact domain when she released and just went with whatever i got)... and my nahida team beats out my raiden hyper carry team by a bit, not a ton, but its very noticeable.
i feel like people, and especially theory crafters just love to downplay hyperbloom now for some reason, but it just slaps other high investment options out of the water.
that all said, my koujo sara is only c5, and so once i get c6 i think the classical hyper raiden team will just barely take the edge, but if i put literally any amount of investment in my hyperbloom team, its going to shoot back ahead. maybe if i then got raiden's weapon it might get closer, but i still think hyperbloom will still be quite a bit ahead. not sure how the teams in the video play out compared, but i highly doubt its super far ahead of hyperbloom like you say.
oh and i should mention, i'm comparing a hyperbloom team with fischl as the electro trigger not even kuki, to raiden c2 hyper carry here... if i used raiden as the hyperbloom trigger... holy crap feel like there would be no contest.
Edit: my main abyss teams were raiden and nahida, up until furina and nuv... even with low investment they very easily jumped ahead of both my hyper carry raiden, and my hyperbloom nahida team... and so when deciding to cut a team to be replaced in abyss, i cut the weaker one, so now i run two low investment teams, and my most invested, hyper carry raiden team, is benched which sucks... but i very much do not recommend people pull constellations for characters that require literally 2 years of farming artifacts to be weaker then another character at c0 with 2 days of farming artifacts.
if you were unlucky enough to pull for c2 raiden, just use her as a hyperbloom bot, she will do more damage easier.
@@xXzman9000XxI wouldn’t necessarily call someone “unlucky” for having pulled a C2 Raiden as in most people who pulling Raiden are well aware of that spike it gives. Or better yet, the level of investment, albeit not as expensive as most but still up there, needed to make her a then competitive dps. Unless people are, idk, farming pity, which would be crazy, right?
@@xXzman9000Xx Sorry but you made this the fuck up. If hyper bloom was remotely beating C2 Raiden it would show up in speedruns a lot more than C2 Raiden.
@@azureaurelia5381 i'm not making anything up, this is just my own experience with using the various teams against abyss and weekly bosses.
the damage of hyperbloom is just better and comes way easier.
again i have to state its without c6 sara, and not raiden's signature, but is very much c2 raiden... so i know there is room for improvement, and i imagine i could surpass by hyperbloom team with those two, but the level of investment required is stupid...
i'm f2p and pulled c2 raiden cause i liked her playstyle, no one is more disappointed i benched her then me...
maybe my raiden's crit stats aren't the best? 2 years of farming and i run 80-150cv... obviously could be better, but again we are talking 2 years of farming, versus 2 days of farming, not ideal main stats, and a electro trigger with off set em pieces...
I like the captions and the guide TY
Furina upgrades C0 Raiden to C2.
It was the best guide video that i see for raidan
Ok let's make one thing very clear.
Her on-field playstyle is her 1st playstyle. It is as she is designed, it works to all her strengths.
Her Hyperbloom playstyle is her 2nd. It only uses 1 small part of her kit, and nothing else. It is heresy of the highest order.
So in the end, there are Raiden players and there are Heretics.

This, plus they are probably neglecting the supports/talents.
This is an extremely cool video, I’ve been using Eula/Fischl/Furina/Jean and I’m hoping to get Raider for this team, gl bringing her home everyone!
The sheets you are looking at for information has to be wrong my dude... Yelan, Raiden, Furina, and Jean is far from her BiS team. As someone who has mained her since she came out and play her both on my own C6 account and my GF's account with C0 I can conclude that this info is completely wrong through a bunch of testing myself (yes, both of these accounts have all the aforementioned characters). This team does not beat out hyper carry Raiden damage, and it can barely beat Raiden national in certain situations. So please release your sheets of information and do some more testing yourself.
