In thisGenshin Impact GuideI’m going to be showing you myEndless Overload BuildforRaiden Shogun; which relies solely on transformative reactions to deal damage, without building for direct damage or critical stats. It excels in AOE situations with several enemies on the field, and damage goes much higher with a greater number of enemies gathered together. The damage also has a very high floor, meaning it starts strong with so little to none artifact optimization needed. The build also barely requires any of the top tier support units, so it doesn’t suffocate your second team. This is not the only way to build Raiden, as it’s one way of many. It’s more complex than my average build, but rewards the player’s skill, while still being cheap to build.
I’ll explain just how to build theEndless Overload Buildto face a wide variety of content, and deal potent damage. If you’ve been looking for a Free to PlayRaiden Shogunbuild for endgame, look no further. I’ll go through whatWeaponsto use, whatArtifactsto upgrade and which companions to pick up, so check this one out!
This is a budget-friendly versionRaiden Shogunbuild, making it suitable for new and free to play players. Even though Raiden’s strongest attacks are her burst mode, it requires a massive investment, that’s not that accessible for free to play players. On top of that, most ofRaiden Shogun’s Burst potential is locked behind C2 and C3. Such constellations for a five-star character takes more than 500 wishes on average, and up to 650 if you are unlucky. That amount is far beyond any free reward the game grants you; I don’t encourage spending hard-earned money to just unlock the damage potential of just one character. Especially if there we can make a build that will rely solely on her Elemental Skill and reactions which require no Constellations.
In our combo,Xianglingprovides Pyro aura, forRaiden Shogunto Overload every hit with her Elemental Skill. Then we useSucroseto buff Elemental Mastery, shred Pyro resistance, and gather enemies. The three characters go hand in hand to form the core of the team, then we have a flexible fourth slot to add more synergy.
Raiden ShogunElemental Skill is a unique talent, that has special properties that make this build viable. First of all, it’s a turret that stays on the field even after switching, similar to most Electro characters. However, it doesn’t require either normal attacks, or proximity range to trigger. Instead, it triggers when the enemy takes damage, any damage from any source. So it doesn’t need a dedicated “driver” character with rapid attack speed. Then this talent hits after the enemy has taken damage already, so Pyro hits establish Pyro aura first, before Raiden’s Electro ability lands. This ensures we always proc Overload with Raiden, not the opposite.
This build pairs well with a second team that doesn’t requireXiangling, obviously. So you can’t build reverse melt in the other half of the Abyss. However, with bothBennettandXingqiubeing free, you will have all kinds of teams accessible to you.
It ranges from Reverse Vaporize teams such as ones withDiluc,Yanfei, or theYoimiyaOver-Vaporize build, to Physical Teams such asEulaandRazor The Incredible Wolf. Other Overload teams that rely on Pyro carries such asYanfei The Smoky Scarlet Witchcan also work. You could also play any of Electro charged, Geo, or Anemo teams in the second half, and you have all the support characters available to you.
This is a pure Elemental Mastery build for theRaiden Shogun, where you put in everything to maximize transformative reactions. So we focus her to build on reaction-based damage stat, usingElemental Masteryon Sands,Elemental Masteryon Goblet, andElemental Masteryon Circlet.
If you’re using five-star artifacts on all slots, these three pieces would grantRaiden561EMbefore accounting for any other factor. You then can getEMsub stats on Flower and Goblet slots for an average additional 100-200EM.Then you have a weapon andSucroseinfluence to get moreEM, which can lead to an easy 900~1000EMbuild in the end. That amount is enough to pentuple Raiden’s Overload damage (multiply it by 500%). Then it can be further modified using theThundering Furyset (40%). Finally, it gets multiplied by a bonus from enemy resistance shred caused byXiangling’s skill and theViridescent Venererset.
This combination results in literally the highest Overload damage possible in-game, aside from certainKazuhabuilds. Overload then has high AOE capabilities, so DPS is multiplied by the number of enemies
Aside fromEM,we want to capitalize onRaiden Shogun’sEnergy Rechargethe reasons being high energy requirement forRaiden’s burst, and the scaling of the team’s energy regeneration. You will still have sub stats and your weapon forEnergyRecharge, and Raiden herself has anEnergy RechargeAscension stat. So it’s easy to hit 180~200% onERwithout anyERon the main stat.
If you have spare stats after building allEMandER, you can get an extraCrit Ratewhich I’d recommend getting it up to 25% to maintain a 1:2 ratio with a default 50 Crit Damage. An% Attackstat is not a bad idea as well, since you still do direct damage from all your Skill ticks.
