Utsusemi and breath attacks

[Mifaco]

I was updating the Copy Images article at the wiki, and I was wondering about how Utsusemi and breath attacks relate. The update notes say that magic AoEs will wipe Utsusemi, but yet Cursed Sphere, Bomb Toss, and Bubble Shower don't wipe shadows.

Are these attacks breath attacks..? Do people wearing breath damage -% take less damage? I seem to remember reading about that here, but I can't find anything on search.

I'm fairly sure they are, I've noticed the DMG on those go down as the mobs HP goes down. And that pretty much means breath attack. Also I read it somewhere.

Bomb Toss damage doesnt go down in correlation to mob HP, not sure about Cursed Sphere.

[Orph]

Bomb toss damage will drop at lower hp only if its a suicide bomb.

Yup.

Bubble Shower is HP related, that much I know for sure.

[Falconblade]

Bubble Shower could be considered a breath. It does go down with hp.

Cursed Sphere, the spell atleast, isnt a breath.
Seeing as most BLU spells behave like the mob counter parts, Id say thats enough to rule it out.

And Bomb toss only is if suicide.

On a side-note, get involved with the requested move at its talk page. Type "Move:", "Don't Move:", or "Comment:" (depending on what you are typing), bold it, and then post what you have to say.

I thought for it to be breath attack it needs to be conal, otherwise wouldnt mijin gakure be considered a breath attack?

I thought for a breath attack it not only had to be HP based, but also come from the mob's mouth.

HP based aoe moves that come from something other than the mob's mouth is just an HP based aoe non-physical attack.

I guess "breath" attacks would get their name from that they are based on your health ("breath"). So if you were running out of breath/health, you'd heal/deal very little damage, assuming breath attacks include all magical HP-based abilities.

I'm pretty sure they get the name from, you know, being BREATH ATTACKS. Like heat breath, frost breath, radient breath, etc. I really doubt breath damage -% will work on other hp based attacks like suicide bomb toss, bubble shower, spirits within, flying hip press, etc.

Well, obviously that's where they get their real name. But if it is in fact all HP-based magic attacks, then the name still holds.
