@ I'm looking, and I can't find this mythic dog pile. Maybe you should stop making up scenarios in your own head and enjoy the game?

I legit dont understand why people didnt think she was good during her release, were people so caught up on overworld solo burst crit numbers they actually dismissed her strength within abyss scenarios

like I love this game but I've never seen such a massive portion of any gaming community have such incredibly out of touch perspectives of character strength, like people ranking bennet as amongst the worst characters during 1.0

@@renzbolado153 the thing is even at C0 when build decent she still can hit for 100-200k on initial burst in the abyss with proper team rotations, I 100% agree with you. I have C2 now but C0 Raiden impressed me from day 1. Also the last 3 abyss’s, another hated character Kokomi has been amazing for me as a DPS on Ocean clam set. She has been clearing abyss with ease, and her ability to quickly heal and not get staggered in her ult is so valuable. This community hates everyone on release and it’s sad.

My biggest issue with her is her not having any use outside the national team. In Eulas team it's better to just have diona + Yae for batterying and electro application and TTODS buff. A sub dps for Yoimiya? Childe dishes out more dmg while utilizing Yunjin's buff during Yoimiya DownTime and this whole team doesn't need any energy with Yunjin using favonius and bennet being built with energy recharge from the start. She doesn't even fit in a freeze time because superconduct unfreezes the enemies. Honestly, just being a battery always makes me think of her as nothing necessary because very few teams have a desperate need for burst without having a support that is just as effective as raiden while having more utility than her outside the battery work.

@@renzbolado153 i don't think people did think she was weak, there was just a loud minority of people and content creators who were saying it. i''m someone with kazuha, someone who pulled for kazuha despite saving for another character specifically BECAUSE of how good he was and how good everyone was saying he was as a buffer. something like a 5 star bennett was what they were calling him during his banner, at least in the places i frequented. same story with raiden. even to this day i keep hearing people parrot the talking points against raiden during her banner, the biggest one being she "only" refills 24 energy or something... lol yeah she refills 24 energy, per enemy hit... just make sure you hit multiple enemies during your burst window and she will refill her own burst before the cooldown is up. i realized this day one of her first banner, and its amazing people still don't understand how she works... i'm always confused when i hear people talking about all the characters who they thought were weak and skipped them, but here i am with all of those characters for the exact opposite reason. did people literally not pay attention or read their kits? the only characters that are now considered good after their banners that i had initially skipped were the ones that got buffed later, (zhongli, albedo, kokomi i might get at some point but i'm still not super convinced she's worth getting for me personally) i also skipped venti the first time cause i didn't want him at the time, since it was early on and didn't understand limited banners, and i missed his second rerun because i didn't have enough wishes saved up when he was announced. got him on the current rerun simply because i skipped a bunch of banners to save up specifically for him.

Lmao yeah but in all honesty electro should be either speed or energy recharges.

you legit just described raiden 💀

her e adds so much bonus dmg for characters like miko and eula heck

@@clive... Atk speed boost would be nice, yeah. I wish Overload just staggers ALL units instead blowing away small units :/

As a joke or not, maybe later we get to see NPCs dressing as Ei as an aspiration of who the inazumans wants to be. I mean, we can see a cheap knock-off Yae in Ritou plaza during the current event. Think of it like when Jorah sees a prostitute dressing like the Khaleesi in season 5.

Tbf at the very first model leak she did look similar to Ying'er But eh what do I care I've been hot and crazy about her ever since I heard she's a mommy way before her model was even leaked

True

Glory to the shogun and her everlasting reign

Another high-tier analogy would be calling her a power grid.

TL;DR: A Ballistic Missile Submarine.

Litteraly that line made me want to pull for her. To see if its actually true As an owner of a F2P obtained C2 Raiden, she does live up to batterying teams whilst still obliterating anything she sees

Also legendary JP voice actress

I picker here cuz of mega waifu not other stats.

She is also Baal which means she is Satan.

But can she cook?

Super meta character but they didn't write her so well :(

Pretty sure they said it was underwhelming as an archon Was like a solid A level until the buff +players experimenting found better teams I could be wrong for the first statement but there was definitely a buff to Raiden after the first banner

I also heard that they were dissapointed in Zhongli because he wasn't good at dealing DPS, I could be wrong about this since I wasn't into genshin community at that time. But yeah genshin community is always ready to jump to conclusions most of the time so I stopped listening to them.

@@eraba661 I think that was because his shield was weak or something so they buffed the shield until it was op from what I heard Gonna have to dig up old news for info._.

@@whereisaim4022 tf buff you talking about

@@dakkuro2466 my bad it was a buff during beta

For me she was the first character I didnt even think twice about double crowning

More character the better, because abyss meta will change, just like the current abyss, u can see her usage go down because of rational can't handle small mobs because of overload, u can still 36 star with her, but u get better clear time if u replace her with anemo unit like sucrose

As someone who broke his Genshin Budget to make sure Shogun had C2 and Engulfing Lightning...it is absolutely worth it. I spent WAY too much money during that banner, but I do not regret investing in Shogun. Every time her burst kicks off and she absolutely CHUNKS whatever giant monster I'm fighting...it's just the best. Boss monsters either get one-shot or lose 85%+ health in the opening blast. She's an absolute queen.

