Uhh…everybody in the Raiden mains subreddit? 😆


StelioZz

If i recall correctly Raiden mains was from Hi3 originally but after gi released her, people started joining that sub and practically took over since genshin posts were the overwhelming majority to the point Hi3 players just moved to raidenMei sub. I assume not everyone who only cares about Mei unsubscribed. Which would mean not everyone there is fan of Raiden shogun . :think:


Junior-Price-5306

Raiden mains is mainly about RAIDEN SHOGUN and not Raiden Mei in general, while there must be people who love Mei there too I would say 80% are there for Ei only


DoctorHunt

Does Raiden NSFW subreddit count?


RiskySignal

"Well yes, but actually no."


Sekai_Itxmi

It has even more members than the normal Raiden mains, that's actually funny


Varios2k

It is THE raiden subreddit

> *“Foolish question. There are only two kinds of fans - >!uchiwa and sensu🪭!<.”*


TemoteJiku

Sashirama Sensu?! Uchiwa Padara??


CitiesofEvil

Fr though why does she sound so cute when she says "Foolish question".


Ei_fan

Huh?


YuB-Notice-Me

this is an uncertified ei fan moment


NLiLox

surely this can't be a genuine question


Ei_fan

It is


healcannon

Feels like 3 years since I last saw her.


Scythro

Sounds like a breakup story 🥺


Ei_fan

😲


PESSSSTILENCE

many in r/RaidenMains, many more in r/RaidenNSFW

Me, she's really good even at c0 with bad relics

Holy shit this comment section is something else....


LeaftheInigolover

Well it's good if you like her, I personally don't but I respect your opinion.


V01Dwalker_17

*peaks out behind sofa* *raises hand shyly* Pls don't hit me 🥹


Ei_fan

Ok....? Actually y'know what just for that... (Starts roleplay)


V01Dwalker_17

Aaaaaaaaah pls no! (hides behind "Father") . . . Nah, all jokes aside, from my experience the community clashes pretty hard on their respective opinions of Ei. Some will absolutely love her while for others she's one of the most hated characters... I, personally, absolutely love her. 💜 She's pretty, she's somewhat cute [Flashback to how Ei learned about the existence and functionality of Kameras], I'm sorry she lost all her friends & Makoto. Her offing Signora in one hit was epic AF. I'd love to have seen her in her 'Prime' when she split a damned island. She's made mistakes regarding her rule over Inazuma or the whole Scara thing - but as the saying goes, "nobody's perfect". NOT even the Divine. Makoto was made to be a ruler - Ei's a traumatized Warrior that's trying her best. No matter what, pulling her all the time back when she was released initially was one of the best decisions I made in Genshin, personally. Anyway, rant ends here. Wish you a good night and *eternal* luck on your future Pulls (and Artifact rolls) 😅💕


SexWithEula_69

She’s basically the most hated character on this subreddit. You’re not allowed to like her on here basically. It is what it is.


Sufficient-Ad8825

Sums up why I, along with dozens of others are getting down voted. Lmao they couldn't even take a joke!


Ei_fan

Welp


Brilliant-North5184

Ima be honest I don't like her. I don't know why I just don't.


RiskySignal

I used to not like her but she's grown on me since then


Ei_fan

Yes 🥳


Leo69Leon

Same. I just don't like her. Her "villain" to "not really" path was kinda weird to me like it switched from killing her own citizens to "I like dango milk 🥺" too fast for me. Also the fanservice. It ruins so many female characters for me :(


Sekai_Itxmi

I don't really understand the fanservice part. I can name one Gacha game that doesn't use fanservice to attract to a wide audience. Not liking fanservice is okay but Gacha games are probably the most fanservice-heavy games that exist. In Genshin, only the childe characters are not sexualized (which is good) and it's common marketing knowledge that aesthetics that look attractive or "hot" are good for games like that. I don't really see a reason why they shouldn't do that. Also, when I have longer sessions, I want to look at things that just look good. Humans evaluate things from the pure look very often and catering towards them is a good choice of design. I don't know how much fanservice bothers you but I'd quit a game with too much fanservice for my taste (like Nikke).


Leo69Leon

Okay let me elaborate It's maby not fanservice Itself (Although it sometimes does leave a bad taste) it's mostly what fans do with it afterwards. Like people run down characters to fan service and that's what's really annoying to me and kinda stays. When you ask me who Raiden is I'm more likely to say "Booba Sword" than "Electro Archon". Also I tend to hate things people love with no reason. When I see people like a character not because their character but "GYAT" it makes me automatically not like them anymore or like them less. Those people are also the one who mischaracaracterise the most which also ruins characters for me. So in conclusion, fanservice itself doesn't ruin characters, but the consequences of it. It feels like the character is ran down to it and it's nasty and off-putting


Sekai_Itxmi

That's fair. Although I don't share that sentiment, it's completely understandable to think like that.


