Highly distorted image of something wrote: look. I have tried zeuses on this bot. I have discovered that if you do want to boost the damage, you would need to activate bastion mode somwhere and sit there. After a few seconds, if you are sitting somewhere in the open, you will be fired upon. As a midranger, you don't want to be exposed. Sitting in one place where you can't move is very inconvenient, especially where you have to deactivate, move for less than a second and activate again.

"you don't have to boost the damage"

well if you don't boost the damage, then why use a raijin? Just grab the faster carnage, the stronger natasha or fury, or even the more mobile leo. They will have roughly the same firepower, if not more but still have the mobility.

As for thunder, it is a sustained fire weapon, meaning the immobility is somewhat balanced out by the constant damage output. The zeus also fires about 6x slower than the thunder with the same damage per shot.

As for the trebuchet, it has a VERY long reload time, meaning that it can activate bastion, shoot, deactivate bastion and have plenty of time to reposition.

The raijin only has 3 roles. A brawler, an ambusher or a sniper. Any non-sustained midrange weapons with short reload times are not good for this bot. Even tridents barely work on this as you would have between 4-6 seconds to move. A raijin cannot get very far.

Hope i cleared up some things here Ok, I see. I have been using the Raijin since it was added, and I think you're making things too complicated.

When piloting the Raijin, be it with Thunders, Zeuses or Tempests, you move to an advantageous position, activate Bastion mode and start firing. The only difference between Thunders and Zeuses is the distance you do this from. Yes, we may get fired upon, but that's why we're using Raijin instead of Fury, because it can withstand the damage.

When that position stops being advantageous, you deactivate Bastion and move. Rinse and repeat.

I use Zeuses the same way you use Thunders, albeit from a greater distance. I find Zeuses and Tempests to be the only setups worth using (just my experience, don't get triggered) because they are not so situational, like Thunders, and not a waste of the bot's potential, like Trebuchets.
