Susano'o
The Mangekyou Sharingan's chakra avatar. It greatly boosts your survivability and striking power, but costs a lot of chakra to keep up.
- Activate: press Ctrl + G while your Mangekyou is active.
- Next stage: press Ctrl + G again to go up a stage. Past your highest unlocked stage it turns off.
- Pick a stage: Ctrl + G + Up / Down steps between your unlocked stages.
- Look: your Susano'o matches your Mangekyou (Itachi, Sasuke, Madara, Izuna, Indra, Sarada...).
Stages
| Stage | Name | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ribcage | Awaken the Mangekyou. A defensive barrier that cuts the damage you take |
| 2 | Skeletal | Mangekyou level 2 (12h active) |
| 3 | Humanoid | Mangekyou level 3 (48h active) |
| 4 | Armored | Own the Eternal Mangekyou |

Stages 2 and 3 come with the Mangekyou's overuse side effects until you reach the Eternal Mangekyou (see Sharingan & Mangekyou).
Auto and Control (Skeletal, Humanoid, Armored)
These stages have two modes. Swap between them with Susano'o Mode, always the last slot of your jutsu bar.
- Auto (default): the Susano'o fights on its own. It goes after enemies, other players and anything attacking you, picks its own moves and raises its guard when you're hit. It paces itself: after each move it waits 3 seconds before the next, and its moves take twice as long to come back as when you cast them. It never attacks your party, your Organization or your allies, and with PvP off it leaves players alone.
- Control: the stage's moves go on your jutsu bar and you cast them yourself. The camera switches to the Susano'o view.
| Stage | Moves |
|---|---|
| Skeletal | Fist Slam, Grab & Crush |
| Humanoid | Chakra Arrow, Charged Arrow (bigger, pierces everyone in its path and bursts) |
| Armored | Blade Slash, Return Slash, Overhead Cleave, Blade Combo |
The Ribcage has no moves.
Perfect Susano'o
The Perfect Susano'o is fused with you. It has no Auto mode: it follows you.
- You ride in its head and it flies.
- Your swings make it slash (sweeping and vertical cuts in turn).
- Your jutsu leave from your own eyes, and casting one plays its hand signs on the Susano'o.
- Bar moves: Sweeping Slash, Heaven Splitter, Spinning Slash, Titan Stomp, War Cry.
Susano'o health
Your Susano'o has its own health, shown as a purple bar at the top of the screen.
- While it stands, hits from enemies and projectiles land on the Susano'o instead of you. Falls, fire and drowning still reach you.
- Each stage has its own health, based on your max HP: Ribcage 0.6x, Skeletal 1x, Humanoid 1.5x, Armored 2x, Perfect 3x.
- A stage that isn't hit for 5 seconds regenerates 3% of its health per second, even while the Susano'o is off. Switching stages doesn't refill it.
- When its health runs out it shatters: you take what's left of the blow, and that stage can't be called again for a while. Your other stages stay available.
| Stage | Recovery after shattering |
|---|---|
| Ribcage | 30s |
| Skeletal | 1 min |
| Humanoid | 1.5 min |
| Armored | 2 min |
| Perfect | 3 min |
Camera
The Susano'o plays in third person. First person is still available with F5 while it's up. Taking control switches to the Susano'o camera, and leaving Control gives you back the camera you had. Taking the Susano'o off in first person returns you to third person.
