However, this Naruto game features dozens of outfits to choose from, all of which contain unique Clothing Skills that further improve their character’s overall performance. With these qualities in mind, just what are the best outfits in Shinobi Striker?
8 Mossy Gale Armor (Tranquility Of Night, Vacant Nature)
One of the most unique outfits in the Naruto game, the Mossy Gale Armor boasts a rather modern appearance, characteristic of a windbreaker and large shorts as well as a pair of cat headphones. However, despite its rather friendly appearance, the Moss Gale Armor is not something to look down on.
Characteristic of a nimble cat, the Mossy Gale Armor does make for a fast and loose character, especially akin to those Naruto characters who love Lightning Jutsu techniques. They enjoy Tranquility of Night and Vacant Nature, allowing players to enjoy benefits such as boosted Health recovery and Guard as well as better combo execution, albeit at the cost of less debuffs towards foes.
Tranquility of Night: This may increase the cooldown time of Ninja Tools, but this boosts Health recovery and also makes it harder for enemies to fall when getting hit by combos. Vacant Nature: At the cost of shortened debuff time on enemies, this skill does decrease the charge time of Chakra Jumps and boosts the player’s Guard.
7 Lightning Blade (Ranged Essence, Raijin’s Knowledge)
Resembling the outfit of Sasuke Uchiha for the remainder of Naruto Shippuden, the Lightning Blade armor enjoys a white-purple aesthetic, complete with a short white top and heavy clothing on the bottom. Named after Sasuke’s appearance during the first usage of his powerful Kirin technique, this outfit is a Ranged Class.

This outfit does possess the same grit as Sasuke in the Naruto series, that in which he’s more than willing to be at a disadvantage if it meant gaining the upper hand. Likewise, this outfit has Ranged Essence and Raijin’s Knowledge, essentially allowing players more access to Ninjutsu and boosted debuff time to foes but at the cost of higher damage taken.
Ranged Essence: Boosts debuff time and Ninjutsu damage against enemies but also increases Ninjutsu damage taken. Raijin’s Knowledge: Decreases the charge time of Chakra Jump and the cooldown of Ninjutsu at the cost of close-ranged attack power.
6 Love Lotus (Healing Essence, Merciful Knowledge)
Players who prefer a more supportive role like that of Sakura Haruno for their dream Naruto character could appreciate the presence of the Love Lotus. With an attire boasting a memorable peach suit with teal and blue accents, players will also enjoy this outfit’s addition of flower details to mark the rather softer aesthetic of this costume.
These details don’t necessarily mean the Love Lotus players are pushovers, though. Wearing this outfit takes pride in the masterful usage of both Ninjutsu and Secret Tech, courtesy of Healing Essence and Merciful Knowledge. These techniques allow players to compensate for their slower speed and reduced max Health with faster execution of techniques.
Healing Essence: At the cost of reduced max Health, players enjoy boosted Health recovery and charge speed for their Secret Tech. Merciful Knowledge: Decreases Ninjutsu cooldown at the cost of reduced Ninjutsu damage, although players also receive boosted movement speed.
5 Shadow Haze (Attack Essence: Yin, Radiant Inferno)
Befitting a shinobi knight or even a Hokage than a Naruto ninja, the Shadow Haze fits a player with a penchant for striking from the shadows. Boasting armored greaves and gauntlets and a trademark red cape, the Shadow Haze armor wastes no expense making characters feared for their mastery of their technique.
This aesthetic suits the build of the Shadow Haze, possessing the Attack Essence: Yin and Radiant Inferno skills. At its core, these skills incentivize close-range combat and the usage of elusive Secret Tech at the cost of reduced Health regeneration. Players who love risk-taking with more calculated technique rotations can enjoy this armor.
Attack Essence: Yin: This may increase the cooldown of Ninja tools, but this skill also boosts close-range attack speed and the gauge charge of Secret Tech. Radiant Inferno: Decreases cooldown of Ninjutsu and boosts Attack Evasion at the cost of reduced Health obtained when using Healing Ninjutsu.
