Hey guys!

So this thread is about discussing each summon from the new feature, things like:

-Good points

-Bad points

-Best for what type of teams

Without further ado let's start:

Pakkun:

Good Points:

You can actually do decent damage with him + the tag will amplify your mystery damage even more by reducing enemy def/res (so really good if you use a Main Character at pos1 with damage mystery)

Trigger dodge.

The damage from it will especially be notice-able if you have best gear on your pos1 Main Character.

In my opinion this summon is perfect for new players who don't have better pos1 ninjas and therefore keep using Main Character.

Bad Points:

Pretty much only 1 bad point for him, is the fact that he has a 1 round Battlefield Cooldown therefore it's useless to use him when you are running a round 1 mystery from your Main Character (which pretty much all old players run round 1 mystery because they use Main Characters as supports)

Best for what team:

Simply he is best for any team that runs position 1 Main Character with damage mysteries (so mostly for newer players/early game)

Other than that he can find use in Wind Main dance of impetus or Water Main heal teams(especially Hokage Minato teams) if you have lower initiative you can wait out your enemy mystery and then use Wind Main dance of Impetus/Water Main heal to secure yourself some tags and do some damage in the meantime.

Also keep in mind that he retains the Poison Tai/ Neurotoxin effects from Water Main so it can be very nice.

Ninja Dog Shiba:

Good Points:

Serves as a meat shield, especially useful for Earth Main who doesn't have clones and for Lightning Main where you would pretty much never use clones.

Has decent hp/attack, also providing some additional tankiness to your Main Character by giving extra % resistance buff.

0 Battlefield Cooldown

Bad Points:

Bad if a repulse damage ninja is in front of him , especially the ones that feed of clones (Kushimaru , Lightning Main).

the % resistance buff doesn't improve the shields you gain from Earth Main/Fire Main mysteries.

Best for what teams:

Pretty much any Earth Main/Lightning Main/Fire Main team where you use the round 1 mysteries you should be using either him or Katsuyu.

Especially if you are in need of some extra protection thru clones, be sure to position your Main Character for it.

Gamachu/Ninja Monkey

Good Points:

They increase 40% atk/nin (Gamachu = Nin , Monkey = Atk) for 1 round which is great for a Position 1 Main Character nuke type.

You can trigger dodges thru them and they do decent damage.

Unlike Pakkun it's 3 round cooldown and not only 1 time usable per fight.

Bad Points:

1 round Battlefield Cooldown

Only good for damage type Position 1 Main Character teams.

Best for what teams:

So same as Pakkun you'd mostly want them in either Pos1 Main Character teams(buff>tag) or in Wind Main dance of impetus/Water Main heal team. (however the 40% is kinda useless in those teams so you'd maybe prefer using Pakkun or Monkey King).

Generally I wouldn't recommend much to use these summons, a true good way to use Gamachu is the Water Main Shark Bomb spam neurotoxin team.

Katsuyu:

Good Points:

Heal + 1 debuff remove

0 round Battlefield Cooldown

Bad Points:

Pretty much there aren't any

Best for what teams:

So same as Ninja Dog Shiba, definitely best for any kind of round 1 mystery team by Earth/Lightning/Fire Main (although if you are using shield mystery with Fire Main then I'd rather recommend using Ninja Dog Shiba)

Katsuyu finds the most use in Earth Main and Lightning Main teams (Now there is a way to remove immobile with Lightning Main after Masked Man hits your pos1 ninja).

Monkey King:

Good Points:

As it has the same effects as clone talents from Main Characters it can be useful.

Bad Points:

Meat Shield with 1 round Battlefield Cooldown is not really a meat shield.

Very often your main will be controlled in round 2 therefore the summon will be useless.

Best for what teams:

Pretty much only for Water Main heal/ Wind Main dance of impetus teams.

No good reason to ever use it on Lightning and Fire Main.

For Earth Main it can be good if you are using your 2x standard mystery on round 2 (although still Katsuyu could be better depending on the situation)

As always feel free to comment ask a question , leave a suggestion, tell me if I forgot to mention something important! Hope you find it helpful !
