Strategy/Usage

Raiden is extremely efficient at keeping Red enemies away. Despite his mediocre range, he still outranges threatening Red Enemies such as Capy, J.K Bun Bun and Bore, acting like a superpowered Pirate Cat.

Raiden might cause more harm than good if there are backliners, especially ones that aren't Red.

Raiden is a decent generalist, but definitely not the best.

True Form

In True Form, Raiden gains the strong ability, more range and health, improving Raiden's usability by a decent margin. Raiden's range increases from 385 to 415, it's worth the evolution as it makes Raiden have slightly more survivability and can now outrange threats like Le'boin, increasing his usage in mid-game and some parts of late-game. The biggest improvement is his Strong ability, making him have 130k health, 37k attack power (9k DPS). It's certainly not game-changing, but the improvement is worth the Catfruit it costs.

Talents

God-Emperor Raiden's talents can truly make him a god on certain stages with red enemies. Starting off strong with the dodge ability, it is definitely his best talent at a solid 30% chance for up to 2 seconds, greatly improving his survivability, which is crucial with his 2 minute recharge. Resist Freeze is not a super helpful talent and isn't recommended, while the stat boosts help him out both as a generalist and a specialist, it is recommended to use Catseyes first and then get these, but only if you are drowning in NP. Do not get his knockback immunity talent as it actually makes him worse.
