His AOE damage is the lowest out of the 5 mains. Just saying.

There are penty of solutions for Chidori Blade. Fire, Water and Wind could cancel paralysis on the whole team. DOn't know about Earth thou. Furthermore, Hanzo and Gakido cancel 1 layer of debuff for whole team, Sakura cleanses everyone, etc. And if you can outspeed your opponent, then just control the *er. :)

Not all Lightning play 2nd talent. So no, it's NOT mandatory to bring a debuff remover with you. You want to counter mass paralysis, that's what you do, since it's only one layer debuffs. But countering paralysis makes you wide-opened to other teams. Likewise, those Lightnings with 2nd talent have to deal with disminishing their damage as a whole. No team is perfect - well maybe except for the 3 healers team.

Also, i brought up his damage to point out the balance: mass control = low damage and easy to cleanse, but since you don't seem to care...
