I prefer Sage Jiraya due to the fact that he have 2 chase, a mystery that does lots of damage and give 20 chakra every round.

Naruto nine-tail have 0 chase, immunity to debuff and a great passive which inflict ignite to enemy who deal taijutsu damage. Further into the game when you unlock sage treasure, you will most likely replace naruto ninetail with sage naruto.

From what players from other versions said before, 4-star Nine-Tail Chakra Naruto is OP in the other versions of this game. His 3-star version just basically has less stats and his skills are weaker. However, we won't know how strong he is until someone gets him and tries him out. He could definitely be brutal for Ranked Battle.

The more affordable option is Sage Jiraiya, who is great all the way around with the points Narbsy made. I believe his standard also goes through dodges like Hinata or Neji, but I'm not 100% certain.

I already have sage mode, should I replace him with 9 tail?

= = can you confirm if he has the sweeping attack at 3 stars? otherwise it is not just a matter of weaker skills and less stats

No he doesn't have sweeping attack at 3 stars, that's only the 6 tails, this naruto at 3 stars is the 4 tails.

Forgot to mention one point that Lazyboi made as well, Saga Jiraya standard go through hinata and neji and have a HIGH chance of repulse which you can chase off nearly every turn.

It also depends on the team you want to run

I run a bomb team and debuff squads are rampant on my server. So all the free ignites from nine tails makes more sense for my team. I'm not really chase dependent.

It costs 60 for his mystery, bomb team are round 2 heavy, you cant do that with him

I think Sage Naruto is probably better as well and easier to get considering how much it would cost to get the 3 tails at 28 points per frag isnt it like 14k coupons?

14k yes, as well Sage Naruto does more damage and actually has chases.

Had him 3 star for ranked and arena. Literally brought me from 100 to 1050 pts to kage rank in one night 0 losses with that tail-beast bomb

Haha 2-star alone in the beginning got me to 1600 points in arena. I just can't justify the cost so wouldn't really recommend him unless you plan to 4-star him later, which would cost even more...

4 tailed naruto for sure since sage mode naruto will get weaker in later games and with 4 tailed naruto, you can cause nice dmg and ignition to the entire team too. Also, if 4TNaruto gets hit, he can cause ignition to enemies that deal tai dmg and also boost his stats.
