Razor
Razor is an easy, low-cost physical main DPS and a great pick for beginners since he's completely free. He's been powercrept by newer units, but his single-target damage still holds up if you farm CRIT. What matters most is a 4pc Pale Flame set and a Physical DMG goblet, plus a Cryo unit like Rosaria to trigger Superconduct and shred physical resistance. For weapons, Serpent Spine or a craftable 4-star is plenty, no 5-star needed.

Teams for Razor
Razor's talents
Steel Fang
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
Charged Attack
Drains Stamina over time to perform continuous spinning attacks against all nearby opponents.
At the end of the sequence, performs a more powerful slash.
Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.
Claw and Thunder
Press
Swings the Thunder Wolf Claw, dealing Electro DMG to opponents in front of Razor.
Upon striking an opponent, Razor will gain an Electro Sigil, which increases his Energy Recharge rate.
Razor can have up to 3 Electro Sigils simultaneously, and gaining a new Electro Sigil refreshes their duration.
Hold
Gathers Electro energy to unleash a lightning storm over a small AoE, causing massive Electro DMG, and clears all of Razor's Electro Sigils.
Each Electro Sigil cleared in this manner will be converted into Energy for Razor.
In the moment when lightning strikes, you can sometimes glimpse the look of a predator sizing up his prey deep within Razor's eyes.
Lightning Fang
The Wolf Within will fight alongside Razor for the skill's duration.
The Wolf Within
·Strikes alongside Razor's normal attacks, dealing Electro DMG.
·Raises Razor's ATK SPD and Electro RES.
·Causes Razor to be immune to DMG inflicted by the Electro-Charged status.
·Disables Razor's Charged Attacks.
·Increases Razor's resistance to interruption.
These effects end when Razor leaves the battlefield.
When Razor leaves the field, a maximum of 10 Energy will be returned to him based off the duration remaining on this skill.
The wolf has awoken. The hunt is on.
Awakening
Using Lightning Fang resets the CD of Claw and Thunder.
Hunger
Wolvensprint
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.
Witch's Eve Rite: Surge of Lightning
Additionally, Razor's Elemental Burst Lightning Fang is enhanced: The Wolf Within's DMG dealt is increased by 70% of Razor's ATK.
Hexerei: Secret Rite
While the Wolf Within summoned by Razor's Elemental Burst Lightning Fang is active, if the Electro Sigils from Razor's Elemental Skill Claw and Thunder overflow, the Wolf Within will call down a lightning strike on nearby enemies, dealing AoE Electro DMG equal to 150% of Razor's ATK and restoring 7 Energy to Razor. This effect can be triggered once every 1s.
Combat Rotation
- Before engaging, tap E — Claw and Thunder — repeatedly to stack up to 3 Electro Sigils, each one boosting your Energy Recharge.
- If you're short of the 80 Energy needed for Q, hold E once you have 3 Sigils to unleash a big AoE nuke and convert all Sigils straight into Energy as a mid-fight battery.
- Once you've banked 80 Energy, unleash Q — Lightning Fang — clearing all Sigils into Energy while summoning the Wolf Within to fight alongside you for 15 seconds.
- During those 15 seconds, just spam Normal Attacks (Charged Attacks are disabled anyway) since the Wolf auto-attacks with you, stacking extra Electro damage.
- Right after casting Q, weave in another tap-E immediately — the Awakening passive resets E's cooldown on Burst cast, so you can start restacking Sigils without waiting.
- Between Bursts (20s cooldown), keep tapping E to both apply Electro damage and refuel Energy for your next Q.
- Lean on the Hunger passive: below 50% Energy your Energy Recharge gets +30%, shortening the wait for your next Burst loop.
- If you need to swap off early while the Wolf is still active, try to stay close to the full 15 seconds — leaving early only refunds up to 10 Energy prorated by remaining duration.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- At Lv90, Razor already gets +30% Physical DMG Bonus baked into the ascension stat line — no artifacts needed for this part.
- The core mechanic (via Suppression) scales with HP — HP% is also an easy-to-find substat, and the character usually comes with high survivability too.
- 4★ (Claymore) — obtainable via the standard wish/banner, no need to pull on a limited banner.
- Since it scales with HP (via Suppression), it can't share ATK%-geared artifacts with other DPS — needs a separate HP-focused artifact/weapon set.
- The ascension stat isn't CRIT Rate/DMG — this kit isn't built to carry the team's main damage, fitting a support/sub-DPS role better than a main carry.
Role Rankings
Machine-classified by scanning mechanic keywords in the OFFICIAL skill text (not another site's opinion ranking). Characters whose weapon type is inherently elemental (e.g. catalysts, bows) may not show "Does this well" for On-Field even if they can still be played on-field — this is a limit of text-based detection.

A boy who lives among the wolves in Wolvendom of Mondstadt, away from human civilization. As agile as lightning.
- Affiliation: Wolvendom
- Birthday (day/month): 9/9
- Specialty dish: Puppy-Paw Hash Brown
- Namecard: Razor: Wolvensprint — Namecard style. It's quite a sight to behold Razor and the wolves prepare their dinner, but they won't let Klee or the Traveler see the slightly gruesome affair.
