Most of the game's new content also take place in the island of Enkanomiya, making the version update a very Inazuma-heavy update. Raiden Shogun is a high-tier Electro Polearm user that is great in most Battery compositions, while Sangonomiya Kokomi is a fantastic healer that can help multiplayer parties clear Domains easily with her high damage and healing.
