UPDATED 2.5 Raiden Guide! Constellations, Builds, Weapons, Teams, and MORE! Genshin Impact

hello and welcome to my channel i went to lose gaming we're going to be doing a quick guide on the writing shogun she is back she has her rerun banner available now for you guys to pull on and i'm just certain a lot of you guys are probably going to pull on her she's an amazing character and i'm sure you guys are also going to be shocked to learn this video is going to have quite a bit of math involved i know absolutely stunning in a video of mine [Music] i think most of you guys know really the basics of her stuff like her kit and what it does but i will kind of blitz through it real quick her normal attack does physical damage and yeah there's nothing really else to say about a normal attack you can run some meme crescent pike builds but yeah i mean you know it's just not really the best option her elemental skill is interesting because you can cast it and it does an initial electro tick which is 234.4 damage and then so her element of skill has standard icd on the coordinated attack ticks they have a 50 chance to generate one particle on each coordinated attack and it has a tension cooldown 25 second duration and finally it doesn't tick on abyss mage and lecter shields so it must do damage in order to tick and as such is not the best option for depleting abyss-made shields or electric shields and also importantly it adds some bonus elemental burst damage and here i have this chart we can see it's obviously just very simple um you should bring this up to level nine at which point it should be at zero point three percent per energy element burst damage bonus we see in this chart 40 energy costs gives a 12 energy burst and an 80 energy cost burst gives you a 24 energy cost and this applies to any member in your party so right in casa only uses his meteor he's going to get the elemental burst damage bonus for ryden herself since her burst costs 90 energy this thing gives her a 27 additional bonus burst damage and yeah let's actually go take a quick look at it but you can dash cancel you can jump cancel it and it will appear and you can also switch out of it very quickly so it's a very very low a very quick cast time and you know very low commitment to utilize okay next let's talk about our burst reverse is pretty complicated but i'm going to go through it pretty quickly i think most of you guys know how it works but if you don't then hopefully this explanation will help so it has the initial sl okay why don't we actually just use her burst real quick when we use her burst she does her you know my opinion one of the best burst animations in the entire game and the initial slash there is the big multiplier that you know we'll see and once we go back to her character talent page okay so we are at her elemental burst as we saw she did an initial slash and she had some sword infused electro attacks there are two ways that writing can gain resolve the first way is through her passive where when anyone in your party grabs an energy particle you gain two resolve and has a three second cooldown and the second way is by using ryden's teammates bursts which gives up to 0.2 resolve per energy spent on that character's burst here we can see a simple chart that shows the amount of resolve that you gain in consolation 0 when your party members use their burst and finally she can have a maximum of 60 resolve and each resolve adds skill multiplier to her burst damage so for example with zero results she has a 52 percent and then with 60 result she does 852 plus 60 times 8.26 which is 1347.6 percent skill multiplier damage and the same applies for her normal attacks and charge attacks but do keep in mind that this multiplier that goes in 1.54 times 60 is added to each individual hit so this four hit damage combo which has two hits that means that it is added to each individual hit and really you're kind of double dipping in that sense it applies to the charge attack as well in the end having around 60 resolve will give her basically 58 percentage additional damage which is a lot right that's a lot of additional damage so you do want to be using write-in with a lot of resolve her resolve is indicated um okay so right now we don't have the ring around her but let's go ahead and get the ring around her real quick by grabbing an energy particle and we can grab an energy particle by obviously just generating an energy particle real quick [Music] so now she has this ring around her which indicates that she is starting to build resolve and obviously you can grab a lot of particles to get some resolve that takes a long time but really the most reliable and better way to generate resolve is by using your party members bursts using beta's burst but now we can see that the ring has some additional shiny lights on it let's use fish's burst and now we can see how the ring is you know kind of reaching its end there and it's about to be full that explanation took way longer than i would like so anyway now that you are in burst mode it lasts for seven seconds but that's deceptive because her burst animation casts and that lasts a little bit of time and then after burst animation finishes that's when the seven second duration actually starts so once you press the q button it's actually around 8.5 ish seconds that the burst technically lasts for i guess and one more thing about her burst there is so much talk about with her burst is that she provides energy restoration for the entire team when she hits things with her ability or when she hits things with her burst and here we can see energy can be restored this way once every one second when she hits an enemy so the base amount of energy restored to