Razor's abilities
Razor wields a two-handed sword and inflicts P. damage. He is also able to additionally inflict Electro damage with the help of an ult that increases his attack speed. Elemental Skill speeds up energy regeneration, allowing you to activate Elemental Burst more often.
Let's take a closer look at Razor's skills and tell you in what order they need to be pumped.
Basic skills (active skills)
- Steel Fang (Normal Charged Attack)
With regular strikes, Razor performs up to 4 slashing attacks with a sword.
During a charged attack, the hero spins like a whirlwind, constantly expending stamina. Upon completion of the rotation, performs another slashing powerful blow.
When attacking while falling, Razor dashes towards the ground, dealing AoE damage as it lands.
- Thunder and Claws (Elemental Skill)
Quick press cooldown: 6 sec.
Long press cooldown: 10 sec.
When pressed quickly, the Thunderwolf's claws strike, striking enemies in front of it. At this moment, an Electro Symbol is applied to Razor, increasing the speed of energy recovery. Up to three symbols can be activated at the same time, and each new one resets the duration of the previous ones.
With a long press, all accumulated symbols are consumed, attacking Electro damage in an area. Each symbol removed from Razor to create a thunderstorm turns into character energy.
- Thunder Fang (Elemental Burst)
Cooldown: 20 sec.
Duration: 15 sec.
Energy consumption: 80.
The ultimate summons an Inner Wolf that deals Electro damage to nearby enemies. The skill also takes all active symbols created by E-shek in exchange for replenishing Razor's energy supply. For the duration of the skill, the wolf fights alongside Razor.
During Elemental Burst Inner Wolf:
- performs attacks along with Razor, dealing Electro damage;
- increases attack speed and electro resistance;
- Makes Razor immune to damage from the Charged reaction, and also increases his resistance to interrupt attacks.
All effects are reset when changing characters. If the duration of the skill has not expired, then it is converted into character energy - up to 10 units.
The order of pumping
Razor is the main damage dealer, for whom the uniform leveling of all skills is important, so first you need to level all Razor talents up to level 6. The character deals the main damage from the hand, so further you need to pump the basic attack, as well as the ult, which significantly increases the damage. Then - pump up the elemental skill. Thus, the order of leveling Razor's abilities looks like this: normal attacks > elemental blast > elemental skill.
Passive skills
| Talent | When does it open | What gives |
|---|---|---|
| Wolfensprint | Base | The active character's stamina consumption while sprinting has been reduced by 20%. Does not stack with passives that have the same effect. |
| Awakening | 2nd Ascension Phase | Elemental skill cooldown time is reduced by 18%. Using an elemental blast resets the cooldown of the E-kit. |
| Hunger | 4nd Ascension Phase | Razor's energy recovery is increased by 30% if his ultimate is less than half full. |
Constellations
The best constellations for Razor are - С1, С4 и С6.
- first constellation gives Razor an important damage bonus. Since most of the time this character is on the battlefield, he will be able to catch a lot of elemental spheres and get a buff from them.
- fourth constellation Decreases the opponent's defense after taking damage from a quick tap of an elemental skill. In any rotation, this is the type of use of the E-shka that is used most often, so it is easy for Razor to keep the buff from this constellation active.
- sixth constellation will help Razor himself trigger the Superconductor reaction without using a skill or ult, and also increase the overall damage of the character.
| number | Name | <font><font>Materials</font></font> |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | wolf nature | Picked up elemental spheres or particles increase Razor's damage by 10% for 8 seconds. |
| 2 | suppression | Crete. Chance is increased by 10% if opponents have HP below 30%. |
| 3 | Soul mate | Increases elemental explosion level by 3. Max. lvl: 15. |
| 4 | Bite | When hit with an E-neck with a quick press, the enemy's defense is reduced by 15% for 7 seconds. |
| 5 | sharpened claws | Increases elemental skill level by 3. Max. lvl: 15. |
| 6 | Star Sirius | Every 10 seconds, Razor gains a bolt of lightning that, on his next normal attack, deals Electro damage equal to 100% of Razor's attack power. If there is no elemental explosion at that moment, then each such hit will create Electro symbols similar to those that occur when struck by ale. skill. |
Despite the fact that second constellation may seem very strong, but in fact it is not. Bonus to Crete. chance it only works when the enemy's HP has already dropped below 30%, which is why it will not give a significant increase in battle.
