So, I'd initially planned on writing up several combat plans, but this takes a stupid amount of time, so I'm not gonna. Feel free to modify this plan if you want, or make your own. It takes stupid amounts of time to optimally design combat strategies given the sheer quantity of things that Hazou and Team Uplift have access to, and trying to balance orders with loyalty levels.
[X] Action Plan: Strong Defense
The goal is to repel this attack, demonstrating Leaf's superiority, as will be clearly seen by all genin by the excessive number of noise we make, followed by continuing the regular explosives. We also use the fact we have four directions (presumably) to defend against and four Leaf teams - just let the teams stick with what they know (after providing adequate preparation time for some help.
Initial operations:
Goal: Set up Air Dome to buy time to prep (for Uplift and others), use an implosion seal to clear some Mist, use a Banshee seal to disorient enemy (and possibly cause combat debuff), use an Air Dome to provide Leaf teams time to prepare and immunity from Banshee seal sound debuff
Say:
"Green Defend! Spearfisher Implode North! Collie Banshee South! Fish Dome East! All Prepare!"
Action Economy:
Round 1:
Hazou:
- Combat Action: Grab Air dome half that Noburi has the other half
- Move Action: Move to Western inner edge of fortress wall
- Quick Action: place Air Dome seal down
- Quick Action: Activate Air Dome once Keiko and Akane have finished
Noburi:
- Combat Action: Grab Air dome half that Hazou has the other half
- Move Action: Move to Eastern inner edge of fortress wall (opposite Hazou)
- Quick Action: place Air Dome seal down
- Quick Action: Activate Air Dome once Keiko and Akane have finished
Keiko:
- Quick Action: Draw Implosion seal (10 meter radius)
- Quick Action: Prep Implosion seal
- Combat Action: Ranged weapons: throw implosion seal arcing it over the north wall, high enough that it shouldn't kill anyone when it goes off, but create a significant shock-wave, dispersing the mist (ideally not destroying the wall)
- Move Action: Position self towards center of fortress
Akane:
- Quick Action: Draw Banshee seal (150 dB)
- Quick Action: Prep Banshee seal
- Combat Action: Throw banshee seal over South wall
- Move Action: Go to the southern Edge of the Air dome (not where Hazou is)
Ideally, other ninja can start taking preparation actions. So long as nobody charges headlong outside the air dome (which goes against "Green Defend" we should be fine)
Round 2:
Say:
"Earmuffs on! Neji numbers and enemy barrel location?"
Action Economy:
Hazou:
- Combat Action: Living Roots
- Quick Action: Retrieve Banshee Slayers (set at 130 dB)
- Quick Action: Activate one ear (both if possible with one action)
- Move Action: signal to Noburi to join him
Noburi:
- Combat Action: Pantokrator's Communion: link with Hazou
- Quick Action: Retrieve Banshee Slayers (set at 130 dB)
- Quick Action: Activate one ear (both if possible with one action)
- Move Action: Move to Hazou
Keiko:
- Combat Action: Summon a Pangolin if she thinks it appropriate (idk chakra costs, so can't intelligently comment on if it's important or not)
- Quick Action: Retrieve Banshee Slayers (set at 130 dB)
- Quick Action: Activate one ear (both if possible with one action)
Akane:
- Combat Action: Retrieve Banshee Slayers (set at 130 dB)
- Quick Action: Activate one ear (both if possible with one action)
- Quick Action: Activate other ear
Round 3-~6:
Divide teams up by direction: each team takes a direction (North, East, West, or South walls), Hazou's team takes the side with the Wakahisa (identifiable via the barrel), team Gai takes the most attacker heavy side, Akane's team takes the second hardest side, Asuma takes the fewest number side. If people object, focus on completing tasks quickly, not enforcing discipline and Hazou's orders. Be prepared to fight in ~3-4 rounds.
General preparations:
Perform quickly, do not spend more than ~ 3-4 rounds making preparations. Provide everyone with a banshee seal to throw over their end of the wall to provide debuffs, and remind everyone to activate their 130 dB Banshee Slayers.
Preparations for Team Uplift:
Noburi: Pantokrator's Communion with Keiko and Hazou to share battlefield info and coordinate targets, and Hozuki's Mantel, finish applying banshee seals, summon Water Whip
Keiko: Summon combat Pangolin (if not done already), Activate Echolocation, refill some chakra from Noburi, prepare a 2 B class explosive, 2 A class explosive, and 2 Kagome goo bombs in easy reach (ideally so they only take a Quick action to prepare and not to draw), Draw one Implosion seal.