the entire team with five procs of this is 12.5 and then this is multiplied by her second passive which gives her point six percent greater energy restoration from mucho eachine for every one percent over 100 energy recharge if we take a look at my write-in she has 289 right now she actually has more when she uses her burst so if we actually look at her weapon which gives 50 additional energy recharge so what this means is that she is at 339 minus 100. let me just do that math real quick so after factoring this passive basically for my writing shogun and this current bill she gives her entire party 30.455 energy which is a lot of energy that's half of bennett's entire burst just by hitting things a few times during her burst an incredibly powerful passive and it also gives additional electro damage bonus so my brighton's case with 330 something 339.4 an additional 95.7 electric damage bonus so in other words you're highly incentivized to build her with energy recharge because of all the benefits that she gets from it okay we can finally move on from the basics of the writing shogun uh you know talked about that for so long so let's just talk about artifacts there is no close second option for her there's only one option that is the emblem of severed fates that's it no need for a guide on that but let us talk about the main stats and substats so really in terms of the attack percent goblet versus an electro damage goblet both of them are pretty viable i recommend using whichever one you have is way better than the other or significantly better than the other and in terms of you know her circuit just create damage or crit uh crit rate depending on if you want to quit fish for a nuke or if you want a more balanced higher sustained dps build with her [Music] timepiece it's super simple straightforward just go with an energy recharge timepiece and in terms of substance quit rayquett damage energy recharge in that order um quarayquar damage being you know whichever one better balances out your chris that's or you know whichever one fulfills your desired purposes for your crit stats and finally after those three we have attack percent is decent too it's not a waste and after that you know we're starting to get into really uh much worse options with like a flat attack or something like that right all right now we can get into something more interesting and that is this weapon chart the baseline for this weapon chart is going to be the catch which is one of the best free-to-play weapons in the entire game especially with the advent of the emblem of severed fates and finally you know with the characters like the writing shogun as well as sean lane the catch is a ridiculously good weapon for free to plays and in case you don't know how to catch the catch i did make a tutorial video on that a link will might be in the description below but basically you have to catch a ton of fish highly recommended as it is completely free to play accessible and it is only gated by your patient sanity and time since the writing shogun's burst is all considered burst damage every single hit even these normal attacks and charge attacks within it these are all considered burst damage when they hit the enemy that means that this buffs it essentially unconditionally for the writing shogun and it having 12 crit rate also makes it easier to build her around so for example we can see here her actual crit ratio here is 75.3 and 154.9 after adding in the 12 crit rate let's talk about her signature weapon the engulfing lining now the engulfing lining is a substantial boost to the writing shogun here in this chart in a damage maximized calculation stuff we can see that in a vacuum with no other teammates the writing shogun is doing 26 more damage with a refinement one engulfing lightning because the engulfing lining provides a ton of attack based on her energy recharge where she's building a ton of energy recharge and because attack is often a stat that you're missing on the writing shogun without the engulfing lighting it really patches up that specific multiplier so yeah you're going to gain a ton of attack with this weapon if we actually look at my writing show and we can see with the engulfing lighting equipped she's at 24.33 and this is not even when she's using her burst which she gains a little bit more attack if we compare that to the catch he's at 1 317 right so we went from 2400 to 1300 that's a huge difference in terms of the amount of attack she gains now the good news though is that when it comes to party buffs um attack is the most common buff so you do have you know comparatively diminishing returns for attack in comparison to other things like defense dread as well as a resistance shred and ryden's case she also has a ton of bonus damage too so um you know things that boost bonus damage for your party aren't as good on her as compared to many other characters but yeah either way you know um engulfing lighting an incredible weapon i refinement five it's doing 66 more damage a colossal amount more damage than um then the catch at that point [Music] now let's talk about some other options we do have the skyward spine the skyward spine is basically almost the exact same as the catch you do attack a tiny bit faster but it's pretty hard to notice but yeah it's worth noting you might be able to squeeze out an extra normal attack in the attack string at some point now i haven't personally really tried this but uh yeah so anyway skyward spine it's a reasonable catch substitute does almost the exact same amount of damage as the catch and for example if you have jungling and you have the skyward spine and you have ryden you want to use them all in the same team you can give either the