Raiden is aPolearmuser, and she has very strong options for both free to play and spender players. In the weapon slot, we can either focus onEMor anERstat, with theEMproviding higher damage.
Note thatXianglingalso uses aPolearm, contesting with Raiden on which weapon to use. You have to consider how would you equip them both. However, sinceXianglingdoesn’t proc reactions, you’re better off giving Raiden anEMlance instead, andXianglinganERone
Craftable Four Star Weapons
Kitain Cross Spearis a craftablePolearm, you get its schematic from a quest in the Inazuma region. It hasElemental Masteryas a sub stat, which is exactly what our build needs. Then it has a passive that helps generate some energy back for the wielder. It’s the best free weapon, especially at high refinement, to reduce the Energy requirement for Raiden. It allows her to run as low as 170~180% ER.
Hold toKitain Cross Spear, and replace it only if you have betterEMweapon.
Gacha 4 Star Weapons
Raiden has a good gacha alternative inDragon’s Bane, which is anotherEMweapon. It has a higher EM stat and a damage multiplier against enemies affected by Hydro or Pyro. This multiplier starts at20%at R1 and goes up to36% at R5. Considering Raiden still does direct damage with her Skill hits, and an initial hit of Burst (13% of her total DPS), this stat is not a waste.
If you do a rotation properly and have enough Energy to cast all team bursts on cooldown, then Dragon’s Bane will be the exact best in slot weapon for anEndless Overloadbuild.
To check the damage calculations behind this conclusion, feel free to take a look at myRaiden weapons Google spreadsheet.
Other Alternatives
Every other weapon alternative provides less DPS for the Raiden Endless Overload build. However, while levelling you want to use a weapon with someEnergy Rechargeas it will help in giving a smoother rotation, and add consistency while you build your artifacts.
BothThe CatchandSkyward Spineare nice weapons if you have them, as well as being useable as endgame weapons. Though, you might want to useThe Catchon Xiangling, if you have no better option for her. SeeXiangling’s section down below.
Figuring out how to customize yourArtifactscan be quite challenging, as there are so many components when it comes to making a Build in Genshin Impact and generally it takes some trial and error before getting it right. With the continuous release of new artifacts every couple of patches, things do get a bit complicated, but in this section, I will save you some time as I’ve set this up for maximum performance for thisEndless Overloadbuild.
2Wanderer’s Troupe+ 3 Random
This combination is the easiest set to build in the entire game as you only need two pieces of a specific set, then you pick the top best three pieces of any random set. This is intended to maximize theEMstat, and only in this combination can you virtually achieve 1200EM.
Flower and feature pieces are recommended to be part of the three random pieces, as this will allow you to pick the Flower and the feature with the highestEMsub stat. Other pieces such as Goblet, Circlet, and Sands pieces all should haveEMon the main stat, and all main stats on five-star artifacts maximize the same value. Since sub stats on any piece don’t show the same kind of stat on the main stat, the only sub stats you can maximize here areEnergy Recharge,Crit, orAttack.
Thundering Fury
The next upgrade you may get at the endgame is 4 pieces of theThundering Furyset. The two-piece bonus adds some negligible Electro Damage, but the true buff you get from the four-piece bonus is 40% to Overload Damage. Raiden’s entire build revolves around causing Overload, so this bonus is a jewel!
The Overload multiplier gets an additional bonus from EM, soThundering Furyonly gives a small increase over 2 pieces of theWanderer’s Troupeset. However, this increase is the only increase you can get from having this artifact bonus, everything else is actually worse off.
Crimson Witch of Flames
Usually, you wouldn’t put a Pyro set on an Electro character, let alone The Electro ArchonRaiden Shogunherself, making this an unusual choice at first glance. However, theCrimson Witch of Flamesset adds a 40% Overload bonus, similar toThundering Fury. So if you are already farming the domain forCrimson Witch of Flames, and got these pieces with a goodEMbonus, go ahead and use them. The only downside of using it overThundering Fury, is the 15% Electro Damage bonus, which has a minimum effect on our build.
To examine the in-depth comparison between these three artifact sets, check out myRaiden Artifact Google Sheet.
Performs up to 5 consecutive spear strikes. These strikes are physical in nature, and so we don’t level or use this talent. Instead, after Burst,Raiden Shogunconverts all her attacks into an “Elemental Burst” type, so she scales her damage with the Elemental Burst Talent level, and modifiers that increase Burst damage as well as Electro Damage.
