Use the Lineup Simulator to find good teams without a main char. The simulator is your best friend for finding ways to test new ninjas you recruit. My current ranked teams are something like this (don't quote me, because I change them a lot)
All sun tactics (you will unlock tactics when you level up a little)
X X X
X Gaara, Hinata
X Tobi, Kakashi
X Earth main X
X Asuma, Sasuke
X X Mifune
(serpent summon) talents: 2, 3, 2, 2, 2
X Kimimaro X
X sasuke, Jugo
X Karin X
This has changed in the past couple days but using the simulator will help make a great ranked team. I now use Ao, Kurotsuchi, and Suigetsu but I forget where I put them; I used this lineup from 60-79 with great efficiency.
