I'm more interested in getting a response on their reasoning. It's obviously caused confusion and frustration with some players. There's no reason for Oasis not to respond if they believe they have a justifiable reason for why Ay needs to be 4 stars.

I’ve answered this quite a few times on Discord, as it’s the fastest way to receive a reply from a moderator

Ay does indeed require 4*s to breakthrough, while this is intended, this most likely is the result of what he brought in terms of balancing in CN

So while restricting his breakthrough, I’ll also add the fact that him receiving an entire breakthrough/mutation would be extremely unhealthy for the game at this juncture

Also please realize that in CN, the mere attempt to have him above 3* is extremely difficult and outright expensive (He’s not offered in incentives, compared to our version)

Additionally, we allow fragments to breakthrough.

Different systems, result in different restrictions. As much as I can understand the need for consistency, alterations can occur to requiring quotas.

Well if its done with intention of balancing then i'm fine with it...coz i don't want it be like CN where it used to be AY online and at the present we all know what's the meta..

Of course its a cash grab but it also does provide balancing. I don't really see it as unhealthy besides limiting the chances of the amount of people getting those skill breaks. Just like how shisui was introduced on this server, the large number of people getting him in the first few events he appeared in changed the gaming environment. People were angry that shisui was easily obtained and he was heavily present in arena right after.

Let's say, currently the number of people that have Ay is 200. Of those 200, only 5 can currently SB. Most likely they will see Ay meta as an option to use as a team rather th*e them as the go-to team as they have several other teams to use due to how much they have already invested. Those 5 most likely can beat the majority of the players without using SB Ay so it doesn't impact the gaming environment. The only thing we can do is just wait when they decide it is fine to introduce the skill experiments for Ay and when they add the skill experiment vials in events/group shop, as that's how you are most likely going to upgrade him.

Nah its not unhealthy for the game right now, because we don't have the mutations. The passive mutation (that give him scaling) is what make ay 4th broken in china. Without the mutation, he is hard countered by buff removers like 5kc madara/mask man/han. Even a shark kisame greatly neuters his effectiveness without the mutation.

He is not meta without the mutations, so it's still ok for the time being. The people who can access his skill breaks right now can easily kill a normal player much faster and consistently with ninjas like hiruzen or konan.

to tell u the truth, Ay 4th skill mutation/trial is broken, Thank you oasis to not let this ninja get his sb easily. This is just like when oasis decided to not bring %tactic page to us. I hope oasis wont bring kakuzu egf mutation/trial too since he is also broken.

I am sorry for the owner of Ay4th raikage, but , we need to accept this for the sake of balance and healthy game.

Oasis must not monetize the upcoming supposed free ninjas too

In arena, even with the breaktroughs, you get still owned by any sb with clone and immobile mystery or by any faster than you shark bomb team that runs a 2nd direct cc ninja like masked man, shisui, itachi susano'o, fu yamanata, ao, ino etc...
