  1. I would like an electro healer at some point. BUT maybe not to be wasted on an Archon character save for maybe the Hydro Archon.

    I've noticed that most Archons exemplify or complement/further imbue other users of their element. All of the Anemo characters are pretty much crowd controllers mostly by sucking them into one space (sucrose, kazuha) or pushing them away (Traveler, Jean)( save for Xiao). Venti does the best of this. Geo characters create constructs (save for Noelle) of which through Zhong Li's pillar they all resonate together.

    SO what makes lightning users so unique and of which Baal could exemplify as well as be totally unique across the table as an Archon character.

    Considering how Lightning is relatively weak unless combined with other elements, maybe she can create her own elemental reactions (in that she can create some facsimile of fire for example that she can react with with lightning), as well as extend this ability in some way to other lightning users. My guess, but I do like her as a Polearm though it is a good point that we just had a polearm God in Zhong Li. If not Polearm I think the defacto would have to be sword, though my hope will stay with polearm unless they're willing to unveil a new weapon type.

  2. Took me a bit to think about it, but here is a unique set for the Electro Archon Baal. All of these ideas can be drawn from in game characters, enemies, and domains.

    Tap Skill: Baal covers herself in electro to perform a single dash inflicting electro dmg
    Hold Skill: Baal covers herself in electro to perform 3 consecutive dashes that form a triangle of electro energy. Enemies in contact with take electro damage over time.
    Elemental Burst: Baal charges herself with elemental energy and launches into the air. Throwing her polearm at the enemies causing physical damage. Following that, Baal takes the stored electro and shoot it at her polearm causing nearby enemies to take electro damage and are inflicted with paralysis

  3. May be her skill allows her to become electricity her self and jump between opponents as a bolt of lightning (also could be used to bolt ort dash aroud crevices maybe ?)dealing electro damage for sometime

    After watching the video , lol we came to same conclusion dude

  4. I believe Baal would be a electro sword user. Since Inszuma is inspired of Japan (not because of Raiden Mei).
    Zhongli's charged skill still leaves a geo pillar along with the shield.

  5. So her elemental skill is basically an electro version of xiao's skill but it just goes further 😂 I just wanted to point that out, but I get it..it's hard to think of a similarly useful skill like zhongli and ventis that work outside of fights

  6. I hope it's gonna be an Odachi..basically the japanese version of a claymore, I mean that would be the coolest, but realistically she'd use a spear. F2P spears all suck donkey balls now for endgame, cause physical dmg is so limited and the best dolphin one is deathmatch for elemental dmg, that's not enough spears.

  7. I would like her to summon a thunderstorm and deal continuous electro damage in a large aoe with her burst. Since till date both venti and zhongli have a large aoe burst.
    I wish it happens.

    Raiden herself will attack after the Electro Clones and will pass through the enemy.
    Raiden has an Electro Shield while charging that absorbs up to 50% of her HP.
    If the Electro Shield is broken it explodes dealing damage to enemies and causes the Elemental Skill(Press) to activate instead.
    Electro Shield will Zap enemies when attacked.

    Elemental Burst (CD 15 seconds):
    Raiden commands the Sky to Drop a tremendous lightning bolt in the area.
    Lightning Bolt creates a lightning Field that increases Lightning damage and converts Raiden's Attack to Electro While the Lightning Field is active.
    Lightning Field Grants Massive Electro Damage Buff and Reduce Electro Resistance of enemies inside it.

    Utility Passive i.e. Electro Vision Holders, Attack speed increase cannot exceed 50%.
    C1 and C6 Elemental Skill Energy particle creation has internal cd of 4seconds(Can refreshed if the Skill CD is reduced or reset by equipments).
    C4 If an enemy is debuffed by the Lightning Field's Electro Resist Reduction but leaves the field the debuff remains until the field is gone, Massive Electro Bonus for the party also gets carried over even when out of the field.
    C6 Elemental Skill(Press) done in the air can be used immediately, If cast on the ground Raiden has to land first before casting again.
    During Elemental Burst Raiden will emit lightning horns on her head and her weapon will also glow Dark Purple.
    Elemental Burst Massive electro Damage buff is always active on Raiden while the Field is active and for 3 seconds longer after it vanishes.

  10. i don t want do sound like a nerd but there are no good and evil in a war everyone thinks that they are good and opponents evil but for the opponent its the other way around. So everything is from our perspective

  11. Doing a quick Google search under one of its title it says raiden shogun. Shogun's main weapon in feudal Japan are bows with swords/ katanas being secondary. I would like to also point out how The E of rex and the bard closely resembles the E of the traveler. Of course we wouldn't know this since there is no statue for baal. Also looking at all the types geo is often considered support with examples like noell, ningua, zhongli all having support E. Same goes with anemo I think it's more movement oriented like venti, xiao, Jean(able to manipulate the enemies). So looking at the trends how electro are mainly dps oriented, I assume that the E is going to be something like razor.
