Puppet Teams?

[GrandMajora]

Rookie player here: I'm trying to become a puppet user, but I'm having difficulty mastering the play style.

One thing I'm trying to find out is what kind of support characters I should be bringing to the fight? As in, what types of skills would compliment the puppet master, instead of being more of a hinderance?

Hi there,

I have played puppets in all the storms games since Storm 2 on PS3, and my recommendation to new puppet masters is to pick strong and defensive supports.

The biggest issue you'll face is the rush down "meta" that everyone uses. It's surprisongly hard to defend against people who pretty much only dash, leader switch and mash combos when you are a puppet user. Therefore I recommend some strong assists to help you out. Nagata or pain is a must have imo for a beginner, and after that I'd recommend Naruto's jutsu when he's an adult.

You can also use strong zoning jutsus like Kakuzu and a strike back support is very good to have.

Other than that you'll learn a lot faster if you observe some strong puppet masters play, and pick up the little things they do, and to get some inspiration for teams.