This conversion doesn’t inherit the Normal Attack pattern or animation, since Normal Attacks are used with a spear and Normal attacks in Burst mode are used with the sword Raiden pulls from her chest. It inherits the attack speed modifiers though, from a weapon such asSkyward Spine. It can still proc certain attacks from characters who are off-field, such asXingqiu’s Burst, orFischl’s Skill. On other hand, it can’t proc other attacks such asBeidou’s Burst, nor ElectroTraveler’s burst.
In Burst mode, Raiden’s normal attacks regenerate Energy for the entire team. so even though these attacks don’t do much damage, we still need to use Raiden to deal some Normal Attacks in order to fill the energy for the team. We have two kinds of rotations, one where Raiden can use 3 Normal Attacks in a row and 1 Charged Attack before switching (1N3C). The other way is where she can go for two sets of 4 Normal Attacks and 1 Charged (2N4C). The reason we don’t go for more attacks is that Raiden can apply Electro too fast during her burst, and it threatens to take over the Pyro aura, and messes with reactions.
The version where we do a combo to prioritize switching out fast to castXiangling’s Skill, to debuff enemies. Also, give the healer some field time to maximize damage from theOcean-Hued Clamset. The longer version delays the second cast ofXiangling’s Skill in favor of recovering more energy for the party.
Transcendence: Baleful Omen
The Elemental Skill is the main utility of the Overload build. It summons a turret-likeFischlattack, but instead of deploying it directly on the field, it attaches to the active character and deals a joint attack whenever the enemy takes damage. This unique mechanic allows it to synergize well with other turrets that deal damage on their own. It also guarantees that Raiden hits last since it only activates after the enemy has already taken damage. That makes it easier to apply Pyro first withXianglingBurst ticks, and then proc Overload reaction with Raiden joint attack.
The cooldown of joint attacks are merely 0.9 seconds, and it has 25 seconds of uptime, on a 10-second cooldown. That guarantees 100% uptime, and in 24-second rotations it can hit over 26 times. However, there are certain mechanics to ensure you can’t abuse the constant ticks, an internal cooldown (ICD) upon Electro application of joint attacks. Raiden’s Skill follows the standard ICD of three hits or 2.5 seconds between each electro application upon a single target.
This effectively eliminates most of the potential of this build to concentrate on single targets or bosses. But it doesn’t hinder its AOE potential as much as you would think, because the internal cooldown is not shared between enemies. Going against a group of enemies will you only need to apply Electro on one enemy that is affected by Pyro in order to proc an Overload explosion. Then the AOE from Overload will catch all other enemies in the blast. That AOE playstyle requires constant Pyro application in AOE though, so we can utilize Anemo units to accomplish that. Since Anemo units scale well with EM, it makes for a decent comp.
However, verify the initial hit from the Elemental Skill does not hit any enemies at the start of the fight. The initial hit applies a very strong Electro Aura that you will have a hard time replacing with Pyro.
Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu
The infamous Elemental Burst of Raiden and the secret art of the Electro Archon is the Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu. It’s primarily four talents in one, as it converts normal attacks into burst damage, boosting it. It then regenerates energy for the entire team, gaining resistance to interruptions, and immunity to Electro-Charged damage. Finally, it allows other team members to build ‘resolve’ stacks for Raiden, and upon burst, gain damage bonus based on these resolve stacks.
Unfortunately, we can’t make use of all these effects with the Elemental Mastery Raiden build. But we still need the Burst to regenerate Energy for the team at least. So this talent is still relevant, and worth leveling.
Using Burst during bothXianglingandSucrose’s Pyro infused Burst, to make sure Raiden’s rapid electro application doesn’t override the Pyro aura on enemies.
Note that Raiden’s passiveEnlightened Oneallows her to generate more energy for the team, based on her own Energy Recharge stat. So even if we don’t build for damage scaling, Energy Recharge on Raiden is still very important to buff the entire team.
Genshin Impacthas a unique playstyle that relies on switching characters and chaining combos across these characters. So a solid part of theEndless Overload Raiden buildis knowing which characters will accompany her, and what roles they will play.
In this section, I’ll fill you in on some of the best characters that synergize well with this build. It’s universally recommended for you to use a five-star support character, but our build could be done with four star characters only if needs be. That doesn’t mean you can’t get upgrades from five-star characters, because you could argue a special case for some Anemo units such asVentiorKazuha. However, I still recommend using a healer in the fourth slot instead.
