- โ Requires no hand seals and can be performed quickly -
- โ If manipulated to create small HOLes, the user can be aware of whats going on the battlefield -

- โ Leaves no room for offense -

Combinations-strategies
Since this technique is used for defense, there really isnโt much opportunity for combos. If against a stronger opponent and needing the time for a breather, I could use hidden in the mist technique then this technique to hide and protect myself while I come up with a gameplan. If on the defense, I could also summon a shadow clone and have him deal with my opponent while I recover in the shelter. If I have a partner on the battlefield who is taking damage, I could use this technique to protect them.
Ways to counter this technique
If I want to break the defense, I could use a strong enough lightning surge technique or the lightning needle attack and maybe the chidori to break through the shelter. Perhaps using a strong enough fire technique can make the technique trap my opponent instead of protecting him.
Questions
How long would it take to โdeadtivate this techniqueโ? I would assume against an aggressive opponent that if this technique takes awhile to cancel out of, the technique can backfire.
(Doton: Iwa Enchou no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Dome Technique
Strong points
- โ Technique requires no hand seals and can be used for defensive purposes -
- โ Is large in width, capable of defending against wide scale attacks -
- - Insert info -
Weak points
- โ Only covers the users frontal area, leaving their back open -
- โ Not very large in height so an attack that strikes from above or can be controlled leave the opponent vulnerable -
- - Insert info -
Combinations-strategies
Another defensive jutsu not leaving too much chances for a combo. I could perform this jutsu then while protected I could use a jutsu that doesnโt travel straight into the dome and that forms from either above, below, or behind my opponent so I can attack while protected. If in a tight area with my back against a wall, I could use this technique and have little worry about my opponent being able to use a jutsu to attack me from behind.
Ways to counter this technique
I could use the hiding like a mole technique to move underground and travel behind my opponent, then emerge from the ground and attack him from behind. Since the dome doesnโt cover that much height, a lightning technique that forms in the sky above that I could use to strike my opponent from the air would work. If I could manage to go vertical and gain a lot of air, I could rain down strong fireballs target at the shield. I could also summon a clone and have him move behind my opponent to attack his blind spot.
Questions
(Doton: Fukusuu no Dorosandan) - Earth Release: Multiple Mudshot Technique
Strong points
- โ Technique can be used to blind the opponent or make him slip -
- โ Requires no hand seals and can be followed up with another jutsu fast -
- โ Can shoot multiple shots and reach long range -
Weak points
- โ More shots fired, weaker they are -
- โ Projectile techniques can tend to be easy to evade -
- โ If spewed from mouth, the opponents back is open -
Combinations-strategies
A technique capable of blinding leaves room for many combinations, simply using this technique then following up with any jutsu is a combo. If my opponent likes to perform taijutsu, I could aim this technique at the ground to catch him off guard and cause him to slip where I could also then send jutsus. If my opponent is a quick at maneuvering, I could fire multiple shots in hopes that one will hit.
Ways to counter this technique
Once I see the mud coming at me, I could use the wind stream technique to move out of the way or an attack to shift me up into the air. I could send a large scale fire technique to overcome the mudshot as well as a strong enough sphere of lightning. If aimed at the ground, I could use a wide scale water technique that forms a wave that allows me to ride on top of it to quickly move away from the spot the mud land.
