the % combo rate buff by Kurama has nothing to do with receiving a combo.

The buff buffs his own chance to start a combo, doesn't reduce any chance from enemy

Any type of blitz team that is fully in middle row to kill Naruto round 1 and then the enemy can't do anything pretty much , but of course you should be similar power.

For example the 3rd Raikage-Samui-Darui-Earth

Shisui-Iruka-Anbu Itachi-LM

Or even simple LM blitz

If you don't have ini and attack(charms,tactics) then ay team fails.Could be said for most teams. Just saying....

The definition of counter team is exactly that: a team that is able to beat another team without owning initiative on comparable power or slightly lower. If that team doesn't exist the game currently makes no sense, because all the other teams currently own such a lineup.

Thanks for your answers, but sadly i don't see how a blitz team could work against it unless you own initiative and also power advantage. Naruto is simply too fat and the usual not idiotic player just runs roshi as the lowest hp ninja, so itachi and eventually omoi would target him and not naruto, spreading ignition to your team.

@ICEx: i'm pretty sure you made some mistakes there. There's no way that team with 30k less power is able to beat yours, i would see it failing even on comparable power.

That anbu itachi team dodges like no tomorrow. Unless you got a ninja like susano itachi or kakuzu earth grude, rip. Also, he had 3 ninja attacking his kurama head on.

This is how I countered that team in Matsuri. I had 6k more BP.

What is the function of Killer Bee there?

Uhh... Naruto`s combo buff doesnt affect the combos he receives in any way.

the mystery reduces cd on combo, its not part of a passive, the chase gives a buff to combo chance not a passive or his standard, so in order to use his mystery r1 and then be able to use it at the start of r2 he would need to get a lucky combo vs the EM then myst the asuma(if he uses the myst on iruka or minato they might dodge and the EM cant be chased because of super armor passive) then get another combo against the EM, which naruto doesnt usualy combo that much without his buff so he might not reset r1 at all let alone 2x r1.

@op - easiest counter to this team is enraged kushina, focus the roshi with kushina and keep it ccd, she will remove his immunity for 1 round and has a cc chase, bring 2 healers(water main with poison tai to kill the roshi faster) to cleanse the naruto cc from each other and then 1 other person from more dmg or tankiness, killer bee works to buff kushina and give her more attacks, hokage minato for res buff and dmg, susano itachi to cc lock the EM and hit the naruto, hell a kimimaru just to tank roshi standards, masked man for stopping EM myst and dodging roshi, you get the idea.

@ICEx: matsuri is a bad example to use for anything, it doesnt give your ninjas the same stats as normal fights, i use the same team for matsuri and im always weaker in it than i am outside of it, since i have almost 200k power and im running a buff team i can see 5-10k differences in the dmg since my susano itachi doesnt have all my best gear stacked on him in matsuri
