This is a fairly basic topic overall, and the way its delivered is painful to look at.

For any specific topic there is many great guides on the forums: Specficly Tobei and ICE*

Just a TLDR to This: BP is very important since it represents the weighted stat total of your whole team, so the higher the bp you have the more stats one will have giving them an advantage against lower bp listed enemies, but this is manly a guide line since close amount of bp the fight is more decided by how the person plays and the strength and weaknesses of their units.

Good day sammyjay! Thanks for noticing my post and for the feedback....as you would notice the topic that i chose is very basic and doesnt really require much explanation. Im new to this forum so i wanted to test my writing while sharing something that i know. If you look at it i intentionally made it very long so no one would bother finishing it as i also made sure to use rehashed statements and repeated every thought again and again. This is not a GUIDE..this is just my view in why BP is important...so by saying it is painful to look at are referring to the content of my explanation which was obviously my opinion about BP or is it with the way i wrote it...like any grammatic errors or some other technical stuff in writing...because uf so id very much want an indepth lecture from you any time :) looking forward to hearing from you soon Sammyjay :)

It painful in the sense its a giant block of text, which if your goal is to make it so one wouldn't want to read through it than well job well done, Most Irish authors would be proud. If you want to write for forum post than certain content is generally needed, reason why i currently keep to replies. For one, the moderators can get pretty particular with how and where something is posted, this does at least fit with the topic of strategy share since it covers what you think is important strategy of play. I'm not a good source for writing knowledge, though if you want to improve in guide base or technical writing look through guides posted and see where they go right or wrong in their approach, if its more creative writing than stuff like fan fiction or reading novels are good since it helps build ones background for these things.

Good day again Sammyjay! Thanks again for the reply...my goal is to excercise my freedom of speech as i believe it is well within my rights to do so....and NO, if you think im trying to accomplish anything then let me tell you now...really not so. My opinion about the topic is imperfect...i just tried to made sense of it the way i see it and opting to do it using so many words that made it look almost like a novel is MY CHOICE, and im not really sure if theres anything wrong with it. This is not a debate to whether what i said about the topic is right...as i believe that even just a little bit there is some little sense to what i shared at least...well it doesnt even matter if it doesnt since its just my opinion..and im pretty sure you know what this word means...and i bet you know that opinions can be objective. Now it all boils down to why i made a slight issue of your comment...saying what ive written is PAINFUL is your right since this is a free country...but im the kind of person who would want to tell you to be more responsible and sensitive to your comments. Learn how to respect anothers ideas..no matter how twisted it is...and focus more on your case in point instead of saying that ones work is painful to read. You sound like a smart person so focus on what you know instead and avoid words that would give off a bad image to anything...if what ive written is painful for you because i used so many words than its lije youre trying to inhibit me from excersising my freedom of speech and we both know thats not a really good thing to be doing...its a crime to prevent someone to excercise his/her rights. And abiut the moderators...unless youre one of them then i really think that you should reall just focus on the things that you can do that is considered legal within this forum and let the real moderators do their job..again only if youre not one of them. Have a nice day Sammyjay and hope to hear frim you soon :)

So i get the feeling this is in part a troll post or something.

Short reply Freedom of speech is rarely an absolute Freedom, even more so when entering the social contract of sub spaces such as forums. I leave it at that before this ends up an endless loop where mods do actually come in.

Good day again! You really sure sound like you know everything to even say what i did is a troll post...well not that i know what it even means. Its good that you kept it short...id make it one as well. It is also very clear to me that all you do is monitor posts and constantly criticize it all the time...im not sure if ure getting paid to do that though(and by the way, not sure why you used the Irish authors as refernce,if i really was IRISH,it would be disrespectful to me) anayways good day to you and keep on monitoring this entire forum acting like your one of the moderators sammyjay :)

Hasn't this game only been around for 2 years or so....

.-. something doesn't add up lol

Guys please don't argue here

Yeah I wanted to comment also how are you playing for 5 years ? Not even the Chinese version is out for that long

It's ok to share a point of view although I gotta admit that you should at least make some seperations in sentences it's hard to read it all like this

Hello and good day! Yeah i think i made a mistake with the number of years it shouldve been since at the later end of 2016....yea its not good to argue here so i appreciate you guys pointing out my mistake in a better manner...thanks and have a nice day !

I agree to this post but only half. What all matters in this game is initiative. It should be called INITIATIVE ONLINE. Just now in fighting matsuri, i fought 2 enemy with 98k power and 100k + power and still beat them with my 78k power. This is not even my main account and dont focus to play at. Even i know its their fifth attack and their main ninjas are dead so the remaining has trolled formation or something. It doesn’t prove that higher battle power always has their ways. They even attack first position 1. So battle power matters not neccessarily entirely true. Yes, I admit that higher BP always has the edge, but hey dont underestimate lower BP than you around 5k difference. Its rare to beat someone higher than you 20k power above.

Dude, your team is like way stronger than theirs. Of course you won.

But has more like 20k power higher. And even faster, you read my post whole post right? Even let say, picture one, gakido change to roshi, and then became han roshi cancer. Im confident that i can still beat it. So your opinion is half true half false regarding battle power.

Then whats the point of your post saying BAttle power matters? That overall power of your team and it matters. Well you may be right, you also be wrong.

You said: let me give you a straight answer derived drom my long years of experience and my numerous attempts to be the strongest ninja in my server experience as well..YES IT IS. Now anyone can argue this with me...but battle power serves as a measurement for your unit's total strength in the game. Let me repeat that again..it is a MEASUREMENT of your total strength in the game, just like kilos is to weight, kilometers to distance and so on and so forth.

And you said to me that i have better ninja but lower power vs higher BATTLE power you insist strongly that it matters. Well wheres the logic, we are talking about BAttle Power ,you contradict yourself.

You are running two 20k coupons worth ninjas... each one of them is worth by themselves a 10k power boost. If you are 90k you are like a 110-120k power for somebody that do not run any of them. That said this game is not at all initiative online...

initative isnt everything. if you dont know that, you've not fought a triple heal team or a kushina team or anyone with masked man. initiative means nothing to them

It quite true that initiative is not the sole deciding factor in a fight, but it is considered the most important single stat in the game do to just the sheer amount that it can affect in battle, or to put simply 99% of the time you want to have the higher initiative. Even the team above can benefit from having the initiative advantage, for heal team getting off a heal before a jinpachi or madara ignites your lineup can be the difference maker, with masked man mean whether or not going for a same position interrupt is viable in a prompt mystery battle, and kushina can benefit by going into round 2 with a suppressing immunity that can easily be comboed into immobile.

lets say initiative used to be way more overpowered in the past, when owning initiative meant also owning a +40% boost to nin/atk due to autobarriers, lately appeared some ninjas that let you win even without it (kushina habanero or kisame samehada for example).

Very true, though barrier ninja are still highly valued for many parts of the game at this point. I would say having the total initiative advantage is not as huge now for some teams, though good initiative is really useful, even more so for interrupter ninja like shark Kisame, which if po1 and faster can stop your opponent from getting any mystery that turn. Its definitely a stat that one should't be ignoring if their trying to do well in pvp that's for sure.
