This guide offers a step-by-step approach to defeating Raiden Shogun, officially known as Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto, in her weekly trounce domain, along with tips on strategies, recommended team compositions, and rewards.
Unlocking the Trounce Domain
To access this weekly boss fight, players must first complete Raiden Shogun’s second Story Quest, titled “Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II – Transient Dreams.”
- The first encounter with Raiden Shogun occurs during the quest but is a modified, non-failable version.
- Completing this quest unlocks the End of Oneiric Euthymia domain under the Grand Narukami Shrine on Narukami Island.
Recommended Team Composition
Healers:
Given Raiden Shogun’s high-damage attacks, healers play a crucial role in survival. Top choices include:
- Kokomi and Barbara – Provide consistent healing without relying on Elemental Bursts.
- Jean or Qiqi – Excellent options for burst healing and cleansing effects.
DPS Characters:
For optimal damage output, focus on Cryo and Pyro characters to break her Electro shield quickly:
- Ganyu and Kamisato Ayaka (Cryo) – Effective against her shield with high burst damage.
- Hu Tao and Yoimiya (Pyro) – Great for sustained damage output.
Electro Characters:
Electro users help counter Flowers of Remembrance, an important mechanic in the fight. Consider adding Raiden Shogun herself for synergy.
Attack Patterns and Strategies
1. Phase One – Stance Shifts:
Raiden Shogun alternates between two stances:
- Musou Isshin (Sword Stance): Focuses on quick, high-damage melee combos.
- Engulfing Lightning (Polearm Stance): Utilizes longer-range strikes with deadly precision.
Tip: Stay mobile and dodge AoE attacks by running to the edge of the arena.
2. Baleful Shadowlord Transformation:
Once her Ominous Destiny meter fills, Raiden Shogun enters this powerful state.
- Avoid Charged Strikes: Stay close to dodge her dash attacks, but beware of AoE damage.
- Counter Giant Fist Attacks: Look out for visual cues like shadows and sparks before the ground erupts.
3. Ultimate Attack – Flowers of Remembrance:
- Raiden Shogun disappears into a void and prepares a lethal strike.
- Players must charge the orb (Flowers of Remembrance) using Electro attacks to deploy a shield.
- Failure to activate the shield leads to instant death for active characters.
Tip: Once Raiden Shogun is stunned, unleash Elemental Bursts to maximize damage during this window.
