Details[]
The Raiden is a gigantic 4m tall mech with samurai-shaped heavy plating and a skull-shaped mask. Due to its humongous size it is very slow, heavy and clunky but also extremely powerful, being excellent at crowd control with its long range attacks which deal massive damage. By changing into its Blaster Mode it becomes more nimble and capable of flight, but can only attack with projectile attacks which consume battery gauge. Because of this his battery gauge fills the fastest among all playable characters.
