Raiden Shogun weekly boss in Genshin Impact: Attacks and forms explained

There are two forms of Raiden Shogun that you will encounter during battle. At the beginning, you will see her in her first form, where she can be in either the Musou Isshin stance or the Engulfing Lightning stance. In the Musou Isshin stance, the Electro Archon wields a Sword, while in the Engulfing Lightning stance, she wields a Polearm.

Below are the attacks employed by the Raiden Shogun weekly boss in her typical state, along with methods to evade any potential harm from them:

• When Raiden Shogun initiates a melee attack, a white flash animation will occur beforehand. Once you notice this, quickly utilize your dash ability to evade the attack.
• When Raiden Shogun is far away, she will launch Electro projectiles towards you. Remember to conserve your stamina and dash just before the projectiles are about to reach you.
• When Raiden Shogun initiates the battle wielding a Polearm, she will summon an Electrocoli during the fight that has the potential to explode unless it is destroyed. Dispatch the Electrocoli swiftly by using a swift attacker such as Xiao or Xianling, and Raiden will enter a weakened state, allowing you to concentrate on unleashing your strongest Elemental attacks against her.
• When facing the Raiden Shogun, be aware that she has the ability to summon three Electrocoli simultaneously. To effectively deal with this situation, prioritize breaking one Electrocoli swiftly while keeping your distance from the other two. Wait for them to explode before resuming your attacks.
• The ability Shadow Clone allows Raiden Shogun to summon two clones, resulting in three Raiden Shoguns present in the arena. To identify the original boss, observe the Raiden Shogun that unleashes an X-shaped attack instead of a single slash. By attacking the true Raiden Shogun, she will be temporarily stunned, enabling you to inflict extra damage.
• In this stage, Raiden Shogun will summon a shield similar to Childe. Your objective is to attempt breaking it using your strongest attacks. However, failing to do so will result in a powerful counterattack from Raiden Shogun inflicting significant damage. It is advisable to have healers and shielders in your team to handle such situations effectively.
• Raiden Shogun has the ability to summon an Electro storm before transitioning into her second Shadowlord form. During this storm, thunder strikes will rain down over the entire arena. To avoid getting hit, position yourself at the edge of the arena and take cover between the Electro seeds.

Please be aware that the Electrocoli moves are executed while she is wielding the Polearm in the Musou Isshin stance, and the Shadow Clone move is incorporated in her Engulfing Lightning stance.

Raiden Shogun weekly boss second phase – Baleful Shadowlord form

The aim is to deplete her shield, represented by the purple bar below the HP bar, in order to revert her back to her regular form.

Below is a compilation of the offensive moves employed by Raiden Shogun during her second phase, along with effective techniques to evade them:

• The Iai slash performed by Raiden Shogun involves a sweeping horizontal sword attack. This move has a rather lengthy animation, so when you spot a white flash on the screen, quickly dash to evade the incoming attack.
• Raiden Shogun performs a consecutive sequence of two melee attacks. The first attack is a vertical slash, immediately followed by a horizontal Iai slash. To prevent taking damage, simply dash to either side during the vertical slash.
• The Raiden Shogun will summon a pair of shadow hands that will trail your character and clap to inflict damage. Time your dash to the right when the palms are about to strike and look out for the white flash to achieve perfect timing.
• When activated, the Shadow ability of Raiden Shogun will summon an Electro shadow from beneath the ground. This shadow will pursue you for a brief period before detonating. Regrettably, the initial damage caused by the shadow cannot be avoided. Nevertheless, as it begins to expand and explode, swiftly dash to evade any additional harm.
• The Sword Attack ability of Raiden Shogun unleashes a powerful rectangular area-of-effect (AoE) strike. The attack’s range is clearly marked on the ground, allowing you to evade it by stepping out of the designated area. To successfully avoid this attack, it is essential to manage your stamina wisely. Alternatively, you can seize the opportunity to attack Raiden Shogun from behind while she executes this move, utilizing your own skills to inflict damage.
• When engaging with Raiden Shogun, be prepared for her projectile attacks if you are not within close combat range. She unleashes a series of five vertical slashes, which can be avoided by maneuvering through the gaps between them. However, it is important to note that the subsequent horizontal slash cannot be dashed through, so it is advisable to sidestep to evade it.
• The Raiden Shogun will summon three Electro pillars that emit horizontal Electro waves from time to time. To avoid taking damage, you can either jump over these waves at the edge of the arena or rely on a healer or shielder to withstand the damage while continuing to attack the weekly boss.
• The Timestop move is the ultimate ability of Raiden Shogun. It begins with the summoning of a Flower of Remembrance, followed by a devastating sword strike. By using an Electro attack to shatter the flower, a protective shield will envelop you. However, failing to break the flower will result in the immediate death of your active character from a single hit.

Raiden Shogun’s Baleful Shadowlord form showcases a variety of attacks. However, once her shield is shattered, she will revert back to her standard form and employ the phase 1 attacks described earlier.

In order to emerge victorious against Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact, it is crucial to consistently evade her attacks while concurrently inflicting damage.