catch or the skyward spine to either the characters and they will do great next weapon we're talking about is the fuvonis lance now i guess you can use the felonious lance if you don't have the catch yet or if you don't have the skyward spine as well the photons lance is nice because it definitely generates the most energy for the entire party in comparison to the other options because of the white particles it generates which is quite a lot of energy now in terms of the other weapons i only really bother doing the math for the death match but it's really just to demonstrate a point and we can see that in terms of the damage it actually does it does okay damage but it's missing that energy recharge and as we saw energy recharge adds a ton of utility for ride in it increases the amount of energy she generates for the team it increases how much bonus damage you get from the emblem of severed fates and it also increases ryden's own ability to have her burst up so in terms of any other weapon that does not have energy recharge that's a pull arm i'm just giving them all two slimes two slime ratings across the board because really they're just not recommended for a character like the writing shogun [Music] okay now let's get into the actual interesting stuff in my opinion about this video and that is probably what a lot of you guys are considering with this rerun that is some of her constellations let's talk about our constellations let's also talk about whether or not the engulfing lightning is worth it as well as what you can expect while you pull on the writing shogun's banner which by the way has both bennett and sarah on it okay so do keep that in mind that's an incredible banner right there anyway her consolation one adds additional resolve when other characters use their elemental burst 20 for non-electric characters and 80 additional resolve for electric characters so we look at this chart we can see here that i'm making the assumption that we have 80 electro energy from her party members and 120 other elemental energy from her party members now let's assume that the party is for example sarah bennett and kazuha now i didn't add bennetts and cause of his buffs into this but we can assume that all of them use their bursts that's how we get these baseline energy resolve calculations now at talent level 9 we are getting 40 resolved just by using all three of their bursts at constellation 0. and actually before we dive into that let's talk about uh i did want to include sarah's math in this because we'll we'll also be factoring in how much damage you gain while you get consolation on star so i consolation 0 with the catcher for 5.5 here we can see that she is doing 63 325 average q damage on the initial slash and once we add sara into that formula she is doing 34 more damage and this is the baseline is right in plus a consolidation zero sars buff okay now with that out of the way let's talk about our constellation one how much damage it actually adds in a typical rotation which is at the beginning of an abyss chamber you will start with zero resolve when you hop into the abyss chamber however you can use your three supports burst and then you will get a bunch of result from it now that's really when this constellation is the most valuable because in the overall it's like whatever who cares but in abyss you will gain additional 16.7 to resolve from your party members from concerts you want and this ends up being a 12 increase to her burst damage right out of the gate for abyss 12. now because it is situational to just abyss 12 and because it's not a huge damage gain it's only 12 in the situation i'm giving this one a 3.5 slime at a five sign rating we are at constellation 2 which is literally one of the best constellations in the entire game this is a constellation that is better than many many characters constellation sixes like i'm talking for example yay miko her constellation six is the same as ryden's constellation two which is absolutely crazy but if we look at this chart we can see that this shreds sixty percent of the enemy's defense and this increases her burst damage just flat out by another 43 damage on top of her constellation one so in total you are now doing 60 more damage in comparison to a constellation zero write-in just by getting her constellations one and two and this is an incredible consolation easily deserves a five slime rating out of five slimes the next one is a very simple plus three talent level on her elemental burst and here we can see that going from talent level 9 to 12 based on this chart increases her damage by 18 on top of her constellation 2 so pi constellation 3 you are now doing nearly twice the amount of damage as you are in comparison to a constellation zero writing so this constellation is essentially an unconditional buff to her burst damage unlike constellation one which is you know more conditional and a smaller buff so i'm giving this constellation a four and a half star rating because any additional damage you stack on top of ryden's constellation 2 pushes her damage above and beyond so now let's talk about what if you get consolation 5 sarah because you're going to be pulling on this banner and obviously sara is also on this banner and sarah i'm going to throw her in my party real quick that way i don't have to scroll a million miles just to click on her there we go so constellation five star adds three levels to her elemental skill which adds um basically does the same thing as bennett's attack buff where it takes her base damage multiplies it by in this in my asar's case 91 adds it onto ryden's attack stat so bringing sara from constellation you know to constellation five will now increase ryden's damage by