Bloodline Guide: Bakuhatsu This will be the showcase of the bloodline mentioned above, Bakuhatsu. We are gonna look into the jutsu that the bloodline have and what we can bring with the rest of the jutsu. Inferno Cataclysm (60ap) This jutsu got something special, a ground effect. What does that mean ? Enemies that are staying on a tile where this is applied are gonna be affected. The jutsu is a standard 30 EP (effective power) with a recoil ground effect. You can use this when you are out of DR ( damage reduction) , as enemies who will hit you will receive a % of the damage back. One important thing to mention here is that ground effect are INSTANT. Let’s say for example you are the first to move and start with this jutsu, affecting the tile where the enemy is, he s gonna get tagged with recoil the same round. Kinetic Nova ( 60ap) This jutsu is your NUKE, your main weapon. The jutsu tag consist of wound, that means opponent is gonna a portion of the damage as a wound for 2 rounds. Let’s say for example I hit the enemy with 1000 damage, the wound is gonna be 25%, 250 damage for 2 rounds. You want to pair this with any IDG and IDT ( increase damage given and increase damage taken) , so the damage and the wound to be higher. This works with Chakra overflow for example, or with Charge 4 Explosion , one of the next jutsu in the guide. Blast shield (40ap) This is what makes Bakuhatsu special, having a circle wall that can protect you from enemy jutsu. Aditionaly, it got 35% DR ( damage reduction). This effect is also instant, which gives you an advantage being the first one to move. Use it when you are out of DR sources and the opponent is taking an aggressive turn in terms of buffs/debuffs, cutting his damage. Charge 4 Explosion ( 40ap) This is your 3 tag jutsu , we got here IDT and IDG (mentioned above for the abbreviation) combined with 35% afterburn effect. You want to use this when opponent is low on DR and you want to put a lot of pressure. You can use it in pair with lifesteal , so you sustain in the fight aswell as dealing tons of damage to the opposition. Howitzer Crash (60AP) This is a movement jutsu ( allows you to travel 5 squares) combined with damage and IDG. If you are 5 or 6 squares away from the enemy, you can engage with this, closing the distance and putting some pressure with the IDG. For maximum efficacy, I would suggest pairing this with some DR to be protected and not get blown away. This are the jutsu that Bakuhatsu has in its kit, now let s move further onto the next jutsu you can use to have synergy. First things first, let s talk about how you protect against enemies and their ramping up. For this, you can use Eternal Darkness, it s the #1 DR source jutsu. Also having access to earth element, we have Earth Armor too, which is a very good source of DR. Having access to lightning , there is a jutsu that gives you 30% reflect and 30% increase damage given, you can pair this with Inferno Cataclysm for a total of 70% damage returned, making it hard for the opponent to attack you. I would recommend using a stun jutsu, here we have the option for Lightning element jutsu, Chakra Resonance or the only 40ap jutsu that stuns, Echoing rift ( this comes with an aftereffect of 15% afterburn damage taken). For offensive options, we have chakra overflow ( 35 35 IDG IDG) , this is the main damage booster. Lifesteal is an important tag and should be in every loadout no matter what. We have the option of Eclipse Drain( this is a selfbuff) and Crimson vein( this is a split tag, buff applied to you, debuff applied for opponent). We also have the 60AP elemental jutsu that gives lifesteal. Having Lightning element gives you the possibility of bringing PIERCE jutsu into the loadout, that deals static damage to the opponent, no matter what buffs/debuffs are applied. This can also break shields, which helps in different situations. As some final notes, Bakuhatsu is able to apply a lot of pressure with Charge 4 Explosion, combined with Howitzer Crash, moving close to the opponent preparing a powerfull attack for the next round. As is capable in the offensive department, it s very capable of disengage too with Blast Shield and Inferno Cataclysm. Make sure you do not waste your Blast Shield, use it when the opponent is buffing himself for a big hit, also make sure to pair the blast shield with some more DR for negating the incoming damage.
