Should You Pull?YES

Razor is a solid Electro Main DPS with strong team options; worth pulling if you enjoy the playstyle.

Razor is a 4-star Electro character armed with a claymore in Genshin Impact. He focuses on brawling with physical damage attacks, with added Electro damage from his abilities. While paired with off-field supports to add elemental reactions to his capabilities, his damage is quite impressive. Razor is one of the best users of Superconduct, adding to his damage output with Electro focused reactions.

Sustain

This is a great mix of elemental reactions, shielding and some limited healing. Razor and Fischl's Nightrider provide some excellent synergy on the battlefield and with Xingqiu's Hydro element used in combination with Diona's Icy Paws to freeze enemies. With this combination on the field, we can trigger Superconduct with Razor's Electro skills.

Character Synergy
Razor
RazorMain DPS

Razor functions as a Physical-focused Main DPS, using his Burst to increase attack speed and apply Electro. He relies on his team to provide Superconduct and off-field damage support.

Xingqiu
XingqiuSupport

Xingqiu's Burst provides Hydro coordination and damage reduction, enabling Electro-Charged reactions. This adds significant off-field pressure while Razor occupies the field.

Fischl
FischlSupport

Fischl acts as a battery for Razor, generating Electro particles via Oz to ensure his Burst uptime. Her off-field damage complements Razor's on-field Physical playstyle.

Diona
DionaSustain

Diona provides the necessary Cryo application to trigger Superconduct, which shreds enemy Physical RES for Razor. Her shield and healing also keep the fragile Razor protected during his Burst.
