Chinese gaming developer miHoYo has seemingly confirmed that Raiden Shogun or Baal is the next playable character to be introduced in "Genshin Impact" but it has not revealed a lot of details about the powerful character. Fortunately, several leaks recently surfaced online offering information about Baal's stats, weapons, skills and even animations.

Industry insider Wangsheng Funeral parlor shared interesting details revealing more information about the Electron Archon Baal. On Discord, the insider claimed that the upcoming character's Elemental Burst is called Secret Art: Musou Shinsetsu Gathering. This ability reportedly enables the character to release the Musou no Hitotach and causes AoE Electro damage.

Raiden Shogun also has the Musuo Isshin form, which she can use in combat for a certain period and is somehow similar to the Elemental Burst of Beidou. The insider also mentioned that the damage dealt by Baal's attacks would be based on the amount of Shogun Byakugen stacks she had consumed after activating her Elemental Burst. Moreover, in this state, Baal infuses her Normal, Charged and Plunging Attacks with Electro damage, which could not be overridden.