HavingXianglingat C4 is highly recommended for this team setup. That’s an easy requirement to meet sinceXianglingis a guaranteed character from clearing the Spiral Abyss third floor. She has been featured in many limited banners, and older players will have enough copies of her by now.
Unlike most other builds,Xianglingin this build requires more than her Elemental Burst to function. For Raiden to proc Overload, we need a constant Pyro Aura, with up to 100% uptime. However,Xianglingas a sole Pyro unit can’t maintain that as at C4, her burst stays up for 14 seconds with a 20 second cooldown. That leaves a huge gap to fill, and that’s where the combination of her Elemental Skill and Anemo units comes into play.
If we optimize the rotation,Xianglingcan throw her Guoba bear into the battle twice in a rotation. Once before her Burst, and once more after her Burst ends. In both instances, we have to use the Anemo character to Swirl and spread the Pyro aura, and with eitherSucrose,Sayu, orKazuha’s Skill, we can achieve that.
Xiangling’s burst has a high Energy cost of 80, but theEmblem of Severed FateArtifact set solves the entire problem, as well as adding some additional damage to her. We buildXianglingas a support and sub DPS, with good weapons and artifacts. She can snapshot the attack buff fromThrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, and the damage increase lasts for the entire duration. She also gains the benefit from Pyro resistance shred fromViridescent Venerer. She will not cause any reactions, besides the odd Overloads that happen when Raiden applies large amounts of Electro, but ideally we don’t want her to cause any reactions.
For the main stat, we give her aCrit Rate/Crit DamageCirclet, aPyro Damage BonusGoblet, and anEnergy RechargeSands. For sub stats, we take all% Attack,Crit Rate/Crit Damage,andEnergy Rechargewe can get.
As a sole Pyro, the Energy requirement forXianglinggoes much higher than usual. A part of it could be covered byRaiden Shogun’s energy regeneration, but only a portion. She needs to get her Energy recharged from Artifacts and weapons. I’m personally building over 230%Energy RechargeforXianglingin this team, to be certain she can burst on cooldown after the first rotation. However, you may get away with 215%ERin theSayuvariation of the build. You can also go below 200%ERif you are using theFavonius LanceonXiangling. When it comes down to it, it’s better to test for yourself, and see what’s sufficient for you.
You also want to maintain 1:2 Crit Rate : Crit Damage ratio, accounting for the 12% Crit Rate fromThe Catchif you use it.
In recent patches, the number of Polearm choices forXianglinghas increased a lot and she’s got so much flexibility with them. New weapons such asThe Catchcan be the best option forXianglingas sub dps role. In Overload team,The Catchis better used onXianglingthan Raiden, since Raiden scales better with Elemental Mastery.
Xianglingcan do well with theFavonius Lance, however, especially at high refinement, it provides the entire party with energy particles. It has a high base attack among four-star weapons, and a decentEnergy Rechargesub stat, which would double down as more Burst uptime, and more damage withEmblem of Severed Fate.If you have theFavonius Lanceat high refinement,Xianglingcan use it in case it would allow you to switch to%Attackon Sands. If it doesn’t, you’d better stick withThe Catchfor more DPS.
Another pure DPS option is the limited polearm,Wavebreaker’s Fin, especially at high refinement. The weapon scales up with the Energy cost of the entire party, and this Overload team has the absolute highest energy cost in the game. WithRaiden Shoguncosting 90 Energy, and the three other slots costing 80 each, the total cost goes up to 330. That grants the wielder ofWavebreaker’s Finthe maximum damage multiplier of 79% at max refinement, and beats most five-star weapon options.
Emblem of Severed Fatehas become a standard artifact set forXianglingin the support role. It’s especially best in slot ifXianglingis not performing reactions to justify other Pyro sets. In this build, as a sole Pyro character,Xianglinghas a very high energy recharge requirement, soEmblem of Severed Fateis a natural fit.
There’s no competition overEmblem of Severed Fatein this team, soXianglinghas to get the best pieces of the set to pump up her damage.
Any team relying on reactions to deal damage can benefit greatly from the use ofSucrosein the team. ThisEndless Overload Raidenteam hasSucroseas the backbone for all reactions, or you could say that she is the glue that makes the team stick together. First, you have to Swirl Pyro before any reactions occur, shredding Pyro resistance throughViridescent Venerer, and share theEMbonus with the entire team. So you needSucroseto be at C1 at least, to get two Casts of her Elemental Skill.
