Hinata is good in so many ways. Easy to farm, nice stats, and mystery. The acupuncture chase is invaluable in any scenes. It can basically make all other combos paired with the chase become interrupt skills. Her sturdiness that comes from her stats is boosted with her mystery, and passive. An excellent frontline ninja for beginning, middle, and late game. Her weakness might be that her mystery is defensive, and so you'll have to grit your teeth for whatever the enemy has in store for round 1. Also this means that if the enemy has a ninja with an offensive mystery at move 1 and if your hinata is too then you'll lose the initiative for the 2nd round. Her passive also fails to stop "special" standard attacks, such as those of puppeteers. But these setbacks are easily resolvable. I'm lvl 70+ and she is still in my first team. Get her to 5 stars and she'll do wonders for you!
