Raijin marks a target enemy by dismissing his ally Raiju, who deals damage as he hides in the enemy's navel. While asleep, Raiju slows and reveals the target to Raijin's team on the minimap. The next time Raijin hits the target, Raiju awakens and claws his way out, doubling the slow and damaging the target and 5 nearby enemies every .5s for 2.5s in his attempt to flee. Subsequent enemies hit take decreased damage.

Taiko Drums

4 Y
Passive: Raijin gains increased Attack Speed.
Active: Raijin flies above the battlefield, beating his drum 4 times to summon peals of thunder. With each hit, he has a choice of three beats:

Beat one: 100% damage
Beat two: Taunt and 30% Damage
Beat three: Fear and 30% Damage

While in the air, Raijin suffers a 20% Movement Speed Slow.

Ability Type: Line, Crowd Control, Damage
Damage Per Hit: 100 / 135 / 170 / 205 / 240 (+40% of your Magical Power)
Taunt Duration Per Hit: .5s

Attack Speed: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25%
Range: 100
Cost: 90
Cooldown: 100s

Raijin is a front-line mage who bursts enemies extremely quickly, but has to get in a bit closer that other mages. Starting with Warlock's Sash will allow you to begin building stacks from the beginning for health so you are safer while fighting. The massive amount of power you get from this item at full stacks is also incredible. Second, build Book to get started on those stacks as well. After building Shoes of the Magi, move on to Polynomicon. This will give more mana to fuel Thoth's passive, as well as be a key part in your combo. Throw Raiju on an opponent, then hit them with a Basic attack which will set off both Raiju and Polynomicon, usually dealing 3/4 of a Mage's health in one go. Next, move on to Rod of Tahuti for obvious reasons. Afterwards, I like Spear of Desolation as the 120 Magical Power helps a lot on top of the Penetration. You may switch Spear and Rod order up if you prefer.

Hi, Im Rick Harrison and this is my Pawn Shop, I work here my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know WHAT is gonna come through that door.

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.
