Okay, what is unique about ronin, why ain't they the same as these samurai?

 

[Mudo]

Ronin are more attuned toward spiritual attacks than samurai, with their fighting style revolving around attacking either spiritual based targets or the soul of their opponents directly. This results in restricting proper chakra flow among other effects.

You can also sense spiritual being, but this doesn't give you a tracking boost. You have your own version of spiritual Aido too

So lets start with that:


( Seishin Iaidō ) – Art of the Spiritual Quick Draw
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A - Forbidden
Range: Short
Chakra: 30 - 50
Damage: N/A
Description: Spiritual Iaidō is unique to the form of Kenjutsu practiced by Rōnin. Like its physical counterpart, this is a method of quickly drawing a blade to strike opponents. This differs from the normal Iaido because it does not only aim to prevent hand seals from being created. Instead, the Spiritual Iaido aims to sever Spiritual connection, used through the formation of a spiritual blade comparable to Ronin Spiritual Blade, allowing the user to form a hilt and blade upon need for this technique. This also differs in their damage magnitudes; this variant does not deal damage, instead increasing in rank based on how much chakra it limits the opponent from utilizing due to a spiritual imbalance.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies. This technique can be used to interrupt techniques of 1 or more hand seals at any level, however the different level creates a different effect on targets. A rank prevents Forbidden ranked techniques, S rank prevents S rank and higher techniques while Forbidden ranked usage prevents enemies from making hand seals for any A rank and higher technique. Each of these effects last 1 turn.
Note: -Rank can be used thrice, and Forbidden rank can be used once.

This is a great way to even the playing field and setup the battle in your favor. It can prevent your opponent from using techniques of a certain rank depending on which rank you choose. I did want to ask, under the note, it says "-Rank" can only be used thrice, so I just wanted clarification on what rank it's referring to there. I assume S rank but just wanted to be sure.

Good catch, yeah it should be S rank. I'll add it to my list of jobs to fix.


( Rōnin Seishin Ken no Jutsu ) – Rōnin Spiritual Blade Technique
Type: Defensive/Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: B - S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 20 - 40
Damage: 40 - 80
Description: A technique unique to the Rōnin, utilizing similar principles to the Samurai Sabre. The user channels their chakra through their swords and extends the reach and binding ability of the blade. This creates a meter-long spiritual wispy effect around the blade, appearing as if the blade was steaming. Crescent arcs of almost pure spiritual energy are created through the user’s swings. This chakra plays neutrally against all natures and fields. When striking an enemy’s technique, it will target the balance of spiritual and physical energies, disrupting it and dissipating it harmlessly upon overpowering or neutralizing it.
Note: S ranked usage can be done 3 times a battle with a 1 turn cooldown in between usages.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.

Essentially a spiritual variation of the SS technique. In terms of the damage interaction this would have on another person, what would that look like? Just slashing damage?

Re read the technique and tell me what you think

 

[Mudo]

If it's extending the reach of the blade as described then I'll just assume the crescent arcs would cause slashing damage on physical contact with someone.

All ronin techs do spiritual damage so it wouldn't physically cause wounds but hurt their spirit.

( Fudōchi Shinmyōroku ) – The Unfettered Mind
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 ( -10 per turn )
Damage: N/A ( +30 to Rōnin Kenjutsu )
Description: Considered by many to be the Rōnin’s ultimate technique, as well as their answer to the Samurai’s Bushidō. The Rōnin will infuse their body and armor with their spiritual energy, granting them augmented abilities; it appears as an aura of purple energy. This infusion reduces the damage of all spiritual based attacks by 20. While active, the fortified spiritual energy prevents the Rōnin from falling under the influence of illusionary techniques, barring those augmented with Yin Release or cast by the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Rōnin’s Spiritual Kenjutsu are enhanced by 30 additional damage, and they become able to move three times faster than their base speed. Upon ending the Rōnin is unable to utilize Spiritual Iaido, as well as use Spiritual Kenjutsu higher than A-Rank for two turns. This technique lasts for 6 turns and can be used three times.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.

The Ronin's mode that helps them close the distance on shinobi and augment their spiritual capabilities, as well as bolstering their defenses against most illusions and spiritual based attacks. Has a very long usage duration and the drawbacks aren't too limiting; this is probably the technique that helps Ronin out the most when it comes to competing against higher level shinobi bios.

You missed the first technique.

The mode can be used to break a gen or as an instant boost in speed to avoid a technique too.

I should have said something in my other post, but we already covered that first technique previously. lol

My bad, a lot of training threads atm:


( Abunai Ashige ) – Dangerous Strike
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user will draw their sword and attack, forming an ethereal arm and sword around his own, comparable to that of Susano’o but much smaller and resembling the user’s own body. This allows the user’s physical arm to pass through the target but the spiritual arm will make contact, cutting through the spiritual energy of a technique or the soul of a target. Due to its purely spiritual nature, not unlike the Doki used by Tayuya, the ethereal sword separates the connection between technique and user. This allows him to sever the connection a spiritual technique has with its caster, effectively ending it. Against Spiritual techniques of equal chakra and lower, this allows the user to effectively end them early. Due to the severing of spiritual energy, the target will suffer spiritual damage as well.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies.
Note: Can be used three times per battle, once every two turns.

( Fudōchi Shinmyōroku: Taiaki ) – The Unfettered Mind: Annals of the Sword Taia
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 50 ( -20 per turn )
Damage: 90
Description: The user will draw their sword while The Unfettered Mind is active. Based on the Rōnin’s Dangerous Strike, the Annals of the Sword Taia forms a complete spiritual ethereal warrior around the user’s body, resembling their own form. This technique is much like Susano’o though with much smaller stature; the body of Taia is the expression of the ultimate spirit, capable of passing through physical targets that would otherwise obstruct a blade and directly strike at the spiritual energy of a technique or target to inflict its damage. In a sense, this technique is simply an extension of the aura formed during the Unfettered Mind. Taia lasts for the remainder of the duration of the Unfettered Mind, though while it is active the user is only able to perform Rōnin Kenjutsu and regular Kenjutsu through their ethereal guardian. Usable twice and lasts as long as the remaining time on Unfettered Mind; once this technique expires, the restrictions applied to Unfettered Mind will be extended one additional turn.
Note: Can only be used by Rōnin biographies after The Unfettered Mind has been activated.
Note: This technique can only be used twice and lasts as long as the Unfettered Mind lasts or up to 5 turns, whichever is shorter. This can be activated in the same timeframe of Unfettered Mind at the cost of a move per turn.
