Electro
Claymore
Razor
Wolf Boy
Raised by wolves, Razor was long a Physical DPS that time had left behind. His Hexerei upgrade changed that: the Wolf Within now hits much harder, and in a party with another Hexerei character, overflowing Electro Sigils call down AoE lightning strikes that also refund Energy. He is once again a fun, sturdy and affordable Electro main DPS, especially in Overloaded teams.

Main stats
Substat priority
Stat targets
- ATK 2,000+
- CRIT Rate 60–70% on the stat screen (A Day Carved adds 20% in combat)
- CRIT DMG 140%+
- Energy Recharge 110–130%: Electro Sigils, his A4 passive and Hexerei overflows cover most of his needs
Talent priority
Use an Electro DMG goblet when his Normal Attacks stay Physical; with a C6 Bennett infusing them with Pyro, an ATK% goblet is a safer choice since his damage is split between two elements. The old Physical build (Pale Flame, Physical goblet) is no longer recommended.
Recommended teams
Hexerei Overloaded
Durin and Fischl activate Secret Rite, Chevreuse shreds Pyro and Electro RES and buffs ATK.
Pyro-infused Overloaded
All 4-stars: Fischl completes the Hexerei pair, and C6 Bennett infuses Razor's Normal Attacks with Pyro so he triggers Overloaded himself; stay inside Bennett's field.
How to play
How he works
- Claw and Thunder (Skill): tap to strike and gain an Electro Sigil (max 3, each raises his Energy Recharge); hold to release a larger strike that converts every Sigil into Energy.
- Lightning Fang (Burst, 80 Energy) summons the Wolf Within: it strikes alongside his Normal Attacks, raises his ATK SPD and interruption resistance, and disables his Charged Attacks. The Awakening passive resets Claw and Thunder when he casts it.
- Witch's Eve Rite: Surge of Lightning (Witch's Homework Of the Little Wolf Pack, Lv. 70+): the Wolf Within deals extra DMG equal to 70% of his ATK. With a second Hexerei character, gaining an Electro Sigil while already at 3 during Lightning Fang calls down an AoE lightning strike (150% ATK) and restores 7 Energy, once per second.
Rotation
- Set up your supports (Chevreuse, Durin or Fischl, Bennett).
- Tap E for a Sigil and particles, then Q: the Burst converts his Sigils into Energy and Awakening resets Claw and Thunder, so tap E again right away.
- Weave Normal Attack strings with tap E whenever it is ready: once he holds 3 Sigils, every new one overflows into a lightning strike.
- Swap out once the Wolf ends, or keep going if Energy allows another Burst.
With a C6 Bennett, his Normal Attacks become Pyro while the Wolf stays Electro: he triggers Overloaded on his own, which pairs perfectly with Chevreuse.
Strengths
- Hexerei brings big Electro damage, AoE lightning and Energy refunds
- Very sturdy on the field thanks to interruption resistance and Electro RES
- Cheap to build and fully accessible as a free 4-star
- Works with Overloaded or Aggravate supports
Weaknesses
- Needs a second Hexerei character and his Witch's Homework to shine
- No Charged Attacks during his Burst, and he wants long field time
- His damage is split between Electro and Physical or Pyro, which complicates goblets
- Clearly below 5-star main DPS in the hardest endgame content
Notable dupes · Constellation
+10% DMG for 8s after picking up particles: easy uptime but small.
Tap Skill lowers enemy DEF by 15% with near-permanent uptime.
Hexerei version: each Skill grants 3 Sigils (more overflow strikes), and consuming Sigils gives +10% CRIT Rate and +50% CRIT DMG for 15s.
