Genshin Impact Razor
What’s the best Genshin Razor build?
Razor is a unique little wolf cub who wields a hefty claymore capable of dishing out some substantial damage. Like Genshin Impact’s Cyno, he’s not very flexible in his role, and is a bit of a ‘selfish’ main DPS who requires well-invested, off-field supports and needs plenty of field time due to his long lasting ult.
His kit may appear simple at first, but has plenty of little nuances that you need to familiarise yourself with in order to understand the best rotation for your team comp.
However, with his unique combination of heavy-hitting physical damage and electro application, he’s capable of becoming a real powerhouse damage dealer that’s very hard to counter, especially with a well-built support to take care of him.
What are the best Genshin Razor weapons?
Wolf’s Gravestone is hands down the best claymore for Razor, with high base attack, an attack% boost, and a handy passive.
Serpent Spine is the best four-star option for Razor, with high crit rate and a substantial damage bonus offered through its skill. However, if you’re F2P, Prototype Archaic offers solid base and burst damage and is craftable at the blacksmith.
| Weapon | Effect |
| Wolf’s Gravestone | Base stat: attack Skill: increases attack by 20%. Attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ attack by 40% for 12 seconds. This can only occur once every 30 seconds |
| Serpent Spine | Base effect: crit rate Skill: every four seconds the wielder is on field, they deal 6% more damage and 3% more damage. This effect has a maximum of five stacks and does not reset if the character leaves the field, thou you lose one stack when the wielder takes damage |
| Prototype Archaic | Base stat: attack Skill: normal and charged attacks have a 50% chance to deal an additional 480% attack damage to nearby enemies. This effect can only occur once every 15 seconds |
What are the best Genshin artifacts?
Though it may sound strange, Pale Flame is Razor’s current best in slot set, dramatically overtaking Gladiator’s Finale and thunder-based options.
Pale Flame grants a hefty boost to his physical damage, and also applies to his other physical damage attacks such as his wolvenstrike plunges. However, it does restrict how you use his skill, relying on you only tapping it and saving the charged skill dor directly before or near the end of his burst rotation to ensure the longest uptime on its skill.
Of course, if you’re struggling to farm a full set of Pale Flame with decent stats, four pieces of Gladiator’s Finale is still a strong choice, and remains Razor’s most popular set due to its unconditional basic attack bonus and its skill’s ability to boost the physical damage of your normal attacks.
| Artifact set | Effect |
| Pale Flame | Two equipped: physical damage +25% Four equipped: when an elemental skill hits an opponent, attack increases by 9% for seven seconds. This effect stacks up to two times, and can trigger once every 0.3 seconds. Once you reach two stacks, the two-set effect increases by 100% |
| Gladiator’s Finale | Two equipped: Increases attack by 18% Four equipped: If the wielder of this set uses a sword, claymore, or polearm, their normal attack damage is increased by 35% |
