User blog comment:Monkey Doctor 33/Wrath of the Heavens! Imperius (Diablo III) vs Raiden (Mortal Kombat)/@comment-25242759-20190630024337

'''Deathblade's "Against his kind, there can be only blood for blood!" edges'''

Okay

Weapons and Abilities: Raiden. As both Laqy and Battlefan have said, Raiden's staff acts perfectly as a conduit for his electrokinetic attacks. While Solarion has some real nice features (ala Mjolnir-level), it's essentially a really fancy spear. In terms of abilities, the only thing Imperius has going for him is his ability of Telekinesis and that's about it. Raiden stomps him out of the park with the versatility of his attacks.

X-Factors: Imperius. While Raiden definitely has some nice feats, Imperius has not just faced the forces of the Burning Hells, but the three Prime Evils at multiple points in the conflict including Diablo as Tathamet reborn i.e. the embodiment of all evil not just terror. The fact that Imperius not just survived his brief battering from Tathablo (horrible name I know) but actually recovered in time to face his brother, Malthael's, assault the High Heavens is a testament to his durability and his perserverance. So all in all, Imperius gets this.

Winner: Raiden. While Imperius is undoubtedly more durable, Raiden just stomps him in terms of weaponry and powers. Being experienced and durable is one thing, but when all your powers are countered and used by your opponent, you've essentially got nothing going for you. And this judgement's coming from a Diablo fan.

Predictions:

Raiden: 1900

Imperius: 1100
