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.
