Crimson Fist Builds

## Mid-Level Lineups

Requirements

**Suigetsu + Crimson Fist, is the core of the team. Everything else is very open to your own needs.**

**Required Ninjas:** Suigetsu, Crimson Fist

**Optional Ninjas:** YOU WILL NEED ONE NINJA CAPABLE OF CHASING KNOCKDOWN TO HIGHFLOAT

AND ANOTHER CAPABLE OF CHASING LOW FLOAT TO HIGHFLOAT

**Knockdown to High Float:**

 Karin, **Neji**, Shizune, **Kabuto**, etc

**Low Float to High Float:**

**Tsunade**, Temari, Tayuya, etc.

**Required Summons:** Eight Span Bird (illusion crow kinda works)

Choices of Talents and Ninjas Explanation

The thought behind this team was to utilize **Suigetsu** and abuse the fact that he's an extremely good assassin. He has a **tag** ability to hone down single targets, and the fact that he can attack twice has saved me countless times. Crimson Fist acts as a support in this build to give **Suigetsu** a bonus attack and to create shields to increase survivability.

When using **Eight Span Bird**, the max combo would be 7, and there would only be 3 ways to initiate it. **Suigetsu's** mystery, auto attack, and **Tsunade's** auto attack. However, any of these 3 activations will trigger the complete 7 hit combo. I will discuss more triggers later on.

Tag **is a debuff which weakens the enemy's defence and resistance by** 20% (maybe 30% according to まだまだ). **(Correct me if this has changed since I last played)**

By tagging someone before or during a combo, damage against the target is amplified. Which is why i call **Suigetsu** an ultimate assasin.

**Suigetsu** also has some decent survivability thanks to his increased evasion rate, it has come in clutch a few times, allowing him to survive at low hp. Then depend fully on the **Crimson Fist** shields as my healers slowly bring him back to full hp.

In the formation I have above, I chose **Kabuto**, and **Tsunade**, as the modular components to have more heals. When using **Crimson Fist**'s mystery, every ninjas gets +1 Standard attack. This means that **Crimson Fist** will generate TWO stacks of shields, **Suigetsu** can attack THREE times, **Kabuto** and **Tsunade** can heal TWO time each. Both **Kabuto** and **Tsunade** can heal 2 ninjas at a time. Some simple math would show that in that one turn, Up to 8 Heals are conducted.

When using a team that has **Tsunade** on it, I try to keep Tsunade's base hp as the **lowest on the team**. That way assasin skills and auto players will target her first. **Tsunade** has a MASSIVE rack **% based heal**, which allows her to stay alive after taking some hits. Theoretically, she would be targetted by auto player's mystery skill, those skills would first have to break through **shields** generated by **Crimson Fist**, but they would still target her. Eventually the dmg will affect her hp, but once it does so, she can heal and restart. Basically, if the enemy is playing auto, the mystery skills should always be targetting her instead of any other ninjas.

**USING TAYUYA:**

I havent used **Tayuya** that often, but she does carry a curse mark. and if you've read my other tips and tricks post. **Kabuto** can abuse those curse marks and inflict damage on her to boost her ninjutsu. With the +1 standard attack from crimson fist. **Kabuto** can boost her ninjutsu twice in that one turn. She's capable of adding some CC(crowd control) in the form of **sleep**. she can also attack multiple targets. If fights last long she becomes an extremely scary weapon near the late rounds. With massive boosts to her ninjutsu, her mystery skill is capable of taking out the last remaining ninjas **TWO at a time**.

**Kabuto** is used as an extra set of heals, and he's there for some stalling. Generating clones to mitigate enemy standard attacks. If they happen to survive, the clones can gain +1 standard attacks as well. They can also benefit from the shields, which CAN POTENTIALLY act as another ninja considering how powerful the shield gets and how many times they can attack collectively. There's space for 5 extra clones, if they all gain 1 bonus attack, that's 10 standard attacks + 3 from **Suigetsu** and +2 from **Tsunade**.

**USING NEJI:**

**Neji** in any form (regular or great ninja war), is capable of **Acupuncture**. This is especially useful when you're against stronger opponents which can literally wipe your team with their mystery skills. People like **Hidan**, or **Kakuzu**. Having **Neji** instead of **Kabuto** also means more damage because **Neji** can become a trigger to the 7 hit combo I spoke of. The great ninja war **Neji** is also capable of evading many more standard attacks, attacking as a more effective stall compared to **Kabuto's** clones.
