As with all shield bots, you are not indestructible when in a Raijin (although you do come the closest FWIS, except for maybe Ancilot). It is for this reason that you should use the most powerful weapons in the Heavy category (i.e. Zeus or (on some maps) Thunder) so as to destroy your enemy before he/she destroys you.

Compared to the Galahad and Gareth, the Raijin trades mobility for more health, better shielding and more firepower. Compared to the Rhino, it trades mobility, and some shield strength for full access to turning and weapons. Compared with the Lancelot, the Raijin has similar shielding, more (or less) speed, more health and less firepower.

I do think the Raijin could use a bit of a buff to shield strength (they aren't weak, it's just the Raijin cannot retreat, making them seem weak sometimes), but not a massive one.
