Intro

So I started playing Raijin when he first came out and I have loved him since. This build has helped me in ways I couldn't have imagined. Raijin is squishy so I had to take my time learning how to not make him so low.

Why is Raijin good and bad?

So Raijin does have his perks, but honestly, He can be kinda bad as well.



GOOD:



Burst Damage is big with Raijin; first off his Ult has insane Burst Damage. When he reaches level 5, his ult can take down an enemy around 40% health left. Also, his Second Ability (Raiju) can clear another squishy with his Passive.

Clearing is easy for this guy. All you gotta do is use your second ability on the minions then your first. EZ Clear, EZ Life. In solo this can help out a ton if say your playing against a god with bad clear at the beginning.

CC. Really, Raijins Ult can help you get out of a sticky situation. Don't be afraid to use it.

BAD:



Abilities are hard to hit. Raijin's Abilities are a mix between Ra and Hou Yi, well, not really. His 1 is hard to hit on a moving god, his 2 is hard to mark a god with, his 3 is kinda easy, and his ult travels slow-ish.

Slow. Raijin is slow even with boots. So He can't chase or run from gods easily.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
