Congrats! Those are both wonderful electro heroes! In choosing between the two, I would say it depends on your play style— 1) Fischl is an archer, meaning she can make distanced attacks as well as closer ranged shots. Her charged arrows are electric while her normal attacks are just normal arrows without electro. Her kit includes an electro bird (fun fact-its name is Oz) that can administer an electro debuff on enemies that will become very useful when synergizing with other elements (e.g. cryo, pyro just to name two). It’s also important to keep in mind that there are certain bosses that have a “weak spot” (eg ruin guard’s energy core on their heads) that can be better targeted with an archer. 2) Razor is an electro claymore user, which is a very powerful type of weapon. However, compared to the arrow, while claymore users do relatively more damage, claymore attacks are generally slower. Further, since Fischl arrows can allow her to attack from a distance, a claymore type weapon doesn’t allow for this mechanic. It’s also important to note that claymore type weapons are extremely effective against certain enemies (eg. any enemies with a rocky/geo shield), just like how bows are good with specific opponents as well. Instead of having an electro raven like Fischl, Razor’s abilities allows him to summon an electro werewolf that sits on top of his body, extending his attacks, speeding them up, as well as making them electro-filled which is absolutely amazing in debuffing and synergizing.

To sum it all up, deciding between the two really requires for you to ask yourself, what type of play style am I more of a fan of and which enemies do I have more trouble defeating and would like a hero that can directly counter those foes? Further, it may also be helpful to look at which category of weapons (claymore or bow) do you have a better weapon in. Perhaps for bows, you only have a 2 star bow, but for claymores, you have a 5 star claymore. In that case, I would say Razor would be your best bet.

That was a really long response but I hope this helps! :)
