Since there’re over thirty DLC characters to choose from, each offering game changing mechanics, understanding which DLC is buy is absolutely essential in Shinobi Strikers. By understanding what works best, consumers can thereby save themselves unnecessary purchases, thereby streamlining their gameplay experience.
This article will go over the three best, most OP healer DLC for Shinobi Strikers, while discussing why they’re incredibly valuable. But as to keep things streamlined, this article won’t discuss the cosmetics, but rather go into the gameplay aspects each healer DLC provides.

Madara Uchiha (six paths) DLC
As of now, Uchiha Madara (six paths) is easily one of the best healer DLC in the game. One reason he’s so good is in part to his Ninjutus, Sage Art: Shadow Style: Thunder Blast. This grants the healer super armor while they charge up — and though they still take damage, they don’t flinch. The character then unleashes a massive lighting blast, which deals great damage and staggers enemies.
It allows healers to offensively handle themselves, decreasing the enemy’s substitution stock (when fully charged), and set up combos — a very important aspect of the game which healers often lack in.
But that’s not all. Madara Uchiha DLC (six paths) in Shinobi Strikers has access to infinite Tsukiyomi, which is a global ultimate that stuns every enemy. On its second activation, it traps the enemies close by in a caccoon, dealing immense damage, quite literally leaving them with only a single hits left of HP.
To top things off, this healer DLC comes with a brand new weapon with unique combos — Madara’s staff. And honestly, it’s pretty solid. It doesn’t combo very well, but it’s great at fighting for objective control thanks to its overwhelming heavy attack.
Kaguya Otsutsuki DLC
The newest addition to Shinobi Strikers is easily one of the greatest healing types in the game. Her ultimate jutsu is incredibly broken, potentially isolating multiple targets on the enemy team. In addition, Kaguya’s Jojo like attack jutsu provides great utility for healing types, who have lacked this type of offensive option.
And of course, Kaguya’s substitution jutsu is one of the best in the game. This, on its own, makes the Kaguya Otsutsuki DLC worth purchasing. For those on budget, this Kaguya DLC is undeniably amazing.
Itachi Uchiha (Reanimation) DLC
Itachi Uchia DLC (Reanimation) is absolutely busted. It gives players access to the best healer move in the game, which, ironically, doesn’t actually heal: Yasaka Beads. This grants the user invulnerability to almost every move in the game, excluding perhaps ultimate jutsus.

Not only that, it knocks enemies away, then shoots out an incredibly powerful projectile. This projectile has amazing tracking, and therefore allows healers to essentially snipe enemies while remaining invulnerable for a short period of time.
This move on its own makes Itachi Uchiha DLC (Reanimation) for Shinobi Strikeres worth purchasing — especially for players looking to build the best healer builds. Outside of this move, Itachi’s ultimate is also pretty decent, but it’s more gimmicky than meta.
Naruto Uzumaki (Last Battle)
This is the last recommendation for this article: Naruto Uzumaki (Last Battle) DLC, also known as Sage of Six Paths Naruto. He offers a phenomenal ultimate, easily the most reliable damage ultimate for healers in the game. For those wanting to just one shot their enemies with great tracking, Last Battle Naruto DLC offers exactly that with Six Paths: Massive Rasen Shuriken.
Outside of his ultimate, Naruto Uzumaki’s other Ninjutsu aren’t bad. In fact, they’re pretty cool, offering unique playstyle, but they’re not necessarily meta. If anything, players should purchase this DLC for the Ultimate Jutsu — it’s simply that broken.
In conclusion
Hopefully this article helped players wanting to better inform their healer DLC purchases for Shinobi Strikers. Keep in mind, this short list only prioritized gameplay elements comparing strength in the meta.
Each player has their own individual playstyle, and should purchase downloadable content with Ninjutsu or add-ons they prefer. Whether it’s because the DLC gives their favorite character as a mentor or a fun looking move, players don’t always have to follow the meta to have fun in Shinobi Strikers.