You also talked about other weapons beating out her signature, this is wrong as it is much better to change around her artifacts for an attack% sands, and since you are running Furina possibly attack% goblet as well. One of the reasons I personally dont feel too great about using Furina and Raiden is because of diminishing value of elemental damage. This is clearly seen when comparing this team to a hyper carry team (Raiden, Bennett, Sara, Kazuha).
Another good video, I use the same team, keep up the good work Jello...

You sure about that huh?
@@chonkhampterwell fontaine characters have been absolutely great so far so I don't doubt it

@@the_knave01 bruh you know chevys cons right? C0 raiden with Hypercarry team can put 300k initial slash and with the next 7 seconds she can put 600k-700k easily per rotation. Chevys gonna 40% electro/Pyro res shred and at c6 60% electro/Pyro damage bonus is gonna definitely increase her dps. I have C2 Raiden with R5 catch with Hypercarry. 500k-600k initial slash without food buffs and almost 1.5mil per rotation. Idk what's to cry about and I am f2p. You gotta build her properly that's it. And her energy recharge restores the entire teams energy. So never run out of energy and get the burst up within the cooldown everytime. Infinite rotations.
@@chonkhampter well if you have c2 then she's obviously the best and irreplaceable. Personally, my c6 fischl does kore damage and c6 kuki is better for hyperbloom and yes i do have a c0 raiden who doesn't get picked beside certain abyss and only in that good old national team
Waited for her for such a long time!!! Get for Eula, so she can change ER sands to ATK sands
She is strongest character in whole game,
But we often say she is good character 😂.....just to be safe from Raiden haters...
They will surely come here too..and explain me that ( i am not raiden hater but she is not that strong 😂)...
And yeah , i already predicted that, so it maybe possible they didnt comment....
In the end : Victory is mine 😏😎.
And yeah , Raiden lover always know raiden is strongest...some say on people face like me, some will kept themselve away from debate...😂
Yeah, i know , Thats a genius play..
Already predicted your appreciation so : Thanks .
And some people maybe just comment singoe word like (idot, naive, bastard, or maybe worse)
And yeah i predicted that too...😂😂😂
she's mid her best team is hyperbloom, imagine spending 2 yrs of artifact grinding for a perfect ratio for her only to be outdone by a low effort hyperbloom build that mustve sucked rofl
Raiden fan still in denial that their c2 getting out damage by c0 hyperbloom bot
@@qwertysysysyysysysyzz I make my Raiden... Like she deal 83k on CO...
But yeah now I have her C6 and R5, so I easily do one shot kill every weekly bosses...
😂😂😂
She is strongest.. Only broke people can't afford to make her strong...
Weak Owner, weak character.. Strong owner Strong Character.
@@SlimeImpact. lol p2w for losers with skill issue hutao at c0 does 130k per hit x8 + 250k burst if u know how to actually build chars 83k on raiden weak as shit like you noob
@@SlimeImpact. i wouldn't use strong to describe someone who spends a ton of money on a character to make her op when cheaper options out perform her. Tho i've never understood the obsession with spending money to trivialize a game that's not very hard to begin with.
I will get her this time around, every time she had a a rerun, i had for whatever reason no Primos and no intention of spending. But this time I have everything for C2R1 and she will be the Triple Crowned Monster she deserves to be.
For God's sake stop misguiding people with you guides, you are Vars second coming to be exact
Minor misspeak correction: 19:45 I think you meant PJS instead of the Catch. Great guide btw!
Raiden was never mid what are you on🤡
Left a like because yes, I "like to mash". It's also why I find Ayato to be such a comfortable character too.
At this point you should show gcsims, spreadsheets or demonstrate speedruns.
You can't just keep repeating the lie that C0 Raiden is top tier with no data to back it up.
In reality she's very mediocre and below almost any other on field dps released since her.
These type of videos influences people's spending on a gacha game and those people are going to be disappointed.
