I wanted to create a control team for a while now. A team that uses Shikamaru at least.
Ive finally managed to create a decent team which has very good control and counters.

Required Ninjas
Kurenai, Shikamaru, Neji, and Midnight Blade

Neji seems to be the only person to die when I win.... hehehehehe

Required Summons
Ninjas Monkey - CORE OF THE TEAM

The placement of the ninjas is as follows:


Midnint Blade Talents


Choice of Talents and Ninjas Explaination


The premise of this team is to be able to stop your opponents from using their mystery skills.
There are a few abilities which can do that Immobile, Acupuncture, Interupt.
Skills which cause these will stop mystery skills if timed properly.


I really wanted to use Shikamaru because of his unique skill to immobile oppenents, thus I created this team around him. Because Shikamaru only chases Knockdown I had to create combos which ended in Knockdown.


One of the few ninjas which could Acupuncture was Neji. So i had to include him on my team. He could evade first attacks to buy time for the Immobile. but he c*so stop opponents with his own skill. The only problem was that Neji chases Knockdown as well. So our hero comes in. Ninja Monkey the core of the team. He brings whatever Neji High Floats back to a Knockdown.

Now we have Shikamaru, Neji, and Midnight Blade. It's essentially a working team, however we're wasting Midnight Blade's Chase ability. I chose to use Lai Giri because it was the easiest to bring back down to a Knockdown. So all I had to do right now was find a ninjas capable of Chase Knockdown, Cause Repulse. I had 2 ninjas capable of doing that. Sai and Kurenai both are very good candidates, I chose Kurenai because of her heal and the ability to DOUBLE MIRROR GENJUTSU so that i dont end up controlling myself.

Using this team
This team is a little more difficult to use than my Clone Team with Kakashi, Sai, Kabuto. Since you have to know when to use what skill, and also who to use your skill on.


With this team, you have 3 abilities to stop opposing jutsu. Neji's Acupuncture, Shikamaru's Immobile. Even your Midnight Blade's Mystery skill will cause and interupt on whoever you target because it ends in a Knockdown, and Shikamaru can chase those and cause Immobile.

Most of the damage will end up on Neji, but thats okay because he has the highest chance of Evading, and since he seems to be the only one taking damage. Kurenai's Heal and Shield are enough to sustain the fight. Neji takes the most damage because standard attacks only go for whatever is at the front... they wont have chances to use mystery.

TIPS
-Shikamaru's Immobile will nullify Hinata and Neji evasion, allowing you to combo them on first turn if your standard attack triggers a knockdown
-With so many combo opportunities, wait before you use Shikamaru's Immobile, that way you can proc the second effect to cause more damage and ignition.

Closing Thoughts

This team for me is very fun to use, and I think it can rival some of the Scarlet Blaze Control teams. The only weakness is that you only have ONE trigger mystery skill, everything else is based on standard attacks.


If there are questions or corrections i have to make, please respond below. Last time i made a guide, i got a lot of PM's i would rather answer the same question for everyone. THANKS FOR READING