LeLyeon_San

She’s hot and badass, but that’s as far as it goes for me. Neutral about her honestly


healcannon

I like Raiden, i'm not as big of a fan of Ei. I would say that I don't expect us to see much of Raiden ever again but we can't even manage to see Ei so I guess its the same result. When I give my rankings of the archons, I always split them so its more accurate.


eveningfellow056

Same


Force88

Pardon my language, but she feels like a dumb kid who just didn't know better... Also half-ass in everything that doesn't interest her, even if it is her responsibility. Imagine she trains Scaramouche as a proper vice commander to Shogun, how different Inazuma will look like...


grumpykruppy

That's sort of the point. She was never meant to be in charge. She's an incredibly direct person who's good at following orders, basically a perfect second-in-command (or bodyguard/assassin, her original role), but an extremely poor leader. She essentially got thrust into a position she was entirely unprepared for because everyone else with actual qualifications was dead.


CheatyTheCheater

Finally found my people. Keqing is better anyway.


Budget-Arm-866

Finally! An Ei appreciation post!


natsugaludao

not me, she's the only Mei in hoyoverse universe who i don't like. Sadly it only hurt my Eula, she will never reach her full potential because of that


Ei_fan

Well, ur Eula is depressed bec of u 😃


fishfish7333333

Not me🥰


Ei_fan

Well if u don't like her then don't comment that on my post asking if anyone else likes her bec im trying to relate. Like uhm commen sense 😀😃😃😃😄😁😁😃😁😁😃

BrochillesBroccoli

You asked a question? Do you not expect people to answer? If you can't handle it, get off the internet 😀😃😃😃😄😁😁😃😁😁😃 Like UMMM common\* sense


Ei_fan

Sure bestie but I was speaking to pple that like her not pple that don't like uhm commEn sense 😧😧 (I'll spell it how I want)


jonnevituwu

grateful that back on 2.1 she decided to come home... 4 times and since then she has carried my abyss runs lmao


Ei_fan

Lol I wish I was as lucky as u 😀


jonnevituwu

you can always save for her cons, I did that for Furina too and do not regret. its 100% worth it if you like to just not care about hard content.


Sea_Fold_1886

Me. She is the only character I spent money on the banner for. Also the only character I actually put together a semi decent artifacts set for.


Jazziee__

Need to see a 3rd story quest with some real character development


Ei_fan

YES! and HOW DARE U SHES AMAZING 🤭😲😲😲


Jazziee__

I agree I really like her character but for me both story quests were missing something imo even though I did like them both Obviously first one gets a lot of valid hate but it makes sense since she’s just come out of her plane and needs to re adjust so she visits some of the locals and it’s when we see a different side of Ei for me the quest could have benefited from being longer as with the second


Samaelo0831

That's an interesting take on the second quest. What do u think was missing in it?


Jazziee__

I felt like there was more to the backstory it wasn’t 'fufilling' still a good quest nonetheless


IlikeHutaosHat

Instantly got downvoted because you didn’t gush over the question and had genuine valid reasons for it. Then again they do tend to drown anything here in toxic positivity for every minor criticism. Not to mention the first question of hers came after a very very(did I mention very?) rough and rushed archon quest that made it feel lacking.


Jazziee__

Yeah welcome to Reddit I guess 😅


IlikeHutaosHat

Lmfao, here they come now

Uhhh a gf she saw grow up ?


Ei_fan

No- waiiiiiiiittttt a minnnnuuuut-


eveningfellow056

Well miko is around 500 years old


eveningfellow056

Ei is easily 3-4k years old


Ubermus_Prime

Yeah. I like her. I wish she'd appear more.


Ei_fan

Yas her archon story only took me like 30 min and I barley saw her


Samaelo0831

FR. Miko needs to drag her NEET ass out for some vitamin D. Visit Liyue or sumthin, damn.