Yelan Furina Jean sheets very well at high investment
@@JelloImpact Raiden premium is 5 gold team, right? its DPR is 1.67 million with 71k DPS at c2, that is worse than navia. In that same element, cyno's premium 5 gold team DPS is 78k with a DPR of 2.08 million. i would love to be proven wrong, but with the same amount of character investement cyno outperforms raiden by a big margin. they both have premium teams, so can't say cyno is expensive.
@@God_Reaper_6000 The 'gold' metric is bs. c6 4 stars should count as 2 gold.
@@JelloImpactand just switching to Hutao increases that team DPS by 20%. Variants with Kokomi Kazuha, or switching to Xingqiu also have higher team DPS while even better at ER management.
@@God_Reaper_6000 u are looking at sheet dps but thats not the whole picture. The frontloaded nature of raiden hyper is what makes he very good at speedrunning. Look at tart international for example. Anyone who has seen sheets of international will know that it is low but it is a very good low cost speedrun team.
Thanks for making this video! I got raiden when she first came out and loved her, but never invested in her enough to see huge damage. Once i heard people say how good her c2 was, I became really demotivated to ever try and build her because i'd always be running a version of her that's not as good as it could be. But I'm excited to try and build her once I finish building navia and next time furina is on the banner I'll probably be pulling for her! I wasn't playing during Furina so i missed her but i think im going to have to get her eventually!
12:43 "Obviously I have Furina here"...That's the sleepiest Furina I've ever seen.
ty for this great review
raiden is amazing and probably the most flexible main dps in this game
but i have already neuvillette, alhaitham and ayaka. so, going for nahida and neuvilette c1 makes more sense for me :)
btw, love your videos ;)
That Nahida/Yelan/Xingqiu/Shogun team is almost what I'd been maining in the overworld, except one of the Hydro characters was always swapped for Zhongli.
Bro is absolutely right, Raiden is the best, mine is C0R1, and she constantly deals 250k+ from burst and 45k-55k per charge atk while in burst, shes absolutely amazing and great carry
Team is Raiden - Sara (C4) - Kazuha - Bennet (C5)
Double Hydro Team with Main HyperCarry Raiden is really a great team. The last slot with Jean just completes the team because she synergies really good with Furina.
tbh i dont use her that much these days but i remember i was so hype to get her back in 2.1 cuz she was very strong and she look like raiden mei from HI3... but anyway i wish you guy good luck pulling her ! my plan is c2 nahida wish me luck !!!!!!
I also cleared the 4.3 abyss with the raiden, nahida, baizhu, furina team. Smooth and nice 👍🏻
I have Raiden at C0, and she's my favorite Genshin character as well. I will be getting her C2 AND weapon from this banner.
May this Raiden wanter be a Raiden Haver! 😎
Indonesia recharge, that speech to text tool is hilarious
If I may leave some criticism, one I think is constructive, I'd recommend you to NOT have closed captions in your videos when you don't manually write them.
3:04 I'm a Raiden enjoyer, she's the reason I'm still playing as I was close to quitting, not a "Raiden and Jorz". If those came from one of those fancy AI thingies, you might want to double check them before embedding them in your videos. Our eyes are innately attracted to moving things, which means we'll be forced to look at the subtitles.
Another thing that's been bothering me for a while are the cuts. Sooooooo many of them; way too many. Not sure what's happening there, but I stopped looking at the videos because of that, and when I finally decide to look because of Raiden, I see cuts and incorrect imbedded subtitles. :c
Raiden and Jorz unite! She's NOT mid, not even close, and she's not a Hyperbloom bot. She's one of the best DPS in the game, and I'll defend her till the very end!!
edit: Alright, I kept watching, and it doesn't get better... "Farina", Yaimiko, "novelette", "Sinkcho", "Yolan". I stopped looking after these.
Okay, just one more: 23:17 "Mariusch to say Hunter" XD Only idiots farm Maréchaaussée Hunter; legends farms Mariusch to say Hunter!
