I Don't Think So Wrath
With a long tap on the screen with one finger, Raiden can accumulate Thunderstorm Energy to unleash crushing damage on the enemy, taking 10% of the boss’s HP and 30% of the regular enemy’s HP and applying Slow. During the energy accumulation, Raiden is especially vulnerable and any Basic or Special Attack can interrupt his concentration, deal increased damage and energy will need to be accumulated again.

After performing Electric Rage (Special Attack 2), the enemy is enveloped in a lightning trap that prevents them from taking any action. The enemy can try to escape faster than the lightning will disperse on its own by beating the mini-game.

Team Passive

Defenders of the Earth Realm, winners of the tournament and their brave descendants receive +50% Basic Attack damage boost, and those who defeated the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung and saved the Earth Realm receive +10% Power generation.

Role

Klassic Movie Raiden is a setup attacker who trades a vulnerable charging period for health-based damage. His second special provides control that can help organize the next action.

Strengths

Thunderstorm Energy has an explicitly stated boss application as well as a stronger ordinary-enemy effect. This gives him a clear purpose against durable targets when a safe charging window exists.

Weaknesses

Incoming basic or special attacks interrupt charging and punish his vulnerability. The lightning trap can also end early through the opponent's escape minigame, so its full duration is not guaranteed.

Best teams

Favor allies that create control windows in which Raiden can charge safely. MK11 Sub-Zero can provide Freeze openings, while a teammate that prevents immediate enemy retaliation helps protect the vulnerable preparation.

Where to use

Use him for controlled boss or durable-target encounters, with protection for the charging phase. Avoid starting the charge simply because the resource is available while the opponent is free to attack.
