Strategy/Usage

Normal/Evolved Form

Raiden is extremely efficient at keeping away powerful Red enemies, despite his mediocre range. This is because most the time, he still outranges many threatening Red enemies, such as Capy, J.K Bun Bun, and Bore, acting as though he were a superpowered Pirate Cat.

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.

In terms of generalist usage, Raiden is decent, but definitely not the best.

True Form

In True Form, Raiden gains the Strong Against ability, more range, and more health, improving Raiden's usability by a decent margin. Although certainly not game-changing, it is a decent improvement that is worth the Catfruit it costs.

Trivia

• Raiden is the only Dragon Emperor to not be a living creature.
• Despite being in a set of dragons, Raiden's second form is called a "Dragonslayer".
• This unit is also the only Dragon Emperor that has a 100% chance to activate its ability from the beginning.
• This could be based on Raiden from the Metal Gear Series, who is a cyborg.
