The 2.0 update hit fire main really hard.
1. They got rid of Fire main's best friend, Tobi.
2. The way they changed how Fire Dragon work made it not viable in pvp even with the new level 85 passive. Now Fireball is meh, Fire Dragon is not viable because it's not like Lightning's Chidori or Water's Shark Bomb or Earth's . Why I said it's not viable because :
can stop enemies from combo.
knockdown and water's chase can cause which prevent the enemy to do anything.
created shield
While Dragon Fire and it following chase from fire main only cause ignite and require fire main to play aggressive but provide no defend option like others. Fire main is not wind main who rely on pure damage mystery.
The seal? There are many ninjas that can do that job and even do it better a.k.a Ao and friends.
So the only mystery high level fire main c*e is the new mystery. Don't get me wrong, that skill is OP af and I love it. Just the rest of his mystery are not really viable atm.

The new passive which increase 15% ninjutsu and leach HP is good but not enough. The reason why anbu tactis is good because it combine and work really well with root of warrior while fire main don't have root of warrior . If fire main want to be root of warrior wannabe he must use it as his mystery, that's mean he can't really benefit much from the HP leech just by standard attack and chase.
Same for the level 85 passive. It's really good and work the same like Warrior's Killing Intent but fire main is not lightning main. Lightning main c*e his chidori to kill a clone and take a hit, next round he will chidori again while fire main can't, he c*e fire dragon to kill a clone and reset cd BUT when he take a hit, he CAN BE cc and has very high chance to not be able to do anything next round.

Fire main currently wandering around the line beween a support and a damage dealer, his skill set is not sync very well imo. Or maybe I just can't find a way to utilize him yet. This post was last edited by Kouka at 2017-1-6 21:38
