Fuuma Wind Shuriken and Kunai Clone

[stuck grove]

It would be nice to see these universal jutsu get a buff since compared to other universal jutsu they are not really used that much.

Fuuma Wind Shuriken- stun on enemy changed from 1 second to 2 seconds, selfstun changed from 2 seconds to 1 second (the jutsu has a long cast time and a very distinct animation so it would be nice if it was less punishing to cast and more rewarding to land)

Kunai Clone- instead of scaling only with STR it should scale with all of the offensive stats (STR/AGI/INT)
-the jutsu should cost 1 kunai to cast, but the range of the jutsu should be buffed to 20 tiles (which is the range of tools)

[sullen rapids]

the kunai clone does have an increasing range with level, would you fix it to 20 tiles from lvl 1?

[stuck grove]

well it can increase with level but I think it would be a cool universal jutsu to have

u throw three tools at cost of one but they do lower damage than when u throw 1 tool

[sullen rapids]

it is a cool jutsu to have, loved it when I had it T-T
it has like 4 - 6 - 8 tiles range per level, and max level has bleed I
even when using plenty of str (enough for kyuketsuki), it did feel a bit weak in comparison to similar jutsu (triple fire balls / water bullets), since it scales to like 30% of str like the str wm jutsu, but doesn't add the weapon dmg bonus
not sure if and how multiple scaling would work, but it could use more scaling even with str alone imo

Would be nice to make fuuma 1 second cast at max but any sort of power like suggested would be best left up to new T2/T3 jutsus over buffing T1 universals that have no requirements other than level

[sullen rapids]

yeah, fuuma doesn't have any neat lvl up bonus, at most +2 or so more dmg

[crisp violet]

Kunai Clone also has a bleed effect on it already with decent range and speed on a 3 wide cast. its really good for a T1 as is

[sullen rapids]

my only real beef with it is the dmg scaling being low as if it was supposed to add the weapon base damage as well, but it doesn't T-T
not sure if it should be like 60% of str or if it should be like it is rn and add the weapon dmg, that could become OP with arc 50 swords

[crisp violet]

60% scaling on a str universal jutsu leads it to just being overwelming source of dmg for STR classes which already have strong melees and are intentionally left nerfed in the jutsu damage department because of that

I'd say if we are looking for higher damage in jutsus then look to higher tiers, afterall both of these are tier 1s

[sullen rapids]

I just noticed they are, like, the only 2 basic jutsu that deal damage, besides chakra seal
maybe the way to make these more used is to revamp their utility for them to have more use then?

[crisp violet]

way you make them more utilized is increasing jutsu slots, majority of players don't use them because they can't

Cloak, Sub, Flicker, Flash Flicker are essentially mandatory
most masteries have 6 jutsus so if you have two masteries which most people do thats 16/17 slots already taken
then some may want a summon which is 17/17 or maybe you are hybrid so you took an extra jutsu from a subpath so thats 17/17

zero room for these universals for most

only people who can utilize them are those that are only utilizing half of one of their kits or are pure into 1 mastery or just never wanted a summoning technique

[sullen rapids]

thing is, there have been quite a few suggestions for more slots, not only I consider that a better option and I'd also love to have more of them as well, but hope is waning a bit :c

[crisp violet]

most likely any further jutsu slots will be level gatekept or potentially locked behind future questlines

with the current pacing of increasing slots and rory confirming he only wanted to cap at lvl100 if the project is ever finished then we still have 14 unused slots that can't be unlocked at 100 in the current UI

I don't think it's bad to buff these T1 universal jutsu
