Good day to everyone! Im Ninshu Sensei and I have been playing the game for almost 5 years now. At the moment i am working as a teacher so i do not have the time that i had before but had my brothers dummy my 6 accounts for me when Im not around. Of my different accounts, 2 were guild leaders and the other 4 are just high level ninjas. It is important that I let everyone know that you do not need to play the game all the time for 24 hours straight....just like me...when i was a low level i only play anytime between 11:00 and 2:00 pm or 6:00 to 9:00. Notice that these are exactly the times when team instance and convoy/plunders are being done...its economical and a save in time this way. Now, on to the main topic. Is battle power really that important? 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. Note that i did not say about it becoming the determining factor in PVP fights, as it definitely is not. But as a starting player you would need to know the basic functions of the game and if youre not familiar with them yet(as there are so many of them like the upgrade equipment,awaken,cultivate and etc.), one of the fastest way is to go to the increase power option located on the top left of your screen and it will immediately lead you to the different major functions in the game in one click. Again it is because you used your battle power as reference that you managed to make things convenient for you. Next is its application in fights, and this would be my last point to share to everyone regarding the importance in battle power. Its is CLEAR AS DAY that BP only serves as a measurement as the formation, positioning,ninja's used and counters all play a much important role in actually winning fights..but never did it say that battle power is not worth investing your time on. Let me tell you this...of all the venues in naruto online that you can fight the one that matters to me most are the sage world battlefields and the GNW. Of these two modes your basic attributes and stats are GREATLY in play as it would determine whether your offensive and defensive power will make a difference or not. Im saying this as your stats are what plummets your battle power and make it soar through the air..and not having enough battle power only means your basic stats is not at its fullest/strongest. Any increase in life ooints will add numbers on your healthbar in fights..and we all know just one life point is enough to make a difference in winnning and losing. Increase in attack and ninjutsu would increase the actual damage points of your characters in the game..which will again make all the difference in the world. Consider it like Ashura and Indra from naruto.Ashura inherited the bodybof the 6paths..and indra the wisdom and soul ninjutsu of the 6paths. If you want to have a strong team you need to cover these only two things to do it. One is an impeccable BRAIN for strategy and *yzing formations to win...which im sure most off you strive to have. And the next is a very strong physical attributes and stats which determines your total physical efficiency in the game. So its BOTH MIND AND BODY, and BATTLE POWER is what determines the strength of your "body". That is why battle power is as important as your strategies...because in a battle of strong ninjas with excellent strategies it would all boil down to the physical attributes of the ninjas fighting...and you can only have a strong one by increasing your battle power. Remember..battle power = strong physical stats...and vice versa. Thats all for now...have a nice day!
