Hey everyone,


This is what I have noticed and currently use as far as lineup, strategy, and talents:



Lineup 1:
Middle: Naruto in front, Haku in middle, Sasuke/Sakura in back
Way back/side: water main character (don't know her name)


Why this is a good lineup:
~Naruto provides a good defense being in the front because he can take a lot of damage
~Haku is in the middle because he does a lot of damage but doesn't have the best health; also, he can't kill so he would be useless as last attacker.

~Sakura is in the back because she is only there for extra healing. Depending on your talents, the water main heals constantly too.
~Sasuke is also in the back because he is a good combo finisher and his attacks aren't as important as Naruto's defense and Haku's Ice Mirrors.
~The water main is kind of average so she doesn't really need protection nor upfront attention. She adds to combos, provides healing, and can often stand on her own.

~Another good thing about this lineup is the immediate combo that occurs after naruto's barage. Sasuke and Haku follow up, and then then Sasuke again (but only occasionally) to create a 4 attack combo. This combo can sometimes happen again during the battle, but usually during Arenas and other things like that.


Few extra notes:
~Only use Sakura if doing challenging battle that requires more healing to make it through, otherwise use Sasuke for regular battles where power is more important. To help decide which you need, ask yourself, "Can I easily take out my enemies without fear of dying off first?" If yes, use Sasuke to quicken the battle.



Lineup 2:
Front: Haku
Back: Naruto, Sakura, water main


Why this is *ternative lineup:
~As stated above, Haku is really only good for his Ice Mirror ability which deals a lot of damage. When used during first moments of battle (preferably the first 2 rounds), the battle generally turns in your favor. However, Haku dies easily, so it is better to have him be able to attack first when possible.
~Naruto's shadow clones kind of guard Haku and everyone else in the back. This allows the characters in the back, who are stronger than Haku, to stay alive long enough to deal a lot of damage and ultimately win.


Strategy:
Selecting attacks manually:
~ Immediately use Haku's Ice Mirror ability. It deals a lot of damage right away (usually 1/3 to 1/2 health damage) and sometimes Haku doesn't last long enough to use the attack, which destroys his entire purpose of being on the team.
~ After Haku's attack, use Sasuke's Chidori or the water main's Super Shark Bomb to knock out, and sometimes finish off, multiple enemies. This usually leaves a few enemies with low health so regular attacks can kill them right away.
~ If regular attacks don't finish the enemy, use Naruto's Rasengan to complete the job.
*I generally avoid using auto unless I think the battle is pretty much won. This is because auto typically ignores the above strategy.
~ If you are using Sakura, use her healing ability before reaching half health. This way, your characters will last the 4 rounds it takes for her ability to cooldown and big enemy attacks won't knock you out. It will also keep your characters near full health to sustain themselves in case she dies, since she is pretty weak.


Talents:
For the water main, these are my recommended talent sets.


General battles:
~For battles where power is more valuable than healing, use the following...
- Super Shark Bomb is a powerful attack the quickly knocks out multiple enemies. Use it to deal a lot of damage to either decrease the enemy's health by good amount, or finish them off when they are low.
- Healing Jutsu allows you the constantly heal the character with the lowest health to keep them going long enough to finish the battle. This ability occurs multiple times during a round (and at least once every round) so if you just want a quick boost here and there, this is good enough.
- Shark Bomb Jutsu allows you to recover a certain percentage of life back, which keeps you alive longer.
- Enhancement of Water style ninja improves not only your water attacks, but also the water attacks of others on your team. In this case, that is Haku, so this talent makes his ability stronger and more damaging.



Hard battles:
~For harder battles where you risk dying easily, use the following...
- Poison Fog Wave provides a decent amount if damage the multiple enemies, especially stronger ones.
- Healing Jutsu allows there to be 2 ninjas on the team doing healing (you and Sakura) so your characters are constantly being healed. This is good for battles where a lot of health is lost all at once either due to multiple attacks or strong enemies.
- Chakra Dissection Blade is good because it provides a critical hit, which causes a lot of damage during combos.
- Healing Tips enhances your team's healing abilities. Sakura will be able to heal more health if you have this talent.


:victory:And that's it for strategies and tips, hope this helped out! :)
