Flins vs Raiden Shogun
Nod-Krai Electro speed vs. the Eternal Battery
TL;DR — Quick Pick
Pick Flins if…
- When you want a fast, mobile Electro attacker on-field
- In teams where you don't want to worry about Resolve stacks
- If you prefer a character whose damage isn't locked behind a Burst
Pick Raiden Shogun if…
- To solve all energy problems for your entire team
- When you want the single most versatile Electro unit in the game
- In 'National' team variants for maximum efficiency
Raiden Shogun is the ultimate Electro unit for her utility alone. Flins offers a fun, fast-paced alternative for on-field combat, but can't match Raiden's impact on team-wide energy and damage.
At a Glance
Strengths & Weaknesses
Flins
- Uses several 4-Star supports which are much less contested giving you more team flexibility in endgame modes.
- High DPS with room to grow further as more Nod-Krai supports are released.
- Ineffa is key to Flins's teams, offering major DPS causing a large difference in performance without Ineffa.
- Most team comps only have shielding leaving Flins vulnerable to chip damage or corrosion.
Raiden Shogun
- Unmatched team battery — restores energy to all party members after her Burst
- Passive off-field Electro DMG and Burst DMG buff from her Skill
- On-field Burst damage is extremely high with proper ER investment
- Requires very high ER% (250–300%) for maximum Burst output — heavy investment in ER substats
- Burst restores limited energy if team Burst costs are low — needs high-cost Burst teammates
- On-field Burst window (7 hits) is time-locked and cannot be extended
Shared Team Members
With Flins
Flins relies on Bennett's massive ATK buff to maximize the damage of his spear strikes and high-speed maneuvers. Bennett's healing also provides a safety net for Flins as he engages in fast-paced melee combat.
With Raiden Shogun
The synergy between Bennett and Raiden Shogun is legendary, as Raiden's Burst window perfectly aligns with Bennett's ATK buff. Bennett also helps battery Raiden's team through Pyro particles and provides the sustain needed during her on-field duration.
