While much about Ra-Den is not yet known (aside he was the guardian of the Titan weapon in MSV and empowered Lei Shen probably by force). Do you think we would be "too weak" to defeat Ra-Den have he not been for his obvious injuries. It seems like that was the work of Lei Shen as I doubt Ra-Den would empower the Thunder King out of his own accord. I know that from a story perspective there may have been some gimmick that would allows to defeat a Titanic Guardian if he would be in his prime/un-injured
Basically what I am getting at is..do you think that have not Ra-Den would be weaker than his former self we would have to harness the power of Sha (much like Garrosh wants) to be able to match his power. Or trying to use the Divine bell as another alternative. Are we "lucky" that we are able to go toe-to-toe with this titan guardian as mortals due to his current "condition". Was the story written in such a way that ra-den had to be weakened for us to fight him without using Sha/Divine bell as then the repercussions of such a story would have negative consequences to a point of "why did we do this if we knew this was going to happen".
Unless this whole thing would go 180 on me and his injuries only empowered him greatly with corruptions of some sort much how XT was when we killed his heart of something along the lines of "Titan was too pure to corrupt from the outside so he had to be cut for corruption to seep in" type deal.
What's your take on Ra-Den as we know him currently.
