There are a lot of playable characters in Genshin Impact, and some are easier to obtain than others. One Genshin Impact character, Razor, is fairly commonly acquired using the game's gacha pull system by most players. The boy with the heart of a wolf can thrive in either DPS or roles. However, deciding which role within the party Razor will fill affects his character build, so Genshin Impact players will need to give it some thought.

While Genshin Impact gives players a few starter characters through the main story, most playable characters must be obtained through Wishes. A Wish is the game's gacha pull system, which means getting better characters in Genshin Impact will require luck, patience, and plenty of Primogems and Fates.

Currently, Razor can be acquired through the Wish system or through the Starglitter Exchange of Paimon's shop. Raised among wolves in Genshin Impact, Razor uses a huge claymore to attack enemies head-on. He's also an Electro like Fischl or Lisa, which means he can deal AoE lightning damage. Although Razor is great at DPS, he can also fill a role within the party, if needed.

Best DPS And Builds For Razor In Genshin Impact

If players want to use Genshin Impact's Razor in a DPS role, then the Gladiator's Finale Artifact set is perfect. The Gladiator's Finale set will increase Razor's DMG by 35%. These Artifacts will drop from certain bosses once players have achieved World Level 2 in Genshin Impact. Until then, players can equip any Artifacts that increase Razor's ATK or DMG%. However, if players want Razor to fill the role, then they'll need to use the same Thundering Fury Artifacts recommended for Lisa or Fischl, since those will increase his Electro damage and Superconduct status effect.

No matter which role Razor fills in Genshin Impact, the Wolf's Gravestone (a 5-star claymore) or the Protoype Aminus (a 4-star claymore) are the best weapons for the character. Both are fairly rare, which means they're going to be harder to obtain that most other weapons. If players aren't lucky enough to roll for the Wolf's Gravestone or Prototype Aminus, then something more common like the 3-star Debate Club will work, since it increases ATK DMG.

Razor is powerful either way, which is why he often appears near the top of Genshin Impact's character tier lists. When choosing the best character build for Razor in Genshin Impact, players will need to consider what role they want him to fill. The character is great at both DPS and , so it's really just a matter of preference.
