Chakra Natures
Kakashi RPG uses the five basic elemental natures: Katon (Fire), Fūton (Wind), Raiton (Lightning), Doton (Earth) and Suiton (Water).
Your first nature is discovered through /chakra test. The test costs 20 chakra and can only be taken while you do not already know a basic nature. The first nature becomes your primary nature and stays primary even if you later unlock the other four.
Elemental cycle
| Nature | Strong against | Weak against |
|---|---|---|
| Katon | Fūton | Suiton |
| Fūton | Raiton | Katon |
| Raiton | Doton | Fūton |
| Doton | Suiton | Raiton |
| Suiton | Katon | Doton |
In standard combat, a favorable matchup contributes a 1.15× nature multiplier, an unfavorable one 0.90×, and a neutral matchup 1.00×. It is still only one part of the full damage calculation.
Unlocking more natures
After the first test, additional basic natures are unlocked with Keiraku. You choose a nature you do not know yet; the cost rises as your collection grows:
| New known nature | Keiraku cost |
|---|---|
| 2nd | 1 |
| 3rd | 2 |
| 4th | 4 |
| 5th | 7 |
Knowing an element does not automatically teach its jutsus. It gives you the affinity needed by techniques/builds that care about that nature; the technique itself still follows discovery and learning rules.