I have wanted Raiden for so long
Man.. i still remember her EM Debut with Dendro Traveler back then when Ruin Serpent came back to the abyss... i still have that video in my channel..
She never touched Emblem since then.. no longer an Electro Carry, but a Dendro Carry..
Whats the best team for Raiden atm? Also any teams that run Raiden and Furnia together
You look HYPER excited when u talk about Raiden 😂
I just tried this new team and it worked surprisingly well. Now, I feel like I need to pull for engulfing lighting.
Great video! As a lore accurate Raiden playstyle enjoyer this video gave me hope that she'll finally be seen as a good DPS character... totally not saving for cloud retainer to have more options for her teams, meme or not... nuh uh
16:52 I like this name so much, Jello. 😂😂😂 It remind me of naming Zy0x to Al-Haitham Hyperbloom; by: “Al-Hyperbloom.” Hahahahaha.
Didn’t understand the Ei hate. She’s my fave dps, gonna try to get EL for her, she’s currently rocking Homa for now.
I'm using the same team (Raiden, Furina, Yelan, Jean).
My Raiden is using Homa so it's perfect having that +HP from Hydro Resonance, i get extra atk from the weapon passive
maaan raidens been my main dps since i started playing. Had to save up for her c2 she goes nuts
Raiden never misses. To this day if I’m struggling on a particular abyss my first thought is so try a Raiden team. Rational, oh how you’ve carried me
She can tear me to oblivion… 😌
I think the best take away is that when it comes to the top tier characters - inevitably, they are the support/off-field characters, but when it comes to DPS characters, it comes down to your level of comfort/personal preference.
I mostly play for the story, and if I could get all the characters in order to read and unlock all their voicelines, I would, but mostly right now - I just at least want all the Archons. And I have Neuvi but I would probably also collect all available sovereigns if any further come out. (A PLAYABLE APEP?!? :O )
But I just want to be comfy and have fun. I almost always run a shielder and healer anyway due to... uhmm... lack of skill. I enjoy reading the books, doing events, quests and storylines, and reading the minutiae about the characters more than anything combat related. Am planning to do a hyperbloom team with Neuvi, ZL, Raiden, and Nahida and name it 'sovereignty' - for the puns and giggles.
JelloImpact Great video, I watched multiple times! Is there any theory crafting around your hyper-hyperbloom Raiden? I want to use furina with her, and c6 yao yao is my best healer so I feel like there's an opportunity to both on field dps and hyperbloom, but I'm wondering if split investing has been tested? Even if it's a bit worse it's fun, I just hope it's not dramatically worse lol. You talked about a hyper-hyperbloom idea in this vid but i dont recall seeing the build you used for it, maybe for another video?! 😁
There’s no theorycrafting but I played it myself and liked it a lot :) felt a bit worse than double hydro but better than everything else
@@JelloImpact awesome, thanks for the reply! I'll try to build her with a bit of both stats! I would a full video on it, and perhaps hybrid builds in general
I mostly just built for damage and got a few EM subs where I could. Same main stats
Nahida and instructor Baizhu help
I got Raiden a few days ago and she really is for me that versatile and ez to use! At the moment I’m at AR 35 and she helped me clear Abyss 4 for Colei and clear dragonspine 95% atm. I play her mostly in a team with xiaoqing/ xiangli / Bennett and xiaoqing/ colei (c1)/ sucrose (c1). For the chi of yore quest I made a impromptu team with amber and Rosario for the last flying ruin guard which enabled me to clear that annoying quest. Before her I couldn’t clear the 3 ruin guards in wave 2. she’s still at lvl 40 and outperforms most of the other chars I have dog wise. So much ❤❤❤❤ for her! She’s my second 5* after a quiqui pull, which I didn’t lvl up. Willalso try to lvl my chevreuse later to try that combinatio.
i was looking for a c0 raiden guide literally as you posted this LMAO
