Raiden (Uber Rare Cat)

Raiden is an Uber Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the Lords of Destruction Dragon Emperors and Red Busters events. True Form increases range, speed, and grants the ability to be strong against Red Enemies.

Cat Unit # 87
Uber Rare Cat

Cat

Evolves into Dragonslayer Raiden at level 10.

Evolves into God-Emperor Raiden at level 30 using Catfruit.

Pros:

• Fine movement and attack speed. (Faster movement speed in True Form.)
• Good stamina and DPS. (Higher health in True Form.)
• 100% chance to knock back Red Enemies. (Also strong against them in True Form.)
• Fast attack rate and animation.
• Cheaper than other Uber Rares in the same set.

Cons:

• Bad range for an Uber (slightly better in True Form.)
• Quite slow recharge time.

Strategies/Usage

• Raiden is extremely efficient at keeping away powerful Red enemies. Although he has mediocre range, he still outranges many threatening Red enemies, such as Capy, Berserkory, and Bore. Think of him as a superpowered Pirate Cat. Works extremely well on Last Gang as support.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Looks like a mechanical dragon. It has machine guns as arms and a tail and has jets for wings.
• Evolved Form: Larger and looks more deadly. It also slightly has more color in black and white, with symbols on shoulder pads.
• True Form: Even larger, with large spikes coming out of wings. Larger machine guns, that are black, and shoulder pads are glowing orangey-yellow. Same glow emitting from wings, and tail, which has morphed into a large glowing black laser. Large spikes everywhere, especially on face, which has a glow emitting from it.

Trivia

• Raiden is the only unit in all "Dragon-like Units" that is not a living creature.
  • This unit is also the only unit in the Dragon Emperors Set that has a 100% chance to activate its ability from the beginning.
  • This is likely also based on Raiden from the Metal Gear Series, who is a cyborg.