C2 is great since Raiden goes from a sub-dps to pretty much a main dps. I love using her so much I got her all the way to C3 (I didn’t want engulfing as weapon banner is evil and it is with the useless Kokomi doughnut).

Unpopular opinion(?): C2 Raiden is overrated, it makes the enemies die too fast so she can't battery her team as much lol

No one usually has the perfect build immediately when a new character drops so it's just obvious no one should listen to immediate ratings.

@@riverajustinmarks. yes i agree, thats also more reason for this communities to judge a characters after a couple of days, and be more carefull in the future, especially for the content creators

the SAME happened with kazuha, he was called 5* sucrose but now literally everyone is waiting for his rerun

@@jellomello984 I mean he IS 5 a star sucrose, everyone was just dumb and underestimated sucrose, especially at that time EM just got buffed, and before that sucrose was a mediocre character so that sentence means completely different now and then. Sucrose is one of the strongest 4-star characters with high damage (especially against 2 or more enemies), easy to build, and great at buffing on top of decent CC which is exactly what Kazuha does too just slightly differently. The difference is each has their own team where they shine brighter than others. Sucrose taser is cracked even against single target even though it is specialized against group, and kazuha mono element team buffing is insane or double swirl childe international etc

@@zeromailss I'm talking about the things at the time ofc, sucrose wasn't as popular as now

yea they are cracked, only recently did I get enough 5 stars and resource to invest on teams without them, usually, I use Geo for the second team but now I have Morgana, Taser, and Eula team as well

I lost her 50/50 to Jean. *i already c6 Jean before*

C1 Miko with a Kokomi or Xingqui has 0 energy issues, speaking from experience

Uri Bové yeah but that’s c1she goes from having a 90 cost burst to 66 so obviously she’s not going to have energy issues. But with a c0 miko not focused on er needs raiden or at least a fischl

She also struggles against shielded enemies apart from a lack of self sustain. Which is why this week's abyss is the first time her usage plummeted by quite a lot since she has no usage against the Abyss lectors. Though next abyss she will no doubt climb to the top again.

@@ReconCrusader when the game barely needs any healing in a character skillset thanks to the abundance of food, that's a pretty minor setback.

@@Gadottinho I do agree she has a few easy to bypass weaknesses, but no Raiden works with every character we have in the game. Heck, even Beidou can benefit from her Ei

@@Gadottinho Lmao yes you can hahaha. With her loaded and universal kit and how easy the game you can definitely use her in every team even if it's weird it will work.

@@MrHav1k she doesn’t even need Beidou to shine. What on earth were people thinking?? Lmao

@@maraisfan4life517 Beidou is the best DPS at c2 (better than raiden) so using Raiden with her is logical, raiden fills up beidou's burst, raiden buffs beidou's burst, Beidou's burst buffs raiden's burst, and Raiden can be on field doing damage and energy filling up while Beidou does off field damage.

if you mean characters who have their ults at the cost of like 40-60 then yes. Or if you have Raiden's signature weapon. If not - then bullshit, you have to invest in ER to have 100% uptime. If we are talking about the national team all of your units better have at least 180 ER.

@@ryzhik9608 Yeah saying little to no ER is going too far, she makes them morea achievable tho, Xiangling eats energy like no one else and with Raiden I have to funel only one Bennett E to get her to burst again but yeah they're all above 180 ER.

I've thought that raiden needed a buff for her duration of her isshin state but after pulling for her because of her cool animation and building her, her normal attacks and charged deal insane damage and there wasn't a need for a duration buff, plus it would make her more overpowered than she already is due to the energy regen she provides

Looking back, evaluating characters on release is flawed to hell and back. Most of us didn't have her BiS set stats yet, we didn't have her talents maxed, and of course we didn't quite have her teams figured out.

@@drakensgreed2350 I mostly pull for characters I like but when they seem strong I make sure I'll get them. I liked Raiden and I was a bit underwhelmed at the start but once I saw how she reduced my Eula battery to pretty much one Diona cast at worse I figured she might be good on other teams, never had I imagined that she would be my go to choice for one team in almost every abyss (not this one, this one doesn't want anything to do with her). Kokomi is the character I trashed and I stand by it, you don't need Kokomi, she makes things easier but I wouldn't advertise her as a "must" as most of the people say today. Short story, if I like the character I'll try to get him/her, I can 36 abyss with ease anyway, unless they come in Yae state then I'll riot.

Thats ei and shogun

Imagine speaking so high about utility when you're abusing c2 which is arguably the best constellation in the game. People were rightfully mad about the nonexistent interaction with Beidou as first, it was working in beta and was obviously made to not work and even the description changed for bs greedy reasons, and second, without her Raiden could only be run with Eula, a pretty niche and not exactly universally owned character. The discovery of Raiden national (which didn't happen in the first two weeks of the banner BTW) was literally her saving grace, without it she at c0 had no place in the meta.
