Barracuda's Sacred Texts

1. Light Offensive Technique || Phantom Rush
Learned long ago, when Barracuda began his escapades as a bounty hunter, the Phantom Rush is an artful flurry of punches and kicks intertwined with ki, supported by his sword which levitates and completes the graceful barrage.
Power: 20 %
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Bleed

2. Light Offensive Technique || Soulrift Torneada

Pressing his blade in a blocking form against his opponent’s blade or body, Barracuda uses the position as leverage to spin himself along, creating momentum. By the time he reaches the end of the spin, he creates an opening to stab or slice the opponent directly in the sternum.
Power: 20%

KP Cost: 1 KP

3. Medium Offensive Technique || Shadow Of Light (Dojo Coupon)
After pantomiming a Gemoonian sigil with his hand movements, Barracuda creates a glowing doppelgänger of himself made of pure, blazing, luminous energy. This Shadow of Light unleashes sword attacks, as well as graceful elbow and knee strikes upon the target before engulfing them completely and imploding.
Power: 50%
Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Piercing

4. Medium Offensive Technique || Stardust Prisma (Dojo Coupon)

Barracuda attacks his enemy with a quick flurry of punches to the stomach and a strike to the third eye before flipping over them gracefully to question-mark kick them away, creating distance. From there, he raises his arms and begins to charge a kaleidoscopic, fluorescent sphere of energy surrounded by a black ring. After a loud battle-cry, he launches it towards the opponent, eventually submerging them in a burning prismatic flash of purification.

Power: 40%

Cost: 2 KP

5. Medium Defense Technique || Mikael’s Prayer
Barracuda surrounds himself with anywhere between 20 and 50 swords of ultraviolet ki that first rotate in various directions. They eventually converge and create an energy barrier, rendering the target shielded.
Power: 30 %
KP Cost: 3 KP
Variants: Reflective

6. Special Defensive Technique || Vacuum Portal - (Kinetic Genetics)
Barracuda uses ancient Gemoonian mudras to envelop his aura with a void of crystal infused ki energy, warding off enemy attacks.
Power: 30%
KP Cost: 0 KP - Usable once per thread.
Variants: Absorber: If the barrier remains unbroken, Barracuda gains 1 KP.

7. Heavy Offensive Technique || Ivory Rainfall
After uttering a Gemoonian chant, usually while landing a combination of elbows to stun his adversary, Barracuda begins to circle his opponent numerous times. Conjuring cyclone-like ribbons of ki that eventually crystallize and break into shards, he assaults the target mercilessly with energy that can only be described as made from the shadows.
Power: 70%
Cost: 4 KP.

8. Heavy Defensive Technique || Shinju Kotaku
Glowing a lustrous shimmer, Barracuda conjures an optical illusory halo, similar to that of a paraselene. It can absorb damage, and the refracted gleam is disorienting -- making him much harder to attack.
Power: 50%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Sustained

9. SPARKING Heavy Offensive Technique || Lightmare
Barracuda simultaneously shoots seven iridescent zero-point-energy infused ki blasts at hyperspeed towards the enemy, representing the seven chakras. Once they intersect with the target’s energy field, and even moreso once they land upon the target — they not only intensely burn and cause incredible physical damage, it's rumored that if the opponent is mentally vulnerable enough, the Lightmare brings forth their fears and deepest traumas, overloading their nervous system.
Power: 110%
KP Cost: 5 KP
Variants: Overflowing

10. Support Technique || The Great Central Sun
Barracuda releases a blinding flash of light, replicating the sun's rays. This allows him to attempt to escape any thread or travel between splits in an Action Thread more safely. In order to stop him, a player must use an attack that is superior in power to The Great Central Sun. He cannot undo his escape via Great Central Sun if are successful, but you can use KP to defend if it is overcome.
Power: 60%
KP Cost: 2 KP
