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 (31)#
Damage and radius are blank for techniques whose effect is not a single hit: buffs, movement, and summons carry their numbers in phases.
Blessing actives have no cooldown of their own: they share a short global cadence and are limited by chakra. Ultimates cost no chakra; they fire from a full Charge bar, and their cooldown is the Charge recharge that follows.