Advantages and disadvantages of Razor
Razor is one of the few heroes that specializes in dealing physical damage. He can only work in the main-dd position and is easy to build, but like any character, he has his strengths and weaknesses.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Huge physical damage (only loses at the moment aeole at the same speed). | The ultimate ability resets when another character is selected, requiring proper rotation. |
| A high base attack power makes it much easier to overclock damage, since even with minimal investment, the character can contribute quite good DPS. | The radius of elemental attacks is extremely small and, in fact, it all comes down to melee. It has very slow attacks, which is why it needs to disrupt the last attack in the series for a comfortable game. |
| The explosion of the elements boosts the defense and other characteristics of the character, which makes the game more comfortable. | Is a damage dealer through physical. damage, therefore loses a lot to characters through elemental reactions. |
| An easy to use character that doesn't have any complex mechanics. Ideal for beginners. | Despite the ease of assembly, it needs good stats in order to deal a lot of damage. |
| You can get artifacts and weapons on it even at the very beginning of the game, as well as pick up a team. | Requires a Cryo hero to trigger the Superconductor reaction for a buff to P. Def. damage. |

Best Razor builds in Genshin Impact
Razor in all squads plays the role of the backbone of the group. Best of all, this character shows himself in groups, where all the heroes play him, giving various buffs. Since all skills depend on attack power, and the character inflicts physical. damage, then in the assembly of Razor you need to pay attention to these characteristics.
Recommended characteristic values
Razor needs attack power as well as crit. damage and crit. chance. His ult is quite expensive, so energy recovery in additional stats is additionally useful. In the cup, you need a physical bonus. damage, not attack power.
What stats you need to choose in order to assemble the best build for Razor:
| Artifact | Main characteristic | Additional stats |
|---|---|---|
 Flower of Life | HP (permanent) | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Attack Power % Energy Recovery % |
 Feather of Death | Attack Power (Permanent) | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Attack Power % Energy Recovery % |
 The sands of Time | Attack Power % | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Energy Recovery % ATK |
 space cup | Physical Cup damage | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Attack Power % Energy Recovery % |
 Crown of Mind | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits | Crete. damage / Crit Chance. hits Attack Power % Energy Recovery % |
Optimal characteristic values:
- ATK: from 1600 and above.
- Crete. damage and crit. chance should be in a ratio of 1:2 (for example, 60 crit chance should account for 120 crit damage).
- Energy recovery: about 130%. Despite the expensive ult, many of Razor's skills are focused on HP, so don't pay too much attention to this parameter.
Best weapon
Weapons for Razor must have the following basic characteristics: physical. damage, attack power or crit. damage/crit. chance. Power regen swords are not desirable unless they have high base attack or other bonuses, as this stat is easier to get from artifacts and by building the right team for Razor. Try to select weapons in such a way as to solve the lack of stats and maintain balance without biasing into any characteristic.
| Name | Description | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 Song of Broken Piness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 49-741 Phys. damage: 4,5-20,7% | Attack power is increased by 16-32%. When a normal or charged attack hits an enemy, the character gains a Whisper Seal (no more than once every 0,3 seconds). When 4 seals are accumulated, they are canceled, activating Millennium Symphony: Banner Anthem, which lasts for 12 seconds. All party members gain +12-24% attack speed and +20-40% attack power. | The best option for Razor. Gives a lot of attack and bonus physical. damage, as well as a buff to attack speed. In addition, it will give a small boost to allies. |
 A Thousand Dazzling Suns⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Basic attack: 49-741 Crete. chance: 2.4%-11% | After activating E or ult, gives the effect of Burning Radiance, which increases critical damage by 20%-40%, and the attack power by 28%-56% for 6 sec. once every 10 sec. Hitting enemies with normal or charged attacks while Searing Radiance is active extends the duration of the effect by 2 sec. This extension can occur once every 1 sec, up to a maximum of 1 sec. Searing Radiance's effects are increased by 50%-75%, if the weapon's bearer is in the Night Spirit's Blessing state. The effect works even from the "pocket". | A very strong weapon, even though Razor, being a Mondstadt character, won't be able to fully utilize it. It will cover the need for attack power and crits. |
 Wolf death⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 46-608 Attack Power: 10,8-49,6% | Attack power is increased by 20-40%. When hitting an enemy whose HP is less than 30%, the attack power of the party members is increased by 40-80% for 12 seconds. The effect can occur no more than once every 30 seconds. | An excellent variant of the standard legendary weapon. Suitable for teams without an attack buffer, and will also reveal himself well in long battles. |
