Best 4-star weapons and F2P polearms for Raiden Shogun in Genshin Impact

sportskeeda.com:

Raiden Shogun is returning to Genshin Impact with the 2.5 update, and her rerun banner will be available during the second half alongside Kokomi.

Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, is easily one of the best support characters in the game. Her damage primarily relies on the Elemental Burst, where she summons a sword for some time and deals constant Electro damage.

While the Engulfing Lightning is the best-in-slot five-star weapon for Ei, there are some decent F2P and four-star alternatives as well.

The Catch can be unlocked by fishing, which is not the most fun thing to do in Genshin Impact. However, getting this F2P weapon is certainly worth the effort. It has an Energy Recharge (45.9% ER at Lv. 90) sub-stat and the following passive ability:

It is evident that The Catch is tailor-made for burst DPS units like Raiden Shogun and Xiangling. It solely focuses on the Elemental Burst, and significantly increases the damage output.

The ER sub-stat also helps in getting the burst before the cooldown ends.

Wavebreaker's Fin Polearm has a great passive ability that increases Elemental Burst DMG upto 40%. This is obviously great on Raiden Shogun and the ATK% sub-stat (13.8% at Lv. 90) also increases the damage.

Wavebreaker's Fin is good enough to be compared to The Catch. It might not give Energy Recharge, but players can balance the numbers with artifacts.

Many players have claimed that Raiden works more efficiently with this Polearm than the Catch, and it seems to be a never-ending debate.

Energy Recharge is one of the most desirable stats on Raiden Shogun because it buffs her Electro damage. Hence, Favonius Lance is a worthy four-star weapon that has Energy Recharge as the sub-stat, and the passive ability also generates energy on Crit
