I agree with some of what's been stated above....ninja are generally a waste of coupons (...unless you're a whale....then it becomes all about collecting and prestige).

The thing is, with the lengthy time it takes to save for a ninja, the more likely it'll become less useful (even useless) by the time you buy it. After a few months, better ninja are available, counters are developed...and in some cases, the one you want is nerfed.

Further, events are a slippery slope...it's easy to go to them for ninja frags, but if you're not careful, you can end up wasting coupons on low-yield gambles, or panic buys.

On the other side of the coin is battle power....it's not trendy or fun...or even interesting, but it accvmulates with time and diligence and works well with any lineup. That's what I'd focus on. As far as what to buy? Generally I recommend players focus on low-mid level items in every group (runes, mood, magatamas, etc). That's where it's most cost-effective. But I would check 2 places to help pinpoint where you should focus:

First, the game helps you. While you're logged in, in the upper left corner by your name is a red box labeled "Power Up" ...if you click it, you'll see what your weak areas are.

Secondly, in the lower right corner, click "Shop" and go to the "Purchase Limit" tab. Here you can get packs for varying power boosting items that are currently on sale. I like these sales better than most events because there's no risk of loss--you know what you're gonna get. They're essentially the same as what you'd find elsewhere in the Shop--just cheaper.

Case in point: I have 2 accounts, One is PTW that focuses entirely on collecting new ninja, the other is F2P and focuses entirely on battle power.

The PTW account is a lot more fun, because it has cooler ninja and more options for lineups. However, at the end of the day, the F2P account has an easier time playing, because it's a lot stronger for its level.
(why 2 accounts? I think of budgeting as being comparable to dieting. Strictly eating only foul-tasting health food isn't sustainable. Statistically most dieters cave in and binge on treats--whereas diets that allow for an occasional small indulgence tend to be successful. While I'm very active on my PTW account, I recharge very little--it's how I treat myself and keep my F2P account on track)

Anyways, I hope this helps :)

No, you can get him with seals. I suggest save your coupons to get power items like charms, refines, and Clothes.

thats how i got him personally but idk if its "worth" you can get him seals but depends if u get gnw packs

Alright thanks, is the anbu clothing also a good use of coupons?

jeez 4 stars from just that? ive played for cppl months and hardly get his frags from survival :( bad luck i guess

Definitely but the issue is that the price hasn't been stable since the majority of the time its been in events that the price fluctuate due to rng of getting points. Treasure of the sages provided the base price for the armor recently and all is left is to compare whether it would lower or equal to the base price the next time it shows up in lucky board/missions general.

It takes a while like 8-10 months depending how much you do survival. However, for me, this occured in 2.0 and 3.0. With 4.0, it might be different especially survival has new frags and removed the trial breakthrough.

save 5100 coupons. use them during a lucky board with Anbu Clothing as a redeem item.
Get Anbu Clothing.

yea i might do that

either that or summer youth sai

No, sooner or later we will get him in a shop and it is a free pull that you gain 99/100 within one year of playtime from sage treasure. If you are lucky, like happened to me, you get him for free after 4 months of free draws there.

This thread title is totally misleading

sry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i didnt know what category to put it under so strategy share seemed the best

one way to get frags would probably be exchanging in the recruit. I forgot witch kind of scroll you need but just check

yeah if you seem to find some you can spend them. Only if it's worth it though. Be wise with your coupons!
