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:

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!
