Chakra & jutsu

Casting#

A jutsu costs chakra and then goes on cooldown. Chakra is your moment-to-moment budget (it regenerates through the match, so running dry is temporary) while the cooldown is what stops a technique being used twice in a row. A technique you cannot afford and a technique still cooling down both read as unavailable on the bar.

Categories#

Every technique is one of five kinds, and the mix you take is most of what decides how you play:

• Offense: damage, from single strikes to area bursts.
• Defense: shields, barriers, and damage you avoid rather than out-trade.
• Support: healing and buffs, for yourself or a teammate.
• Mobility: closing distance, escaping it, or getting somewhere you should not be.
• Ultimate: your heaviest technique. It occupies its own slot and costs accordingly.

Where techniques come from#

Most techniques belong to a blessing and can only be equipped by a ninja carrying it. A smaller set is standalone, available whatever you have picked, and one, Substitution, is universal: everyone has it and nobody equips it, so it never costs you a slot.

Every technique (111)#

Damage and radius are blank for techniques whose effect is not a single hit: buffs, movement, and summons carry their numbers in phases.