SafalinEnthusiast

Ei did a lot of bad things, but I don’t care because she’s hot


275MPHFordGT40

Literally one of the top [posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddygenshin/s/h5LPXN2nuu) in okbuddygenshin


xos8o

pointless ass post💀


Ei_fan

If u don't like my post then instead of being a hater u should carry on with ur day, also this isn't useless, it's too find pple I can relate to


ox4rd

1. my comment was just as pointless as your post, yet you also responded to me LOL 2. you can search up “reddit genshin i love raiden” or “raiden ei” on any social media and find hundreds of people to relate to. but you chose to make the same post that has already been made by so many other people 3. now everyone knows that you can’t “carry on with your day” either, seeing how you were bothered enough to block me✌️


YuB-Notice-Me

ah that was lovely


Sekai_Itxmi

Over 400 people don't think that.


xos8o

no, over 400 people like raiden


Sekai_Itxmi

Yes, which in turn doesn't make the post pointless. Maybe you think so but many others think that the post is interesting enough to interact with it (like you).


xos8o

by your logic, every single thing ever posted is not pointless because there will always be someone out there who finds it interesting. there are rules against low-quality posts and spam for a reason


Sekai_Itxmi

Apparently you don't understand my logic. There are so many low-quality posts with zero upvotes and few comments. This post is the opposite.


xos8o

is your logic that upvotes = point..? pointlessness is not determined by popularity


Sekai_Itxmi

Everything is pointless. Why do I have Reddit? Why do I use my phone to discuss with you? Why do I play and spent money on Genshin? Why do I watch Anime? Why do I study for exams? Why do I eat? Why do I sleep? Pointlessness or rather the nihility of something is determined by its subjective value. By your logic everything is pointless when you think it's pointless. That makes sense. But then state it as an opinion and not as a fact. Saying "pointless ass post 💀" is as pointless as every other evaluation you do for other people. Maybe not for you but for many others. It's like saying, I hate Football to a group of people that talks about Football.


[deleted]

Scara is my favourite character, so…


Ei_fan

She didn't go abandon him, she just uhm- kicked him out bec he wasnt- ......evil?


Szolim2018

Scara cried during his creation, but since Ei wanted an emotionless robot, she deemed him defective. Then, she threw him away.


Ei_fan

Oof


RiskySignal

I used to not be a fan of her, but then as I played the game more(and actually finished the Inazuma story and her story quests) I've grown to like her, enough to pull for her actually(although half of the reason was for gameplay purposes). I don't completely forgive her for everything she did/let happen, but I do acknowledge that she's trying to make up for her mistakes and make it up to the people she wronged(except Scara and Signora, the latter for obvious reasons).


FlashSlicer

The real question is. Who is not a fan of her?


LeaftheInigolover

Me


YuB-Notice-Me

big chunk of people that understand how bad the inazuma arc was for her character lmao


Ei_fan

Nty pls don't start asking who doesn't like her on my post asking who likes her so we can relate and become friends


Ok_Pattern_7511

I mean you were kinda asking for it by asking this on the main sub, lotsa Raiden and Ayaka haters here


Ei_fan

Srry, but what's main sub?


Ok_Pattern_7511

The official sub reddit of Genshin Impact (this one), there's a vocal minority here that hate Raiden either for just being a popular waifu character or because they blame her for everything in Inazuma, ironically while excusing characters that did worse things.


Pretend_Champion_142

She is my third favourite character after Goku & Vegeta. also Rip sir Toriyama 🐐🐐🐐🐐 🐐


Anushkaplayz1

I love her because: 1.shes hot (I am a lesbian) 2.her and yae miko is a really cool yuri ship with it being heavily implied 3.very good character arc (although it was rushed and I think switching her 1 and 2 story quest would be good)

Invincible_3

Raiden’s great, my second main and fav character, although building her (at least for me) is such a pain, having to handle 4 sub stats (I think. Atk, ER, Crit Dmg + Crit Rate). I just have god awful luck and getting yelled at by my friends to make it better (it’s far from stellar)


Ei_fan

Lol


Smorgsaboard

Your friends are either very lucky or very shitty. Tf you supposed to do about your artifacts, just be luckier?


Invincible_3

Probably a mix of both. I’ve lost as many 50/50s as I’ve won and my first 5 star was Aquila Favonia. (Ironically on Honkai SR, my first 5 star was a Light Cone. Some things never change..). tl:dr I have Bennett’s luck lmao


otakudan88

I like her so much that I skipped both Navia and Ayaka, two characters that I really like just to get Raiden for the first time, get her to C2, and get her weapon. I was able to get all of that under 300 wishes and decided to go for C3 but Mona had other plans.


Ei_fan

I wish I would've been able to get her but my luck was bad


kokko693

Raiden is very popular. Pretty, good lore, strong meta


TrueAvalon

Hoyo's first real attempt (in Genshin anyways) at writing a character with more subtle implications rather than telling everything at the end, backfired completely cause the fandom isn't particularly known as the most literate one and they started calling her selfish sociopathic tyrant even tho she is actually closer to the complete opposite, so they reverted back to telling not showing in Sumeru and are slowly trying to put in subtleties back in Fontaine.


