remember that his barrier is a double edge sword.... because increase mystery damage from his barrier applies to the whole battlefield, not just his side.

so try to survive those pesky damage, and at round 2 you can mystery back with a high chance of 1-shot all of his backlines (maybe including Kimimaro himself)

also... his evasion rate, you can resist it yourself, no need to change his skill kit.

the more your defense and resistance stat is, the less chance kimimaro will dodge your standards

same with him, the more defense and resistance kimimaro has, the more chance he'll dodge standards
