Long story short, I think raijins are a waste of wp in most scenarios. Midrange raijins are ok (although natasha can do the same thing) but thunder raijins and even other close range raijins are useless unless u land in on a beacon in br at the perfect moment and the enemies react slowly. And after that ur legs are probably destroyed and ur on 5 hp. With the exception of ember sometimes, any robot with a physical shield and orkans can wreck a raijin at 300m. Even if the raijin has embers, the physical shield bot can empty orkans and get back in cover, reload and fire again. So basically unless a thunder raijin somehow appears right next to u at >150m u have won the fight. U could argue that ember or redeemer raijin is (sometimes) good but there are so many other better ember/redeemer builds, like lancilot ember/redeemer tarans. Now don’t start saying things like ‘but the lancilot costs 5k gold and the raijin is only 15k wp’ coz if u have 2 embers or redeemers, u probably have enough gold for a lancelot. Now why is the lancilot better? It is faster when rushing, it’s legs don’t get stuck around every corner and it’s physical shield is always active and u don’t have to stand still to get a damage boost, this means u can outrange orkan builds. And also because u have less health, u aren’t a magnet to tryhards grinding for silver. Also midrange raijins aren’t great either tbh. If u have dragoons, put them on a natasha with gekkos or on a fury if u have 3. If u have tempests, put them on a natasha or fury. Coz the raijin is so big it’s legs get stuck around corners so u have bad mobility. Also most of the time u have to get in bastion mode so u get a damage buff (if u don’t do it what’s the point in using raijin). With natasha or fury u have better mobility and u always do ur high damage. Then raijin with trebs is just bad, we can all agree on that. So now u see why I dislike the raijin. I mean, it looks cool, if that make u happy.
