Itachi Combos Guide for ABA
Itachi Uchiha combo guide for Anime Battle Arena: Amaterasu chains, Sharingan mix-ups, rework routes, and ranked one-shot setups.
Itachi After the Rework
Itachi Uchiha from Naruto received a significant rework in Anime Battle Arena that reshaped his combo routes and mid-tier placement. At 2,000 gold on the character cost table, Itachi is a premium Naruto pick with Amaterasu pressure, Sharingan mix-ups, and explosive finisher damage. He sits in B tier on the 1v1 list but excels in specific matchups with labbed one-shot routes.
Itachi suits players who enjoy setup-heavy gameplay: landing Amaterasu, conditioning blocks, then punishing with M1 strings into ultimate finishers. Review Naruto characters for roster context and combo fundamentals before character-specific lab.
Skill Breakdown
Itachi's kit revolves around fire-style jutsu, Sharingan counters, and genjutsu-themed control tools mapped to keys 1 through 4. Amaterasu typically applies damage over time or zone pressure that forces opponents to dodge or eat chip damage. Sharingan may counter or reflect certain attack types — timing is matchup-dependent.
Post-rework frame data changed startup and recovery on several skills. Verify current values on Trello buff and nerf sections before copying older combo videos from pre-patch creators. Transformation on G often amplifies fire damage or adds new combo routes.
Core Combo Sequences
Bread-and-butter Itachi route: Amaterasu or skill starter → approach confirm → 3 M1s → aerial → ladder → extender → guard break → ultimate finisher. Wall combos on ranked maps with corners amplify Amaterasu chip plus M1 damage into frightening totals.
Mix-up layer: feint Amaterasu at range, dash in on dodge cooldown, confirm with fast starter. Opponents who respect fire too much eat melee opens; opponents who ignore fire eat chip into stun. This conditioning loop wins ranked rounds from our ranked guide framework.
One-Shot Routes
Itachi community guides highlight TOD sequences combining Amaterasu ticks with full M1 ladder into ultimate. These require open map space and perfect timing — practice in training ten times before ranked attempts. Not every ranked map allows full juggle height; arena maps with open ceilings are best for lab.
Compare Itachi TOD consistency to Gojo combos or SS-tier meta picks. Itachi rewards mastery over tier list placement — a labbed Itachi main beats uninformed S-tier players regularly.
Training & Matchups
Daily Itachi lab: five Amaterasu spacing reps, ten ladder confirms, three ultimate enders. Queue Arena before ranked. Struggle against long-range zoners? Switch to another Naruto main like Kakashi for bad matchups.
Controller players remapping jump per controller guide should prioritize ladder consistency on Itachi because his damage ceiling depends on air time. Watch the video below for visual combo timing after the rework.
