I don't know why you are concentrating just on light main but in later game this lineup might not even get you in top 10. not to mention top 3. As for summon you should realise that by now the only summon worth using in 9-tails is tonton and pakkun mistery.

The very best way to do a ton of damage to 9 tails is by using fire main. And if we are talking about late game then you get a lineup that consists in fire main, iruka, danzo/shisui/hashirama, and asuma wind blade. I cant realy remember the names of the skills but I can say their number from left to right. 1.2.1.3.4. If it is a newer server then this ineup will make you number 1 in 9 tails withot spending coupons for extra power in the event.

I agree on SB at late game 9 tails. Mine goes something like this assuming you are using Ghost Kill tactics page. I use Shisui because I don't have Hashirama.

I'm not focus on some expensive ninjas or some ninjas not easy to get. you can see that this team is also for normal players. and thsi team really gets the best attack damage of light main, the barrier or darui, the buff from mufune about sword, the attack buff form guy, the light buff from light main himself, this is a team that all four ninjas can provide attack buff to light main. I even consider the toctics in this. you can have a try about this team, only consider the attack this is one of the best team in later period. and other mains may cannot attack four times in a round and two times each round. this team allwo you to just leave it there with a auto. I agree with your idea but I still consider this a good team for nine tails.

this team maybe good at beat the fire attributes of nine tails, but it cannot attack so much times in a round as my team. four times for light main, two times for mifune and darui, one time for guy. this seems better damage even without the attribute beat.

Fire Main is best for 9 tails, due to him having 2x buffs and that 1st mystery really hurts when stacked

The number of attacks doesn't really matter

Until we get yamato skill breakthroughs SB is invincible in wb.

As soon as we get them cf and af begins to come close to sb level with very specific lineups.

Fire and Wind is fairly equal on DPS, with the firemain slightly ahead.

lineups I run:

Alternative for madara: use Asuma WB, but will make your team less auto-friendly

Alternative for Iruka: Hinata Dreamworld - Will make your team more auto frinedly, since she doesn't evade 9tail blast

Display Bbug in rednubs - last talent is Queens momentum

.. are you sure about that? we may get three more attack less, and most we can get five more attack times.

I know you can do well in nine tails, but your ninja are so expensive for me ...

In terms of damage for 9 Tails or Group Summons, Fire main is the only main character to use if you want to rank for damage. Generally you would use Iruka, WB Asuma, and some sort of barrier ninja. Depends on who you have. Hashirama is preferable but if you don't have him, you could use Shisui, Mei, Danzo, or Onoki for auto barrier, or even just use Anko. Keep her barrier up the whole time, rather th*ing the 2nd part of the mystery. You just have to keep her in the first position and put up her barrier before she attacks. Iruka and WB Asuma are fairly easy to get. WB has frag drops in a lot of place but esp. in Survival Trial. Iruka you can get by simply turning in your extra character frags after you get them to 5*.

Stacking so many high % buffs means way more damage than multiple weaker attacks. And fire main has a 50% and 40%. Iruka and Asuma are 30%'s and Barrier is 30%.

He is right. 1 strong attack is way better than a few weaker ones, even if damage result is the same. When fire main does 1 attack and lightning does 4, you save few seconds, so your overall dps (damage per second) is higher. Because fights last 4 rounds and you do those multiple times, sometimes such small differences can add up to whole additional fight. This is also the reason wind main shouldnt use clones passive- even though they deal good dmg, they slow down overall dps.

Regarding your main team: LM gets buffed, yes. But konoha lineups have better synergy and those buffing token ninjas like iruka, asuma, barrier one also deal some dmg. 9tails is a dps check, every single point of damage you can do in the shortest time possible matters.
