Embarking on a journey through Genshin Impact's Inazuma region with a powerful physical damage dealer? You're in the right place. Optimizing your character build in Genshin Impact: Pirate: Part II (also known as P5R) can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. Let's navigate through the best physical damage build, ensuring you make the most of your elements and skills.

Before we dive in, remember that building a character involves understanding their base stats, weapons, artifacts, and constellations. We'll focus on the 4-star Electro Archon, Ei, and the 5-star Hydro Archon, Raiden, as they deliver exceptional physical damage. Let's explore their optimal builds and why they shine in physical damage dealer roles.

The Ei (National Treasure) Physical Damage Build
Ei, the Electro Archon and the Central Unit, excels in physical damage builds due to her passive scaling and elemental reactions. Her normal and charged attacks deal physical damage, making her an excellent choice for physical damage dealer roles.

Her Elemental Skill, "Lemniscatic Wind," creates a small, spinning windstone that deals continuous Electro damage, and her Elemental Burst, "Secret Art of the Sacrificial Bell," creates a large bell-shaped area, dealing massive Electro damage with increased attack power.
Weapons

Aqua Simulacra is an excellent choice for Ei's physical damage build, as it has a high base attack and increases normal and charged attacks damage. Its special effect, "Focalors," further boosts normal and charged attacks, making it an ideal weapon for Ei.
Alternatively, you can use The Stringless bow, which has a base attack stat and provides increased normal and charged attacks damage with its special effect, "Harmonic Unleashing." This makes it a viable option for physical damage builds, especially if you have stronger bow users in your team.
Artifacts

Ei's ideal artifact set is 4-piece Paladin's Faith, which increases normal and charged attacks' damage by 18% for all party members below 70% health. This set is perfect for physical damage dealer builds that often need to force enemies to attack and trigger Paladin's Might.
For substats, prioritize main stats such as damage bonus (%) > energy recharge > elemental mastery, followed by critical damage or critical rate. Ensure you have enough energy recharge to maintain Elemental Burst usage.
The Raiden (Ei, Shogun's Might) Physical Damage Build

Raiden, the Hydro Archon, serves as an exceptional physical damage dealer and support. Her weapons, the Mistsplitter Reconnect and Engulfing Lightning, provide significant physical damage increases, making her an excellent choice for physical damage builds.
Her Elemental Skill, "Secret Art:lungenlied," creates a field of lightning that deals Electro damage to enemies within it. Her Elemental Burst, "Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu," strikes clashes of thunder, dealing massive Electro damage, andusk should her normal or charged attacks hit enemies, providing significant damage bonus.







Weapons
Mistsplitter Reconnect is an ideal weapon for Raiden's physical damage build, providing increased physical damage bonus and elemental skills damage with its special effect, "Fischer's Luncheon." This allows Raiden to deal continuous damage through her Elemental Skill.
Engulfing Lightning is another excellent option, providing increased Electro damage bonus and increased normal and charged attacks damage with its special effect, "Asterion Hold." This weapon allows Raiden to deal consistent damage and provide solid support to her team.
Artifacts
Raiden's best artifact set is 4-piece Wanderer's Troupe, which increases Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage by 15% for all party members. This set complements Raiden's ability to support and amplify physical damage dealt by her team.
For substats, prioritize main stats such as damage bonus (%) > energy recharge > elemental mastery, followed by critical damage or critical rate. Ensure you have enough energy recharge to maintain Elemental Burst usage and provide consistent support to your team.
Looking to maximize your physical damage output in P5R? Experiment with these optimal builds for Ei and Raiden, and enjoy unleashing havoc on the battlefield. As you grow stronger, adapt your build to suit your playstyle and party composition for the ultimate Genshin Impact experience. Happy adventures, Traveler!
