[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Raiden (ライディーン Raidīn) is an Esper that is obtained by bringing the Odin Magicite to the statue of the Queen in the basement of the Ancient Castle. The Queen will drop a tear, and it will hit Odin, who will transform into Raiden. Once Raiden is gained, Odin ceases to exist. Raiden's summon, True Edge (Shin-Zantetsuken in the Advance Version), deals instant death to all opponents. Its Hit Rate is 140, but it will fail on targets immune to instant death. However, it works against the undead and will stall an enemy's final attack one turn. It costs 80 MP to summon, and teaches Quick at a rate of X1.
Raiden's Level Up bonus increases Vigor by 2.