As for maximum damage, you have to Swirl Guoba himself, right before he hits enemies. That way, you spread Pyro before the first tick of Raiden’s skill hits the enemies.
Then we useSucrose’s Elemental Burst to infuse Pyro as well, so for 8 seconds, Sucrose gathers enemies and applies AOE Pyro. This part is very crucial to allow Raiden to Burst, without Electro taking over Pyro aura. Raiden applies so much Electro with Burst, so Sucrose’s Pyro infused Burst on top ofXiangling’s Burst should compensate for it.
The gathering ofSucrose’s Burst is also important to at least keep enemies in proximity for the AOE. That’s a counter measure to deal with the constant knockback from Overload hits.
It’s important to note that upgradingSucrose’s talent skills add very little value. Instead, spend your resin to acquire Ascension material and level her up to 90. That gives much more value to your resources.
Sucrosebuild’s is typical to every other team she’s in, we go fullEMon all slots, Goblet, Headpiece, and Sands. That’s meant to maximize the Swirl reaction damage ofSucrose, and EM sharing buff for the team. Swirl damage is not affected by Attack or Crit stats, so we fully ignore them. On top of that, the Swirl reaction is affected by character level, soSucroseis one of the characters we can level up all the way to 90.
For sub stats, you always need moreEM, andEnergy Recharge. Everything else is irrelevant.
Since this team doesn’t haveBennett, and lacks many sources of Attack buffing, we useThrilling Tales of Dragon SlayersonSucrose. The weapon gives a 48% Attack buff for the next character switched in after the wielder, so we feed this buff toXiangling. It goes well with our rotation of casting Sucrose’s Skill, then switching toXiangling, avoiding additional hassle.
This weapon doesn’t need a high level to function, as it gives the same buff from level one. So you can save your resources and not level it.
If you are building a full AttackSayu, with huge DPS and healing, feeding her theThrilling Tales of Dragon Slayersbuff becomes an option. However, if you don’t use an Anemo healer, and go for eitherKokomiorBarbara, you can give either of them the buff. That leavesSucrosewith the option to use an EM weapon, such asMappa Mareor better yet,Sacrificial Fragments. That will alter the rotation a bit, but provides a higher EM buff for the team, and higher swirl damage forSucrose.
Sucroseneeds theViridescent Venererhere to shred Pyro resistance for all Raiden Overload damage,Xiangling’s burst damage, andSucrose’s Pyro infused Burst. It requiresSucroseto be an active character on the field to proc the reaction and shred resistance.
This debuff lasts for 10 seconds, so you have to get back toSucrosewithin 10 seconds of switching her out in order to refresh the duration. If yourSucroseis at C2 or higher, you can count two seconds afterSucrose’s burst ends. This is a good time to get out of the Raiden’s Burst to get back toXiangling(for Guoba’s second cast) and then switching toSucrose.
Viridescent Venereralso buffs Sucrose’s swirl damage, the same way theThundering Furybuff deals Overload damage. It gives a higher modifier of 60% damage though, so if fully built,Sucrosecan contribute a lot to the team’s total DPS.
The fourth slot in the team is more flexible and can be filled with several options. Whether you pick a second Pyro unit to apply additional Pyro, or go for a Hydro healer with the intention of Forward Vaporize Hydro charged attacks. Or even go for a passive healer that can build up good damage with theOcean-Hued Clamset. All of these options are valid, but in my opinion,Sayuis the strongest of them all, with more synergy than at first glance.
First of all,Sayuis a healer, which means that she can build damage with theOcean-Hued Clamwith sufficient investment, as well as keeping your team alive. But being an Anemo character, adds a further perk to the team which is Anemo Resonance. Anemo Resonance is rarely used outside of a Xiao team, but it’s very strong and very subtle if used in the right circumstances. It reduces stamina consumption by 15%, increases Movement SPD by 10%, and Shortens Skill CD by 5%.
All of these are nice quality of life features, but Reducing cooldown is a huge damage increase as well. It effectively cuts 1 second of the cooldown from all ofSayu’s Burst attacks,Xiangling’s, andSucrose’s. Effectively resulting in a rotation that’s three seconds shorter, with a higher percentage of uptime for all talents. So instead of a 24 second rotation, you can compress your rotation into 22 or 21 seconds, resulting in a significant damage per second increase.
On top of this,Sayuis capable of infusing Pyro in her hold version of the Elemental Skill. That allows her to fill the gaps betweenXianglingandSucrose’s bursts, as she can infuse Pyro from Guoba alone while Burst remains on cooldown. So you get to apply Pyro much faster, allowing more hits of Raiden to Overload.
EM scaling
Finally, when you getSayuto C6, eventually, she will scale her healing with EM as well as Attack. That means she will benefit fromSucrose’s EM buff for both healing and dealing damage, resulting in more team DPS.
If you don’t use theOcean-Hued Clamset for damage, you can go with a full EM build onSayuas well, to maximize Swirl damage similar toSucrose.
Sayu’s Place in Rotation
You always want to useSayuafter Raiden’s Burst, and after the second cast ofXiangling’s Skill, to infuse her skill with Pyro from Guoba. It’s the exact time when most team talents are on cooldown, and you have to fill the gap. You also need to cast Sayu’sskillafter castingBurst, to allow her skill to generate energy for her Burst. This is also to make sure she doesn’t die while going sonic on enemies at melee range.
Her Burst has a 12 second duration, on a 20 second cooldown. That means you don’t get to enjoy the full uptime, nor the full uptime of healing. So you’d better save it for the second half of the rotation (after Raiden’s burst), to heal allies who already have taken damage, and to add little Swirl reaction while Sucrose’s talents are on cooldown. It causesSayunot to benefit from several energy particles generated early in the rotation and rises her ER requirement a little.
At zero Constellations,Sayuscales her healing mainly with anAttackstat. HerElemental Burstticks every 1.7 seconds, and either: heals or damage enemies, while healing scales onAttack.Additionally, triggering a Swirl reaction will letSayuhave an extra heal that scales with theEMstat, but only whileSayu’s on the field. So if you buildSayuusing low constellations, you need to build for%Attackon Goblet,%Attackon Sands, and aHealing Bonuson Circlet. Or you could getEnergy Rechargeon Sands instead if you are using a weapon with an Attack bonus.
The first Constellation that unlocks the ability for herElemental Burstis to heal and deal damage simultaneously, causing more healing and damage overall. However, it’s her sixth Constellation that unlocks all ofSayu’s full potential in this build. It adds further scaling to both damage and healing, based on herEMstat. So you should go for fullEMon Goblet, Sands, and Circlet if you can.
For sub stats, you want to get moreEM,%Attack,and as muchEnergy Rechargeas you can get. With a proper rotation, you cut the Energy Recharge requirement of Sayu to 140~150%. This goes even lower while usingKatsuragikiri NagamasaClaymore. The weapon provides 46% ER on its own, so you don’t need any ER from sub stats.
Sayu is the sole Claymore user in the team, so you’re able to give her any choice among a wide range of support or DPS weapons.Katsuragikiri Nagamasais one weapon that solves all energy forSayu, allowing her to go full EM, or Attack, but it’s not the only weapon. A better ER weapon is the infamous five starSkyward Pride.
Sayucan also go for either an EM weapon, or Attack weapon, as both work to scale her damage and healing. For EM, there are two strong options, the three starBloodtainted Greatsword, which provides the highest EM in the Claymore category. There’s alsoRainslasherfor the higher base attack, and slightly less EM, which is better due to the lack of Attack buff.
For Attack weapons, there are even stronger weapons forSayu. From the event reward,Luxurious Sea-Lord, to the limitedAkuoumaru, and finally the five starWolf’s Gravestone. All are solid weapons that can do better than craftable weapons. Especially theWolf’s Gravestoneweapon which givesSayuherself the highest damage and healing outcome; and can buff all allies with another Attack buff.

Sayucan useViridescent Venererhere, however, it’s inferior to the new healing set,Ocean-Hued Clamin both damage and healing. In terms of team buffs, the set bonus is already applied withSucrose, and it can’t stack by itself; soViridescent Venereris wasted onSayu.
If you care about team buffing,Sayucan use theInstructoroption, for less Sayu damage and healing, adding more Raiden Overload damage. Or better still, you should just stick withOcean-Hued Clamand enjoy a much smoother gameplay experience.
Sayucan stay on the field for up to seven seconds while holding her Skill, which is important to continue applying Pyro aura. Between this active field time, and off-field Burst heals,Ocean-Hued Clamwill build up decent numbers, turning every three seconds into AOE damage. Even on single targets, a total new damage source such as theOcean-Hued Clamis much higher than any increased existing damage source thatSayualready boosts.
