Hey guys!

I am here with some interesting info that the game didn't provide about Ninja Dog Shiba that I found out by testing.

His attributes = Konoha + Earth + Male "ninja" therefore he can be buffed by these buffs actually, here is some proof below:

Earth Attribute proof:

Konoha attribute proof:

So I tried all 5 barriers and only Earth one affected him

Note: I had to use a manual barrier because auto-barriers don't affect him as he is summoned AFTER a barrier is used

-Therefore with that logic also none of the buffs that are used on start of a fight will buff him up (e.g. Iruka)

-Only the permanent buffs("as long as the ninja is alive" buffs) or manual buffs/barriers will be active on him.

-Buffs that you steal from your enemy can buff shiba up, for example if you use Yagura mystery on enemy Onoki, Kazekage Gaara, Iruka etc.

for a full buff team experiment refer here

Below I will post all results of my testing/proofs

LM not using any buffs

damage range 6,5-8k (Yes Shiba has a pretty big range for some reason)

LM using anbu tactics buff

Damage range = 7,5-9k

Earth barrier

Damage range = 8k-9,5k

Auto-barrier = doesn't work

Madara buff

Damage range = 8k-9,5k (weird I don't know why Madara buff and barrier were in pretty same range, maybe I should've did more tests and barrier could hit 10k damage)
