Posting this just for fun.


I still remember the first lineup that I ever built for my lightning main. It went something like this: Lee, Lightning, Sai, Sakura (2, 2, 2, 1, 1). It was a really simple lineup that I created solely to get away from the default Team 7.


Later on, I got Tsunade. Because I don't have the likes of Jigokudo, Sailor Sakura and so on, she became a staple of many of my teams. Teamed her with Guy and Lee to make a Lee triple heal, Guy and Mist Zabuza before I eventually settled with Lightning, Guy, Tsunade and Suigetsu (3, 2, 3, 1, 2, gamachu). All of those are based around Lightning Armour because I'm lazy and wanna auto.


Eventually, I started two other mains, Earth and Water. Building teams for them were easier because now I know my way around. For Earth, I cobbled together a team consisting of Neji, Lee, Earth and Kabuto (2, 1, 2, 1, 2, blue snake). Water's team had a little more thought put into it, consisting of Water, Sai, Kakashi and Kabuto (2, 3, 2, 2, 2, kyushu deer). I even had the luxury to plan their later F2P lineup so I knew who to collect, target or buy from the get-go.


While Earth's lineup was a huge success with Earth, Kankuro, Tsunade and Sasori (2, 3, 2, 1, 2, kyushu deer), Water's turned out to be a disaster. I wanted to make a Jiraiya team, thinking I c*e his standard to apply Poison Tai. Too late, big mistake. It had Water, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Karin (2, 2, 4, 2, 1, monkey). I haven't given up on making a Jiraiya team though. His skill book is supposed to make his mystery prompt.


With the disaster that is the Water Jiraiya team, I had to come up with another free team quick. So I cobbled together a curse tag poison team with Kimimaro, Kidomaru, Karin and Water (3, 2, 2, 3, 2, kyushu deer). I'm starting to see why the Kirin summon is so expensive. During this time, because I have to set up additional teams for Fighting Matsuri, I made up two more teams for my Lightning main. First one is Lightning, Kisame, Tsunade and Sasuke (2, 2, 2, 2, 3, white snake). Honestly, this team isn't good. But I really like Kisame as a character, so I haven't given up on composing a team with him yet. The second is Karin, GNW Choji, Lightning and Kabuto (2, 2, 2, 1, 1, kyushu deer). It's actually kinda funny watching Choji boost himself to unnaturally high stats. Since I actually only have two functioning teams for each main, I kinda threw together random garbage to throw my first rounds to get a weaker matching for my second rounds.


With all the time that has passed, my mains also ac*ulated their own rares. Lightning and Earth had more luck than Water tbh. My new main Lightning team was completed when I finally got Mifune. With him, I made up Mifune, Lightning, Tsunade and Hanzo (2, 2, 3, 1, 3, kyushu deer). I did this mainly to show off the Hanzo that I had painstakenly pieced together over the course of my "career". Now that I think of it, my teams seems to be mostly based on themes and other motives than to actively be competitive.


Earth managed to get Konan early even before she came out in the Group Shop, so I initially set up a team with Earth, Konan, Tobi and Deidara (2, 3, 2, 1, 2, white snake). Didn't work out as well as I thought, so I swapped gears and team her with Earth, Gaara and Rasa (2, 3, 3, 2, 2, chameleon). Worked out much better. Only Water is currently left without a rare ninja team. I'm hoping to rectify that by getting Gengetsu because I like him. I want to try building a full Mizukage team with Water main.


Then charms came out. I was in a pickle because my Lightning was having difficulty clearing the Jinchuriki. His power level was too high to team with lower level guys, too low to hang with higher level guys. So I decided to work the system by having Lightning team with Cee, Sasuke and Mabui (3, 2, 1, 1, 2, white snake). I left Cee and Mabui underdeveloped to lower my power level. It worked well since Cee's passive allows him to tank even while underdeveloped, and Mabui need not be afraid of getting hit by Cee's mystery. My Lightning is again a happy bunny.


My apologies for posting a big wall of text. It's just that I'm approaching my one year anniversary in this game and feel like reminiscing on my journey. Maybe you might be interested in posting all your past teams too? Everything from your first deviation from Team 7 when you were just level 30+ onwards.

Hm... my story won't be as complex or interesting as yours, but might as well anyway.


I've been a Lightning Main since I first started playing and haven't changed ever.


The first serious team I went with as a new player was Sasuke-Ukon/Sakon-GNW Kiba. This team carried me through until around level 50-60, when I got Gakido from Lucky Star Wheel. I swapped out UkonSakon for Gakido for a while, but undid the change at level 65 or so.


I didn't pull from anything until I hit Kage treasure; then I got Mei and created my own form of the notorious cancer team, but with LM instead of Water Main. Not wanting to contribute to the Mei cancer, however, I ended up solely using that team for PVE stuff like Strong Approaching, Survival Trial et cetera.


For my main team, I later edited it after I obtained Kazekage Gaara after a groupmate recommended me edit my team. I beg*ing Gakido-Kazegaara-Mifune competitively in PVP. After I got Killer Bee, however, I decided to pursue my hopes of creating a four-attack Ukon Sakon team and developed my current PVP team, Ukon/Sakon-Killer Bee-Kazegaara. Once I get Sage Naruto, I'm gonna replace Kazegaara for him...


Then I got Tendo from a random draw, and upon groupmates' suggestion I also created a Pain team for the sake of themes, which consisted of Tendo-Gakido-Chikushodo if I remember correctly.


And, uh... I think that's it. Wow, for all my talk about creative teams, I actually don't have many creative teams that I really * with, besides the Ukon/Sakon ones...


Well, there was my Chikushodo-Torune Aburame-Enma arena team that actually won a few matches, but... idk.

I knew I've heard of Sakon/Bee somewhere before when I was reading your post.


Coincidentally, I just got Naruto yesterday in a free draw.


Actually, based solely on that post of yours, maybe you can spend some time getting Konan from the group shop and do a Tendo round 1, Konan round 2 AoE team. It could go something like this: Lightning, Tendo, Chikushodo, Konan (3, 4, 3, 1, 2, shiba).


May be kinda risky though since round 1 Tendo's mystery is non-prompt, round 2 Konan has to trigger her mystery after Chikushodo trigger HER mystery, which is also non-prompt.

Well, I may as well post here to, because why not.


So I started off on Oct. 2nd, last year (obviously), and I started off as a lightning main, thinking he would've been good, and he was, great damage. So I started with just the usual team 7, as anyone else, but when I got to the point where treasures were unlocked, I got rock lee, who I used, and saw him as op. So after getting him, I also got to try the lucky dice event, and used some coupons and got a seal scroll, which I used on seal and got Karin, so I used her (and used her for all of the low level stuff), and I eventually managed to get Haku, making my team Haku-Karin-Lee, also got myself another seal scroll, and got an antidote, thought I'd get another ninja, but oh well, I learned the hard way.


Eventually I got Kankuro, think I switched out Lee, also switched out Haku for a 2* Naruto, maybe Kakashi, I eventually got Ukon and Sakon, used him for a while, and eventually just reworked my team, with Hinata, Kakashi, and...I think Karin, if not Tobi, whom I'd recently drew in seal treasure (Was super happy about that, didn't want the sannin). Eventually grabbed Kakuzu, who I switched out Kakashi with, I switched to water main and liked it, and I hit level 70, and had 20 seals stored up, for kage...It came out a few days after I hit 70, and I got Torune and Ao, but eventually got...Onoki, and switched out Tobi, due to hearing about his future nerf (Long live Tobi!!!)


I also got Darui, and switched out Onoki for him, and got Sage Naruto, who I switched out Kakuzu for.

I would go into my other teams, but that'd take a while, thanks for reading to the end, if you did.

Would be nice to hear about your other teams.


At the moment, I'm just contemplating a new gimmick revive team of Mu, Yugito and Hidan or Sailor Sakura for Water. I already have Mu, so I need to get Yugito, get Yugito to 3 stars and get Mu to 3 stars. Don't think it's actually all that competitive tbh, but who knows?

Hmm let's see...

I started off with Earth main on this server, and after moving past Team 7, I started off with EM Kankuro Kabuto and Tsunade(?). It didn't really stuck and I started using something like EM, Tobi, Shikamaru and Kankuro(?). Really liked Shikamaru back then, due to the possible turn 1 control or the turn 2 bomb - can't remember something so far back. x_x At one point of time I was also switching to EM, Neji, Guy and Lee for that fast kill, and also in commemoration of Team Guy.

I also switched to Fire main, with a team that works surprisingly well, such that people started copying the team on the server. It was FM, Tobi, Shikamaru and Naruto, with Gamachu summon. With FM's passive, the fire damage from Shikamaru's bomb was something to be feared, along side Tobi's mystery, it would leave enemies close to death, waiting to be swept by Naruto in the third turn; that is if you can live to tell the tale. Used this team more towards 2.0.

Then came 2.0 and the Tobi nerf. Rip my teams haha. Drew from Kage, got Bee and switched to LM. Started using Immune team of LM, Bee, Itachi and Kisame if I remember. Weakness was that the team in general was pretty squishy. I got Danzo later on, and started running the Blitz team of Danzo, LM, Iruka and WB Asuma. (In my defense I did come up with this myself before I started browsing the forums, and was one of the first that ran blitz in the server. Top player got mad and started running blitz as well :P) Soon I was phased out of blitz because everyone has higher initiative than me so that ended after awhile too.

Next I started using the Kimimaro LM Sasuke combo, but instead of the usual Iruka / Jugo, I switched it to Ningendo, due to my need for control in a team. I would say that team worked out pretty well, especially with all the kage ninjas that are used. As a LM, I started to like Kisame, seeing as he has the ability to stop people from saving their mysteries and using them later, especially for root teams and other teams that hold on to their mysteries for other purposes. I started running Danzo LM, Kisame and Ginkaku, which had the same issue of being too squishy, despite sometimes being able to simply overwhelm the opponents with immobile. I later on switched Danzo to Ningendo as well.

Afterwards came the introduction of Hidan, where I ran Hidan, Danzo, Kimimaro and LM. It was something like a blitz lineup, which could dish out high damage on turn two and hopefully kill one of the key ninjas of the opponents. As of now, against blitz teams, I run LM Kimimaro, Sasuke and Sailor Sakura, with a well mooded Kimimaro. Sasuke is left open, but that is fine as long as Sailor Sakura survives the first turn blitz. From turn 2 on, most blitz teams loses their damage potential and are easy to deal with.

I started off as fire main, played that all the way until the lightning blitz meta. Originally used the Team 7 lineup, but I decided to put Kakashi to use.

Formed a team of GNW Neji, Tobi, Kakashi. It was pure cc perfection back then, had the ignite, the paralysis and the acupuncture every single time. Some people copied that, and I nearly beat the top player in my server (at the time) with that lineup. After the tobi nerf, I gave up and played lightning meta. Still am, but looking for a new team to play.

Also formed teams for Strong Approaching, before I knew there was a forum. Made many of my own, and many for my friends.

I also played for my friend's space time recently, Water, Sailor Sakura, Hidan 2.0, Bee 7 Swords. That was fun. He got first place. :p

Not a bad team, sounds...interesting


I made 2 other teams, 1 for 9 tails and 1 for great ninja war.

For the 9 tails, I used Haku, Kisame, and Chojuro, whom I managed to get from kage, they did alright, and I stuck to that team for a few months before switching my 5* Haku out for my 3* Darui, for more damage. Not much there


But the gnw team is a whole different story, and probably next to impossible for any fellow f2p to copy. It uses Mabui, Tendo, and Tobirama. I was lucky a few months back (6/14 I believe) and got Tendo from mission boxes, and used him for great ninja war, along with Mabui and my Sage Naruto (Used a version with my Yagura before to), to pull off a round 1 Tendo. And about 20 days ago, I managed to pick up Tobirama from 10 packs, who I decided to put in, making my team dependant on atleast 2 units dying (soul absorption) or the water clone dying, to make up for the free 20 chakra. Hey, it's made for mass AoE damage.

Interesting, you're making me consider investing in Konan now. Hm...
