Transcendence: Baleful OmenTranscendence: Baleful Omen
The Raiden Shogun unveils a shard of her Euthymia, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents, and granting nearby party members the Eye of Stormy Judgment.

Eye of Stormy Judgment
·When characters with this buff attack and deal DMG to opponents, the Eye will unleash a coordinated attack, dealing AoE Electro DMG at the opponent's position.
·Characters who gain the Eye of Stormy Judgment will have their Elemental Burst DMG increased based on the Energy Cost of the Elemental Burst during the Eye's duration.

The Eye can initiate one coordinated attack every 0.9s per party.
Coordinated attacks generated by characters not controlled by you deal 20% of the normal DMG.

Beings of great divinity might affect all that they survey, and the Electro Archon can manipulate the very inauspicious stars themselves to defend her retainers and bring a thundering sentence down on their foes.

Gathering truths unnumbered and wishes uncounted, the Raiden Shogun unleashes the Musou no Hitotachi and deals AoE Electro DMG, using Musou Isshin in combat for a certain duration afterward. The DMG dealt by Musou no Hitotachi and Musou Isshin's attacks will be increased based on the number of Chakra Desiderata's Resolve stacks consumed when this skill is used.

Musou Isshin
While in this state, the Raiden Shogun will wield her tachi in battle, while her Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be infused with Electro DMG, which cannot be overridden. When such attacks hit opponents, she will regenerate Energy for all nearby party members. Energy can be restored this way once every 1s, and this effect can be triggered 5 times throughout this skill's duration.
While in this state, the Raiden Shogun's resistance to interruption is increased, and she is immune to Electro-Charged reaction DMG.
While Musou Isshin is active, the Raiden Shogun's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will be considered Elemental Burst DMG.

The effects of Musou Isshin will be cleared when the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.

Chakra Desiderata
When nearby party members (excluding the Raiden Shogun herself) use their Elemental Bursts, the Raiden Shogun will build up Resolve stacks based on the Energy Cost of these Elemental Bursts.
The maximum number of Resolve stacks is 60.

The Resolve gained by Chakra Desiderata will be cleared 300s after the Raiden Shogun leaves the field.

This is the Raiden Shogun's new secret technique. Abandoning the void-like "Musou," she now shoulders a new "Musou" — the dreams and ambitions of all. Just as "shinsetsu," "the truth," also means "the new," so too has Inazuma entered a new chapter.

