i don't know, what i see in space time is that with mei mabui tenten AF i beat earth teams whatever setup they have up to 6k more power than me EVEN if i lose the initiative and they have onoki/gaara barrier up. Maybe i still have to meet the teams you talk about, but so far that's what i experienced.

Yes another team beside Bee, Naruto, K. Gaara
Earth need exclusive ninja XD

run the pains with earth, works very nice.

earth is underused for sure This post was last edited by 709***@facebook at 2017-4-19 00:37

This thread has some validity as the current meta revolves around buff & blitz teams.

To further prove this my time-space bracket's top 8 runs Susano Suskues & Itachis/6 Tail teams on Light/Fire/Water mains.

However that is not to say Earth Main in particular is bad to these other mains. Develop a different play-style to combat the current meta and it's complexity possible to overcome the current meta with kage & regular ninjas (and even at a lower BP than your OP).

I've been able to keep a steady rank in my bracket running earth main, gaara, & 2 healers.
My initiative isn't higher than most of these guys, nor is my BP so work around Earth/Wind main. They're play-able to win.

why can't ppl understand what this forum is about?

and their discussions are not against what I brought to the table there just wrong. as in there adding teams to the forum when this just supposed to be about the mains.

From your own OP:
"water main is decent and can be awesome with cc and effects team or crazy heals were u cant kill them"

And as other people brought up, the mains don't exist in a vacuum. They need to be balanced against the other mains on the basis of what teams they can be used to form. I'm not saying all the mains are perfectly balanced, but every main can make a viable team.

"Please tell me were earth main fits in this equation?"
As a support ninja, providing shields and/or a tanky body for your team.

Give me a exactly three (1) minute to spit this knowledge....
Earth main is by far one of the most useful main out of the 5 although he may seem pretty useless due to this artilery but be not foolish as the crimson man (earth main) is the best ideal main to use to develop the skill which goes by the name of "D.I.R" or "Doing it right".
The Earth main has loads of choices varying from defensive, offensive or mix though mix takes devotion to understand how the mix is needed.
If we to put the mains to fight among theirselves in a 1vs1 I would give the crimson man 3rd place, this is because as of the recent changes and development he has the ability to change his artillery through battle from shield to a ninjutsu, this allows the earth main to stack shields and deal damage. But in a team the earth main is quite the beast!!

cmon you guys, the man is saying something somewhat true, stop messing with him...I mean from all the replies i've read 100% of them are "dump a *ton of money into the game" try and use empathy, think about f2p teams with earth...there aren't any atm...meanwhile water mains with a *ton of heals flourish, i got a team on my server with tsunade 5th hokage, water main, sailor sakura and killer bee...that * is strong, you really can't beat that team unless you dump a new car worth of $$$ into the game...meanwhile you got earth main that's useless unless you drop the same amount of $$$ into the game

earth mains shields aren't really support anymore as it used to be based on his resistance at 20% and with the old steel body that was 40%. let's be reasonable here even if ur main is a tank body everyone else dies in ur team but him then he's dead in the end too lol or its a draw.

thank you finally, someone who understands the truth.

Not to be a thorn in your side but I'll just put some sauce in the mix but you don't need to spend money to be a successful earth main just grind and pick your choices correctly.

The team you said for water is not f2p at all. I don't know what you mean. Even water is the strongest main at the moment can't really be use with f2p ninjas. It still require certain premium ninjas to be useful.
It's just not all main can be play by everyone.
Fire & Lightning main are f2p friendly that's why they're everywhere.
Wind is also can be f2p friendly but mostly when against Lightning.
Water & Earth are not f2p friendly. Deal with it.

Earth main is currently 1 of the most powerful main in CN, the meta is leading to "Who survive longest contest". Even here, from time to time when they introduce new ninjas from other treasures you will see. So my advice to people that asking for a buff, how about play other mains while stack your resources for later event exclusive ninjas then switch to earth? Because if you buff earth now then later you will have to nerf it, what is the point? This post was last edited by Oshiri at 2017-4-19 05:57

yes though the earth should not have been nerfed in the first place. and the water main meta team is f2p beside the mei.gnw tenten u can get easily for 1200 coupons even as f2p u can get that in a week and mabui is an easy drop.

mains are fully balances, the ninjas that support thoses mains are not.

the best exemple would be iruka danzo combo. this combo provide double support to either fire or ligthning main. you wont find that in any other main.

yeah 10 thousand dollars who has that kind of money lmao

Leveling one of each class atm (all 40-55 atm) and I still can't decide which one is my favorite :@

I'm closing this discussion as requested.

way to much money i don't have bro
