It's not Tobi's AI targeting, but rather the order in which your characters are using their ults while on Auto. I run into the same problem all the time.

Basically, in ranked and in any kind of "AUTO" setting, characters with damage-based Ultimates (Tobi, Naruto, etc), will always target the lowest health character on the opposing team, regardless of if there are better choices.

However, once that character dies, any of your ninjas who were set to target them will instead use their Ultimate on whichever character is directly across, in line with them. And since all characters pick their targets simultaneously in a large team battle, it often results in Ultimates being wasted on clones and summons, as they stack in front of the actual ninjas.

Not a bug, and not really a design flaw from the devs perspective, but definitely annoying for us. It's why your positioning matters way more th*ual when in ranked, so you don't have that situation happen as often.

I agree with u. If u have 2 ninja or more looking for the weakest targets n 1 ninja killed him then the another one will attack in front of him. But they dont always look for the weakest as their target. For exm: Sage Naruto will attack who still have 3 or 4 people in one team compared to only one person weakest in 1 team.

I have another "problem" with Tobi.

So he's 3rd in a sequence to attack. My main is first (fire). My main is pumped up with refines and purifies - in other words, he's my 1st and main attacker (Dragon Flame). But for some idiotic reason (well, ranked is all about that it seems), Tobi always goes first. Absolutely always.

If i switch Tobi to 2nd position, then my main goes first (sometimes), but then i broke my combo sequence cause i moved Tobi to 2nd.

So how to counter that ?

Hey

I believe it's because the AI Ranked functions with the priority of the strongest "single target" skill over "optimal" functionality. Can be a bummer, but if Tobi is set to always use his skill, round a team to combo off of him. Hope that helps.
