Razor is a 4-star Electro claymore user from Mondstadt who was raised by wolves and lives in Wolvendom. As a feral yet kind-hearted warrior, Razor specializes in physical DPS, enhanced by his Electro infusion from his Elemental Burst.

The best Razor build focuses on Physical DMG, Electro application, and sustained melee combat.

Razor thrives as a main DPS who stays on-field, using fast claymore attacks, energy regeneration, and high uptime Burst. While his kit is simple, it’s extremely effective for players who enjoy a fast, hack-and-slash style character that doesn’t rely on complex rotations.

How to Play Razor Effectively

Razor thrives as an on-field DPS, using his Elemental Skill, Claw and Thunder, to generate energy and apply Electro.

His Elemental Burst, Lightning Fang, summons the spirit of his wolf companion to fight alongside him, converting his attacks into Electro-infused melee strikes with increased attack speed.

The best Razor build maximizes Physical DMG Bonus, CRIT, and ATK%. Prioritize Superconduct support to shred enemy defenses and allow Razor to deal massive consistent melee damage.

His Burst should be used as often as possible to maintain Electro uptime and damage boosts.

Is Razor Worth Building?

Yes — Razor is a powerful 4-star physical DPS and an excellent choice for new players or anyone seeking a straightforward melee carry. He shines in Superconduct teams and scales well into the late game.