another five percent now keep in mind that this has diminishing returns with other attack buffs like no bless obliges as well as bennett and you know freedom sworn from kazoo etc etc but this is still just a nice little bonus for ryden's damage and i'm giving this a 2.5 slime rating out of five slimes because any amount of damage we gain on brighton's burst is welcome but now what if you get consolation 6 zara on your journey to getting constellation 2 or constellation 3 write it well now we have an additional 60 grit damage and on top of the previous stuff now ryden is doing an additional 22 damage which is you know that's yeah it's it's starting to get crazy so by constellation 6 zara you are now doing 240 of a constellation zero write-in with a constellation zero star we can start to see how this banner is incredibly valuable for your account and now let's actually talk about what if you get the engulfing lightning from the weapon banner and let's say you upgrade from the catch so the engulfing lightning as we saw in the previous weapon chart does a ton more damage but do keep in mind that once you start stacking on other attack buffs we will heavily dilute the bonuses gained with the engulfing lightning and in this case even with just saurus buff not even factoring bennetts and kazuha's buffs which would further diminish the gap riding should be doing around 18 more damage in comparison to if she was using the refinement 5 to catch so this is still a you know obviously a very good gain um and you know we're now pushing ryden's damage into whale levels of damage with a refinement one engulfing lightning plus a constitution three write-in with a constellation 6r so you can easily see how this is going to snowball and just continue to turn her into an insane dps character and let's say you are a whale and you get your golfing line two or five and five you're now gaining an additional 29 damage on top of a refinement one engulfing lining so uh rewinding a little bit to the refinement one engulfing lightning we can see that with the refinement one engulfing line she's basically doing three times the amount of damage as a constellation zero free-to-play version of write-in and finally at refinement five engulfing lightning with a constellation 6r she's now doing 3.62 times the amount of damage as a constellation zero right in with the catch so we are getting into crazy uh amounts of damage but you know that's the thing is that um in my opinion just going for constellation 3 write-in at maximum is more than enough to annihilate everything in this game it's more than enough so now let's talk about her consolations 4 5 and 6. adds 30 attack for the rest of the party it's nice it's okay but like if you run a hyper ride in team it does it's not really that impactful but it is good for for example yay miko if you run yai with ryden or yoola if you run you live with ryden there are other situations where it's okay but i'm giving this just a three slime out of five slime rating and finally we have consolation five this makes our elementary skill do a tiny bit more damage just a one point five slime rating out of you know five slimes and finally we have concentration six this one is a nice quality life for speed running because oftentimes you have 20 second cooldowns you can reduce them down to 18 seconds you have to wait two less seconds per speed run which adds up to a lot of time in your life save but besides that you know i guess it's okay for multiple rotations too but you know not really something that's uh that impactful so because of the quality life i'm giving this a 2.5 slime at a five slime rating so really we can see that writing constellations honestly you should really just strongly consider up to constellation three and everything else is just you know kind of a nice little bonus okay so i covered i think what i think was the most interesting part of this video but i guess we can talk about some team compositions this is my favorite team composition you know with ryden i like hyper carry writing a lot and just a fun fact i was one of the first and only advocates as far as i'm aware on the english side of youtube that was promoting hyper carry write-in at the beginning i know over the theory crafting community and many other guide makers calling right in trash because she didn't work with beto and because her damage was only at show levels right like i mean you know whatever that's in the past now i think people have realized just how insanely good ryden is and she is you know going to be if if ryden becomes bad as either because of some unique mechanics and make her bad or electro resistant enemies or it's going to be some insane power creep in terms of what the other characters will end up going through and we have yet to see that indention impact so you can expect ryden to be good for a long time but anyway this is hyper carry ryden the idea behind this team is to just do as much damage as you can with wright and herself we have had tons of world records set with this team we have had incredible performances from free to play using this team we've had incredible performances with dolphins as well and now many free-to-plays can actually get her to constellation 2 or even constellation 3 with this rerun so we're going to be seeing ryden dominate more and more because more people are going to have her cracked and it's going to be incredible for constellation zero writing admittingly this team is not as powerful but it is still quite viable i've seen many constellation zero writings with the catch even hit up to i think 300k nukes which is actually very impressive so do keep that in mind that this is still an incredibly powerful team across all levels of