I didn't start this debate ("war"), you did by randomly saying you hate the Raijin, when the original topic was about the Hydra..

I use a Dragoon Raijin (yes I am in Champion League), and it is extremely underrated.

When you said you have to wait 3 seconds to shoot before Bastion mode activates, is inaccurate, you can shoot before it is even fully deployed and before it is fully undeployed.

To say this robot is totally useless, is also untrue. This robot dramatically boosted my main hangar, from being stuck at Master II to easily make it to the Champion League.

I agree that this robot is not best used as a brawler, but it can excel as a mid-range support unit. Sure, overall the Fury is capable of dealing more damage, but it is much more vulnerable to the dreaded Shocktrains (so common in Champion). With the Raijin if you deploy bastion mode at the same time a Shocktrain fires at you it will completely miss the Raijin (the shot sails over the robot), and this happens frequently as I deploy and undeploy a lot.

I don't have more more to add from what Alias and Lion have said, other than I can attest to the Dragoon Raijin being a beast. In most cases having 3 Dragoons is overkill anyways, the equivalent of 2.6 when in bastion is plenty sufficient.

Also, it is more cost effective, needing only 2 Dragoons compared to 3, and the Fury is a more expensive robot on top of that.

Lastly, to say HP doesn't matter (as much) with mid-ranged builds is also untrue, due to there being very damaging mid-ranged weapons being used these days.

Why must you bring up what "pros" have said? They are just as opinionated as normal people, and not even necessarily better than some ordinary players (who don't stream on youtube/twitch).
