In the field of anime-adapted mobile games, Naruto: Leaf Village Master, as an officially licensed vertical screen idle card game, has sparked a craze in 2025 with its highly restorative plot scenes, original voice actors' dubbing, and strategically rich lineup combinations. How to pair the beginner lineup in Naruto: Leaf Village Master is currently the most critical issue players need to pay attention to, especially for new players who, when first entering this game world, need some guidance to quickly build their battle lineups.
Let's unveil the current version's T0 character strength ranking. In the support domain, SSS Tsunade is famous for her powerful single-target support abilities, capable of providing critical assistance to teammates accurately. In terms of damage output, SSS Raikage dominates with his overwhelming group damage, featuring a wide skill range that hits all enemies in the area, making him the main firepower of the team. On the defensive front, SSS Gaara, with his sturdy defensive stance and excellent group protection skills, becomes the frontline ninja of the team, allowing teammates to output damage in a safe environment.
Meanwhile, SSS Sasuke Uchiha and SSS Orochimaru, known for their group abilities and relatively easy acquisition, have become popular choices among many players. Additionally, other strong SSS characters like SSS Kakuzu and SSS Mu are also very suitable for inclusion in the team. However, for many new players, obtaining SSS ninjas is quite challenging, which poses a challenge to their lineup construction. Therefore, I will recommend some practical alternative lineups next, mainly consisting of SSS+SS combinations, built according to a 4+2 or 3+3 configuration. For players with slightly less luck, a 2+4 configuration is a more feasible choice.
For support alternatives, SS Ino Yamanaka and SS Sakura Haruno are two excellent choices. As the only SS ninjas with healing skills, they play the role of healers in the team, able to replenish teammates' health promptly. The best single-target damage output alternative can be SSS Naruto or SS Yugito Nii, both of whom excel in individual damage, capable of dealing lethal blows to key enemy targets. The strongest defense alternative is none other than SS Kurotsuchi, who is easy to obtain and possesses group defense skills, effectively reducing the damage the team receives. For group AOE, Orochimaru and Sasuke remain the top picks, but if players do not yet own these two characters, there's no need to worry; SSS Mei Terumi can serve as a good alternative. Although there isn't a particularly strong SS character to replace in the AOE aspect, players should still try to collect SSS characters to enhance the overall strength of the team.
There are also other powerful alternatives recommended, such as SS Hinata Hyuga and SS Konan, who can play unique roles in the team. The carefully recommended alternative lineup here consists of SSS Orochimaru + SSS Naruto + SSS Mei Terumi + SS Kurotsuchi + SS Ino Yamanaka + SS Hinata Hyuga. This lineup ensures output and defense, while the addition of Mei Terumi and Hinata Hyuga makes the lineup more versatile in functionality.
For non-spending players, or those on a zero-spend or monthly card plan, obtaining SSS legendary ninjas is extremely difficult. Drawing cards and exchanging fragments, getting one per week is already considered very lucky. SSS advanced ninjas can basically only be obtained by daily wishes. Therefore, for these players, it's better to find some SS and S-level characters for the early transition. These characters are more friendly to newcomers and can help players quickly accumulate resources and boost their strength in the early stages of the game.
For example, Gaara's full-team shield skill provides strong protection to teammates in team battles. Tsunade, if the timing of her ultimate skill is right, can keep teammates safe for a long time. Orochimaru is relatively easy to level up and also performs well in terms of output. Personally, I prefer the single-target output playstyle. For players pursuing extreme output, they can also try to form a personal pursuit burst vulnerability team. The vulnerability team stands out among many lineups due to its unique core mechanism, which increases our damage by 3% and reduces healing by 3% for each stack, lasting for 5 turns, with a maximum of 10 stacks.
This mechanism gives the vulnerability team a significant advantage in output, allowing them to deal heavy damage to enemies in a short time. The core output in the early stages should be represented by SSS+ Kakashi, who, with their high output capabilities, can quickly trigger the vulnerability effect. The other five members should be chosen based on their ability to provide group buffs or inflict negative effects on the enemy, such as speed reduction, attack increase, damage increase, and control. By using various means to enhance the team's output and control capabilities, the enemy will have nowhere to run in a vulnerable state.
The vulnerability team is currently considered the strongest lineup and the one with the most characters. Its strongest lineup includes Sasuke, Danzo, Kakashi, Killer B, Third Raikage, and Tsunade. However, it's important to note that this lineup includes four SSS+ characters, so for ordinary players, there's no need to rush into cultivating them. Instead, you can work towards accumulating resources in this direction, gradually improving your strength, and then form this luxurious lineup when the time is right.
The above is the introduction to how to pair the beginner lineup in Naruto: Leaf Village Master. The lineups here include combinations specifically prepared for early-stage players, as well as some that are more challenging to recruit and can only be formed later. You can see which ones suit you better.
