Anyone playing green Kata in current meta?

I just used green Kata for some "Recover Treasure Gauge"-missions and he was pretty decent. "Grand-Line"-Tag + a medal-set of lucci-wolf and a standard 5%-damage reduction medal made him a great mid-flag defender against hords of shanks.

His skills are very easy to control and hit shanks constantly, even in his haki-state.

Has anyone made similar experiences recently?
