I'd change it to +nin -atk since wind main is squishy enough to lower any defense stats. Plus, the worst thing you can reduce is life.

Yeh +nin -atk seems the most common one since a lot of people use the all girl team and it's best for that. But if you use your main in more supportive role with clones and reset mystery, +life -atk is better choice imo.

-def +resistance for flower guard/staying alive
-def +ninjutsu for high damage

...Just keep her in the back, and have good tanks/clones.

hi, sorry if I've revived this thread, but you seem to know what you are talking about. I am using Empress team and as you rightly said in another thread, she does gets targeted straight after Hinata is CC'd. So, my question is, is there a certain lineup (formation in squares) that i should set my empress? Thanks! This post was last edited by sai***@hotmail.com at 2016-11-16 03:27

I still use standard Empress during Matsuri, and I usually go with the following formations. I can provide a text version of them if you prefer. Not sure what you're using at the moment, if you have tried of these I'll see if I can figure something out in arena.

My Karin can take more hits than Kurenai, and Kurenai needs to be alive to heal and shield Hinata or Main. Vs Fire mains I use Hinata's mystery round 1, vs almost anything else I use Karin's. However, this formation does mean your main will be attacked by standards quite quickly if Hinata dies, it's hard to make an Empress formation that does not have this occur, since your main should be move 2 so you can get her mystery off...

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. ^^ I'm a little rusty with this build if I'm to be honest. I wish you luck!
