imho the ranking with him is: wind>earth>water>fire>lightning, but you need absolutely a 2nd good wind ninja (like agk or hokage minato) for it to work fine.

Gaara is not really relevant once u hit 4 Star (of course if you are Wind Main, he is nice, but it should not be a reason to pick Wind Main).

Fire Main and LM are both excellent for new servers.

LM: will crush Day 1+2 and you will not have in problems in Arena. Also day 1 Guy really harmonizes well.

FM: Will Dominate LM in Arena from Day 3+ until LM hits lvl 55. Also does most Damage against 9 Tails.

I think FM is overall better for a new server start. Genjutsu Mirror screws up a lot of what LM does in PvP early (Chidori Chase into acupuncture [Hinata] etc.). You are doing nothing wrong taking LM either.

How exactly is everyone getting Guy day1? The server started several hours ago and now that you've shown me the advantages of FM I am kinda dissapointed I picked wind main and spent $ for gaara already. Any suggestions for wind? Gaara + WM + Guy (I guess, if I can get it too day 1) + Sakura?

The best mains for new servers are water and lightning main. Fire comes after them. In early levels wind and earth main are the worst ones.

i played in new servers from time to time just to relax as i was (still I am but whatever ) bored just doing dailys and stuff and i spent quite a time after 5.0 in new servers and i can guarantee you that fire main is a power house with the ignite and mirror which really hits hard ,as dominating from the start for quite few days(you get mirror immediately so is kinda error to say 3rd day) light main is not bad but actually the one who gets really good after 3rd day or so is water main with the cancer and our fav sharkyy :P chaosing evrything and even with the mirror is kinda hard to counter the cancer....Now if we talk about a gaara user 4 star from very start i think everything except earth would be fine as we already know we have to do with p2w and we know that it doesnt really matter as that 4 star gaara is almost unstoppable at the start (my most hated character back in the days because always when we f2p bunch faced a gaara we were all like : !!!you ********** P2WW !!! P2WWW *********** and more and more toxic came from us :) good old days we didnt get reported lol !!!....well now its not the symbol of the p2w players as now everyone can obtain him, as basically those recharges are a waste for everyone who does it only for his sake unless you want that lv up pill which is nothing in the long run as like whatever we are freezing levels and being eager to level up feel kinda weird,but yea it comes with the advantages.And for sure who gonna rule over arena and everything would be the one who would spend the most whatever the main is..

Well. At level 11 seal treasure opens. Guy is guaranteed to be the first 3 star. After the free draw u get at lvl 11, with another 2 or 3 scrolls (random) you wil get Guy. Gaara is no good on on day 1, but on Day 2 he becomes his good mystery.

Gaara, WM, Guy....Hinata (day 2) / Sakura (day 1).

Just choose Fire Main and styck with him he's the best imo, but needs a buff
