NARUTO: Ninja Cards Tsukuyomi Army Itachi Strategy Guide

To play Tsukuyomi Army Itachi effectively in NARUTO: Ninja Cards, deploy him during the mid-to-late game on an uncluttered field, distribute his spawned clones across at least two lanes, and reinforce the clones with shield buffs or attack speed modifiers.

Board Space and Deployment Timing

Tsukuyomi Army Itachi relies on a replication skill that triggers a chain reaction to spawn multiple clones from a single card play. Because this skill fills available unit slots on your side of the field, clogged lanes will cap the total number of clones generated.

• Clear low-value units before playing Itachi: Trade off weak or damaged cards prior to deploying Itachi to ensure maximum board space for clone generation.
• Treat the card as a mid-to-late game pivot: Hold Itachi until the mid-game or late-game phase when you are ready to transition from single-unit trades to full board pressure.

Lane Positioning and Aggressive Tactics

Spreading Itachi clones across the field prevents opponents from neutralizing your entire force with a single defensive ability.

• Split-lane pressure: Deploy or push clones across at least two separate lanes. This forces the opponent to divide their defensive resources rather than concentrating on one threat.
• Bait defensive abilities: The sheer volume of clones can induce opponents to spend high-cost removal spells early, leaving their defenses open to your follow-up plays.
• Target open lanes: Direct clone waves into lanes leading straight to the opponent's objective to convert numerical dominance into objective damage.

Managing Vulnerabilities and Over-Investment

Because Itachi clones have low individual durability, an opponent with area-of-effect (AoE) abilities or full board clears can wipe your field if you commit all your resources at once.

Avoid playing your entire hand on a single clone push if you suspect the opponent is holding a multi-target removal card. Always reserve a secondary threat card in your hand or maintain an alternative damage dealer on the board. If your clone wave is dismantled, having a backup unit prevents a total loss of momentum.

Deck Synergy Options

Supporting Itachi with complementary card effects improves clone survivability and accelerates objective destruction.