Hazou: Draw Banshee seal, Draw Pangolin Claws, Draw Macerator rings, Activate Ghost Scales (put 18 chakra into it).
When all teams signal ready (ideally within ~10-15 seconds), do the following:
- Dispel Air Dome via displacing one of the inner seals
- Wind Wall jutsu or equivalent if someone has it to clear mist (High thrown Implosion seals if nobody has)
- If enemies have not advanced to right outside the barrier:
- Each team throw a Banshee seal over the wall, to cause additional sound damage, Keiko use implosion seal to assist in dispersing
- If enemies have advanced to right outside the barrier:
- Each team engage their opponents with intention to incapacitate (don't kill if possible)
When breaking out of Air Dome, for Team Uplift (other teams will use their own strategies - Hazou doesn't know their compositions and strengths and will trust they know how to fight):
Round 0 (during air dome outbreak):
- Keiko throws Implosion seal up to disperse mist again (and not kill anyone)
- Hazou throws Banshee seal towards his cluster of enemies
- Noburi Use Syrup trap on any foes he senses/sees
- Combat Pangolin assists elsewhere if needed/requested (esp. with the non-combat oriented team), or charges first opponent - strict no killing or permanent incapacitation rule
Round 1:
Noburi:
- Call out targets with superior senses (if mist is still around), especially location of the Wakahisa, and their injury level (if any)
- Quick Action: Sustain Hozuki's Mantel
- Quick Action: Sustain Pantokrator's Communion
- Combat Action: Syrup Trap on targets he sees/senses
- Move Action: Stand between Hazou and Keiko (engage opponents who advance towards Keiko with Water Whip)
Keiko:
- Quick Action: Sustain Echolocation
- Quick Action: Prep B or A class explosive (depending on Noburi's call out)
- Combat Action: Ranged weapons against Wakahisa with nonlethal explosive
- Move Action: Retreat behind Noburi in the back lines (towards the center of the fortress)
Hazou:
- Quick Action: Sustain Living Roots
- Quick Action: Sustain Ghost Armor
- Move Action: engage on nearest opponent
- Combat Action: If Ghost Armor and conditioning jutsu are up, fight with Roki + Ghost Armor + Pangolin Claws + Taijutsu (no chakra boost --> 47 dice) otherwise, fight with Roki + Pangolin Claws + Macerator Rings + Taijutsu + 25 CP Chakra Boost (12 + 0 + 6 + 32 + 5 -> 55 dice):
Subsequent Rounds:
Noburi:
- Call out targets with superior senses (if mist is still around), especially location of ninjutsu users, and their injury level (if any)
- Quick Action: Sustain Hozuki's Mantel
- Quick Action: Sustain Pantokrator's Communion
- Combat Action: Water Whip if engaged in combat with an enemy, Syrup Trap on targets he sees/senses otherwise
- Move Action: Stand between Hazou and Keiko (engage opponents who advance towards Keiko with Water Whip)
Keiko:
- Quick Action: Sustain Echolocation
- Quick Action: Prep B or A class explosive (depending on Noburi's call out), or goo bomb if appropriate
- Combat Action: Ranged weapons against ninjutsu/ranged fighter with nonlethal explosive
- Move Action: Remain at long range from enemies if possible
Hazou:
- Quick Action: Sustain Living Roots
- Quick Action: Sustain Ghost Armor or use Macerator Rings (if Ghost Armor is broken)
- Move Action: engage on nearest opponent
- Combat Action: If Ghost Armor and conditioning jutsu are up, fight with Roki + Ghost Armor + Pangolin Claws + Taijutsu (no chakra boost --> 47 dice) otherwise, fight with Roki + Pangolin Claws + Macerator Rings + Taijutsu + 5 CP Chakra Boost (12 + 0 + 6 + 32 + 1 -> 51 dice):
Repeat until enemies are subdued, help other Leaf teams as necessary.
If battle is won, have Noburi drain all captives dry, take all their things (leave them with rags for privacy, but do strip search them), have Ino interrogate one of them, and assess based on new information. Resume 2 per hour explosive signals.
