Raiden/MK11

Health: 1300
Toughness: 1000
Recovery: 1000
Power Gen: 100%

## Strategy

Raiden's passive allows him to consecutively stun his opponent. As such, it's recommended to equip him with block-breaking items (like Shuriken), to effectively finish a combo ender. While the enemy is stunned, it's possible to stack this effect, but it's also a good idea to use a Special Attack since the enemy won't be able to block. Raiden's SP1 can be blocked, so it's wiser to pick a good moment. However, it can be used to simply dispel any debuffs.

## Interactions

Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against **Raiden**. Having a card that "counters" **Raiden** does not mean it is always a good choice.

### Good With

* MK11 Teammates.
* Kenshi/Elder God: If teamed up with Kenshi, Raiden gains increased critical chance as well as immunity to critical hits, which can stack with his power drain immunity.

### Good Against

* Power Drainers: Raiden renders himself and MK11 teammates immune to Power Drain.
* Jacqui Briggs/Prime, Kung Jin/Marksman, Scorpion/Hanzo Hasashi, Shinnok/Vengeful, Goro/Tigrar Fury, Baraka/Scourge, Kano/Black Dragon & Raiden/MK11: These characters have bonus effects on their combo ender, which Raiden can disable those.
* Brutalities: Raiden disabling combo ender make opponent cannot perform Brutality and their special high damage combo ender.

### Countered By

* Liu Kang/Klassic, Raiden/Dark, and **Raiden/MK11** (himself): All 3 characters are immune to Raiden’s Power Drain on Fatal Blow, with enemy MK11 Raiden spreading this immunity to MK11 teammates.
* Tanya/Treacherous: Tanya reduces the effects of Raiden’s Power Drain on Fatal Blow.
* Terminator/Dark Fate: Terminator can evade Raiden’s Krushing Blows and Fatal Blows, limiting the effectiveness of Raiden’s Passive.
* Kabal/MK11: If Raiden stuns one of Kabal's MK11 teammates via combo enders, Kabal will give the stun back to Raiden.
* Jade/Assassin: Jade can evade Raiden’s combo ender and limit the effectiveness of Raiden’s Passive.
* Sonya Blade/Kombat Cup: Sonya and her Kombat Cup teammates are immune to Raiden’s Stun on Combo Ender.
