Are you tired of being "weak" for your level?
Are you just not sure how to manage your resources?
Are you so broke that if someone robbed you it would just be practice(Free to play :P)?

Well this guide may be for you then!
Here you can expect to find advice on managing your character and resources. You wil not find any in deph battle strategy, descriptions of certain terminolgy or any explaination of game mechanics...YET! Also please note that this guide is prettymuh from my experience of playing since the day of release. My first character did NOT follow this, and I made another character a month later on another server and I did do this and it turned out a lot better than my first.

I will be continuously update this guide by adding/updating/correcting information, fixing any spelling/grammar errors, more videos, graphics and other small things.

NINJA MANAGEMENT
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/BUkg3FSnOl4
Especially for free players, it is best to focus on 12 characters for ranked battles and survival trial.

Leveling:
Characters (Not your main character) can level up by eating food or by doing instances and other tasks for exp. You can get food from instances, treasures and many other places. Since food doesn't have any uses outside of leveling at the moment it can be used to level up ALL of your characters to whatever level you want. Id recommend doing this for testing characters against kakashi clones or for characters participating in survival. Its really up to you though since arena is a fine place to test your ninja.

Star Upgrading/Unlocking/Recruiting characters:
Once you have your 12 picked you will need to upgrade them. Usually you can upgrade characters by getting fragments from elite instances
but you c*so get fragments from the redemption shop, survival, events and other places around the game. Focus on upgrading characters from shop whenever possible at your own digression however characters that require stamina through elite instance will be upgraded carefully since you will be upgrading your gear too. Fragments you get from your first win over an unbeaten elite instance are priority over gear since they will only be obtained once but if you do this I recommend spending the rest of your stamina on gear. This subject will be updated more in depth in the future because of how complicated it can be*

Cultivation:
Every level(once you unlock cultivation) you will be able to cultivate your characters to further increase their power and strength.You do this by obtaining cultivation runes from a variety of places, most notably the survival trial. Only spend cultivation runes on your 12. If cultivation runes ever become scarce be sure to always cultivate your main 4 first before moving on to the other 8. Also be mindful on how you spend them. For example, Shikamaru has all Ninjutsu skills so cultivating Taijutsu would be a waste of runes. You might also want to cultivate the strengths of your 12 first before anything secondary. For example, Gaara is a tank that has High HP and gains shield based on resist. Cultivate Gaara's HP and resistance first then move on to cultivating the strengths of your other 11. Once completed come back to Gaara and increase his defense and ninjutsu (Gaara uses one tai/nin skill so Tai should be the absolute last stat you cultivate if you decide to cultivate it at all).

Awakening:
Every 5 levels(Once you unlock awakening) you will be able to awaken your characters to further increase their growth,power and strength. You do this by obtaining awakening materials from instances, treasures and many other places. Focus on awakening your main 4 , with your main character always having priority, then onto the other 8. Farming these awakening materials will cost stamina. I strongly encourage staying on top and updated on awakenings at all times if possible for all of your 12 characters but if things get tough focus on your main 4 first then move onto the other 8.

Moods:
Moods are a way to highlight and increase a specific stat by 5% or more at the cost of reducing another by 5%. The reduced stat always stays at -5% while the increased stat can be increased beyond +5%. Stats chosen to increase/decrease are random and cost 10 coupons per roll by buying meat*. Moods can be strengthened by buying Mood Scrolls for 15 coupons. There is no risk with strengthening moods. I recommend waiting for events or spending coupons meant for magtama on meat* (50 coupons for every 100 you get to save them since getting what you want is a Gamble..) ONLY spend these coupons on meat* for your main 4. Period. When it comes to strengthening them, the +5% increases by 4% each level and it costs 30 coupons(2 mood scrolls) per level. You will only strengthen to level 5 because level 6 and maybe onward cost 10 mood scrolls(150 coupons).

Personally what I did to obtain meat* for rolls is doing events so they were free. I was lucky enough to roll the ones I wanted and I only did it on my main team. After doing that I used the saved coupons to get all of my main 4 to level 5 moods.

EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/YsLmllC_ZnwStrengthening:
Max this out each level until level 40 but feel free to stay maxed out as you level. Beyond 40 pick all or 10 pieces of gear to continue to max out by level. (Money saving tactic while keeping your characters relevant). For example if you have Earth main and you like defenses, you may want to continue adding life and resistance while keeping the rest at 40 A lot of people don't like strengthening because of its extremely small gains, but these small games really add up. Its worth the boosts. IMPORTANT: If you feel the need to add more after 40 do so. You know what you need more than I do.

Upgrades:
Always always always keep yourself upgraded at least:

30:Full Chunin Gear
40: Full Chunin +1 Gear
50: Full Jonin Gear
60: Full Jonin +1 Gear
70: Full Kage Gear

This is going to require a lot of stamina to keep up with but its well worth it. If you have the required mats but just not the scroll, feel free to move on to the next level.

Magatama:
This should be your main coupon spending place at least until you hit level 40 in the ninja exam and you have all level 2 magatama.
If you plan to balance your magatama (getting all to lvl 2, then lvl 3, so on and so on) Then you might want to think about using non coupon spending ways to get magatama to level them such as ninja exam(the higher the exam the better obviously), Nine tails invasion, Sage world, Seal treasures, events, etc. If you plan on specializing in one aspect such as life, spending coupons to get higher level magatama from shops IN ADDITION TO GETTING AND USING NON COUPON MAGATAMA isn't a bad option.

Refinement:
Refinement is luck based. It is the safest and most efficient if you use refinement runes on refinement events whenever they come around, whether it gives extra blessing points or extra runes. By the time you unlock refinement you might have a few low refinement runes that you c*e. Try to get everything up to at least refinement level 2. Feel free to focus refinement on a certain gear after that to help a character get faster. I do not recommend spending coupons on these early since they are available at the redemption merchant for group victories and ranked battle points.

SUMMONS MANAGEMENT
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/DHoO7uoAO9A
Contract:
When you hit level 50 you are able to obtain summons to help you during battle and increase your power. The summons are split into 3 tiers and levels.

Lvl.50: Blue - you can slot one summon
Lvl.53: Purple - you can slot two summons
Lvl.56: Gold(only obtainable through summon treasure) - you can slot three summons

Once you get to each of the levels listed above be sure to attack every summon with the corresponding color at least once in order to gain the nice 1st time kill rewards which will be runes(explained more in detail below). Also only blue and purple are eligible for these rewards. Try to capture all of the summons because you get rewards(runes) for doing so.

Rune:
You obtain runes from fighting summons, summon treasure, achievements and other places. When putting runes on your summons try to keep them all balanced for maximum power gain. EX: all runes are at least lvl 1, so get them all to 2, then 3, so on and so on.
