A Genshin Impact fan shares an impressive pair of sneakers inspired by the Inazuma Archon Raiden Shogun. The game's main storyline revolves around its uniquely designed playable characters which often inspire fans to replicate their appearance in real life.
Even though Raiden Shogun was released back in update 2.1, which was over a year ago, she remains one of the most popular characters in the game and a must-have for a lot of players. She is one of the seven Genshin Impact Archons whose main job is to watch over their respective regions.
A Reddit user by the name HuruTheBear has shared a pair of sneakers that are repainted to fit Raiden Shogun's overall design. Fans seem to love the sneakers as the post reached almost 600 upvotes with many comments wondering why HoYoverse does not include character-themed footwear as part of the merchandise. Redditor HuruTheBear is known in the community for creating similar types of projects that always get a lot of upvotes on the game's official subreddit. One of the reasons why the design gathered a lot of attention is probably because it's based on the Electro Archon Raiden Shogun.
A Recent Genshin Impact poll confirmed that she is the by far most popular female character in the roster. Her fame was also proven by the recent revenue reports which revealed that the Raiden Shogun and Ayato double banner re-run broke the game's overall sales record. While many fans expected the banner to do well when it comes to revenue, it was hard to guess that a banner cycle that includes two re-runs would take the first place on the list of most successful banners.
There are many reasons why players want to add Raiden to their roster whenever she's available. She is one of the rare characters in Genshin Impact that can fill almost every role within a team composition. Her Elemental Skill, Transcendence: Baleful Omen, allows her to deal tons of damage even when she gets swapped out which makes her an S-tier off-field support.
The Electro Archon is also a very free-to-play friendly character as players don't need to invest tons of resources in order for her to perform well. However, players who want to get her DPS potential to the next level should try to acquire her first two constellations. Raiden's go-to weapon is Engulfing Lightning, but players can also use The Catch, which is a free polearm that can be obtained by completing a couple of quests.
Genshin Impact is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is currently under development.
