Buffs are easy enough to deal with/fight against as long as u're not trying to 1 v 1 shibuki or something
Akat buff - nothing special akat can lose equal number fights even with buffs on the buff cant carry them, u can even wim 1 v 1 against a buffed akat, skill matchup
Pb - puppets are very squishy dies in 1 or 2 Jutsu, they are spammable but the puppet barely does anything other than being a meatshield
12G - weaker akat buff
7sm - you are less likely able to beat shibuki executioner and hira in 1v 1 they can actually carry their user unlike akat buff Samehada is completely useless in all situations, u can get around hammer the auto CD is around 3sec, u can get around kiba in large arena, nuibari is useless in 1v1 very slow projectile long auto CF very low dmg
In raids they don't carry their user as much except kiba in some cases but 7sm can easily lose against 8 or 9 normal players depending on the arena and how skilled the normal players are.
