They can occasionally be seen equipped with dual Thunders or Embers, as this setup can be effective at holding choke points on the smaller maps. Because of this, it is often equipped with sniping weapons such as the Nashorn or Trebuchet, although it is generally much more effective as a mid-ranger with 2 Dragoons or Zeuses. With this, the Raijin has the highest combined health (all the robot's health as well as that of its shields) of all robots in the game.Īt base level, it suffers from a rather slow speed. Its pair of physical shields are also extremely durable (170,000 health each). It should also be noted that the Falcon has 308,760 HP when in damage reduction mode, surpassing both robots (the Raijin has 300,000 HP at level 12 MK2) but only 186,000 HP with its ability activated. It only loses to the Invader in terms of health, which maxes out 305,000 HP. The Raijin is the second most durable robot in the game with a health pool of 250,000 HP at level 12, surpassing even the Leo at 244,000 HP.

The shields do not protect the Raijin from splash damage, or sideways and vertical impacts from homing missiles such as Spirals and Hydras. Just like actual Écus, if enough damage is dealt to the shields they will eventually break, albeit the separate health pools usually cause them to break off one at a time.

This provides both protection and a better field-of-view to fire its weapons at the cost of the Raijin being unable to move. This robot has a special ability, called Bastion Mode, it raises the Raijin's two shields (which resemble a pair of Ecus) while elevating its torso and gaining a 30% damage increase for each weapon separately. The Raijin is a quadrupedal heavy robot with 2 heavy hardpoints.
