It really depends on where you are in terms of pvp. Are you capable of getting six paths easily? Being able to place in sage? Serious about Space-time? Let's say you are able to get one event ninja from saving, how much of an impact do you think that one ninja can change and improve your lineup? Depending on your answer, you might need more power and/or get an event ninja to be able to answer questions.

If you don't care about pvp, then go pokemon mode of course and save those coupons.

Really depends on what kind of teams you're going to be using. 5 months ago I would have told you power. Now that we have all these new ninjas, I will tell you that you need to have at least 1 or 2 p2w ninjas if you're serious about competing. I'm sure some will tell you, "I'm not p2w at all and I'm doing just fine" but those are the few that already overpower most ppl and more often than not have high-quality gear. If you're a mid-range fighter and you want to compete with your peers, you need to one or two ninjas that won't be rolled over easily in pvp.

This is the team I use most of the time. I didn't pay for any of these people. These were all pulls and coupon saving.

It works well enough because of Mu's immobile and revive ability. When I'm up against heavy hitters in pvp, that's when I feel the pinch. There's only so much you can do if someone's ninjas have a bunch of extra abilities and you don't.

lvl 95 with 80k is not awful. With the right team, you could be dangerous.

on German server i have 57k with lv 73 ._.

I feel like an pretty hard casher xD

In my opinion both is important. High BP and low Ninjas wont work either as no BP and Event Ninjas.

I made the decission to get a few basic ninjas which i wanted like:
- Samehada Kisame (Shark Kisame)
- Masked Man
_ Jonin Minato
- Roshi
- Kakuzu (ergroll) the developed one not thre standart one

As i got them i bought BP-increasing items only from events ( f2p ) and saved every item for the right event.
If u have 300 Cave Keys u get 30 extra ones for free at the right event.

Just don rush the early BP Stages like a lot of newbies do.
Collect Items, use them at events only and after time you will see you will be able to catch up.

Watch this and tell me high bp low ninjas wont work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eCz-W-y0D0c. Fast forward to 2:30

this video is irrelevant, buying 1 ninja wont make a 40k power difference

Ninjas everyone knows this game is about transformations.

1 ninja wont, but if it becomes a patrern, 2,3,4, etc ninja will make a * big difference. Nevertheless, that is not the point. The point is have enough significant bp difference you can beat expensive line up using cheap ninjas. So for anyone who asks the question of power or ninja: if you play long term, and want to stay competitive, go power because meta team changes frequently, and for those who just want aim to have fun with ninja short terms, go for ninja. No need to have 40k power difference to know how important power is. Even a few thousand bp difference and higher initiative can be crucial factor between winning and losing even if that battle is between expensive and cheaper team
