The problem with the Raijin isn’t its health, but it’s manuverability and firepower. 2 heavy slots is not really that much considering that in the current meta, mediums > heavy > light. The shield isn’t the problem either as the Raijin will usually doe before the shield breaks. The problem with the Raijin is that it is too slow and too fat to get to places fast enough. Take a look at the Griffin: it can cover 100m in 4.5 seconds. Or the Lancelot, where it can move at 50? Km/h during rush. The Raijin has only a constant speed of 36 km/h and cannot get to beacons in the same frame pf time that a Girffin or a Lancelot or a Dasher can.

Being durable isn’t a disadvantage or an advantage in the current meta, it’s just a disadvantage when you can’t even avoid the damage. That’s what makes robots like the Ancile Lancleot, Griffin and Dash so effective—because they can easily evade the damage. Avoiding damage is much better than soaking it up.

If the Raijin get more firepower, the Fury and Natasha won’t be useless, the Raijin will just be useful. There is a proposition in the forum that the Raijin be givin more ‘climbing’ ability which
