Ninja Single Target DPS Rotation - Early Attempts

[JakzChurchill]

Looks good except for kassatsu, which only makes ninjutsu crit so would be best used directly before raiton, this also gets the most efficiency out of it. I would of thought that anyway.

Since being detected breaks stealth, and certain enemies have special sight, I doubt opening Hide-> TA will be optimal, but if TA is wanted/needed for an opening, it would be Suiton -> TA.

Interested to know how

Trick Attack, Sneak Attack and Shukuchi will work since one of the Mudra buffs let's you use those skills outside of Hiding.

i.e. Trick Attack -> Perfect Dodge -> Blink to Front -> Sneak Attack

Sneak Attack and Trick Attack share cooldown so cant do that.
Its one or the other.

@Judge_Xero you're on the right track except for what Fue said. Also, keep in mind the Trick Attack's 10s damage buff benefits the entire party, so it would actually be superior to Sneak Attack. That being said, you wouldn't really need to Sneak Attack -> Shikuchi, unless the enemy was low on HP. In that case, you could do something like Perfect Dodge -> Move to Front -> Sneak Attack ->Shikuchi -> Assassinate. I still think that Trick Attack is the safer option, but teleporting adds tons of fun factor :-)

Does the 10% damage buff could benefit Limit Break ?

Don't forget that Kassatsu also resets the cooldown timer for Ninjutsu.

Thanks for the reply. I missed that part about Trick/Sneak Attack. Guess I skimmed the notes too quick.

Mostly just saw 400 Potency F-Yeah, 500 Potency, Oh baby.

Yeah I meant that in regards of not criting anything other than Jutsu. I get the feeling if you pop TA and Kraiton that early into the fight aswell your gonna be taking hate off the tank, it's an insane amount of burst damage with no way of removing the enmity gains.

Good point. So maybe it would make more sense to let Ninjutsu cooldown on its own after the initial Huton, then maybe use Kassatsu after the first Raiton for double Raiton. Then, by the time the second natural cooldown wears off, it'll be close to time to refresh Huton. Too lazy to write out the timing for rotation, but I think you get the general idea.
