Is simply edo deidara that owns ranked. Ranked is all a matter of who hit with stronger aoes earlier, so deidara and tendo are op.

Right, but i dont have tendo in ranked, and he had edo deidara too and even more buffed :p

Tendo is only king until you start to hit end game. I don't run Tendo at all. None of the top 5 people on my server run Tendo. Later you start running into a lot of CC which ruins Tendo since he doesn't have a prompt mystery as well as evasion which means 0 damage for Tendo. Tendo is still king for TI, Jinn Rescue, and Wanted though.

The other Pains buff's aren't super useful unless you are trying to buff Tendo, since they only buff their own. Not to mention they aren't that strong. All of the heavy AOE guys will kill them pretty fast. Only really Ningendo or Gakido are decent depending on your team. Jigo can be useful for a potential save depending on your opponent, and the RNG but he's not that reliable. At least Konan buffs Akatsuki characters in general, so she is useful even towards the end game. And she can help the Pains some. You would be better off trying to boost your Deidara though.

I'm not surprise you won though. The other guys team set ups are terrible. Plus your Deidara is going to stack power way faster than his.

Here's mine: #2 vs #1, (am now #1)

BP difference:

Sorry for my ignorance OP, but what is this about pains and edo deidara?

Pains just buff each others, without buffing deidara... wouldn't it be better to build a team around buffing edo deidara?

Yeah

Earth buff deidara , jinpachi add double standard , edo sasori buff deidara , konan buff deidara.

And iam aiming for 1 position so it means my overall initiative is bad so its useless for me to aim for barriers in ranked battle, who else could buff edo deidara ?

(I dont have oonoki)

Well i agree but check this out, i swapped Edo Sasori with Tendo and this is result against same lineup :

Now against Top 1 power on server (not top 1 in ranked)

Yep. Tendo plus Pain's is pretty OP. As long as you have him and Edo Deidara you will be doing a ton of damage as long as the other person doesn't have a lot of CC. Congrats!

Whale watching is fun.
