HYPERBLOOM
In this build, Raiden triggers Hyperbloom in a Dendro team. She generates more energy, triggers seeds faster, and buffs team Burst damage, but trades flexibility versus Kuki Shinobu.
For artifacts, two +80 Elemental Mastery sets perform within one substat roll of Gilded Dreams (4) with another Electro unit (3–4 rolls behind without). Use the set with the most Elemental Mastery substats.
DPS
DPS Raiden relies on her Elemental Burst for damage and team energy, while keeping her Elemental Skill active. Her Resolve mechanic, on-field playstyle, and energy generation pair best with high-cost off-field characters.
Weapon ranking (personal damage):
Staff of the Scarlet Sands – building Elemental Mastery not recommended; other stats outperform.
Deathmatch – ranking assumes single target; at [R5] it can beat Staff of Homa.
Skyward Spine – with its ATK Speed combo, slightly ahead of The Catch [R5].
Wavebreaker's Fin [R5] – similar to Deathmatch.
Lithic Spear – ranking at 2 stacks; [R5] similar to Deathmatch; falls with fewer stacks.
Favonius Lance – poor personal damage but can outperform most 4✩ if aiding high-damage teammates (e.g., Xiangling).
Artifact sets: Tenacity of the Millelith (4) – weak for personal damage but can surpass other sets via team buffs.
Main stat priority: Sands and Goblet depend on substats, external buffs, and weapon. Use an optimizer to determine the best setup.
