Another great guide. Good explanation and nice use of color. Keep it up ICE*.

Wish I had this earlier though to reference lol. Running the balance build with everything a chaotic mix of early, mid and late. orz

No worries, we all make mistakes, I was a balancer all the way to "mid game" also.

Not saying it's exactly a mistake, as I said sometime balance can work nicely, but personally I like high damage ninjas therefore stacking is the way

Also glad you like the thread

I had few requests for this type of a thread, you don't have to follow my suggestions if you don't like it.

As I said already doesn't matter if you are f2p or small/big spender you are not forced to balance power, the only difference is in the amount of time you will need for your upgrades

I am not sure, I understand it correctly.

With the Charms, are you talking about the Charm level or about the Rainbow-Magatama Level? I think first, but if so, what about the rainbow-magatama (same as the normal magatama?

Thanks for the great guide! Very helpful :)

Yes, i am talking about charm level of course

With rainbow magatama I’d recommemd having 7/5/4/4 in goal

thx :)

What about treasured tools? How should we level their 3 attributes up for position 1 compared to other ninjas?

Also Thanks a lot, your suggestions were really helpful :)

Thanks, glad you liked it!

I might as well make part 2 for those other features I guess

As for your question your goal would be getting something like 9/11/11 on pos1 before touching any other position, then you could make let's say 6/7/7 on pos2 and 3/3/3 on pos3-4, then go back to a goal of 11/13/13 for pos1

Good info as always :)

Thank you !

So I know that the only thing I have been truly stacking has been Treasured tools (mainly because the benefits scales quite quickly). I, however, have the hardest time stacking my bp since most of my time is spent using a team that is not meta in any way. With a 5*pos 1 Sage naruto I feel that my runes would be wasted in round 1 and 2 due to the lack of damage dealing attacks he has (and him already oneshotting most). Now I can say that I do stack my refines (advanced) but due to me not being a big or even small spender (I have only done jonin medals), the effort it takes to not stay balanced on these teams is kind of difficult. When I use my more competitive teams the most I do to stack my P1 is by switching as many of my strongest equips as I can.

Would you recommend that I just overhaul my magatama and rune setup or simply go on and start from here?

Note: I am top 3 in my server with 115k power on my casual team and 104k on my meta team (everything is lvl 6+)

Let me clarify a thing: if you are not in the range of the 20k coupons+ingots per month then overstacking move 1 is not worth it for the simple reason that the advantage you gain is not big enough to grant you an overwhelming advantage against other f2p/low cashers that did not behave like you.

ICEx is telling you to go that way like if was possible for a f2p to get a 40k move 1 by leaving move 2-3-4 at 20k before your f2p rivals owned a 34k move 1 and 3 29k+ move 2-3-4. Since this is not possible if you are not in the 20k per month range then even if you overstack move 1 you will still not be able to land enough damage to wipe out the enemies that did not do like you before they kill yoy back, overall because you do not own ninjas that let you do it (they all cost 20k+ coupons).

I wanted to make this thread of big spender/small spender/F2P concept where I would recommend less stacking to F2Ps, but it was kinda complicated so I decided to go with the general suggestion.

This is a thread for people who want to stack and my suggestions for it, as I've had several players requesting my suggestions on it
In the end it's your own decision of course, I think it's always beneficial especially the fact that you can have faster pos1 ninja than others who don't stack for example

You could inspect the players around you (space time) and see what they are doing currently, If they are same/lower power than you and have more initiative and better overall stats on pos1 than you then you should consider stacking more.

Yes and seemed to me right to say that if you are f2p you should never go for this policy because is counterproductive on long term. Only if your move 2-3-4 are comparable to your rivals' then you may think about overstacking, if to overstack you are compelled in leaving move 2-4 so far behind your rivals' move 2-4 that the first attack the enemy do they die then your move 1 has to be so strong that when they are able to move they are at least halved in hp.

A little more detail on how to get from one target to the next.

for the f2p/small spender people, since you won't really directly move from 6/4/4/4 to 7/5/5/5 by just putting all XP into your level 6 to make level seven. Instead you will want to level up your level 4 to level 5 and when you have enough then upgrade a level 6 to level 7. It takes six level 5 to level up one level 6 magatama. Now you can be impatient and immediately level up a level 6 to level 7, but then you have 6 magatama spaces you have to fill by splitting 3 of the other ninjas level 4. Or you can wait until you have nine level 5 before you upgrade.

Before:

ninja 1 = 6/6/6/6/6

ninja 2 = 5/5/5/5/5

ninja 3 = 5/4/4/4/4 or 5/5/5/5/4

ninja 4 = 4/4/4/4/4

After:

ninja 1 = 7/6/6/6/6

ninja 2 = 4/4/4/4/4

ninja 3 = 4/3/3/3/3 or 4/4/4/4/4

ninja 4 = 3/3/3/3/3 or 4/4/4/4/4

Which path you want to take would be up what team you are running and if more power to your ninja 1 is more important than the MUCH larger loss of power for ninja 3 and 4.

Oh, and Ice, this thread isn't in your list of guides.

Nice guide
Can u tell me about specification level about mid game, Late game and very late game, because is usefull for stacking my level too.

Thanks

It's up to you to interpret that, for example something like if your charm/maga are on mid-game level and refines on early-game level then you should focus more on refines at that moment.

Level has nothing to do with it , power is power
