Unfortunately no. He is back in the meta in CN thanks to his mystery +2 (prompt barrier, steals up to 60 chakra) and his Y passive 2 (immune to debuffs).

There's really nothing? It's such a shame because he arguably has the best buff in the game and his barrier passive additional attack is super sp!cy.

everything is garbage

Yes it is, my son, yes it is.

until he gets prompt myst his passive isnt good for 4v4, you can throw him in ranked or any 12v12 for the buff to help aoe things down faster but 4v4 your better off without him.

also you should have gotten him 5* instead of going for books, then you could have done more dmg in 9t with him since books really dont help

Actually, books help a lot. Him comboing every round deals more dps than a 5% buff from 5 stars would have.

should have waited his skills get better than what they are now

Waited for what? He doesn't get more books. He gets tests, yeah, but no more books, so there was no point in waiting.

I used to run him using sage naruto and sage jiraiya with fire main but that was back in late 2.0 early 3.0 days so you can try that if you really want to use him but sadly he's fallen out which suks cause I spend seals for him cause I really wanted him

Rip :/

I guess I just need to wait for his skill tests.
