This happens to me when the server is lagging and the enemy presses their skill when it's their barrier ninja's turn. Really *s but don't think oasis can do much about it.

I think this is because of really good timing, as opposed to a bug. If you noticed, Gaara does the same thing before he either attacks or uses his mystery - he uses his sand shield first. I suppose that acts as a bait, letting you think he's prepping for a standard, which allows him that window to use his mystery instantly should you be non-the-wiser. Though, this is a theory.

Yeah sure, it's 100% a bug, even instant mysteries that you can do first depending on your initiative show the action over their head.

You have to understand this is not a [Prompt] mystery, but with the bug it's faster than one, nobody even does all their standards and he does it instantly, over your instant barrier.

But I understand, maybe you use Gaara and take his side, cause there's no other logical reason why you would say it's not a bug.

What's with all the passive-aggressive statements? I doubt his mystery will trigger without the other ninjas attacking, unless he has high initiative and his gaara is position 1. Since his mystery triggers during his turn of action, many people who uses barrier ninjas will time it right when his turn begins.

For example, Gaara will move after the the enemy's lightning main attack. After your opponent sees the lightning main attacks, he queues the mystery immediately right before Gaara's turn triggers. It sends the information to the game server blah blah blah and before you can react to the symbol on his head appearing after the server sends the information to you, Gaara's turn already triggered and his barrier goes active.

Prompt mysteries are instant, Barrier mysteries are not prompt and are the last action of each round, you can have 1000000 initiative, Gaara's and Sasuke's mystery will and should always be last action of the round, if not, think about Gaara vs Gaara, you say the guy with the most initiative does barrier first, then the guy with less will have barrier standing. Does that make any sense?

I want to see this fixed, it's gamebreaking when the bug triggers and makes good ninjas barrier's like Mei, Danzo, useless, which shouldn't be the case against these outdated ninjas, makes all interrupt mysteries useless too btw, literally the only reason you have interrupt mystery is for those pesky barriers.

It's bad enough they can spam that skill while instant barrier ninjas lose it forever.

But ok, let's say it's prompt like you said, then at least show the action above his head so I can interrupt the thing if I have more initiative!

Or just throw barriers away altogether and give buff instead.

Non-prompt mystery means it is casted when it's that certain ninja turn to attack with standard move - that is determinated by position of that ninja in team- number shown above the ninjas heads while you set up your lineup. That doesn't mean it is the last action of the round. And if someone can time it perfectly and/or get a bit of "help" from the side of lag between players- he c*e the mystery just in perfect time of certain ninja time to attack so the icon wont even show to you or will show for so short you wont even have time to react. It's not bug but more of great timing and sometimes lag.

You can still block it when your timing and predictions of actions of your opponent are also great- let's say he have Gaara on move 2 position. His ninja on position 1 did his standard, then your on position 1 do his. Now it will be time for Gaara to use standard and if you cast Iruka, for example, then you might just be in right time to block his mystery- but if you will wait for the icon to show- then you wont make it if your opponent click it just in that right moment.

And again- non-prompt doesnt mean it will be last action of the round. If said opponent would click Gaara's mystery on start of round- but his Gaara is on position 2, 3 or 4 to move- then you have all the time in the world to block it, because he will use it only at his turn to move.

Also, if you click on mystery that is non-prompt after that ninja, ex. Gaara did his standard attack already- then that mystery will be casted in next round when it's his time for standard again.

You are operating under a misconception, that the icon exists as a "interrupt me" notification. That's not what it is. It is an icon for QUEUED mystery.

And by queued I mean something that will not be resolved immediately.

Fact of the matter is, the server does NOT wait for you to act against any queued action. queues are resolved ASAP.

Now, when the queue is made during another action (especially during a long animation like during a chase chain) or it's not the correct "turn" for it to resolve, it cannot resolve immediately, so the icon stays around and give you time to interrupt.

But if the queue is made right before the action can be made, it is resolved immediately and you won't have a chance to interrupt.

The only difference between prompt and non-prompt for this is that prompt may be resolved between any action whereas non-prompt can only resolve at a specific moment in time. Therefore, it might not get to resolve until other actions have taken place.

This fact in and of itself is not related to lag.

It's also not a bug, thou potentially a design flaw as interrupt/CC are meh as a result. There are ways to improve the design but that requires serious change to battle mechanic.

The problem of lag is a different issue altogether, That's a matter of server state, specifically when you are behind the server so whatever you see at the time have already happened and whatever you order will only happen sometime later. I don't think that's your point of complaint here.

To be honest I kind of noticed when you do the barrier skill the ninja doesn't do his standard anymore, kind of hoping it was a bug and not like this. If they put the barrier ninja first and do the mystery your instant barrier lives about... 5 seconds? lol

Well, gotta wait till new ninjas appear so I have more options and throw away barrier ninjas altogether, instant or not.

You can make any mystery uninterruptable by simply using them a millisecond before the next standard attack. This works also for non prompt move mysteries if you are able to get the right timing before the ninja standard attack that should be replaced by it. Btw, if your enemy used bee sst mystery on gaara you couldn't interrupt him the same with iruka, even if you could see the icon.

Oh I see, so that's why Hashirama was immune to interrupt when I fought him in arena.

That assumption was weird, but alright. I don't use Gaara much, if not at all. I tossed in my personal take on the subject, as I said prior - I assume this stems from his personal mechanics.

I don't care what anybody says, nerf this character, he was literally only one standing and almost killed me... Way too OP price per power, is literally better than Minato.

To do that much damage and nearly kill all my team in 1 hit? Immune to combo (in the anime he got combo'ed so hard by Lee he could barely walk lol)? Instant mystery barrier overriding mine that can't even be interrupted 90% of the time?

this is cheap

I can't think of 1 single ninja that needs nerf more than this guy(maybe sailor sakura), he is super rare level for 5 dollars, even I have him.

I don't mind losing to creative teams with good ninjas, but losing vs broken ninjas that are twice as good they should be? Losing vs cancer healer teams? That's bad, and it is bad for the game as well.

offtopic: Look at the anime the fights were dynamic, I can't think of one single healer who had interesting fights or was strong in the anime, but here you have 10 round fights where 10k less power than you wins because they outheal and poison you, there is one word for that and it is broken.

I watched space-time, you can have 8000 $ ninja Susano'o Itachi paired with the best team for him, 30000 more power and still lose to kabuto paired with sailor and azure fang. Tell me, how is that fair? How is that fun? How does that make any sense? Cause I don't want to play with those teams does that mean I should lose?

I think you're reacting to this a bit too hasty, he's easy to stop. You don't have to use someone who has an interupt, there's many other ninja who can do the same job if not better. It's all about using a form of strategy. I've beaten plenty of Gaara's. He's strong, yeah - but comparing him to Minato seems a bit off.

I said price per power better than Minato, Gaara being 5 $ and giving me more trouble than ~300$ Minato, I literally have a better win ratio against Minato than Gaara.

And yea, I use Iruka for 3 reasons, 1. buff, 2. interrupt barriers, 3. being tanky and dodging mysteries. There may be better choices against barrier ninjas that's true, like accupuncture, control, whatever, but in the end having Iruka still gives more chance for win because of the buff.

He's extremely overreacting. Not understanding Gaara's inherent weaknesses.

Luka hit the nail with his/her explanation.

It's a matter of lag, Simply put, your reaction base isn't faster than your opponent queuing their "nonprompt" right before they do their standard based.

As for everything else, It's not important.

Additionally, Gaara will receive buffs in the future due to his inconsistent nature, in the form of Skillbooks.

And judging from your reaction towards him, you're definitely not gonna like it.
