Raiden is a classic character of the Mortal Kombat franchise and is nothing less than the God of Thunder and protector of the kingdom of the Earth. Very powerful, the character returns in MK 11 with new blows and fatalities, and the possibility of having his skills customized to surprise his opponents. Want to learn to play well with the fighter? Then follow the tips on how to play with Raiden in Mortal Kombat 11.
1. Mortal Kombat 11 Raiden: Combat Profile
Raiden, as stated before, is the God of Thunder and, like lightning, the character is extremely fast and able to reach an opponent with certain ease, even if he is on the other side of the scene. This makes him a great fighter to surprise slower and heavier players.
If you are controlling Raiden, take advantage of the variety of strokes of the fighter – for both short and long range. Another advantage is that he can switch between one form of attack and another in seconds.
On the other hand, Raiden falls into the “curse of the classic characters that everyone knows” and some of his scams can be perceived, before they happen, by more attentive opponents. It is relatively easy, for example, to block his most famous blow: “the flight of Superman.” The trick is to customize your attacks and try to be less predictable.
