Overview
The 1st Anniversary celebration introduces Kinjuutsu: Advanced Rasenken, a power‑boosted evolution of the original Kinjuutsu: Rasenken. The advanced form delivers higher base damage, improved scaling, and a visual upgrade that reflects its heightened potency. It is unlocked exclusively through Orochi’s Lab, available to all players on App Store, PlayStore, and Steam.
Unlocking the Base Jutsu
Before you can upgrade, you must possess the base Kinjuutsu: Rasenken. This jutsu is obtained from the standard jutsu rotation during regular missions or as a reward from anniversary event chests. Once in your inventory, it becomes eligible for the advanced transformation.
Upgrade Process – Step‑by‑Step
- Enter Orochi’s Lab – Open the Lab interface from the central hub town. The laboratory is marked by a stylized serpent emblem.
- Select the Jutsu – Locate Kinjuutsu: Rasenken in your inventory panel within the Lab screen.
- Choose “Upgrade to Advanced Rasenken” – A dedicated button appears when the base jutsu is selected.
- Review Materials – The upgrade preview lists every required component and the projected stat changes.
- Confirm the Upgrade – Click Confirm. The Lab consumes the listed items and transforms the jutsu instantly.
The upgrade follows the standard Lab workflow described in the broader Gameplay Systems Overview.
Required Materials
The upgrade screen lists specific items. While exact quantities vary by patch, typical requirements include:
- Rare Crafting Components – such as Celestial Shards or Ethereal Fibers obtained from high‑level missions.
- Event‑Specific Tokens – earned from anniversary challenges or purchased from the in‑game shop.
- Standard Resources – like Prime Parts that drop from regular combat runs.
All materials can be sourced from:
- Mission Drops – especially elite and boss encounters.
- Event Chests – anniversary or seasonal reward caches.
- In‑Game Shop – where tokens are sold for Platinum.
Ensure you have sufficient inventory space before initiating the upgrade.
Navigating Orochi’s Lab
Orochi’s Lab resides in the central hub town, accessible from any main menu. Look for the laboratory building bearing a serpent emblem; it is highlighted on the hub map. The Lab operates continuously across all platforms, with no downtime.
Quick Lab Tips
- Off‑Peak Hours – Visiting during low‑traffic periods reduces queue times in multiplayer sessions.
- Preview Stats – The Lab shows a side‑by‑side comparison of the base and advanced jutsu, helping you decide if the upgrade aligns with your build.
- Material Stockpile – Keep a buffer of rare components to avoid interruptions during future upgrades.
Advanced Strategies & Optimization
- Synergy with Damage‑Boost Builds – The advanced form’s higher scaling pairs well with relics that increase elemental damage.
- Combo Timing – Use the upgraded jutsu’s longer animation window to chain follow‑up abilities without losing momentum.
- Resource Management – Since the upgrade is a one‑time transformation, prioritize it after securing a stable supply of rare components.
