huh? I'm ftp and I have all 3 of the ninjas....

That said, I hate that statement equally, it's flawed logic. If that worked, no game would ever need any balancing.

They cant only 1 can Gnw tenten can do in first round but chakra already consume so Mei cant cast on second round... and Mabui dead so easy.........

your wrong mei casts 2nd round + u have spare chakra. nvm sorry bro u already considered maboy dead. This post was last edited by BabaKsA at 2017-3-13 01:36

Listen here you smart boy i stop tenten round 1 k i do it then on round 2 she c*e water main heal , mabui mystery , mei mystery and tenten mystery how the hell do i counter that without going lighting . Iruka's interrupt is useless the whole interrupt system is useless vs mysteries which are prompt.

ye i have a f2p friend that has hashirama from luckyboard and iv done over 3-4k rolls there and no hashi from that :P its not impossible but when u state something "f2p" Mei as iv seen on our server is hardest of ther barriare kages to get. but then again i got her on my first 80scrolls +/- so yea for me Gara is hardest, still dont have him and not going for that anymore anyway.

focus out mei or maboi they are the problem causes. + you answerd yourself. you have your solution which doesnt involve you getting new OP ninjas, but just changing main class. This post was last edited by BabaKsA at 2017-3-13 01:35

This is the typical setup of Azure-mei-mabui-tenten lineup:



It's a quite annoying lineup in arena where both poison/ignition plays a big role and this team can do both.
Here main have heal in both standard and mystery.

As for how this team works:
1) You acupunture/immobile tenten round 1, mabui heals her and then she goes, dealing AoE dmg which also does poison.
2) You acupunture mabui, she heals and tenten goes. You immobile mabui, main heals her and then she and tenten goes round 1.

On round 2, if you lose to mabui in terms of initiative, she c*e her mystery and generate enough chakra for mei to go. If you somehow manage to immobile/acupunture mei/mabui here, main can cast heal and then they will go as usual. Because of having 2 healer debuffs such as poison/ignition doesn't work well against this team, whereas this lineup can keep doing stackable poison damage.
In short, using cc on this team can be really tricky.

One easy counter can be to bring a manual barrier ninja and remove mei barrier round 1. but even then, things doesn't bemore to easier. Both tenten/mei and myetery that has 2 round cd. As long as main is alive team will keep doing poison damage. Ig mabui is alive then tenten-mei can have enough chakra for mystery.

Not everyone plays as MB to run RoW. if you are using other teams, how do you counter it? using which lineup?
Maybe a elaborate answer with steps will help quite a few people here, as this team is very very effective in arena where our stats are reduced.
Thank you. Waiting for some good answers.

Suggestion: combo the mabui 1st round, get her as low as possible , round 2 .. kill her then focus main next

though you need high damage and ignition might help in this case coz of the main's mystery heal 2nd round
plus if you can both mabui and tenten low ( or anyone thats get dmg by standard attack) .. is better coz eventhough there are 2 healers.. they gonna heal lowest

Mabui's heal: i heard its a bug because she remove all debuffs when the description says otherwise

Tbh, this isn't even the best arena lineup. Chojuro/Ao/Mei/Water actually rips the meta water lineup up in arena.

Fighting water meta takes a bit of strategy, but it has one big flaw: it's actually VERY squishy (hence, why it gets ripped apart in arena). Water meta is the one of the best lineup to fight weaker opponents (and is the fastest way to kill much weaker opponents), but if you fight someone stronger, this lineup is not as great. Judging from all the moaning on the forums about this lineup for months now, I presume that you are not stronger than the people you fight who are using this lineup.

So, how do you beat water meta? There's a few ways, the first being RoW, which everyone knows. The second is to use a healer (preferably Sailor Sakura) or another method of debuff clearing. I used to run the Empress Mei lineup with SSakura instead of Mabui, which virtually allowed for debuff clearing every turn (plus good healing). Yes, the raw damage of both Mei/GNW Tenten's attacks hurt, but the ignite and poison does moreso.

Third, run Acu/Immobile/Chaos/Interrupt. There are numerous sources of this (Ao, Iruka, Danzo, Gaara, Mei, and many more) that really mess up the strategy of any lineup.

If you're fighting a meta water team that has roughly equivalent power, the mystery attacks hurt, but they're not impossible to overcome. If you're getting severely crippled by them, either the opponent is much stronger (and thus, you need to devote more resources to power), or you need to get better at game mechanics and strategy.

AIDS team dont people realise that they have 2 healers ? Even if you cc them they will get healed and do everything as usual .

There are much more Mei on my server than Garra.
For one, I have never seen anyone "getting" Garra, but have seen people "getting" mei at least 3 times (you know, the server message thing)
For another, only like 2 people I know are using garra, whereas there is literally a dozen people using mei, most of which being ftp (ptw are mostly clustering to lightning on my server, with a bit of fire).

I personally got Mei on my first rare, and still no garra after my 4th, I'm a wind main so it annoys me.... at least Mei's a girl I guess...

lol iv spent over 500 scrolls that should be enough to have "all" the kages but just as u im lacking Garaa. But when i see other people f2ps they do have Garaa, and one day it went even a Danzo spree on those doing free try pulling danzos i think it was like 2-3 guys in a row. same thing with mifune once. idk tbh how this works, my friend got onoki as one of his first im having him as 2nd last of the kages.

Bro came across a video that would help you out a lot i guess:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYCwBQbuwec
its one of kaizers and well u see urself how it goes just start at around 3min if u want to skip other talk.

but they are squishy as though.

Round 1, You can acupuncture GNW Tenten, Mabui's shield still won't break so either Azure (if u play her) or Mabui can't heal her. They just sit on 60 chakra for nothing.

Or you can play someone who can leech enemy's chakra by attack, such as Torune, Kisame etc. That's another way to stop Tenten from activate her skill at round 1.

This team is glass cannon. they can't survive in long fight or vs someone has better initiative.

if you save your coupons you can have her in events...... so i have her and the crit is 1 hit kill

we re talking about tenten now right? yes all ninjas are "f2p" after all. you can over a certain tain even obtain itachi susano, but thats like 2-3-4-5years of stacking seals and using them wisely. as for myself to consider a ninja f2p i would say all the group shop ninjas + the ones you can sweep. (Even if you need lvl 88) Gakido is now a f2p ninja (and i never bought him just for that reason). A lot of people also stack coupons for Iruka, but thats another "f2p" ninja which u can obtain over time just by stacking 5star coupons - i myself have managed getting 20 fragments that way no "stressing" on using the 5star ninjas - . Ofc were talking about 2-3k only coupons now but for a 100% f2p player that could be spent on ex. lucky board and have a chance to obtain some more power.

I'd love to see a lineup against the water meta, where you are at a initiative disadvantage.
So far, my best working one is Scarlet Blaze, Sage naruto, Mei, and Ao, where I got a 50% win ratio - mostly because they don't know how to play their team.
