I do not have the means to make a video myself. But you can find several good gameplay vids by Adrian Chong and/or Phoenix on Youtube. Although Adrian admittedly does not like it very much, he is fairly good at using it.

My advice for the most part is pretty simple. Basically you want to play it similar to how you would a Fury. However the Raijin has less trouble getting into range (due to both speed and health) with its Zeuses/Tridents, and is actually able to withstand enemy attack, due to Bastion mode.

Best setup is definitely Zeuses, as with these I find you can effectively suppress enemies and you have the DPM to hold down a beacon for a fairly long time, depending on what comes at you of course. Next best setup is Tridents, which deal less DPM, but greater burst damage, and they have splash, which is great for taking out shield bots, and also does not require lock-on. Third best setup is Thunders, which are very situational, but can be of great use holding down choke points, and beacons where the enemy must be very close to you.

Take this advice with a pinch of salt, as the Raijin can be difficult to use, and is easy to dismiss as useless. I would however say it is more cost-effective than the Fury, as it is pretty much better in all but one attribute, and costs less.

Now excuse me while I go prepare my flame-shields for the hate and criticism I am about to recieve.
