Hey everyone!

Continuing to cover some older ninjas I have decided on Darui, let's see what he can do:

Mystery is pretty nice with 7 enemy paralyze but I wouldn't recommend using him as a position 1 ninja, he is more of a buff provider and bonus damage dealer.

Standard attack is nothing special but has a chance to cause paralyze which can be useful.

His 1st chase is great providing paralyze to 3 enemies.

His 2nd chase is nothing special just a simple high float to repulse.

His passive is one of the biggest reasons he is a useful ninja as it provides a barrier for Lightning and Water type ninjas, also providing him an additional standard attack.

Let's jump into some teams:

1. Earth Main "the 3rd Raikage full buff team"

A team that is full buffed and has 11 combos actually which involve a lot of tags , paralyze, ignition, immobile.

The damage capabilities of this team are very high, the downside is that it's easily controlled as you only have 1 debuff clear from Earth Main.

2. Lightning Main "the Susano Sasuke buff team"

Purely damage/buff to make that Sasuke 1 shot enemies with a mystery in round 2.

You could use the Anbu Tactics leech or Warrior Killing Intent talents if you want also, Anbu gives the nice leech but overall less damage, Warrior Killing Intent gives the good refresh on mystery in case you kill someone with it but also overall less damage due to not giving +40% nin.

Problem here is that Lightning Main is not safe to use generally, if your enemy uses Masked Man then there is unfortunately no way to clear the immobile from Sasuke.

3. Lightning Main "the 4th Raikage blitz"

Root of Warrior passive change to Bloodthirsty demon is welcome if you want to be even more offensive, root makes it much more defensive though.

Overall this team can kill enemies very fast and your aim would be to kill at least 1 ninja in round 1 (which shouldn't be hard if within a normal power difference or unless you are facing Susano Itachi-Masked Man combo) otherwise it will be hard to win the fight.

4. Lightning Main "the typical blitz team"

Now I believe everyone knows this team as it's a quite famous one.

Sadly these days it has too many counters(Han,masked man,susano itachi,hinata) but surprisingly it still works and players are still using it.

A very very fast team especially if fighting a lower power player. The team has paralyze,interrupts,immunity on LM and mysteries every round in theory, also quite F2P friendly team because these ninjas are quite easily obtained over time, will work wonders in lower level SWB brackets.

5. Lightning Main "the paralyze + immobile everyone"

You can get paralyses on your enemies in round 1 but in round 2 it's guaranteed due to Lightning Main mystery, and after it immobile all paralyzed units with Ringo mystery.

With nice options to reset cooldown on both LM and Ringo mysteries because of Warrior Killing Intent buff although you can change it to Lightning Enhacement passive but it's 4 Lightning Ninjas so 1 randomly wouldn't get the buff in that case.

Darui provides the paralysis chases as well as barrier buff to whole team, LM provides buff and immunity to himself,Ringo,Darui and Toroi provides a buff to all also as well as immobile chase.

This all making the team deal very nice damage overall, with possibilities to immobile entire enemy team,

Problem is being vs immune enemies, dodge enemies (although when the new summon mystery function comes the dodge problem is easily solved with the dog tag mystery). Masked Man can nicely counter this team also.

6. Water Main "the typical GNW TenTen meta"

A very old-fashioned team, but still very useful for newer players , and generally F2P players as it's not hard to get this team.

The team is better with Mei though but Darui is a great replacement as he provides the same buffs and more paralyze also, but lacks in immobile chase.

That would be all for now, see you guys later. As always leave a comment if you have any question or a suggestion
