Strategy
Interactions
Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Raiden. Having a card that "counters" Raiden does not mean it is always a good choice.
Good With
- Weak Point Attacks: This talent is overpowering to Raiden’s opponents. Since Raiden can Power Drain the opponent doing absolutely nothing, he can snare his opponent forever without even needing to use his Special 2.
- Kenshi/Elder God: Because he is an Elder God, Raiden will gain Critical Chance and gain Critical Immunity thanks to Kenshi.
- Liu Kang/Fire God: Raiden receives basic attack unblockable chance and tag-in assist from Liu Kang.
Good Against
- Opponents that start with an X-Ray or Fatal Blow: Raiden’s passive siphons opponent's power not giving them a chance to use their ultimate move.
- Opponents who rely on Tag Passives or utilize Tag attacks, like Scorpion/Inferno, Liu Kang/Flaming Fists, Raiden/Thunder God, Raiden/Klassic, Jade/Assassin, Bo' Rai Cho/Dragon Breath, Jade/Day of the Dead, Erron Black/Black Dragon, Scorpion/MK11, Kabal, etc: Injustice 2 Raiden can easily nuke these characters and prevent them from tagging in often, thanks to his Special 2 and if he has it, the Weak Point Attacks talent.
- DOTs: Like Klassic Raiden, If hit with Bleed, Poison or Fire, Injustice 2 Raiden can easily rinse off the DOT using his Special 1.
- Kenshi/Ronin, Kintaro/Shokan Warrior, Jax Briggs/Klassic & Noob Saibot/MK11: Parts of passives of these characters involve blocking special attacks to activate, but both of Raiden's special attacks are unblockable.
Countered By
- Jade/Klassic: Jade and her Klassic teammates are immune to Snare.
- Kabal/MK11: Kabal can reverse the Stun from Injustice 2 Raiden's passive.
- Liu Kang/Klassic, Raiden/Dark and Raiden/MK11: All of these characters are immune to Injustice 2 Raiden’s middle-of-battle Power Drain, with Dark Raiden gaining the Power, MK11 Raiden spreading the immunity to MK11 teammates and Liu Kang gaining basic attack boosts for every power draining second.