play now a more popular free-to-play team which requires overall less investment into you know any of the pretty much all the characters involved so here we have the writer national team this has been incredibly popular for free to plays or you know ever since ryan's release is actually the more commonly seen team as she basically batters the entire team right we already know that and she batteries bennett and xiang ling the super energy hungry shung ling and she also bennett batteries the super energy hungry shincho and what's great about this team is really its ease of use in comparison to for example a child variant ryden national has super armor and she also batters the entire team so it is super straightforward and easy to use this team you cashing chose burst then you cast bennett's burst and shingles burst and ryden's burst and then you just wail on stuff for seven seconds you do a ton of vapes and you do a ton of over vapes um and things just die and everything is hunky-dory ryden has super armor as i mentioned you have healing so just an incredibly balanced and incredibly powerful team now some other interesting options is some combination of ryden eula plus two appropriate supports you can use bennett to buff both of them you can use ben and star to buff right in more than eula you can use bennett and even lisa to buff both of them you can use ben and kaza hood above right in and group enemies there's you know these two support slots are very flexible when it comes to the writing eula pairing there's another more recent pairing which is ryden plus yai yeah you know you just have a lot of flexibility you can kind of pick and choose you know these two as the dps characters and then you can mix and match the third and fourth slot for example this is one potential option if you're comfortable running without a healer you can do something like this this is you know quite powerful for speed running and you know it's just a reasonably decent team you have guy miko doing a lot of passive damage as well as burst if you want healing and buffing the team you can run bennett and in fact in the current abyss you can even run kokomi thanks to electrocharge reducing enemy resistances so you just have a lot of options this is actually surprisingly flexible writing can really drive so many characters that you know it's she can fit with a lot of teams and i've even seen xiaomi's i've seen xiaomi's run with ryden to fill up the downtime with xiao's burst even though you know at that point ryden you're just better off doing more damage with ryden than trying to shoehorn xiao into the composition or you know something yeah something like this but i have seen this and it's actually reasonable to run so we can see that because ryden is just so universal so good provides energy to the entire team all the time she can actually be slotted into a ton of different teams and she's going to do amazingly well so yeah i'm gonna have some showcases playing as i continue to um talk a little bit more about ryden now do i recommend ryden i think i think in terms of like she's just one of the best characters in the game there's just no other way to put it right now now will we see writing kind of a decline a bit in terms of her power level probably right you know that's just the way these games work um you know obviously zhong li is not as crazy as he was he's still one of the best characters in the game but you know he's just not quite like uh people are learning how to dodge and people are learning how to abuse super armor and a lot of characters have super armor races only is not quite as good as it used to be we've seen venti have a serious fall from grace because now that most enemies can't be picked up by venti's tornado so you know you're just way better off using kazuha in most of those situations now like i said there are ways that they can make ryden bad in the future but you know miho has done a great job of keeping characters good and relevant even to this day so if they ever actually end up power creeping constellation 2 or constellation 3 write in that's a huge concern for every other character in the game as well right like we're talking i can need to be worried gagne needs to be worried ito needs to be worried if constellation 2 consolation conversation three write-in is bad uh like you know and not just situationally bad because of some weird event or some weird like mechanics right so specific mechanics like for example if you use a burst you die right or or if you you know can never use your burst or something right like these are weird scenarios where obviously ryden would do terribly but you guys get the point so yeah a character that i do highly recommend and if in terms of just pure meta she is one of the best primo gems values that you can get in your entire account especially getting her up to constellation two she will obliterate the content of the game just farm a bunch of the emblem the severed fates for her and pair her up with bennett which is in the banner and hopefully you get consolation six star by then and throw her with an animal character preferably cause her but sucrose can work too and you will be very happy with your writings performance i can almost guarantee you okay that about wraps up this guide video let me know what i missed or what you think about write in also i regularly make engine impact videos ranging from caesar showcases dps showdowns guide videos and more so be sure to smash the subscribe button as it's the best and easiest way for you to support my work also don't forget to like the video and leave a comment for the youtube algorithm as always i appreciate every single one of you this is i went to lose signing out [Music] you
