Genshin Impact updated Razor DPS build guide: Best weapons, artifacts, and teams

Among the Mondstadt characters that have received buffs in Genshin Impact Luna III, 4-star Electro unit Razor stands out due to the massive increase in his potential as a DPS unit. In the inital days of the game, Razor was a very popular main DPS pick among most players due to his strength and easy gameplay. However, as the game's character roster began to expand – and more powerful units kept being added to the lineup – Razor's utility as a DPS unit diminished significantly. Now, with the recent Hexerei buffs, Razor can once again be comfortably used as a hypercarry in plenty of teams.

This article provides a guide on building Razor in Genshin Impact Luna III, keeping his new kit buffs in mind.

Best weapons for Razor in Genshin Impact

1) A Thousand Blazing Suns

Pyro Archon Mavuika's signature weapon A Thousand Blazing Suns is the best weapon for an on-field DPS Razor. This 5-star claymore increases both CRIT DMG and ATK after using an Elemental Burst, which will help Razor increase his overall damage while he is on the field. The secondary stat of this weapon also provides extra CRIT Rate, which can help balance his CRIT Ratio while building him.

However, do note that Razor will not be able to take advantage of the Nightsoul's Blessing passive effect that this weapon provides.

2) Redhorn Stonethresher

The 5-star Claymore Redhorn Stonethresher is a great stat stick that Razor can use to amplify his damage output. While the passive effect of this weapon is rather useless for him, the whopping 88.2% CRIT DMG that this claymore provides more than makes up for it.

3) Beacon of the Reed Sea

Another excellent stat stick that Razor can use is the 5-star claymore Beacon of the Reed Sea. This weapon provides a CRIT Rate% buff, along with an ATK buff of up to 40% (at Refinement Rank 1). It also grants increased HP to the user, increasing Razor's survivability while on field.

4) Serpent Spine

Serpent Spine is the best 4-star weapon option for Razor. This claymore is often used by DPS units who stay on the field to deal damage, and Razor's new buffs ensure that he gets optimal on-field time, making this a great weapon to equip on him. This claymore also provides a CRIT Rate% buff that Razor can take good advantage of.

Best artifacts for Razor in Genshin Impact

1) Echoes of an Offering

The 4-piece Echoes of an Offering artifact set is the best-in-slot set for an on-field main DPS Razor. Apart from providing an ATK buff, the 4-piece effect of this artifact set also buffs Normal Attacks. Thanks to the Hexerei buffs, Razor's Normal Attacks now deal Electro DMG to enemies every 10 seconds, making this a great choice for him.

Use artifacts with the following main stats:

• Sands: ATK%
• Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus
• Circlet: CRIT DMG% or CRIT Rate%

2) Gladiator's Finale

You can still use Razor's normal go-to artifact set Gladiator's Finale, especially if you have pieces with high ATK% and CRIT stats. Gladiator's Finale – with its 18% ATK and 35% Normal Attack buff – is a solid choice for most DPS units who use claymores, and Razor is no exception.

Make sure your artifacts have these main stats:

• Sands: ATK%
• Goblet: Electro DMG Bonus
• Circlet: CRIT DMG% or CRIT Rate%

Best teams for Razor in Genshin Impact

The new Hexerei buffs now make Razor one of the strongest 4-star hypercarry units in game, meaning that you can comfortably use him as main DPS in endgame content such as Spiral Abyss as well. Razor will function best with one other Hexerei character in the team, with the following being his new best teams:

• Razor + Durin + Chevreuse + Bennett
• Razor + Chevreuse + Fischl + Bennett
• Razor + Fischl + Xiangling + Bennett
