You really kinda need Darui / Ao or even Mifune to make the most out of him.

I've recently tried him with earth main and it seems to be decent, his main issue is that he is squishy and all he really does is jump around and splash water at people. By using earth main you can put a meatwall in front of him and constantly apply shields, couple that with with a good chaser and/or utility, for instance tobi, tsunade, mabui etc. and you have a good way of clearing clones round 1 + potentially getting a combo off on someone. Although if you get Ao and want to use cho with him, definitely try to go water or fire main.

Also, it would help a lot of you could post screenshots of all the ninjas you have so we know what kind of teams you could potentially use.
