How to Read This Guide

Let’s say you encounter an effect in Ninja Saga, and you have no idea what it does.

1. Find the effect name. All of the effects are categorized in alphabetical
order.

2. Determine whether the effect is a “Buff” or a “Debuff” effect. The effects are also categorized into “Buff” and “Debuff” effects. If there is no categorization, it means that the particular heading is a Jutsu itself. The effect of that Jutsu, if you look at the “See ____” note, will be categorized appropriately.

3. Read the description to find out the meaning of the effect. Pretty self-explanatory.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Legend

1. Buff ~ Any effect or event that increases a target’s stats, or somehow boosts the target in a positive manner, either way making the character stronger in some shape or form. Eg: Evasion, Hidden Among Rocks, and Water Renewal all buff the target.

2. Debuff ~ Any effect or event that decreases a target’s stats, or somehow puts down the target in negative manner, either way making the character weaker in some shape or form. Eg: Fat Woman Transformation, Spirit Touch, and Feather Illusion all debuff the target.

3. AoE ~ Stands for “Area of Effect”. Any effect or event that either positively or negatively affects more than one target. An negative AoE could be a Jutsu that hits all the members of the opposing team. A positive AoE could be a skill that boosts the attack power of your whole team.

4. A symbol next to an effect name means that particular effect can only be caused by a Talent.

given to the caster.

Blaze (Debuff)

Acts exactly like Burn and Poison. The target under Blaze will take a set amount of damage based on percentage of the target’s total HP.

**This damage is not affected by the victim’s defenses. Here’s an
example:

were to cast a defensive buff, such as Golem Protection, the Blaze
would still do 200 damage.

Bleeding (Debuff)

A target under Bleeding will take a certain percentage of more damage
from oncoming attacks.

Eg: A Jutsu normally does 100dmg on an enemy. That enemy falls under a
Bleeding of 10%, and is attacked by that Jutsu again. That Jutsu will
now do about 110dmg.

Blind (Debuff)

A target under Blind may take actions as it normally could. However,
so long as the target remains under Blind, it’s attacks have a greater
chance than normal of missing.

Bloodfeed (Buff)

I know I don’t post weapon effects here, but Bloodfeed is one-of-a-kind (for now), and players might not know what the effect does when it *** on the field of battle. So here it is:

example:

An opponent takes 200 damage from a 5% Burn. Even if the opponent
were to cast a defensive buff, such as Golem Protection, the Burn
would still do 200 damage.

Calm (Debuff)

The afflicted target will have all positive effects (i.e: Fire Power, Evasion) removed.

party (including your pet) will only take offensive action on the non-

Stun (Debuff)

The most commonly displayed status aliment in the game, a stunned
target cannot take any action whatsoever.

**Unlike Sleep, a stunned target can be attacked without causing the
target to recover from Stun.

**Just because a Jutsu such as Fat Woman Transformation (lol) says it
stuns for two turns; it doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t stun for
one turn. Be prepared and ready to adapt if this happens.

Taijutsu Strengthen (Buff)

See Extreme Mode

Titan Mode (Buff)

Immediately after a player with Titan Mode attacks another in any way (The attack does not have to deal damage), a Titan from the user’s chakra will attack the target, possibly stunning the target. If the Titan Mode player does not attack, the Titan will not as well.

**Caused by Mirror of Strength. The Titan will deal damage based on the user’s level. Has a very low chance of stunning he target; 10% at max level.

Vampire Bite (Debuff)

Contrary to popular belief (I’ve always wanted to use that expression XD), this attack does not drain the victim’s HP and given to the attacker. The damage you take will be a double of the damage that appears on the screen, which means instead of draining the HP to itself, the attacker will inflict that damage upon you again.

Eg: The damage on the screen you took from Vampire Bite appears as 200. Your character will actually take 400.

Currently, it is impossible for us players to cast this effect, and only Ginkotsu, the C-Rank World Boss, has Vampire Bite, and is the only NPC/Boss in the game who does have it.

Thanks to Mei for clearing this up. o/o

Wake Up

As its name suggests, this effect is displayed when Sleep is lifted from a character. (Used to be known as “Sleep Faded”) Not really an effect per se, but worth mentioning.

Water Renewal (Buff)

See Recovery

Weaken (Debuff)

There are two types of Weaken. One of them is explained here:

The target under Weaken will still be able to take action, but any attack dealt by the target will deal zero (0) damage until the effect wears off.

*The other kind of Weaken simply reduces a target’s attack strength. See Fear (Weaken)
