Itachi | Selected characters - hints Naruto Shippuden: UNS 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Because of his awakening and Ultimate Jutsu, which both work only at very short distance, Itachi fights at close quarters.

You should keep in mind that the character is not fit for ranged combat. True, one variation can project fireballs at an average distance, however, this works best in situations when an opponent is trying to keep you at bay, while you want to knock him down and get close to him.

His clear advantage is the awakening, which looks the same in all three forms. This is an orange Susano who performs really powerful sword strikes. You also get a bonus to range of basic attacks.

During combat remember to use your Ultimate. This is quite easy to perform, since, in spite of its short range, it is very quick. Usually, after a series of strikes your enemy fails to block this attack in time, so his only chance is to sacrifice a dodge.
