Strategy[]
His low stats and mediocre passive limit his use in high-level gameplay. However, his tag-in attack can remove huge amount of health, even at low fusion rank. Raiden can also chain his basic and special attacks right after the lightning strike, landing those attack unblocked.
His tag damage was affected by Toughness until some patch after 2020, now his tag in attack ignores it.
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[]
- Kenshi/Elder God: Raiden will get +20% critical hit chance on basic attacks, and immunity to critical attacks from Kenshi.
- Rain/MK11: Raiden's lightning attacks can damage tagged-out Soaked opponents with Rain, as well as getting 400% Recovery increase.
- Sonya Blade/Klassic: Her SP1 apply Shield Break on the entire enemy team, allowing Raiden's lightning strike to work more effectively.
Good Against[]
- Characters with high health.
- Jason Voorhees/Nightmare: His tag-in and basic attacks help Raiden deal a lot of damage without using special attacks.
Countered By[]
- Raiden/MK11: MK11 Raiden and his MK11 teammates are immune to Thunder God Raiden's Power Drain on SP2.
- Raiden/Dark & Liu Kang/Klassic: Power Drain on his SP2 can benefit them.
- Characters with Snare: They can limit the usage of his passive.
