WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
THIS CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS ABOUT THE CURRENT KAGUYA BLOODLINE, AS WELL AS THE FUTURE ONE IF MY IDEAS ARE USED.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
After being reborn 2 times as a Kaguya and trying out the techniques.....I have to admit that I wasn't satisfied. Not only because most of the techniques are practically useless (minimal bonuses for far too much chakra), but because they haven't captured the feel of the show. Neither the nature.
Everything that was just said, as well as everything that will be written down from now on, are my own humble opinion. This is merely a suggestion in order to improve the bloodline itself.
First of all, about the first 3 dances:
Tsubaki no Mai, Karamatsu no Mai, Yanagi no Mai
Out of them, the only useful one is Karamatsu no Mai. Why?
Tsubaki no Mai: about 33% attack boost for 10 turns for 5 chakra points. Useful? I think not.
Karamatsu no Mai: About 50% defense boost for 12 turns for 5 chakra. Decent, good for bosses, but I think my view of it will be better.
Yanagi no Mai: The most useless dance of all. Just one strike of mediocre damage for.....what, 10 turns? And it costs 15 chakra! Why would I spend 15 chakra on this one?! A Hosenka, which is always available for Uchiha Reborn would probably do more damage for only 1/5 of chakra cost at any level!
And now the others:
Hessendan: Good damage for a few turns. But I think it's not like the actual Hessendan.
Tessenka no Mai, Tsuru: Immobilizes the opponent for 6 turns. Would be pretty nice if it didn't cost 18 chakra points! Far too expensive.
Tessenka no Mai, Hanna: A downright mediocre strike, only one, for 6 turns. And it costs 21 chakra. No need to say just what I'm gonna do with that.
Sharingan no Mai: This one is pretty good. No further comment.
Sawarabi no Mai: ......The only technique that's WORTH IT!!!! IT'S PURE AWESOMENESS!!! Massive damage, can hit up to four targets at once! But, 25 chakra is a bit much I think. No worries though, one small change can even it out.
So....here are my suggestions:
About the first three dances. Unlike the other ones, these dances aren't attacks, or combos that could end. They were stances, battle styles. So, here is my suggestion:
Make them cost 5 chakra each. And make them provide a permanent boost to attack and/or defense!
So here we have:
Tsubaki no Mai: From what we have seen at the show, this dance is all about offense. Attack fast, attack hard. So, make it provide a permanent attack boost! 33% (or 25%) for the first reborn and 50% (or 33%) for the second would be ok I think. (pick whichever choice you think would be more fair)
Karamatsu no Mai: Defense, defense, defense. It practically makes the user impervious to most taijutsu attacks. So, no surprise there: defense boost! 33% (25%) for the first reborn and 50% (33%) for the second.
Yanagi no Mai: This is the most acrobatic dance. You jump, you twist, you flip, and attack at every angle around you. So here you have it! A dance between Tsubaki and Karamatsu. It will provide both attack and defense boosts! 25% (20%) of attack and defense for the first and 33% (25%) for the second.
After looking at that, you would think that "Hey, that's too strong!", but no! Just like the show, you can have only one dance active at a time, and switching dances will always cost chakra! So here is the dilemma:
When to go for defense?
When for attack?
When for balance?
Should I switch now, or conserve my chakra?
The players will have to think ahead, so they won't waste all of their chakra at once. Also, it will put it at odds with the other taijutsu bloodline, the Hachimon. Explosive buffs for a short amount of time? Or mediocre buffs for a long time?
And, as for the other dances:
Sharingan no Mai: It will turn off the current dance. And the dance will not come back after this dance has ended. (and it should be the same for any other dance....like, if there is a Jyuuken/Byakugan Dance, I dunno)
Hessendan: As nice as this is, I don't think that it is what the Hessendan of the show was. This, this is like turning yourself into the Terminator and firing your machine-gun for a long amount of time. That's not what Hessendan is.
Hessendan is one single volley of finger bullets. Like throwing shuriken. So this is what I think:
It will cost only one chakra point....but it will last only one turn! It will do 10 strikes like now (one for each finger), for one turn. Also, it will be the only technique that will NOT cut off the other dances. You people work out the damage. Nothing extraordinary, nothing too weak. It will be an add-up on the damage.
Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru and Hanna: I believe that the techniques themselves are far too expensive. And why is that? Because they were meant to be used together!
So here is what I suggest:
First, boost the attack power of Hanna. A lot. 75 damage at 79 Oro kills at lvl 15 isn't good enough for anything, even if it was without Tsuru. Hanna is a HUGE drill! I'm pretty sure it would hurt more than that (even Hosenka does more damage at that point!)
Then, dum down the chakra costs: Tsuru will be 10 chakra points, and will have the same effects. And Hanna should do more damage when Tsuru is active (for example, if Hanna would do....100 point of damage alone, with Tsuru it should do 200 damage or something).
Quite naturally, Tsuru will end all dances before it....but Hanna will not end Tsuru (and only Tsuru. Is that possible?).
And Hanna's chakra cost should be...I don't know, 10-15 chakra points. Anyways, together they should not go beyond 25 chakra points.
And finally......Sawarabi no Mai. This.....this one is worth everything. Seriously. Buuut, after seeing the anime.....I think that it would do more than hit 4 opponents, like a Kamaitachi. How about make it hit 8 opponents at the same time? Other than that, it's more than fine just as it is.
Anyways, that is all. Anyone is free to reply and post his/her own suggestions.
But, even if I've described the effects of every technique, I believe it would be better if other Kaguya reborns who have used the dances and have formed an opinion were the ones who posted.
That is all. Thank you for bearing this until the end.
