Hello, wondering if anyone can find the logic in the fact that tobirama swimsuit, a p2w only character is one of the worst characters in the game, but tobi new year who has been free multiple times over has been buffed to have more standards than shisui susano sb, more than kinkaku tailed beast mode and new year does more damage than swimsui even with their stat stacking being 1% per mark and 10% per times attacked and new year can be immune.

Mortgage cost tobi

Mystery

hits 7 units, causes interrupt to the 1 targeted

avoidable damage to 9 units

knockdown and supress super armour to targeted character ( worthless in a game where every stacked p1 is a dodge unit)

attacks a line, has very slim chances to cause knockdown to random hit unit

Chase

chases knockdown cause high float, drain 20 chakra and suppress immunity

Passive 1

a worthless barrier that does nothing and if you use tobi's mystery, which is his entire gimmick to mystery every round given they alternate, he will instantly destroy it

Buffs def/res supposedly by 25%, although damage received never reflects such chunks of buffs

Passive 2

"50% chance of evading mystery skills and standard attacks" in reality less than 0.00000000000005%

70% less damage from 10 chases received

stacks nin 10% each time attacked

Free tobi

Mystery

avoidable damage to 9 units

hiraishin mark to targeted enemy

makes self immune

Standard

randomly attacks 1 enemy, row or column

randomly cause low float, repulse or knockdown

decreases atk/nin 5%

Chase

chase low float cause interruption, hiraishin mark, knockdown, triggered twice a round

Passive

Legitimate "high chance" of dodging mystery, chase or standard once per round

Uses his mystery if his standard connects with an enemy, up to 3 times per round, if it hits a line triggers passive 2 instantly

Passive 2

at start of each round increase own initiative by .5 per hiraishin mark

gets extra attacks ( 10 per round)

increase atk vy 1% and nin 3% until end of fight

I am all for free characters being viable and tobi is cool, but I fail to see the thought process, why take the rarest form of a rarely used character, make him one of the worst characters on the roster and then put him in money only events, was there some balance change in china that made his buffs make sense? did oasis screw up and not bother to fix it?
