As the current Raiden Shogun who rules over Inazuma, Baal from Genshin Impact performs her iron-grip control over the country to ensure that her policy of Vision Hunt Decree can be carried out perfectly.
First released on September 1, 2021, Baal from Genshin Impact became the most pulled character from all Character Event Wishes because of her status as the Electro Archon from the Seven. With this fact alone, building Baal’s kit properly is the way to see how Baal lives up to her name.
How to Use Baal from Genshin Impact
Raiden Shogun can use her strong Elemental Skill as a buff for other characters’ Elemental Burst DMG whenever she’s on the field. When a character is affected by the buff of Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Skill, Raiden Shogun’s Eye will unleash AoE Electro DMG to the opponents. Thus, Raiden Shogun counts as a solid Support character for her party.
Raiden Shogun’s Elemental Burst is better, which can deal massive damage to the enemies and restore Elemental Energy to your party members. Not to mention, her Normal Attacks can also cause Elemental Burst DMG whenever her Elemental Burst skill is active.
Strengths
- Capable of causing active and passive Electro DMG.
- Raises her teammates’ Elemental Burst DMG.
- Recharges her teammates’ Energy.
- Has a high Energy Recharge rate.
Weaknesses
- Incapable of cooking any food that can support your team.
- Currently does not synergize with several characters, such as Beidou.
