Razor | Genshin Impact - Basically Average

Razor is a character players will have to Wish for in order to obtain, and while it he is technically only obtainable through the RNG of the game, Razor is going to be fairly easy to obtain due to him being a 4 star character.

While Razor is one of the more common characters players can acquire, he is one of the stronger choices for characters to main, being that he deals a great amount of damage and has a good element that is useful when against a number of mobs and bosses.

Razor is considered a Melee character who wields a Claymore and has the Electro Element, dealing the majority of his damage through his basic attacks.

BASIC ATTACK

Razor’s basic attack allows him to perform up to 4 consecutive strikes.

If players hold down Razor’s basic attack, players will continuously swirl to attack enemies in an AoE fashion until completion where he will perform a powerful slash.

If players are mid-air they will plunge to the ground and deal AoE damage upon impact.

For every Electro Sigil consumed, Razor will gain energy.

ABILITY 2

Razor’s second ability is Lightning Fang.

Activating Lightning Fang will also consume all of Razor’s Electro Sigils, converting them into elemental energy for him.
