Kakuzu is still pretty good yes and no there aren't many counters for him the ninjas who can counter him should be Edo itachi, Itachi kimino(depends on your chakra) and sasuke rinne(not much effective if you have fire main's shield) and ninjas like yamato who can * chakra by their mystery since that will lower kakuzu's damage but i don't think anyone uses him so you should be worried about itachi only

Thanks man!

There are better options for P2W, but he is probably the best a F2P player can get right now. I've been using him for quite a while now, and I can tell you Itachi Edo is a good counter to him, but mostly because he dodges chase and cuts nin damage. You can reach up and kill ~50k power higher than you with a good grudge team. But don't expect him to solve all your woes. The key to grudge is he can buff huge first round. But if you haven't won by round 3, then Kushina or Minato might have grown to be his equal in damage dealing and will just keep growing. He is also very helpful in ninja exams. :)

Kakuzu is a total killer,

cheapest and best an f2p could get in my opinion, In amusment park or what ever the event with discount vouchers is best way to buy kakuzu frags 165 each, 20% off is 132 each and 50% off is 82 each, and then its just super cheap.

Im using a full buff kakuzu team and it just sweeps

-Ninja Exam

-Ultimate Training (Except Survival since kakuzu has low survival rate to many debuffs and lasting many rounds, or my battle armour just *s :p)

In my experience Kakuzu is mostly countered by Madara [Edo Tensei Release] and sometimes other teams if they're faster than yours. But most of these other teams are slower so it's still easier to get a high streak in swb with a stacked Kakuzu than anything else. And cheapest too.

Madara's barrier removes buffs and prevents chakra so kakuzu would be powered down but still able to attack.

Itachi [Edo Tensei] Best for counter kakuzu

Kakuzu's bonus isn't a "buff" that can be removed. Preventing chakra is the only way.

Well I didn't actually say that :V

You're forgetting 2 more things about this Madara: he's immune to ninjutsu and his chase *s 100 chakra.

It all depends on the specific team built around Kakuzu I guess. For my team (with Asuma WB and fire main) Edo Itachi's dream is never a problem and he dies pretty fast too. Kimono Itachi is the real Kakuzu destroyer but luckily not many people use him, so can be ignored.

not many people use kimono itachi cause his biggest problem when you use his mystery you have a good chance of crashing your game or the enemies game

Use Ibiki or Kurenai Summer and Kakuzu won't do anything to you

it can be easily removed if you see most of kakuzu teams they are mostly with fire main so when you'll control kakuzu fire main will just remove it

In my opinion, Kakuzu is still the best round 1 blitz team period (based on how quickly he deletes a team without the time delay of a mystery). However why most people would not consider him op is the rise of newer ninja that take away what makes him a blitz: his standards and/or his buffs.

Rinne-Sasuke is usually paired with LM and Itachi so they have a res buff to survive 1 standard (with Itachi randomly dodging). On top of that, there is a 30-50% chance to cause fear which stops him cold regardless of immune. Combine that with the mystery that gets rid of his Superarmor, a crit reducing chase, and the most elite scaling passive in the game so far means that if you can't kill at least 1 unit by the end of round 1 you are probably going to lose.

Halloween Kimimaro who is now in contention for best blitz unit will also be paired with LM and if you aren't faster than him will absolutely ruin your biggest damage dealer by reducing your standard and chase damage by 30% while also passively dodging both standards anyway. on top of that, his mystery only costs 20 so if he gets it off you can bet Edo-Hiruzen (his dynamic duo in most cases) is right there with a now 60% buffed attack.

Edo-Minato (who is unofficially the most meta unit in the game now) has 3 different effects on him that make Kakuzu all but useless. If he isn't immune then his enfeeble reduces his ninjutsu damage by 25% while also disabling his scaling (not sure if chakra scaling is fully affected). On top of that Minato will also have a passive that lets him dodge 50% (read: 80% really) of all standards coming his way. And if you are facing against the true elites he will also have a barrier that boosts his def/res while also canceling chakra gain. While he himself doesn't scale crazy damage-wise his sustain by itself will let him win against Kakuzu.

Edo-Itachi was basically created to be a Kakuzu stopper with his percentage damage reduction passive. (-50% nin damage for the first 2 attacks sounds particularly specific). His dream mystery is also very deadly as he can simply hit Kakuzu and take away all his buffs and immune at the very least.

Edo-Madara is not seen as much but when he is there it is basically a loss (most Kakuzu teams do not include a proc barrier after all). Getting no chakra for 2 straight rounds while also being unable to damage him at all (nin-immunity) unless you target him specifically for a mystery means that you are focused on trying to kill him with no scaling whatsoever while your opponent has free range to actually run his gameplan.

Yes, there are support ninjas that are gimmicky enough to cause problems (i.e. Summer Kurenai and Ibiki) it is really this main 5 make Kakuzu less of an auto and win type of guy and require finesse both on the mystery usage and the actual team construction.
