Skills

| Skill | What it does |

|:-|:-|

| Sage Mode (passive) | Up to 4 charges of natural energy, full every stage. Standing still meditates them back; hidden clones bring more. Every Frog Kumite blow that lands also gives a point of natural energy, with no limit: your next Sage Art spends them all. |

| Frog Kumite (primary) | A four-blow combo, a shadow clone joining in, and a finisher that knocks back. In the air, blows that keep you up; looking down, a diving Rasengan Barrage. |

| Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan (secondary) | Charge at the crosshair with a giant Rasengan that bursts and stuns. Tap it, or hold it to pour charges in: bigger and stronger. |

| Clone Catapult (utility) | Two clones throw you toward the crosshair; invulnerable for a moment, stunning nearby enemies. |

| Sage Art: Rasen-Shuriken (special) | A sphere of wind blades that pulls enemies in and bursts. Pour charges in to make it bigger. |

Six-Tails (X)

Fighting fills your fury. From a quarter of the gauge, press X to become the Six-Tails: more armor and speed, no stuns.

| Skill | What it does |

|:-|:-|

| Chakra Claws | Spring at the enemy and tear into it, ending in a slam. |

| Chakra Cannon | Three homing chakra blasts. |

| Rampage | Run with rage, trampling and stunning everything; press again to crash down. |

| Tailed Beast Ball | A huge explosion; hold to pour fury into it. |

Turn back with X and the fury left over becomes natural energy. Let it run out and you lose Sage Mode.

Exact numbers are in the game, in the character select's Skills tab.

Tips

  • Clone Catapult, then Big Ball Rasengan aimed down: a meteor onto the crowd.
  • Kumite builds the points, a Sage Art cashes them: alternate the two.
  • Chakra control: hold Jump against a wall to run on it.

Kizuna (co-op)

Play with a friend who picks Taka Sasuke or Minato: your pair gets a shared passive, and once per stage you can both press C together for a combined technique (a short cinematic finisher). The KIZUNA button in the character select shows every bond. Needs KizunaMod (installed automatically).

| Partner | Bond | Combined technique |

|:-|:-|:-|

| Taka Sasuke | Wind and Black Flames | Enton: Rasen-Shuriken |

| Minato | The Master's Formula | Hiraishin Rasen-Shuriken |

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
