There's only one question you need to answer: is someone dead at the start of turn 2 and is someone else half dead by the end of turn 1. If no, your power is just too low.
Lightning armor is junk there, replace it with a combo starter. I'll assume you have flood dragon at least. Lightning armor is too slow since you allow an enemy to combo off you before you have the chance to attack so it's crap. * ningendo or your main in position 1 and gakido in position 2 for tanking. If you want greater offense just * shurado in position 2 to finish off ninjas.
Another fun thing to consider is: Do you want more survivability or just to look cooler? swap out ningendo for jigokudo or tendo respectively. Use the golden cat for jigokudo and put shurado in 1st position. Either way, this is just a matter of gear and initiative.
