Yeah, this question is bugging me too. I'm saving up coupons, but I can't decide between Minato, Deidara or Shisui.

Kushina is kind of a redundant character, mainly designed to counter Roshi and Jesus-naruto teams. I wouldn't bother with her, unless you need her for something specific.

Out of the three, I think Deidara might be the strongest right now. He just murks people in Ranked and GNW.

From a longevity perspective, it would seem Shisui is the only choice. I barely see Minato or Deidara in chinese server fights or teams, but Shisui is a staple in the Edo Hiruzen lineup.

I actually don't know much about Minato. He is solid. Apparently not useful in China anymore, but he is a damage carry with utility.

If you want to categorize them, you'd find that Deidara is a pure damage carry. Minato is damage carry with utility, and Shisui is a pure utility character.

Out of these three Shisui has the most loaded kit. I believe this is why out of these characters, he is the only one seen in China (correct me here if I'm wrong). He tags, ignites, causes chaos, has a crazy barrier and dodges on top of it.

Personally, I'm leaning towards Shisui, but if I get a second opinion and hear that Edo Deidara is actually still used in China, I might consider him.

I agree with your premise very profoundly.

But I thought Shisui was indeed the only one being used out of these ninjas? The meta team seems to be Edo Hiruzen, Edo Tobirama and Edo Asuma OR Shisui.

Is Jonin Minato truly used at higher levels still in china? does he get skillbooks or synergize super well with some team? What makes him so strong?

Can anyone offer an explanation on what happened on the chinese server, because to me it seems like Edo Tensei Deidara is not seeing any use? What made him fade out?

Watching fights, I see Sharkisame the most and Shisui secondmost and Minato the thirdmost out of the ninjas that we have available right now.

Oh wow... That minato.. So with that upgrade he became God-tier in China again? How long do you think it will take us to get that bond upgrade?

I watched more of that guy's videos. You're right. Shisui is barely played. That's a real shame, since he seems like an interesting ninja. But for a low spender, I guess he is not worth it after all.

What are these far better ninjas for 1v1 that you are referring to, my man? :)

This guy you're talking with wont listen to reason. He has a desperate need to be right or his soul bleeds

Mjeh. People should do their own math anyway.

I personally feel it's better to list out the average prices, because that is how much most players will end up spending. Telling people the prices are higher than they actually are, is just as harmful, since then people lose out on power they could have been carrying around for months, which in turn would have given them better rewards in events.

Bottom line: trust in the law of large numbers, and do your own math. + Include an error margin.