 Redhorn Stonethresher ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 44-565 Crete. damage: 19,2-88,2% | Protection increased by 28%-56%, and the damage of normal and charged attacks is increased by 40%-80% from protection. | Suitable for units with Bennet and crit balance. However, it should be borne in mind that the protection stat for Razor by itself will not be useful, and you should not give preference to this characteristic to increase the buff from the weapon. |
 Heavenly greatness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 48-674 Energy recovery: 8-36,8% | Increases damage dealt by 8-16%. After activating elemental explosion hits with normal or charged attacks release an intangible blade that deals 80-160% damage to all enemies in its path. Lasts 20 seconds or 8 blades. | It will perfectly reveal itself if the artifacts did not manage to gain energy recovery. If without weapons Razor already has 130%+ cooldown, then the claymore ceases to significantly speed up the activation of the ult and be useful. |
 Dragonbone sword (Battle Pass)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 42-510 Crit chance. hits: 8-36,8% | Every 4 seconds increases damage dealt by 6-10% and damage taken by 3-1,8% while active. Can stack up to 5 times, does not reset when changing characters, but taking damage takes 1 level. | A great choice if you have a Shielder on your team. It will help balance crits and give a good buff, but it is important to maintain stacks. In addition, due to the low base attack, the squad should have attack buffs. |
 wave shadow⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Basic attack: 42-510 Attack Power: 9%-41,4% | Attack power after being healed is increased by 24-48% for 8 sec. The effect works even when the character is not on the battlefield. | A free sword from Fontaine with a huge increase in attack power. To implement the passive, you will need to pair a healer. |
 Prototype: Archaic⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 42-510 Attack Power: 8-36,8% | When hit by a normal or charged attack, it has a 50% chance to deal an additional 240-480% damage in a small radius. Can occur once every 15 seconds. | A universal free sword for Razor, which, if necessary, can be easily transferred to another damage dealer. It will give a lot of attack, but you need to pick up good crits in artifacts. |
 Snow covered silver ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Base attack power: 44-565 Phys. damage: 7,5-34,5% | Hits from normal or charged attacks have a 60% - 100% chance to create an ice crystal over the enemy, dealing 80% - 140% AoE damage. If the enemy has the effect of Cryo, then it receives 200% - 360% damage. Can occur no more than once every 10 seconds. | Suitable for Razor teams that have more than two Cryo allies. Such a condition is necessary for the weapon's passive to trigger, when it is performed, the claymore is approximately equal in damage to Prototype: Archaic. |
Best Artifacts
Artifacts on Razor should also have the characteristics that the character needs and meet his needs for attack power or physical. damage. Due to the ease of assembly, Razor fits a small number of sets and can easily wear a variety of combinations of 2/2 of them.
| Name | Effects | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
 Pale fire⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases P. Def. damage by 25%. 4 parts: Increases attack power by 9% for 7 seconds when an elemental skill hits an enemy. The effect stacks up to 2 times and can only occur once every 1 seconds. At stacking level 0,3, the effect of a set of 2 items is increased by 2%. | The best kit for Razor, which will give as a bonus to physical. damage and attack power. Thanks to the short cooldown of E-shki, the hero will be able to constantly maintain the buff. |
 Pale fire / Blood knight | 2 parts: Increases physical damage by 25%. 2 parts: Increases physical damage by 25%. | The strongest 2+2 variant that is easy to assemble thanks to re-crafting. The only difference from the full set of Palefire - no buff on attack power, which is easily compensated by allies. |
 Gladiator’s Finale⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases attack power by 18% 4 parts: Increases normal attack damage by 35% if the character is using a two-handed, one-handed, or polearm weapon. | The damage from this set is less than from sets to increase physical. damage, but with good stats on pieces, Gladiator’s Finale will show a decent result. |
| Blood knight & Pale fire / End of the Gladiator & Shimenawa's Reminiscence ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: Increases physical damage by 25% 2 parts: Increases attack power by 18% | A good option for the first time, but in the future it is advisable to change to a whole set, since the bonuses from the full set give too much increase to Razor. |
 Martial Artist⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 2 parts: +15% normal and charged attack damage. 4 parts: +25% normal and charged attack damage for 8 seconds after using the E-shki. | Set for initial ranks. |
Squads for Razor
Razor - damage dealer through physical. damage that also additionally attacks Electro, but cannot act as a full-fledged damage dealer through this element. In addition, he will never be able to act as a sub-dp or support, since he cannot buff allies or deal damage outside of the battlefield. He needs support from his team, which should provide him with buffs, shields and healing. Also, Razor's squad must have a Cryo hero to call the Superconductor's reaction.
