Raiju isn’t a guard breaker.
Trading Raiju’s 1-second stun for 5,000 MP (especially when you still have to wait four seconds before you can use Purify again) isn’t a good trade.
What happened to Guard as an option?
As I’ve said, it’s your personal choice, and I’m not here to question it.

It’s fine if you disagree with my take; I’m simply presenting my perspective along with my supporting arguments.
You can certainly do the same and present your own reasoning.
Overall, the reception to the new Purify change has been negative across all four regions—that much I can concur with.