Character DetailsSince the dawn of life, humankind has always borne an intense yearning for and curiosity about the world. This is the anchor point of their cognition and is the foundation of all reason.
The world of the people of Inazuma is also thus. There, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain were primordial facts of life, as well as light, and the sea... and the Raiden Shogun.
Babes nestling in their mothers' arms hear tales of the Shogun's slaying of many gods and conquering of other races.
When young men and women roam the islands, they see the gorge split asunder by a blade of lightning and the pale, still-standing bones of the giant snake.
Soldiers take to the battlefield with "glory to the Shogun and her everlasting reign!" upon their lips.
The people work in contentment and peace, knowing that the Shogun and her loyal Tri-Commission are there.
The great name of the Raiden Shogun has long shaken off the shackles of mere life, becoming the eternal traditional belief of Inazuma.
People trust in this great name and its might, believing that their descendants shall witness the same sights, that the same faith will form the foundations of their inner worlds, and that this will pass on from generation to generation.
This is the eternal paradise that the Almighty Shogun promised her people.
Character Story 1The true name of the Raiden Shogun is "Raiden Ei."
In her long road, she has witnessed the price that Inazuma has had to pay for progress over the hundreds and thousands of years.
The happiest years of her life had passed her by, and those she once considered friends became her foes. In the end, she even lost the reason for which she had wielded her sword.
"Where there is progress, there must be loss."
Ei believed that this was the iron-clad rule of the world, with time as its merciless enforcer.
The greatest and most prosperous nation of men collapsed overnight, and even that most ancient Liyue Harbor would say farewell to its Geo Archon. The winds of parting came whistling in from the outer edge of time.
However resounding the Raiden Shogun's name, centuries later, millennia later... Someday, Inazuma would lose the protection of its deity.
As a warrior, she was wary of all foes. Even if that enemy was a crisis as intangible as time's passage, she had to find a countermeasure, a weapon she could use to defeat it in time.
Her answer? "Eternity." Only Eternity could freeze all things under the sky, make Inazuma truly deathless.
"Then, while things are still good, let us have stillness... Let us march towards Eternity."
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2
Character Story 2For beings with a perishable form of flesh to pursue Eternity, they must first solve the unavoidable problem of lifespan.
This limited time troubled Ei greatly, until one day when a mysterious technique came before her eyes as if by a stroke of fate.
Using such techniques, one could create intricate puppets indistinguishable from true life.
In theory, this puppet could perfectly imitate everything about Ei. It could surpass the limits of her lifespan and defend Inazuma forever. Yet, how could creating a copy of an Archon be a simple affair?
Ei conducted countless experiments to this effect, discarded a great many failed products, and spent an unimaginable amount of time and resources—
But at last, by her dogged pursuit and warrior's spirit, she was able to create a flawless puppet.
The newborn Raiden Shogun sat there silently, listening to Ei speak all about her, "her," and even about them. The future of Inazuma was here, inscribed upon a gorgeous blueprint.
The automaton had but one question to ask Ei: "There is no turning back from forsaking your form. Do you regret nothing?"
"Your existence is my answer."
Then, Ei transferred her consciousness into her blade, and thus was born the Plane of Euthymia.
* Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3
Character Story 3Before Raiden Ei became the Shogun, she was a samurai responsible for seeing that the previous Shogun's orders were carried out.
The previous Electro Archon, Raiden Makoto, was no great fighter, and the things Ei had charge over were mostly matters of warfare and slaughter. However, Ei also had moments of repose away from battle, sitting with her friends under the sakura trees and playing karuta.
Due to her character, Ei was always the most wooden player. She was never the final victor, nor did she ever have a taste of the prizes that the Kitsune Saiguu reserved for the winners.
Thus, she poured the effort that she put into swordsmanship into karuta practice, often pestering Makoto or Mikoshi Chiyo for karuta matches, or spending much time by moonlight reading the poetry inscribed on the cards out loud.
At last, the day came that under a sakura tree's shade, Ei would defeat opponent after opponent. Even the mighty tengu would be felled after a hard-fought battle, and thus was she crowned the champion.
Ei let out a victorious whoop at her victory, only to be greeted by the sounds of her friends' laughter. Only then did she realize that she had lost her usual composure entirely, before snapping both arms back down and reverting to her usual cool facade.
Of course, her friends did not intend to make sport of her. Indeed, they understood her character and the manner in which she had worked ever so hard to come out on top.
As for the Kitsune Saiguu, oh, how amused she looked as she presented Ei with some pastries.
"I said it was a reward, yes, but it was simply some hand-made cakes of mine. I didn't think that you would be so concerned about it, Ei. Well then, enjoy the spoils of your victory to your heart's content."
Ei was hardly one to be greedy for snacks. But as a samurai, she firmly believed that what she lost must be reclaimed. These pastries were more akin to a vindication of her desire to win.
—But it was not long before that cool demeanor of hers broke into a smile again. The cakes were lovely — just like the taste of victory. As for her clumsy attempts to hide that smile, one could only say that it was an entertaining sight all around for her friends.
To this day, Ei still often remembers that sakura tree.
...Even though she has not gone to see it in a long time, and even though no one sits under it anymore, she wishes that time might stop forever.

Character Story 4Ei still remembers the way in which Makoto greatly loved the scenery of Inazuma, its cuisine, and the stories of its people — and how she loved telling Ei all about them.
Though they both understood the concept of erosion well, Makoto was unlike Ei, who worried about the future more often. Instead, Makoto's energies were focused on the present.
"It is precisely because we know that this scene is but a fleeting shadow that we should enjoy it all the more."
Then, Ei could only smile wryly, realizing that she, the kagemusha, was even more old-fashioned than the real Raiden Shogun. She thought to herself that she must learn to be more leisurely, just like Makoto.
Yet the times changed all too quickly, all but catching Ei off guard. Before she knew it, her hands already held the blade that the dying Raiden Makoto had passed on to her.
This day, the kagemusha was now the true Raiden Shogun.
And it was on this day that Ei truly felt the agony of erosion.
As time marched forward inexorably, even this blade, this sakura... All life on Inazuma would fade before her eyes.
This was the foundation of Inazuma, and it was the thing that the Raiden Shogun must defend.
"If you look at it this way, thinking ahead is not meaningless, nor is it vain arrogance."
Having resolved herself, her life exceeded its mortal shell, and eternity descended upon the mortal plane.

