It's hi should be used strategically. He isn't someone that is as op as Tobi that can win games. He needs to set up a barrier so that your high chakra spending ninja c*e his disastrous move. I.e. Sage jiraiy, kimmi, 3 star Naruto, you prolly got my point. Also yes, his health is low that's why you gotta play him strategically, I used him as a back line not a forward like Tobi. Indeed he will be dead with one combo. And this combo usually happens in round 2. AND IF you get his barrier on successfully, he alr did his job and you should be able to use high chakra ninja myst. And if they focus itachi, great you still have your main and other damage dealers. (Plz don't tell me you rely itachi to do damage, no he is an utility support ninja.his chase is nice to have because of high hit and ignite) yeah you prolly get what I meant. Howevwr I do agree itachi is slacking. But good thing is in Chinese there is a skill book function that makes his mystic prompt and/or cost 0chakra
