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 added in 5.8 increases health, 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:

• Fast attack rate and animation.
• High movement speed (HIgher in True Form).
• Good stamina and DPS.
• 100% chance to knock back Red Enemies (Also strong against them in True Form).
• Decent deploy cost.

Cons:

• Rather short range except in True From.
• Quite slow recharge time.

Strategy/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.
• Raiden can be used as a very effective counter to powerful, short-ranged Red Enemies such as Bore, Red Cyclone or Shy Boy, but doesn't work well if there are also backliners, especially ones that aren't red.