Character Story 5One night, Raiden Ei entered a beautiful dreamscape while meditating.
Here, there was nothing left between heaven and earth but her, and a "her" that was akin to looking into a mirror.
The automaton's voice flowed into her ears like a sigh: "the eternity you resolved to establish in your heart has been shaken by the countless wishes of the people. Thus, you have become my enemy."
Back when she was creating the puppet, Ei had considered all the hidden risks involved.
She believed that anything was possible — including the worst-case scenario... in which she too would someday become a threat to Eternity.
But she had to press on. She had to reach Eternity. This, she would not permit to be stayed by any outside force.
The puppet's words were something that she had asked herself long ago:
"You believe your present self has greater certainty than your former self. Thus, you believe your present self is correct. Don't you?"
"But have you really been enlightened with new ideas? Or have you been degraded by irreversible erosion?"
Their faces were the same, but they spoke of different ideals. The battle with herself, with her past, would come someday.
But it was not this day. Ei knew well that she was not yet ready.
Her heart had been clear, and she would have remained in that state, but hearing the cries of her people, she had to command her feet to stop.
The sky above the mirror was no longer empty, and all about the silent halls, she heard the cry of crows. Dawn was coming. The samurai must take up her sword.
This dream was ever so real, and it, too, passed like a shadow.

Musou IsshinA sword that, once passed on, has accompanied Ei to this day.
This sword has had two wielders, and has witnessed both time and eternity.
It was born from Raiden Makoto's divine might, but it was never once sharpened. It took after its owner, of course, for Makoto was not one for battle. It was but a symbol, a sign of true peace.
The day Makoto passed on, it was given into Ei's hands. The sword was stained with blood, then, and as the blade drew its first taste of crimson, the dripping ichor was blown aside by wild winds and blazing thunder.
Makoto gave it the name Musou Isshin, and desired to have it witness an Inazuma as lovely as a dream and the noble hearts that dwell in this world.
Ei did not change its name. For she, too, had looked out over that vast scene of beauty, and the sight of it had engendered a stronger, purer dream in her own heart.
The aesthetic of lightning is precisely to capture that which is precious amidst fleeting transience.

GnosisBefore she came to dwell in the Plane of Euthymia permanently, Ei was troubled for a time concerning where she might store her Gnosis.
She no longer had any need of it, but such an important item could not simply be placed anywhere. She had initially intended to have it modified into a energy supply device, but no matter what she did, her techniques had no effect on the Gnosis at all.
And that was when she thought of someone: the cunning and clever Yae Miko. She was not precisely someone to be trusted, but she was in many ways also Ei's best choice.
Upon hearing this request, Miko could not help but joke: "Aren't you afraid that I might just sell this off?"
"You understand the value of a Gnosis. Even if you sold it, I trust that you would have exchanged it for something of equal value, and that is no easy price to pay."
With someone of Yae Miko's character, it would be no surprise if she ever sold the Gnosis, yes, but she would not allow herself to lose out in any such exchange.
Such, then, was the tacit agreement between the two old friends. Yae Miko understood Ei's intent and took the precious Gnosis with a smile.
"Well, this is your idea, not mine. Don't end up regretting this, now."

      • One of the best DPS but needs her C2? Just give her as much as possible EM and put Dendro & Hydro character in her team. She just need to cast her E Skill every 25 seconds.
        No ER requires, No Contellation, No Signature.
        Except you have much resources.

      • Yeah I knew about the leaks but all these posts are just about Raiden’s simps

        On another note those banners look awesome
        We could get Engulfing and thundering (or mistsplitter if Ayaka ends up alongside Raiden) on one banner
        And if Yoim and Raiden run together that means Chevy and Sara together, I’m gonna have a field day if that banner actually launches

        • because now people finally find her EM hyperbloom support, specially with Furina or future characters.
          She was considered by many (normie) players only as main DPS who needs c2 and insane artifacts to be usable. now she become more budget friendly as EM support.

  2. Raiden is decent and all but her mains need to stop inhaling too much copiums for claiming she can defeat a sovereign dragon 🤣 this is too delusional. You all simps need to pay more attention to the lore

    • I’m not too caught up on the Inazuma lore but wasn’t it Raiden who cleaved Yashiori Island?
      In terms of character power (in lore) Raiden is up there but I don’t think She’s stronger than Neuvilette

      • Personaly, I think Neuvillette has more raw power but Raiden is a warrior who trained for centuries, she is used to fight and she lived a war. I think she is stronger than him because she is a accomplished martialist and a better fighter.

        • Yeah Raiden definitely has more experience
          Neuvilette has the power to control an entire ocean, but that doesn’t change the fact Ei cleaved an island and caused an ecological disaster that persists centuries later
          I wonder how prime Zhongli compares to Neuvilette

          • If we can compared Ortell to Neuvielle, then we know the answer xD But I think Neuvillette is way stronger than Ortell so it makes the comparison more difficult. Prime Zhong is so powerful, and sealed so many other divinities, I tend to think he is stronger. Here again, he fought so many years during his very long life, experience is on his side too.
            I wonder how powerful would have been Neuvillette with the same war experience as Zhong !
