Tobi/Masked Man | Selected characters - hints Naruto Shippuden: UNS 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

If you want to play as Tobi, first you should be able to recognize three variations of the character. The first one is the Masked Man who wears a bright orange mask. This character fights mostly at close quarters.

His ninjutsu makes him move behind his opponent and drop some explosives, which burst upon hitting the target. You may use that move to get close to an opponent.

In his Ultimate, he dashes toward an enemy and grabs him. This does not take much time, so it can be performed in hand to hand combat.

An important feature is his awakening, which enables him to be invulnerable to damage for a short time. The effect turns off when the Masked Man resumes the attack.

In another variation Tobi wears a white mask. Owing to his ninjutsu this character should be used for ranged combat. This is because his basic jutsu casts three fire whirlwinds at an opponent even at a very long distance. Additionally, in the awakening mode he gets two jutsus, which projectis two fireballs at an enemy.

If an opponent is getting closer, you might want to use Ultimate. This has a short range, so you need to provoke an enemy to run into the trap.

Tobi's last variation is the one with an orange mask and bombs-based jutsu.

This character offers an interesting gameplay, as he uses ninjutsu to get close to an opponent. If he successfully gets to them, he moves behind their back. This means he can quickly perform a strike at a close distance as soon as the opponent gets up. A big advantage of Tobi's ninjutsu is its speed - he moves toward an enemy and drops a bomb in just a second, which makes it hard to avoid.

This is best used several times in a row, in order to create a minefield. When an enemy walks into such bomb, they get kicked back.

If you do not feel comfortable with this tactics and you have already lost a half of your health, you can enter awakening mode in which the ninjutsu changes - instead of bombs it projectis fireballs. Additionally, that increases the character's speed.
