NIN Merits 2026

[Alhanelem]

A common tactic with the elemenal ninjutsu is to "spin the wheel." That is, you cast them in the order of the elements. Each elemental ninjutsu lowers the target's resistance to the next element in the cycle. This is also just more effective for ninjutsu than black magic because all the elemental ninjutsu of the same tier have the same potency, unlike black magic where spells are learned at different levels and have different base damage

Ice > Fire > Water > Lightning > Earth > Wind > Ice

or in ninjutsu

Hyoton > Katon > Suiton > Raiton > Doton > Huton > Hyoton

This seems like reverse order but basically when you hit with one element you're aligning the target with that element, making it weaker to the next one in the chain. (This is specific to the elemental ninjutsu you don't do this with black magic)