4 Iron Rose Armor (Garden Spire, Field Fragrance)
As its name implies, the Iron Rose Armor outfit for players of the Naruto game will enjoy a rather armored appearance. Contrary to the popular outfits inspired by the ninjas of the Naruto series, the Iron Rose Armor instead boasts a black and blue samurai armor embedded with rose patterns and a white belt.
Befitting its appearance, the Iron Rose Armor trades speed and Health recovery for stronger damage. Thanks to Garden Spire and Field Fragrance, players enjoy more Health and faster access to Ninjutsu. Not only that, but their combos also connect more efficiently, making any close-quarters incursion more advantageous to them.
Garden Spire: At the cost of decreased movement speed, players enjoy boosted Ninjutsu damage while at the same time making it harder for enemies to fall during combos. Field Fragrance: While this reduces Health recovery, this skill does boost the player’s overall Health. Not only that, but they also enjoy reduced Ninjutsu cooldowns.
3 Rengeki (Attack Essence, Fujin’s Knowledge)
Boasting a more carefree appearance befitting the Wind God Fujin, Rengeki boasts a rather flexible aesthetic for characters of the Naruto game. Coating players with a short black suit with red details as well as fur on the shoulders, waist, and shins, the outfit suits an aggressively-fast shinobi in the Naruto game.

This outfit style also fits the skill build of Rengeki, as it contains both Attack Essence and Fujin’s Knowledge. Trading Health for close combat efficiency, this armor allows players to enjoy stronger close-quarters incursions with Taijutsu and Ninjutsu with no difficulty dodging opponents.
Attack Essence: At the cost of reduced maximum Health, players do enjoy boosted Ninjutsu and close-range attack damage. Fujin’s Knowledge: While this decreases debuff effect time on enemies, this does reduce the cooldowns of Substitution and increases Attack Evasion.
2 Anbu Outfit Kakashi Version (Thunderous Gale, Blooming Cherry Blossom)
Fans of the Naruto series who fell in love with Kakashi Hatake’s younger days within the Anbu spec-ops team will definitely appreciate having the Anbu Outfit Kakashi Version. At its core, this outfit has the same body armor and regular jeans that Anbu members possess, except this time possessing the arm guards, scarf, and face mask that Kakashi wore.
And similar to Kakashi, this armor does boast the Thunderous Gale and Blooming Cherry skills that characterized the character’s youth. At its core, while the armor penalizes players with more damage taken, they incentivize players through stronger combo execution and faster access to techniques.
Thunderous Gale: While this boosts Ninjutsu damage taken, this skill makes it harder for opponents to fall during combos and at the same time gives players a boost in close-range attack power. Blooming Cherry Blossom: At the cost of decreased charge strength, players may enjoy a lower Ninjutsu cooldown and obtain twice the guard power.
1 Strong Soul (Defense Essence, Adamantine Knowledge)
Reigning supreme on the defense is the Strong Soul outfit in Naruto: Shinobi Strikers. Boasting a rather bulky appearance, the Strong Soul outfit will have players wear a blue and white kimono with special accents, as well as shoulder guards that denote their rather penchant for the defensive. Rocking a more stalwart appearance, the Strong Soul implies these players take things slowly but surely.
It’s Defense Essence and Adamantine Knowledge that makes the Strong Soul outfit such a standout costume. At its core, these skills benefit defense-heavy builds, particularly those that rely on distance to remain safe and ranged attack power through their signature Naruto techniques.
Defense Essence: Boosts the charge speed of Secret Tech and the charge distance of close-ranged attacks at the cost of increased cooldowns of Substitutions and Ninjutsu. Adamantine Knowledge: Boosts maximum health and decreases damage from Ninjutsu but reduces close-ranged attack power.
Naruto To Boruto: Ninja Striker was released on August 30, 2018, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows.