Best characters
Below is a list of characters suitable for Razor's team:
| Character | Element | Weapon | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
 Mika |  Cryo |  A spear | The best physical buffer. Despite the fact that he can cause the Superconductor reaction for Razor, it is better to take a second Cryo character in the company with him, since the Cryo status of the cartographer is extremely low and will not be enough for a group of opponents. |
 Rosary | Cryo | A spear | Perfect Cryo hero for Razor, especially on C6. Will give additional damage, guaranteed invocation of the Superconductor reaction, increase crit. chance. From the last bone will be able to cut resistances to physical. damage. |
 Keia | Cryo |  One handed sword | Performs the same functions in the squad as Rosaria, being her free replacement for Razor. |
 Laila | Cryo | One handed sword | A great option for teams that need a Cryo ally and a shielder at the same time. Will protect the squad and provide the reaction of the Superconductor, as he regularly attacks Crio from his shield. On C4 will be able to buff Razor's normal attacks. |
 Charlotte | Cryo |  Catalyst | Cryo support that inflicts mass status and damage from the pocket. Using the ultimate restores a large percentage of HP, depending on the strength of the attack. |
 Fischl |  electro |  Bow | The best Electro ally for Razor. It will give the necessary pumping of energy and additional damage. |
 Dory | electro |  Two-handed sword | The best of the healers of this element, as a bonus will give energy recovery. |
 Raiden | electro | A spear | Razor doesn't need as much energy as Raiden gives, but if there is no other way to improve energy pumping, then it can be taken. |
 Zhongli |  Geo | A spear | Will give reliable protection and a cut of resists. It will show itself especially well in teams where Razor's weapons require a shield. |
 Yun Jin | Geo | A spear | Increases the damage of normal attacks, which are the basis of Razor's damage. |
 Bennett |  Pyro | One handed sword | Buffs on attack power and heals. But it is worth considering that Bennet ceases to combine with Razor when the sixth constellation is activated. |
 Xinyan | Pyro | Two-handed sword | Increase physical. damage, can close the Pyro Resonance. But it is not appropriate in all teams, since there is no way to provide the Superconductor with a reaction, and therefore there is not always a place in the squad for her. |
Top Teams
Example units for Razor based on the heroes above:
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Raizor | Mika | Yun Jin | Bennett | The best team with Razor in terms of pure damage. But it requires proper rotation and shows itself best against bosses. In situations where there are many opponents and they appear in short waves, the squad works worse. |
| Raizor | Mika | Yun Jin | Laila | Strong squad with cryo resonance. Mika and Yun Jin buff Razor, Layla protects the squad and provides a base to trigger the Superconductor's permanent reaction. In this team, high energy recovery is important for Razor. |
| Raizor | RosaryKeia | Bennett | Xinyan | Squad with Pyro Resonance. Replacing Rosaria or Kaya with other Cryo heroes is not worth it, as they do not have a large enough amount of status and will not allow you to trigger the Superconductor reaction. |
| Raizor | Fischl | RosaryCharlotte | Bennett | A simple harmonious squad with Electro resonance. Razor deals the main damage, and Fischl provides additional damage and helps with energy. Rosaria or Charlotte provides the Superconductor's reaction, and Bennett heals and buffs. |
| Raizor | RosaryKeia | Yun Jin | Zhongli | A squad with Geo Resonance. It is impossible to replace Rosaria or Keia with another hero here, since only they are able to constantly maintain Cryo status on several enemies. To compensate for the second Electro in the team, it is advisable to give more Favonius weapons to the team. |
| Raizor | Raiden |  DioneLailaCharlotte | XinyanYun Jin | A team in which Raiden powers Razor and Yun Jin or Xinyang. Suitable if the artifacts do not have enough energy recovery and there are no weapons with this stat. |
| Raizor | Keia |  Lisa |  Barbara | The best squad for beginners from starting heroes. Lisa cuts the defense of the enemies and closes the Electro Resonance, Keia is needed for the Cryo status on the enemies. Barbara heals and Razor does the main damage. |
How to play Razor
Razor deals the main damage with his normal attacks. The elemental skill deals Electro damage, and also gives symbols that accumulate up to 3 pieces. When using a charged E-shki and an ult, symbols are spent and converted into energy. For a comfortable game, it is recommended to spend these symbols during the ult.
During the explosion of the elements, the wolf attacks at the same time as Razor, dealing Electro damage and increasing attack speed. During all of Razor's attacks, it is recommended to dash or jump the last attack in the series (deal only 3 hits, ignoring the 4th hit to the ground) to speed up the attacks.
Rotation
The hero has simple mechanics, so Razor's rotation looks like this:
- Activate Razor's elemental skill to get one glyph and then switch to supports to get some ults.
- Return to Razor and press the E-shku again. Use regular attacks a few times.
- Switch to supports and, as you cool down, activate all the buffs.
- Return to Razor again, get the third symbol from the skill and activate the ult under the buffs. Use 3 normal attacks while the ult is active, and don't forget about the elemental skill. In order not to hit 4 times, activate the jump or sprint.
- Then repeat from point 3.
Сonclusion
Razor is a good character, dealing good physical damage. normal attack damage second only to aeole. A very easy hero that will suit even beginners because of the convenient gameplay and simple builds. However, in order for him to be able to compete with other characters in the later stages of the game, it is necessary to work hard on assembling artifacts with good characteristics.
