The problem is not naruto six paths but the fact too many people overstack 1 move wholly forgotting about the other 3.

The difference in combo and critical/injury secondary stats between naruto and your move 2/3/4 it's what makes him op.

What is annoying for most people about him is the fact even if you beat it (and are there many ways) most of the times you don't do it before round 5, but is indeed possible to beat him.

The easiest f2p counter for him is gakido chase trial.

A team that works most of the times against naruto six paths common meta is this one even if you are slower:

Itachi x x

Ningendo x water main

Gakido x x

Talents: 41123, summon: king of hell, summon mystery: pakkun.

Gakido with rinnegan passive y and chase y, mystery y. Ningendo with his rinnegan passive y too, and chase full sb. Itachi full sb.

It's just that doesn't work that good against other teams.

Why skewering and not shark bomb? Because hits harder single target, is halfnin halftai (so can't care less about the eventual edo itachi), may eventually be used round 1 and clears the eventual bee sst mystery after is applied.

Naruto mystery is half nin half tai so unless edo itachi too is very stacked he dies round 3 against naruto six paths. After that moment ronin is always under control.

Actually edo yagura + kushina habanero is perfectly able to beat naruto six paths even now as long as kushina survives since edo yagura selfheals way more than naruto and his mystery can't be dodged. But the problem is always the same. Move 1 stats vs move 2 ones.

That said indeed once kushina breakthroughs are released her double chase + the ninjutsu boost to her passive will make the duo way stronger than now since requires no backup from move 3/4 to work (if you put in the y mystery with cd 4 even more).

(i am currently trolling six paths teams in arena with this team

Earth/wind main edo yagura x

Edo roshi kushina x

X x x

They can't do anything most of the times)

The problem you and the op are experiencing is not about how op naruto six paths is.

What you are experiencing is how unbalanced move 1 secondary stats are.

It's them that make naruto six paths op in most of the situations.

What should be nerfed or capped or reduced is the impact move 1 secondary stats have in game right now.

They matter too much currently.

Naruto six paths do close to nothing when faces ninjas with higher combo stats than him (like agk or hokage minato) because once they stacked enough combo the enemy naruto simply do not enter anymore in rage mode if not once every two rounds. The same applies when faces ninjas with higher injury than him. His damage in that case is ridiculously low (and so his selfhealing).

Try to use him as move 2 or 3 and you'll see what i mean.

So when do the issue appear?

When is move 1.

And why?

For the reason i said. Secondary stats.

So what is that should be nerfed?

Him or move 1 secondary stats impact on the enemy move 2/3/4?

It's quite obvious what is the answer.

I don't own naruto six paths nor i plan to get him.

If you read my previous posts you would know i gave to a lot of people tips to beat him.

Anyways the reason why naruto six paths will survive against ronin up to round 3 is simply the fact he selfheals too much thanks to the enemy move 2/3/4 low substats.

Beware that i was generous when i said itachi edo tensei would survive up to round 3, if he is not that stacked could be he is dead round 2 directly.

Ronin naruto against naruto six paths works exactly like an hokage minato supported by an asuma wind blade and by a bee sst that give him the second standard attack.

Against a comparable power naruto six paths the hokage minato blitz do not win in any ways before round 3 and most of the times go to round 5/7 and generally minato wins because he dodges the first attack, imposing so on the enemy naruto to use standard first, then mystery, that grants he won't have mystery the following round even on round 3, but during the rounds naruto cannot immobile him he hits him with two attacks FULL TAI after mystery popped his dodge.

Ronin doesn't have the self dodge and as you can see in the pic:

His standard attack is NIN so only his mystery gets advantaged by the self boost.

So, against naruto six paths, he will work way worse than hokage minato is able to do right now.

Once you have 4 stacked positions in terms of injury and combo (that is what matters for a move 1 naruto to work fine) naruto six paths works WAY WAY worse than ninjas like AGK or edo deidara full sb. Even edo tensei yagura or ay 3rd would work better than him in that case.

If you don't believe me you can do the test yourself. Remove stats from your naruto to make him comparable to your move 2/3/4 and try to face an enemy around your power that did the same.

Believe it or not but naruto in the comparable 4 stacked positions scenario is not meant to be move 1.

So, again, what is the problem?

That he gives too a big advantage to whoever overstacks 1 single move, as you said, but why this happens? Because move 1 injury and combo stat impact on the enemy moves 2/3/4 is too big.

My bad then, but still, even if is tai doesn't change much.

he still do the same exact thing hokage minato do right now with the difference that is very possible for the enemy naruto, after he immobilized him the first time, to keep constantly him under immobile once that the battle is down to an 1vs1 fight (that with our current power balancement means round 2/3 usually) thing that is not possible with hokage minato.

So since we don't see swb full of move 1 hokage minatos to counter naruto six paths right now we won't even see naruto ronin everywhere later.
