The lighting bird isnt used for buff removal. It is used to make the buffed blues attack a second time.
For example, a 500atk spies get buffed up to 800atk with capn’s buff, then you use lighting fast to make spies attack once and see which enemy got focused and then you use spies’ attack and kill 2-3 enemies because of the chain attack.
If you manage to kill at least 2 enemies then the enemy banner goes down before the enemies respawn

My most succesfull team is:
Chuck – Lighting bird – Phoenix set
Bomb – Cap’n – Candy bomb set
The Blues – Spies – Any set

If you start first, you buff the blues, use lighting fast on blues and then attack to finish off at least one bird.

If you start second, the enemies will most likely focus chuck and trigger his revival. Then you use the tactic above.
I have 100% win rate with 3* against equal/weaker enemies and ~90% win rate against stronger enemies.

A great weakness is fighting against enemies that use poison since you have no healing skills