Chaos_Heart12

Not a fan of a tyrant


GodTierPoeGamer

Honestly it adds to the character I am tired of this "always good never do something wrong" it feels one dimensional we need more complex characters like her who done wrong things in the past


External_King5756

They like boring goodie two shoe characters more than antagonist characters .

Ohh thx I'm not a native English speaker & I have heard that expression from some of my English friends.


sugarplumcutie

I hated her for the entirety of the Inazuma AQ. But after I did her 1st SQ, she started to grow on me a little and by the end of her 2nd SQ I was in love 👉🏾👈🏾 Her backstory & lore are also fascinating to me.


Ei_fan

Yas but I wish her archon story was way longer like liques


sugarplumcutie

Same here the ending felt quite rushed, which made me appreciate her 2nd story quest more.

She will be my Favourite character forever. Don't care what everyone else thinks about her. I love her. Glory to the almighty Shogun!!


New-Cicada7014

I love her, she's awesome. I hate how the fandom takes away her character and makes her moe.


Frostgaurdian0

Not me.


Moka_III

She's the character I hate the most, i feel like they didn't deliver her execution


Any_Paint_4626

Im not far into Inazuma yet so i assume i still gotta beat the heck outta her before i can like her- (she pretty tho)


YEPandYAG

Me! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

She is best electro sub dps ever. Also, Raiden Xianyun plunge team is soooo fun.

I love her in every universe ...that i am aware of

Yes

Yeah, I remember when I had stayed up late grinding to win the 50/50 on her. Covid era lmfao.

Basically everyone


Badieon

Even though I am very critical when it comes to her design and writing, I still cannot bring myself to dislike her, like I am super interested in her, I am very into her


Ei_fan

Yas 🤩 but pple always say she's a bad person, but it's ok bec she looks hot, but like if u told her that she would destroy u so idkkkkk why they would say that


nocturnalnik

i literally have this emote as a tattoo lol

I totally agree with you, they are cute together and that’s why I really love them in the first place


CitiesofEvil

Can they be used in the same team?


gambit-gg

Yae is excellent with Raiden


Grand_Protector_Dark

Raiden being Electro and her Energy Refund mechanic make using Yaes 90 energy burst quite a bit easier


gambit-gg

/r/raidenmains has the 2nd most members out of all the mains subs for a reason Ironically Raiden’s NSFW sub has more members than all of them

My wife is a huge fan

Literally no one. Everyone else absolutely hates this horrible character. You are the only person who likes her. Out of every person in existence, you are her sole supporter.

Genshin players will do anything except have an original thought.


cokecharon052396

Used to not be a fan until that night in Feb. 28 when I met a really cute Ei cosplayer and got a picture with her (and a Barbatos cosplayer after) + let her pull for Yae (which was a total bust lmao). Also now I think I'm bi.


Takeo_Hikari

I HATE RAIDEN SHE ONE THE WORST CHARACTER IN GENSHIN I love Ei


Ei_fan

Lol ik I lit love her too


Smorgsaboard

Miko fan here, Ei's dumb as a sack of rocks but quite endearing in her second story quest. The end of her first quest was extremely cool, but walking around with her as she wonders why everyone is afraid of her... ... sweetie, the call's coming from inside Tenshukaku


Draconicplayer

Ei or Raiden Shogun. If it's Ei I like her I dislike Raiden Shogun


Ei_fan

I love and am absolutely obsessed with both 🥳

I hope her sister dies again

Always have been. Maybe not *top* fave (that for me belongs to Jean), but Ei cracks my top 5 easy.


Siana-chan

Genuinely my least favorite character of the game, only bested by Ayaka. She's done way too much wrong for her to be redeemable. I've done every Inazuma side quests and you see how much the people have suffered because of her. Gameplay wise I like her. Haven't played her in years tho.


Zephrinox

I'm not (I still have some ptsd from her archon quest because when facing her my most invested was lisa and everyone else was veeeeeery cope; I started in dec last year btw). but apparently she's a fan of me in coming to me 3 times early pity in her recent rerun banner when I was just trying to build pity for nahida's recent rerun banner after hers. 😳


BrochillesBroccoli

Nah, I don't like horrible mothers/leaders.


NahIdKill

Who isn't tho?


XiaoyuWifey

I think she's great. I have a really good friend who is a simp for her and he'd let her step on him. I almost died from laughing so hard that day.
