An interestingGenshin Impactconcept combines the popular Inazuma Archon, Raiden Shogun, with A2, one of the main characters fromNieR: Automata.Genshin Impact’s characters are the game’s main asset, which is not surprising considering that they are its primary source of revenue.
Genshin Impact’s anime-inspired character designs often serve as a source of inspiration for numerous fans to create their own artworks. These concepts frequently take playable characters from the world of Teyvat and integrate them into different settings by merging them with popular characters from other franchises.
A Reddit user named imdrunkontea has shared an impressive fan art that fusesGenshin Impact’s Raiden ShogunandNieR’s A2 into one character. A2, also known as YoRHa No.2 Type A, is one of the characters in the popular 2017 titleNieR: Automata, and she also appeared in the anime adaptation. The fan art combines Raiden Shogun’s traditional Inazuma clothing with A2’s overall color palette. Inazuma, as a region, is heavily inspired by Japanese culture, which is reflected in the traditional Japanese attire seen in many of its character outfits. The concept received significant attention in the community, with the post garnering over 3.2k upvotes onGenshin Impact’s main subreddit.
Genshin Impact Fan-art Fuses Raiden Shogun With NieR’s A2
Many fans in the comments hope that HoYoverse might release a character with a similar design. Several commenters noted that Raiden Shogun is a conflicted character, and this concept could represent her “dark form” in the game. Some players also mentioned that the design resembles Acheron, one of themost popular characters fromHonkai: Star Rail. The artist confirmed that they “put a bit of Acheron” into the design.
While alternative skins exist in the game, HoYoverse typically adds approximately four new outfits per year, usually for less popular characters such as Klee or Ganyu, who have not been part of the meta for quite some time. Even though she was released over three years ago, Raiden Shogun is still considered anS-tier character inGenshin Impactdue to her power both on and off the field.
Raiden Shogun is likely still the best Electro support in the roster, and her usage rate might improve further, as recent leaks have revealed multiplechanges to Electro elemental reactions inGenshin Impact. If HoYoverse decides to add a new outfit for Inazuma’s leader, she would be the first Archon to receive one.
