Hello there Achroma here, doing a thread about the different usages of Hashirama Senju!


I will divide this into 3 sections one for Ninetails teams, one for ranked and one for 1v1/war situations.

Ninetails Lineups :


Standard Hashirama ninetails team



This is the standard Hashirama Ninetails team. It does an incredible amount of damage and can be used for any of the mains. The only difference in them would be the main and the talents. This is ofcourse not the ideal ninetails lineup for all mains it is however incredibly good for everyone of them.

Midnight Blade Talents


Worth to note is that Lightning assasination blade (Third standard) does more damage, however i prefer using the first one to get out 10 hit combo each round for Iruka's chase.


Azure Fang Talents



Breeze Dancer Talents



Crimson Fist Talents + Additional lineup




Crimson does not need Windblade asuma as his pose of duel does the same thing, replacing him with someone like eight inner gates lee is a good idea.


Hashirama in ranked:

Hashirama is used most efficently in a konoha lineup for ranked.

This is also the best ranked lineup you can currently have ingame, however many of the ninjas in them are quite expensive.

Hashirama is a solid ground to build your ranked around as his barrier and passives + his chase works in most situations.

Worth to note is that you should basicly always have him together with Sage naruto and Iruka in ranked. This is to make Iruka use his mystery so he gets hit by all interupts and then Hashirama c*e barrier after Sage naruto has given him chakra.

This is of course also feasible with other chakra gainers like Tobi/Sage Jiraiya etc.



This is an example of a solid Ranked Hashirama team that works. You can of course switch out Tobi for anyone else doing Knockdown to low float, for example Sage Jiraiya.

Worth to note is that Hashirama works extremly well with Orochimaru Konoha's traitor in ranked. As the immobile passive stacks and you can get off 4x immobilize each round aslong as the barrier is up.


The other teams should of course have other konoha in them ideally. Personally my current ideal Ranked team is:

Top team: Susanoo sask, Sage jira, Bs kakashi, Kt Oro

Middle team: Minato, Sage Naruto, GnW sai, Iruka

Bottom team: Watermain, Eightspan bird summon, Tsunade fifth hokage, Tobirama, Hashirama


However he is of course usable and also very good even before you are capable of building teams like this!


Hashirama in 1v1 Situations :

Hashirama is most commonly used in 1v1 when you have lower initiative then the opponent and want to override the barrier in the current meta. This does not mean he is only used by people with lower initiative however as he is very usefull eitherway with a guaranteed interupt as he chases and a +30% Nin boost before he event gets up barrier he is a real powerhouse.


Example of teams:

Minato + Hashirama + Firemain





Sage Naruto + Hashirama + Firemain




Both of these can be used with Giant Katsuyu Summon aswell.

Midnight+Hashirama+Tobirama (the oh* what did i get into lineup)


Gamaken Summon

The watermain Tsunade + Hashi combo



Eight Span bird.





Keep in mind these are not the "best" lineups but rather im using them as an example for the myriad of possible teams with Hashirama.

He is an extremely capable ninja in many situations!


Hope this helps some people out /Achroma
