I'd say Kai and Nya vs Skulkins, Garmadons against Serpentine, Wu and Misako against Stone Army, Jay and Zane against Nindroids and Cole against whatever threat instigates the return of past villains (and because he hasn't been the focus character in any waves. And it'd be nice for him to actually get the chance to fulfill the leader role he was originally supposed to have).

When it comes to pairing Ninja with Villains for the Summer I would go with a route as follows:

Nya vs. Skullkin (These were the only characters that Nya never directly fought in the course of their screen time. These are the only characters that sidelined her by normal means as well)

Lloyd vs. Serpentine

Wu vs. Stone Army (Fighting the Stone Army, like his Father before him)

Zane vs. Nindroids

Kai vs. Anacondrai Cultists (Kai featured major development in the season that the Cultist were introduced)

Cole vs. Ghosts

Jay vs. The Crew of Misfortune's Keep

After some thought, here are my suggestions.

I preferred to leave out Wu and Garmadon,since they should be advisors rather than heroes who do battle and who the kids identify with. That left me with six ninjas vs 7 enemy factions , so I brought in Dareth "the brown Ninja".

-Skulkin - Kai (he was the focus of this first arc, and they were the reason he became a ninja)

-Serpentine - Lloyd (this is where his arc begins) OR Jay (they attacked his parents and almost turned them into snakes) OR Nya (this is where she became Samurai X)

-Stone Army - Dareth (he was ultimately responsible fort heir defeat, after all) OR Lloyd (because of the "golden ninja defeating the overlord" thing)

-Nindroids - Zane (obvious)

-Cultists - Tough one. Basically the leftover slot. In the end, I went with Nya as no one else really fits. And she did shine in this season, going after the rest of the gang, going undercover, etc. OR maybe Good Guy Garmadon, since he has a history with them.

-Ghosts - Cole (obvious)

-Pirates - Jay (obvious)

In the event that the pirates would be seen as too recent to be used again so soon, it leaves us with six ninjas vs six factions, making it a bit less messy:

-Skulkin - Kai

-Serpentine - Jay

-Stone Army - Lloyd

-Nindroids - Zane

-Cultists - Nya

-Ghosts - Cole

It would be possible to switch Kai and Nya for the reasons Penkid gave above.

This is perfect, although Wu isn't necessary in this situation.

Glad that you like it.

Just curious, though, what exactly do you mean that Wu isn't necessary? Would the hypothetical Stone Army set feature someone else, several Ninja, or are the Stone Army not involved at all? This is, of course, if by "perfect" you mean that this is the layout of battles in the sets.

From my understanding, the stone army aren't involved with this upcoming wave.

Kai - Skulkins because the story began with him fighting them and trying to save Nya

Jay - Pirates (obviously)

Cole - Ghosts, because he's a ghost. Now that Morro is gone, Sensei Yang could be the new ghost leader, and the story should be Cole's revenge because he is guilty for him becoming the ghost. This is very likely, because that user who leaked summer set info also said a ghostly sensei is one of the villains.

Zane - Nindroids obviously, led by white Cryptor.

Lloyd - Serpentine, because his story in the show started with snakes and Pythor.

Wu - Stone Army, the oldest army, led by the Overlord. Garmadon is most probably not dead so he could join him. Also what Penkid said.

The only remaining army are Anacondrai cultists, but since they all turned into Serpentine, then ghost Serpentine, got sucked into the cursed realm (which then exploded) I doubt that they can come back. All other armies are still alive in some form. Anyway I think that this wave will be full of great minifigs. I really want that white Cryptor.

Oops, forgot about her. Maybe an entirely new army that will be revealed in summer, or even Ronin's dark samurai army. I know that SoR isn't canon, but we also know that ninjas did fight Ronin before ghosts, so maybe he actually controlled a samurai army. Also Nya and Ronin have a strange relationship which makes me think that. There is also this 'Ronin Mech' set. Now that I think about it more it makes sense. I'm not sure about the samurai army, but I've always wanted an army of human samurais in Ninjago.

A few things I would like to see are:

#1.The Ninja VS. Evil Ronin, Ronin in his black samurai armor, I know its not canon, but if he wore it in the show, the Ninja wouldn't know it was him and he would probably be a good villain.

#2.Pixal brought back in physical form.

#3.the return of the Overlord.

P.S. The Djinn Blade in the show has a better name "the Sword of Souls" and theres only one.

If the Overlord manages to return three times after being defeated, wouldn't it then make sense if the First Spinjitsu Master is still around somewhere? I would love to see him appear in a set!

I'd say that it's actually Nya or Cole who fight ghosts. Since water is fatal to them.

Other than that, the rivals category is looking good.

Also, the tiger widow island set apparently has curved lightsaber hilts. I don't have those.

It's not the first time I've been wowed by cheap set names... Especially not in Ninjago, so I have high hopes for this summer wave.

Well, the first spinjitzu is more mortal like, like he is a mortal with great power. But the Overlord is an immortal and he can't actually be destroyed, as he's evil itself. So I guess he'll eventually return, maybe in a cliffhanger ending for season 7 !

Yeah, it really annoys me too. Also the constant theme of the bad guy's reason for opposing the ninja being so wishy-washy that any villain that shows up has a 50% chance of turning good by the end of their plot arc. Really, if they have to apply those to any character, why not give the Great Devourer another go? It'd make a perfect way to dispose of dangerous artifacts and powerful enemies.

I could see the Great Devourer happening, it would be a cool to see it again.

Also, Lloyd has witnessed the double flip kick of fang kwon do. It would be an awesome throwback if he got punk'd with the same move.
