Midnight Blade New Roots Lineup—Hidan Version

Talents: Chidori Blade—Shadow, Beam of Light, Lightning Sword, Killing Intention of Warrior, Root of Warrior
Summons: Flood Dragon and/or Dog of Hell. If you don’t have them, you can substitute you passive skills with Lai Giri Decapitation and use Summoning Jutsu—Rhino (or some other purple summon).

Lineup: The Beast Kill Formation
Lineup Details:
First of all, note that Fu Yamanaka has to move again after the character moves because the first placed or first moved ninja gets priority to release skills. Midnight Blade’s Root of Warrior skill gives Fu Yamanaka 100% resistance, but the shield and life produced by Fu Yamanaka’s passive skills are related to his resistance (If the character moves after Fu Yamanaka moves, then Yamanaka’s shield and life will be halved).

The advantage of this lineup is a good first shield (generally about 5000-6000). Hidan also has ultra-high outputs (Hidan’s own damage + Danzo’s 40% barrier enhancement + 40% Killing Intention of Warrior enhancement). Moreover, the mystery skill gets interrupted (The Root of Warrior round includes paralysis and chaos caused by chase and attack and paralysis caused by mystery skills, etc., none of which can be interrupted). Since Hidan is a ninja who carries a knife, his mystery skills will cool down and reset directly after he kills enemy target. Note that Danzo’s Izanagi—Endless can save Hidan. It will restore his life to the 80% mark (even if Hidan is dead because he’ll resurrect after 2 rounds). This will greatly improve the lineup’s cruising ability.

In Naruto game other respects, Midnight Blade Position 1 applies mystery skills can directly cause a set of combo control on 1 enemy unit. Coordinate with Fu Yamanaka’s skills to control in defense the enemy’s Positions 1 and 2 mystery skill ninjas in defense. It partially makes up for Hidan’s non-mystery skill and tractability flaws after Round 3. Moreover, Danzo’s presence disables the opponent’s ability to resurrect. Even if the opponent convenes fire on Danzo, Hidan will have been damaged enough before Danzo snuffs out. This is a strong output and strong cruising power lineup. The only hitch is the lineup is only manually operable (going autopilot might run the risk of short circuiting Hidan’s skills because of the cooldown for 3 rounds rule). Also, the situation of Hidan not being able to take out anybody might arise in Round 2 if the opponent stacks up a heavy set of shields. It won’t get any better if dragged out to Round 3 when Hidan will be easily controlled. If you find yourself in these circumstances, you can consider the following set of operations (Remark: this is for your reference only because there will be considerable variance depending on your opponent):
Round 1: Fu Yamanaka controls in defense 1 enemy unit (decide on whom to control depending on the situation. For example, if your opponent applies the Root of Warrior, you can choose not to apply any skills in this round).

Round 2: Hidan applies mystery skills on the enemy unit with the least life. It’s possible to kill him with mystery skills. Reset Hidan with cooldown directly. If Yamanaka didn’t apply mystery skills in the last round, you can control 1 enemy unit in this round (Your best choice is to control the ninja who might apply mystery skills in the next round or the medical ninja). Apply the character’s mystery skills when clones and/or puppets are present either on your side or your opponent’s side. Try to accumulate at least 20 CKL and have Hidan deal the finishing stroke should do (It’s best for dealing with a Danzo-Yamanaka-Sasuke-Root of Warrior Midnight blade lineup).

Round 3: Midnight Blade applies the first attack and gains control of 1 enemy unit (generally speaking, choose to control over the opponent’s mystery skill ninja or control type ninja). When the timing is right, let Hidan apply his skills. The reason you have to time Hidan is because the Root of Warrior effect has expired by this round, and so, Hidan is in danger of falling under enemy control (Even though he has immunity against interruption, but he’s still at risk for paralysis, chaos, and such, so it’s best to stay vigilant). Keep on picking on those who you can take out for sure. Then, reset by cooling down. Remark: Danzo’s mystery skills have not been clearly written about, but depending on the situation, let him apply his them on Hidan (because Hidan’s life will directly restore to the 80% level).
