Deidara: difficult to use since you kinda hafta make a team that suits him.

Sasori: has a high power Mystery and is kinda tanky, but if you want to use him you NEED to keep that puppet alive somehow

Tobi: good utility character, has a lot of uses.

Itachi: like Deidara, he only works if you have a team that fits him

Kisame: Works best if you use him in a team that fits. If you can find a good team with him, he'll be really powerful.

Hidan: really scary character - can lower defense with Tag etc. Unfortunately he has kinda low health because of his immortality so he shouldn't be counted on as a Tank.

Kakuzu: Extremely similar to Kakashi. Kakuzu synergizes well with Hidan, interestingly enough. I wouldn't recommend using him since by the time you get him, you don't need Kakashi anymore.

Konan: really good with Akatsuki teams, especially with Hidan

Chikushodo: *s right now, though Skillbooks will make her better

Ningendo: a solid utility character

Shurado: another decent Utility character, has an interrupt mystery and a good Rinnegan buff. However, he's a lot like Kakashi in playstyle which makes him a bit less useful

Jigokudo: a really solid support type, better than Chiyo

*Gakido: another quite useful support character, can remove debuffs and add shields - nice.

Tendo: Works best in a Pain team where all the other Pains give him buffs. I've heard that he's only really good with lightning main though but idk. You get 76 or so frags of him from ultimate training.

Wind Blade Asuma: great in Nine Tails, solid everywhere else. I’m not 100% sure how to use him though.

Beheading Sword Kakashi: meh. You can get him as a common from Edo Tensei treasure.

Sage Jiraiya: decent. Has a hard hitting Mystery and can chase off himself but is kinda fragile otherwise.

Orochimaru [Konoha’s Traitor]: I used to think he was really OP - he kinda is if he can get his mystery off. But like the other orochimaru he was nerfed a while back so he’s okay at best.

Ao: you can get him as a common in Kage Treasure. He’s kinda like a less tanky Neji. Best with Fire or Water teams

*Sage Naruto: One of the best/most solid characters in the game. Tanky, versatile, fits into most teams, and deals a lot of damage. Do NOT PULL FROM SAGE NARUTO TREASURE TO GET HIM THOUGH. He shows up in events a lot so get his fragments from those events. I was able to recruit mine just from events.

Hashirama: I don’t have him but fighting against him is a huge pain. So he’s probably good

100 Puppets Sasori: I don’t know. Heard that the puppets he spawns are really easy to kill tho

10 Puppets Chiyo: Very reliant on her chases, which lowers her usefulness

Yugito: okay character, could be better

Yagura: Depending on what your opponent team is, Yagura could be really potent. Just clone your opponent’s Kage, and it’ll even reset the barriers by shutting theirs down and making one of your own.

Samehada Bee: I don’t know

Roshi: I’ve heard that he’s good, but I don’t know. Some people called him a “meta breaker” but I don’t think that’s true.

*Han: A good character, can remove opponent buffs. Useful, unless you’re fighting someone like me who doesn’t use any buffs in their team XD

Utakata: really solid in a Debuff team or a Water team

Fu: some think that she *s, but in a team that fits her she can actually be really annoying to fight.

Ginkaku: Mediocre

Kinkaku: kinda like a mini GNW Tenten, except GNW Tenten does it better than him.

Kabuto [Snake Cloak]: Really good with characters that have the Ambition passive (the one where when someone dies they get Chakra and Health) and a good waller. His revive isn’t that good though.

Mu: A really good character actually, has a pretty tanky build, can cause immobile, and hits hard. Would be better if you could get him to 3 stars though.

Rasa: interesting guy. I don’t know much about him, but I’ve heard that unless he’s 3 stars, he’s too squishy to use

Gengetsu: has fun abilities but I think he has the same problem as Rasa and Mu

GNW Hinata: Has a bit more offensive power than regular Hinata, but at the price of tankiness. It’s your playstyle choice whether you want to use her or regular Hinata.

GNW Temari: Really good at getting High Combos and has good damage. I don’t know much else about her.

GNW Sai: He actually might be worse than regular Sai because his Standard Attack is now making lions, which means he never attacks on Turn 1. However, his Mystery is good although it has a high battlefield cooldown

*GNW Sakura: She’s actually a pretty solid character overall; she’s a great healer and can even kindasorta tank.

GNW Shino: Good in arena and Ranked Battle. Mediocre in a main team. Poor Shino is just generally less useful in this game...

GNW Neji: compared to regular Neji, he has more acupuncture but is less tanky and less prone to dodge. Again a choice of playstyle.

*GNW Kiba: one of the best tanks, always starts a combo with his standard and has a hard hitting Mystery. I really like him, but I feel like Sage Naruto does everything he does, but better. Nevertheless he’s a good character to use otherwise.

GNW Ino: has a more impactful Mystery but higher cooldown. Use if you want an Inoshikacho team for funzies

*GNW Tenten: Has a REALLY hard-hitting Mystery and is prone to getting a lot of Critical Hits. Outclasses the regular Tenten in almost every way.

*GNW Kankuro: Has a slightly tankier puppet. Great at dishing out Debuffs and pretty useful as a Damage Dealer. Just don’t let his puppet die.

C: don’t use him, only good with lightning and even then he’s hard to use

Kurotsuchi: a great asset in Earth teams, good support-type

Akatsuchi: a great tank, but doesn’t excel in anything else

Temari [Five Kage Conference]: good in Wind teams, not as good anywhere else

Torune Aburame: A pretty good tank, he basically has 200% of his HP. Works well with Utakata in theory

Fu Yamanaka: really useful in Fire and Lightning teams, works well with Danzo. His Puppet is practically like a Naruto clone though, it’s real easy to kill. Luckily he spawns another one every turn. He’s also good in Exams since he has a Turn 1 Chaos

Mabui: the best provider of Chakra, but is mediocre in every other aspect. She’s really good in certain teams though, notably the Mei-Mabui-GNW Tenten cancer team

Onoki: I heard he *s but idk

*Mei: One of the hardest-hitting characters in the game. Her Mystery hits hard, deals a lot of damage and leaves the enemy team with ignite. Also deals extra damage to male characters... most characters are male.

Kazekage Gaara: Pretty good upgrade over regular Gaara. His Mystery has a cool animation and can be pretty potent, but he doesn’t have the debuffs like Mei.

*Darui: Really solid. He can dish out Paralysis like nobody’s business, which is really nice.

*Danzo: useful in general, a good utility character. Has ambition, so is good with Fu Yamanaka

Mifune: only good with sword teams

*Killer Bee [Seven Sword Style]: He can enable characters like 8Gates Lee and Ukon Sakon to pull off 4 attacks every turn, thanks to his Mystery that gives others extra attacks. Great synergy with Jinchuriki, especially Sage Naruto.

Chojuro: Best if used with other Water types, not as good alone.

As for the super rares idk

Hanzo: especially good in GNW, though still pretty nice elsewhere

Edo Tensei Haku: mostly good for Water and Air teams

Edo Tensei Nagato: I don’t know, but I heard he’s good

Edo Tensei Deidara: really scary in theory, but since he hasn’t come out yet idk

*Kill-Yourself Hidan: A decent long term investment; he’s a VERY scary character to fight against.

Make-Out Paradise Kakashi: can possibly be used as a utility character since he basically has a free acupuncture and provides chakra to allies and debuffs to enemies. idk how to use him though

*Eight Gates Lee: A really good damage character. One of the only characters who can attack 4 times. His mystery isn’t as good as Ukon Sakon’s, but it’s easier to make a team around him than it is to make a solid Ukon Sakon team, so he’s the better choice if you don’t have the resources.

Playboy Sasuke: I don’t know

Naruto [Nine Tails Chakra]: only worth it if you can get him to 3 stars or 4 stars... then he becomes really op. ultimate long term investment

*Sakura [Sailor Uniform]: nice character, but usually only available to paying players I think. Great damage, great healing, just good in general.

Make-Out Paradise Shikamaru: he’s a joke

Swimsuit Ino: I’m pretty sure she’s also a joke

So yeah... any thoughts on this?
