Kurenai [Summer]: solid control that goes through immunity, chaos upon hit (useful against the likes of Obito Rage Mode who don't have innate immunity)

Asuma [Summer]: a chakra generator and mock position 1 (scales himself upon chakra consumption) but lacks other notable position 1 qualities like self heal and repeatable mystery

Seasonal Ninja Optional Pack II

• Genma Shiranui: one of the most affordable infinite illusion supports and essentially used by anyone not running Asura but requires 3 star for his chase passive

• Hayate Gekko: a generalized sword unit support

• Uzuki Yuugao: a mock position one that was freely obtained from season but not comparable to the rest in the pack in terms of position 1

• Rin Nohara: support that primarily helps Konoha against mystery heavy teams with 3 star passive

• Shira: an outdated position 1 that lacks immunity and controllable damage but can do high damage but randomly

Seasonal Ninja Optional Pack III

• Hiashi Hyuga: almost entirely collection at this point but has some neat buffs for specifically Hyuga units

• Chiriku: position 1 or tanky secondary damager with immunity debuffs and mystery reduction

• Guren: another collection unit but with even less viability than Hiashi

• Ebisu: mostly a combo increaser with low damage input

• Kitsuchi [Great Ninja War]: neat for his ability to reduce Hidden Stone units mystery cooldown with his star upgraded kit

Seasonal Ninja Optional Pack IV

• Lee [Drunken Fist]: another okay position 1 if there are few option but like a lot of season ninjas, lacks that viability in meta

• Izumo Kamizuki: an okay support for crit damage in infinite illusion trial 1 that got moved out of support role by better units

• Mizuki [Curse Mark]: collection unit that can do okay damage in arena due to HP loss scaling but since he can't be revived, falls flat

• Kidomaru [Edo Tensei]: stall support in terms of revive and dodge

• Jirobo [Edo Tensei]: Hidden Sound support with neat debuff upon mystery

Seasonal Ninja Optional Pack IV

• Teuchi: solid support to avoid mysteries round 1 (if you win barrier fight) and can revive but mostly used for his barrier and death skill deactivation

• Jiraiya [Frog Squad]: mostly collection but can assist in a meme Pain team

• Tayuya [Edo Tensei]: meant to be a position 1 but again, like most season ninja, the meager scaling and position 1 aspects are far overshadowed

• Ay [Third Raikage]: used to remove units from the field but very RNG and not a consistent tactic

• Mu [Second Tsuchikage]: can be used to stall to round 2 or for blitz teams if you have no other better mystery damager

Now what would I pick?

1. Genma (for infinite illusion, if you don't have him 3 star)

2. Kurenai / Teuchi / Rin (for PVP)

3. Hayate / Kitsuchi (for niche PVP / PVE usage)

4. Ay / Mu (if a newer player lacking some more "intense" ninjas)

5. The Edo Hidden Sound units (for fun teams)
