he is good in ranked battles and nine tails instance. he is a good pocket character for ppl like earth mains who try to outlast you and use defense as there main tool. hidan doesn't care about shields. the only downside he is usually the first one to be targeted since he is the biggest threat so you have to find away to protect him. this downside can be a positive if you use hidan for the metta game and use him as bait. i wouldn't use him as a solid team build character though.
