Core MechanicSkill 2 · Fire Enhancement

After using Fire Style, the next skill gains a Fire enhancement. Flames are added to the skill, and on hitting an enemy it applies a burn effect that deals continuous damage. The more hits the attack lands, the stronger the burn effect.

Tip Fire enhancement adds a burn effect to skills and can be used for burst damage. The burn's strength depends on the number of hits, so using it on a jutsu with many hits can have remarkable results.

Core MechanicSkill 2 · Water Enhancement

After using Water Style, the next skill gains a Water enhancement. Water Style is added to the skill, and on hitting an enemy it applies a soaked effect that lowers their movement speed. The more hits the attack lands, the stronger the soaked effect.

Core MechanicSkill 2 · Earth Enhancement

After using Earth Style, the next skill gains an Earth enhancement. Rocks are wrapped into the skill to attack, and Nagato has super armor while casting it.

Tip Skills released with Earth enhancement have super armor, so against ninjas without grabs you can push forward and open on the enemy.

Exclusive ScrollSpecial mechanic

Taijutsu: Guard→BecomesSealing Technique: Absorption Seal

When Nagato carries the secret scroll Taijutsu: Guard, it is replaced by Nagato's Exclusive Scroll, Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal. After use, a protective barrier is deployed and Nagato is invincible while it lasts. Enemy skills that hit the barrier do not grant them Ultimate points, and each time the barrier is attacked, Nagato recovers one Ultimate point.

Tip A powerful defensive skill that can forcibly absorb most opening skills, and the enemy gains no Ultimate points. When the opponent Substitutes to counterattack, it is easier to drain their Ultimate points so they cannot Substitute.
