Hi, I'm a lightning main and currently I'm using this line up, it has very good combo and every character chase each other's very well. I'd say it's a good line up in general.

Let's talk more a little bit more specific about how to play this line up.

Normally you'd like to manually cast spell for this line up:

Firstly I'll talk about the basic:

Midnight blade: Chidori blade shadow (40 mana cost, Cooling time: 2 rounds, paralysis the selected target can be used from turn 2nd)

Kakashi: he's the core of the line up for rushing down target as quickly as possible: he has ignite that can chase a high floated target which stop the healing to the target you're rushing down. Thus he has knock down which triggers Kabuto's chase to create a high floated target for ignition.

Gaara: Excellent tanker, immune to High float, low float, repulse and knock down, he has chances to create high float and he does knock down. He does damage to all targets which includes clones, ninjas, puppets...

Kabuto: Last but not least, he's the key of this line up, he creates 2 dead souls every 3 turns that can be stacked up he can heal up to 2 targets every round and debuff one of them, he increases damage for the line up every rounds, he creates high float for kakashi's ignite. He's just an excellent choice of ninja for this line up at the momment. His Dead soul jutsu can be casted on first round with only 20 chakra.



So, let's talk about how to fight with this line up, strategy in arena.

Most of the match in arena, I found out that whenever I go against sakura, she will use her team healing on the 3rd turn 90% of my matches, and Gaara's sand hell only last for 3 turns. So if I use my sand hell on first turn, I will not be able to trigger it on 2nd turn, and the last chance to use it is on 3rd turn. However, 3rd turn is sakura's team healing turn, so if I use it on 3rd turn, it will not do any damage. So what I like to do is I use dead soul jutsu from Kabuto to increase the defense.

This is what it looks like when you use kabuto's clone on first turn:

2nd turn: I have 2 choices, wether to use Chidori blade - shadow to paralyse a target that chase combos or Kakashi's earth Fanged pursuit jutsu to rush down a target with sand hell. Situational.

3rd turn: Summon kabuto's clones and chidori blade if I haven't use it on 2nd turn or sand hell + Fanged pursuit jutsu I'd recommend this option since fanged pursuit jutsu combo will leads to Kakashi's ignition on sakura's healing turn.

Turn 4th and so on: situational or just leave auto if there isn't anything specific you have to do. One thing to remind is the more constant you can keep using dead soul jutsu the better.




The weakness: Every char is works well together in this line up (tank, damage, combo chasing, ignitions, paralysis, so If you can't keep all of them alive after 3-4 turns, you're pretty much will lose the fight. Also this line up is heavy countered by Breeze dancer in general, and against a gaara + naruto nine-tails chakra as well. So if you ever runs into them, pray that luck will help you win.

That's all for today, leave comments below about what you think about this line up, what can I do to improve it or how should I set up formation for this line up for better synergy. Replacing ninjas etc..

Thanks for reading.
