Itll get more balanced after you have unlocked all the skills.

I think that it is too hard to achieve true balance but the devs can try to look at actual stats and map out the matchups between mains.

Speaking from my own experience as a water main, I do fine in sage wars unless i decide to use my mystery on the wrong target or one of my ninjas dies before I even get to do anything.

Wind has only 1 build. Empress. Anything else is dead,we cannot make puppet team (with lowfloat -> high float) because our other 2 passives are male buff or wind buff..we cannot make an anti-mystery team with neji ,iruka and guy because the male passive actually kills you and your clones might help but if you want them to tank you lose initiative and that is really bad...basicly..either send wind into a tank position so you can make it first in initiative without losing anything or do anything with that male passive because it is REALLY bad...maybe change that spot with blindness so we can blind people and have clones...that might help wind a little bit..but not enough to make new build archetypes..ltng,water,earth and fire have at least 2-3 builds while wind has only 1...

don't ask about balance.. you won't get that.. you need to know how to play your character when you choose them at first..

if they going with same like CN there will be changes later on, when? no idea lets just have fun till then shall we? :)

i saw some really strong wind and water main characters in ranked battle and a really nice combinations for arena. not sure about the balance that you want though. i guess it just depends on your formation (and ninjas) and how you do your battles.

try to discover the game more and get stronger :) every character has ups and downs :)
