Raiden Shogun Baal Rating
The Raiden Shogun has the highest rating overall with her best point as a support for the party. She is quite great against bosses and mobs, but she has a low score with exploration. She offers high active and passive Electro damage, has a high Energy Recharge rate, increases the team’s Elemental Burst damage, and can regenerate Energy for the Team. Her weakness is that she can cook any kind of food and her skills will not work well against a certain character with the Electro element.
