Everything about Razor in Genshin Impact: builds, artifacts, weapons, skills, and how to obtain

Looking for the best build for Razor in Genshin Impact? Razor is an Electro character who lives among wolves in Wolvendom near Mondstadt. He wields a claymore and is a valuable member of any team. However, as a four-star character, he is much easier to acquire than some of the more elite characters in Genshin Impact. This is convenient for players who do not want to spend their money on the game.

There's a high chance to randomly receive Razor. He is part of the standard Wish, Wanderlust Invocation, which also features five-star characters Mona, Qiqi, and Keqing, along with 13 other four-star heroes and various weapons. He can also be purchased in the shop for 34 Starglitter.

Even if you hadn't planned on using Razor in your squad, he can still be a great team member if you know how to use him.

Razor provides a stable combination of regular attacks, Electro damage, one-on-one combat, area damage, group buffs, and cooldown acceleration. He's a true asset in a team, primarily as a healer. He may not become your dream character compared to some five-star contenders, but he can be quite useful in the early stages of the game.

Razor is highly valued as one of the best four-star characters in the entire game, and it's easy to see why when you look at the damage he can deal.

As an Electro character wielding a claymore, Razor performs well in groups that can cause elemental reactions: Cryo, Pyro, and Hydro help deal massive damage.

Normal Attack: Steel Fang

Elemental Skill: Claw and Thunder

Tracks down prey using techniques and methods he learned from his master and his pack.

Elemental Burst: Lightning Fang

Awakens the inner wolf, dealing Electro damage to all nearby enemies. Activating the skill consumes all of Razor's Electro Sigils, converting them into Energy for Razor. During the skill's duration, the wolf joins Razor in battle.

Inner Wolf:

These effects end when Razor leaves combat. When Razor leaves combat, the remaining skill duration is converted into Energy for him. Max 10 Energy units.

To activate each star, one Stella Fortuna is needed. Stars can only be unlocked in sequence. Up to six Stellas Fortuna can be obtained for each character. To obtain Stella Fortuna, a duplicate of the character is required from wishes.

To ascend Razor, you'll need to hunt various creatures and collect materials. You'll need to hunt the Electro Hypostasis and various hilichurls. Wolfhook can be found in Mondstadt, often growing at the base of dead trees and near bushes.

Start every attack with the Thunder Fang skill. As soon as you hit, switch to regular combo attacks, but make a dash right before the last hit. The last strike from a four-hit combo is very slow and does not deal much damage — dash to cancel the animation and repeat the regular combo of attacks again. You should be able to attack with the Thunder Fang skill after going through two cycles of regular attacks.

Thunder Claw increases the speed of each attack and provides additional Electro damage with each hit. You can use the extra attack speed by performing regular combos, as the last hit will not take much time. Use the Wolf's Gravestone sword to deal as much damage as possible. If you do not have this five-star weapon, you can take the four-star Prototype: Archaic instead.

Although Razor indeed deals Electro damage, most of his hits are from regular attacks. Focus on artifacts that increase attack, physical damage, and critical hit chance.

To maximize damage, it's important to understand how to effectively use your elemental reactions. Unlike some other high-damage characters in Genshin Impact, Razor requires you to constantly switch between different team members because he relies on additional damage from elemental reactions.

The team for Razor in Genshin Impact: Cryo characters such as Qiqi and Diona pair well with Razor, as you can continuously deal area damage with the Superconduct reaction. Zhongli and Venti are also suitable, as they do not need to be active in combat for too long.

Weapon

Razor can use five-star or four-star weapons. The four-star sword is easier to obtain, as it can be forged.

Four Stars

Prototype: Archaic (Prototype Aminus): On hitting with normal or charged attacks, has a 50% chance to deal an additional 240% damage in a small radius. Can occur once every 15 seconds. The sword can be forged, requiring: Northlander Claymore Billet, 50 crystal chunks, 50 white iron chunks, and 500 Mora.

Five Stars

If you want to use Razor with a five-star sword, you won't find anything better than Wolf's Gravestone.

Wolf's Gravestone: Increases attack power by 20%. When hitting a target with HP less than 30%, increases the attack power of all squad members by 40% for 12 seconds. Can occur no more than once every 30 seconds. The sword can be obtained through wishes.

Artifact

Gladiator's Finale: 2-piece set: increases ATK by 18%. 4-piece set: increases normal attack damage by 35% if the character is using a sword, claymore, or polearm. It can be obtained from world bosses at world level 2 and above.

However, some players want Razor to fulfill a support role, but he is not the most suitable hero for this. He can apply an Electro effect to opponents, but it will only work for one hit.

Razor is designed to be at the forefront of the team, as he does not have any support set. Razor's combat style is aggressive. His elemental skill and burst are meant to enhance him, and his weapon class helps deal damage.

But if you are determined to use him as a support character, you can use the following build.

Weapon

For this build, Razor can also use the Prototype: Archaic and Wolf's Gravestone swords. But the artifact will have to be replaced.

Artifact

Thundering Fury Set: 2-piece set: increases Electro DMG bonus by 15%. 4-piece set: increases damage caused by Overloaded, Electro-Charged, and Superconduct by 40%. Triggering these effects decreases elemental skill cooldown by 1 second. Can occur once every 0.8 seconds. It can be obtained in the Midsummer Courtyard domain.

What Does Lupical Mean? (The Meaning of Lupical) is a story quest in Genshin Impact. Below, we will tell you how to unlock this quest, where to find it, its rewards, and a complete guide to passing it.

Wolves' Territory

You and Paimon decide to visit Wolvendom, a place in Mondstadt that few pass through without knowing the dangers.

Reward: 275 Adventure EXP, 5 Adventurer's Experience, 10,000 Mora, 2 Mystic Enhancement Ore.

Another Day as an Outrider!

On your last breath after an attack by a huge slime, you were saved by a young man named Razor. He mentioned a redhead girl. You guess who it is.

Reward: 275 Adventure EXP, 5 Adventurer's Experience, 10,000 Mora, 2 Mystic Enhancement Ore.

The So-Called Disorder (Ravaged by Wolves)

It seems that the redhead girl is not Amber, as you thought. But you get news from Amber about wolf pack attacks in the Drunkard's Gorge. The wolf pack, the boy, the attacks... it all becomes more complicated. This requires a thorough investigation.

Reward: 275 Adventure EXP, 5 Adventurer's Experience, 10,000 Mora, 2 Mystic Enhancement Ore.

Fate's Chosen Lupical

You find yourself in Wolvendom again. Are these seeds solid evidence? Is Razor and his wolf pack really behind the attack? Or do the wolfhooks point to something else?

The boss Boreas, the Wolf of the North, is a rather difficult opponent. It's hard to get close enough to hit him, and his attacks take a lot of health. However, you don't need to kill him; when about 25% of his HP bar remains, a cutscene will trigger, and the quest will be completed.

Dodge his area, tail, and paw swipe attacks. It's better to attack from the side or behind. If you move too far away, the boss may leap to close the distance.
