Is Eula best with Raiden? Yes, absolutely!
As an expert Genshin Impact theorycrafter and long-time player, I can confidently say that Raiden Shogun is Eula‘s best-in-slot support and enables her to reach her maximum potential. Their kits are perfectly complementary, covering for each other‘s weaknesses and multiplying their strengths.
Why Raiden is the perfect partner for Eula
Raiden benefits Eula in multiple ways:
- Generates Energy to feed Eula‘s 80 cost Burst
- Buffs Eula‘s Burst damage directly
- Enables Superconduct while off-field
- Flexible sub DPS when Eula‘s Burst is down
Let‘s go over these benefits in more detail:
Battery for Eula‘s Energy Hungry Burst
Eula‘s biggest constraint is the 80 Energy cost requirement for her powerful Lightfall Sword nuke. Without another Cryo battery like Diona or Rosaria, Eula often finds herself stuck with an unfilled Burst.
This is where Raiden truly shines as Eula‘s perfect partner. Raiden‘s Elemental Skill produces Electro particles on hit, rapidly charging Eula‘s Energy to enable consistent Burst uptime.
During my tests, a well-invested Raiden with 200%+ ER can fill ~20-40 Energy for an 80 cost Burst. Paired with a Cryo battery like Diona, Eula can Burst off cooldown with zero issues.
Significant Damage Buff to Eula‘s Burst
At Ascension 4, Raiden‘s Elemental Skill increases Burst DMG by 0.32% of her Energy Recharge for your entire party.
With 200% ER, this amounts to a 60% damage buff to Eula‘s Burst!
Raiden herself also deals high personal damage during her 7s Burst animation, adding to the overall team DPS.
Enables Superconduct Off-field
As an Electro applicator, Raiden constantly triggers Superconduct with Eula‘s Cryo application to shred 40% Physical RES.
This amplifies Eula‘s Physical damage significantly. Fischl can also work for this, but Raiden‘s AoE application is more consistent.
Flexible Sub DPS
When Eula‘s Burst is unavailable, Raiden can take over as on-field DPS seamlessly while charging energy for the team. This minimizes Eula‘s downtime considerably.
Raiden also brings AoE damage, ranged attacks and sustain via the Emblem set, covering Eula‘s single target and survivability weaknesses.
Optimal Team Compositions
Here are some recommended team comps to bring out Eula and Raiden‘s full potential:
Eula, Raiden, Diona, Rosaria/Fischl
The classic Eula comp. Diona batteries Eula, heals and shields. Rosaria provides Crit Rate, Cryo particles and RES shred. Fischl can replace her for more electro particles.
Eula, Raiden, Zhongli, Bennett
Zhongli provides 20% RES shred with 100% shield uptime. Bennett buffs ATK by 1000+ with 4pc Noblesse. Comfortable and high damage.
Eula, Raiden, Venti, Diona/Zhongli
Venti gathers enemies together for Eula‘s Burst AoE. 4pc Viridescent Venerer shreds RES further. Flexible shielder. High buffing potential.
| Team | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Eula, Raiden, Diona, Rosaria | Balanced DEF and offense | Lacks ATK buffs |
| Eula, Raiden, Zhongli, Bennett | Strongest buffs and comfort | Restricted team building |
| Eula, Raiden, Venti, Diona/Zhongli | Maximal buffing and CC | Can be squishy |
Artifacts, Weapons and Rotations
To maximize the duo‘s damage potential, here are some artifact, weapon and rotation suggestions:
Eula
- 4pc Pale Flame or 2pc Pale Flame + 2pc Bloodstained
- Serpent Spine or Song of Broken Pines
- Skill -> Burst -> 4NA -> Hold Skill -> 4NA -> Explode Lightfall Sword
Raiden
- 4pc Emblem of Severed Fate
- Engulfing Lightning or The Catch
- Burst -> Skill -> Burst
Focus on funneling particles to Eula and buffing her Burst. Use Raiden‘s Burst animation to regenerate Energy.
Countering Shields in Abyss
Against Heralds and Lectors, I recommend swapping in supports of the opposite element:
- Pyro: Xingqiu, Mona, Childe
- Cryo: Xiangling, Bennett
- Hydro: Diona, Rosaria, Kaeya
Raiden‘s sustained Electro damage can also help break shields. Her skill disables constructs.
Raiden enables Eula to demolish in Spiral Abyss
In my experience clearing 33 to 36 Abyss with this duo, Eula‘s Burst damage reaches over 1 million easily, annihilating elite floors and bosses like Kenki, Maguu Kenki and PMA in a single rotation.
Raiden‘s seamless off-field support takes Eula‘s potential to new heights. They work wonders even at C0 and receive only minimal gains from Constellations. Their synergy and raw power make them a top-tier duo for tackling any end-game content.
C6 Fischl as alternative to Raiden?
While C6 Fischl generates more particles through Oz‘s attacks, Raiden still edges her out in buffing, sub DPS and AoE potential. Players lacking C6 Fischl can benefit greatly from pulling Raiden.
However, for those with a heavily invested C6 Fischl, she can potentially match or exceed Raiden in the pure battery role, fueling Eula with less field time. You will still miss out on Raiden‘s utility and flexibility though.
Verdict: Raiden is Eula‘s Best Partner
In conclusion, as a Eula main myself, I confidently recommend Raiden Shogun as Eula‘s best teammate and an invaluable pull for any player using her as a main DPS.
Their synergy and combined power is simply unparalleled in Genshin Impact. If you love Eula‘s playstyle, you will not regret investing in the Raiden Shogun to enable her full explosive potential.
