u should counter it by dps like poison and ignite but yeah when they got like lvl 5 resistance in their magatamas its impossible to break their shield + kurenai its a 10 rounds of annoyance

there will be ninjas that are capable of dispersing shields in the future

I wonder if Kakuzu's mystery takes out shields since it cleanses all buffs from the opposing team.

Ye, lets nerf earth. Shield is our feature, as fire sleep and 2 KATUUUUNS in raw. Better change this.

And so it begins, the first in an extremely long line of complaints about "Earth Main Overpowered".

GNW Temari ( not available in this version yet) is to disperse all buffs and shields to entire team ( she is very broken - OP and can deal high damage), Lightning Main New Mystery in a very later version is to single damage 1 selected enemy and effects are the same as GNW Temari. Earth Shield won't be very OP in later game since they can easily be knocked down by ignition, poison.

Like Fire main in a very later version, his 10 combo triggered chase can now cause ignition to 2 random bodies with Fire attribute (in this version, only 2 random bodies with fire attribute, no ignition yet). And I see a lot of people use Fire main too since his ignition is very annoying as well as his other CC afflicting.

I think you should leave the poor Earth Main shield alone, pretty much that is their only good feature.
Its annoying, that is for sure, but if you sleep or stun it, he cant use shield.
Poison and Ignite ignores shield, You can apply ignite very easy with fire main actually, Tobi as well can apply Ignite very easy actually.
And if you have Ninja what can cause Tag, it will reduct 30% res, that means they give 30% less shield too.

Only bad thing in Earth what I see as an enemy, he can annoy you to death in Survival battle, because if you cant kill him in 10 turn, you lose your team. But nothing else.

No character is "overpowered" you just need to know how to deal with them and the techniques they use :'(

You just need a non-combo reliant way of inflicting Ignition/Poison/Imprison.
Alternatively if you put him to sleep and only hit him with pure Ninjutsu damage (as in no partial Taijutsu damage) he'll stay asleep unable to reapply shields.

Do you happen to know if Kakuzu's mystery takes away shields?

you can drop earth mains easy with poison or ignite...the messed up part is that if they use their shield tree then they wont have a auto attack which means you kill their allies and they are forced to watch whilst being poisoned and burned to death

Shield itself is OK but when they have Super Armor(like Gaara) it's almost impossible to kill him. On modes you can play manually this isn't an issue as you can leave him and attack other ninjas. But on modes where Auto is forced it is broken since AI will almost always target the Earth Main.

The only time Crimsons Fist can be considered overpowered is when they can reliably cleanse otherwise Lightning, Fire, and especially Water should not be losing to Crimson Fist. Also Shield can be countered easily by putting them to sleep, poison, and ignite imo Crimson Fist is the most balanced cl@ss in the game. This post was last edited by Tezu at 2016-9-4 09:41

When I get Earth Main/Gaara I just wear them away, whether with ignite (I'm fire) or simple taijutsu, and I c*ually do so before 10 rounds. Then again, I've never fought something like Kurenai/Gaara/Iruka/Earth Main, which would be a pretty darn good team...

It is only a good team on paper. In Sage world battlefield where the point is to beat as many enemies as possible and as fast as possible a team like that is hot garbage for Crimson Fist.

And this is why I shouldn't talk on the forum if I have no idea what I'm talking about. ^_^

Mainly I can help people with level 50-60 fires, that's it.

I'll shut up now, sorry~

But Sage isn't what everyone worries about. In GNW It's reliable for 3v3 cuz either you're being focused or damaged is being directed at you instead of 1 or 2 of your other teammates. Or they just don't worry about you and you're still giving out free dmg. Everything has a pro/con.

But yes it isnt the most fashionable for sage.

Not really broken, its very easily countered as stated before. Also being tanky is earths ONLY good feature when it comes to pvp events, nerfing that shield would just break earth completly.


Considering that there are chars/talents that can remove it + 2 effects that completly override it poison/ignite, its definetly not broken lol

You gotta realize your ONE team wont be able to defeat every single team combination. How boring would that be? Sometimes you will have to re-think your strat in order to beat certain people.

Like everyone in this thread has said to counter the shield use poison and ignite.
