I am using wind main and empress build isn't the best right now

Full wind teams are best right now for BD imo.

Empress as it were won't work as well now, but that doesn't mean a girl (or 2+main girls) team won't work.
The main's shield gets applied every turn, which means in longer game, it actually give MORE shield.
The main cleanses, thus eliminating the need for karin cleanse, so you have more flexibility
The team doesn't have to be all girl, thou queen's momentum still benefit from a 4th, having 3 girl will guarantee on whom the shield and cleanse land on. So you could have one male ninja (ideally, playboy sasuke, but that's kinda ptw)

So as it were, probably no, but you can build something around it.

I actually found that classic Empress in some ways works better. You don't have as much power on your other members, but the shield refresh and more importantly, the debuff purge, increases survivability by a lot. Also Rasengan cooldown going from 4 rounds to 3 after using twice makes a significant difference.

But in the end it will always be a very binary comp that can get shutdown rather easily.

Yup,

The new Flower Guard is one of the staple skills re-invented for patch 2.0. Purge and Guard nothing else you could ask.

Empress build is always about empowering the main character which means.
1. 2 female ninjas in team - Kurenai (for mirror + shield and massive heal) + Hinata (for his tankiness + acupuncture)
2. 1 Male ninjas which basically can disable the whole team - Recommended Gaara Kazekage for his immobile and buff.

This team work wonders now, provided you have first initiative faster than your opponents or if the power gap is not too much wait for your enemy to cast mystery then Flower Guard will cleanse the debuff EVERY round FIRST then only it will cast the mystery.

Regards.

if you want the empress build to work, just change the summon from ninja monkey to tigers ;P
