The Catch

The first best weapon that Raiden Shogun can use as Electro Main DPS is The Catch. This weapon is very good as a Raiden Shogun F2P weapon which increases its Energy Recharge and raises its refinement to level 5 just by fishing in Genshin Impact.

To get The Catch weapon, you have to fish in three areas, namely Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma. You can exchange The Catch weapons at the Inazuma fishing association by bringing 20 Rusty Koi fish, 20 Golden Koi fish, and 6 Raimei Angelfish.

Meanwhile, to increase the refinement of The Catch weapon, you can exchange the Ako's Sake Vessel refine item by bringing 10 Pufferfish, 10 Bitter Pufferfish, and 3 Raimei Angelfish for one refinement.

The following are the stat attributes of The Catch weapon:

• Base Attack: gives ATK of 42 at level 1 and 510 ATK at level 90

Wavebreaker's Fin

The next best Polearm weapon that can be used by Raiden Shogun is Wavebreaker's Fin. This polearm weapon is a 4 star weapon that you can get through gacha. Wavebreaker's Fin is good for Raiden Shogun because this weapon can provide additional Elemental Burst Damage.

The Watatsumi Wavewalker skill from the Wavebreaker's Fin weapon calculates the total energy required from the Elemental Burst of your entire party, which means the more energy your character requires, the stronger the user's Elemental Burst DMG.

The following stat attributes are possessed by the Wavebreaker's Fin weapon:

• Base Attack: gives ATK of 45 at level 1 and 620 ATK at level 90
• Additional Stat: gives ATK of 3% at level and 13.8% ATK at level 90
• Skill: Every 1 point of the combined maximum Energy of all party members will increase the Character wearing this weapon by 0.12% Elemental Burst DMG. The maximum Elemental Burst DMG increase that can be obtained this way is 40%. (Refinement Rank 1)

Staff of Homa

The next recommended polearm weapon for the Raiden Shogun character is the Staff of Homa. This weapon is a signature for the character Hu Tao, which has skills and stats to increase HP, CRIT DMG and ATK bonus that can be used by Raiden Shogun.

Raiden Shogun can deal quite a lot of damage with his Elemental Burst when using the Staff of Homa weapon, but note that the Raiden artifact has been slightly changed from usual because this weapon has scaling from the user's Max HP.

The following are the stat attributes of the Staff of Homa weapon:

• Base Attack: gives ATK of 608 at level 90
• Additional Stat: gives DMG% CRIT of 66.2% at level 90
• Skill: increases Max HP by 20 %, and provides an ATK Bonus of 0.8 % from the user's Max HP. When the user's HP is less than 50%, the user will get an additional ATK bonus of 1 % from Max HP. (Refinement Rank 1)

Skywards Spine

Skyward Spine is a 5 star polearm weapon that you can get through gacha. This polearm weapon is known to players as the sky weapon because of the lore or story of this weapon which is related to the sky and the anemo archon.

This weapon is quite good for Raiden to use with the Electro DPS build because it can increase the Energy Recharge stat at the same time as his CRIT Rate and ATK.

Even though it is a weapon with a 5 star rarity level, this weapon is a weapon that is not limited and you can get it from standard requests too.

The following stat attributes are possessed by the Skyward Spine weapon:

• Base Attack: gives ATK of 48 at level 1 and 674 ATK at level 90
• Additional Stat: provides Energy Recharge of 8% at level and 36.8% Energy Recharge at level 90
• Skill: Increases 8% CRIT Rate and 12% Normal ATK. Additionally, when hitting an enemy, normal and Charged Attacks have a 50% percentage to trigger the void blade which deals DMG in a small area of 40% ATK. This effect can be triggered every 2 seconds.

Engulfing Lightning

The next recommended weapon is Raiden Shogun's signature polearm weapon, namely Engulfing Lightning.

This weapon was made specifically to provide attribute stats that can unleash its maximum potential as an Electro Main DPS Character who relies on Energy Recharge for Elemental Burst DMG scaling.

Engulfing Lightning can only be obtained through the limited weapon request that comes along with the Raiden Shogun Character request banner.

This weapon is also a polearm weapon that can provide the highest Energy Recharge compared to other polearm weapons.

The following are the stat attributes of the Engulfing Lightning weapon:

• Base Attack: gives ATK of 46 at level 1 and 608 ATK at level 90
• Additional Stat: provides Energy Recharge of 12% at level and 55.1% Energy Recharge at level 90
