I see some people saying how SB is considered OP instead of weak because whales are using him. Well first of all, whale's population are very low compare to majority of player base. Just because few % of players at the top find him "op" doesn't mean he is actually op for the rest. This was the same case as CF in the past, back in 1.0 and 2.0, he was considered god tier among the whale because his shield are just straight up op and there were so little to no way to counter shield back then, but he also was garbage among the normal players.

Same case here for SB, whales are using him mostly because 2 reasons. His mirror and 4th mystery, these two provide great unity without condition that allow whales to pick any carry ninja they want. Beside that the rest of his kit are ignorable because how lack luster it is compare to others. But majority of players who are not whale can't just depend only that 2 things, they need more.

From 1.0 to 4.0, most changes SB received were just nerf left and right while other got buffed. Want me to list some for you guys in case you are new?
- His mirror return used to had another effect that allow him and his team deal increase damage on ignited targets.

- His 2nd mystery used to had a mini unparalleled built in. All they did was nerfed it and waste a new talent slot for unparalleled.

- His Red Lotus buff used to buff blood limit ninjas instead of secret jutsu user and I'm pretty sure there are more f2p friendly blood limit ninjas than f2p secret jutsu user ninjas out there.

- His Oboro clone used to be able to attack on it own and cause imprison effect, high chance of cause repluse.

- His Bani Chakra used to be able to ignite 1 random target and delete buffs on them.

- His Death Mrrage used to be able to cancel 1 debuff on 2 random targets in your team and recover 20 chakra.

Just look at all that and look at him now. He is just a shadow of his previous self.

So, how to fix SB for everyone and not just for whale? Reduce his unity and increase his own gimmick is the way.

- Give him back his increase damage to ignited target, no need to put it into mirror, just put it into Ninjutsu Urge.

- Make his Bani Chakra ignire 2 random targets and recover 10 chakra for each unit that succesfully got ignited.

- Make him interact with blood limit ninjas again instead of secret user.

- Make his 2nd mystery cause ignite to all targets that get hit, I always wonder why MB allowed to paralyzed with his mystery when fire main can't ignite with his mystery. Feel free to decrease the damage deal like 70-80% to make it balance and won't render his 1st mystery useless.

- Make his 4th mystery no longer able to make his whole team immune for 1 round. Just delete debuffs.

- And his 3rd mystery work like CN.

Done, you have a fire maniac with ignited gimmick to play around instead of a fodder for the 1st round mystery then stand there and look pretty rest of the match.
