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.
