I'm spending all my coins on strenghtening, all my contributions on group skills, all my magatama is distributed equally amogst 3 characters (main has a bit more), and my coupons... they go for refines/magatama/mood

What level magatamas, whats your refinement at, what's your battle armour, your ninja tools, etc.

magatamas are at lvl 3-4, I either can't afford more, or simply do not get more to get all my gear higher

Refinements are on lvl 1-4, luck hasn't allowed my to get them higher

Battle armour lvl 13, rank 2

ninja tools are now anbu to kage lvl, I'm working on them everyday.

Whatcha mean by etc? What else may I be missing?

Are your ninjas 4-star? If you are not having group skills leveled at all times, start donating coins to get higher gruop skills, as they are more effective than strengthening. I would have to take a look at everything else to determine where else you're lacking.

It could be magatamas, refinements, mood, battle armor, summon runes, summons, ninja tools, and I'll assume you're fully cultivated and awakened.

He's not fully awakened in his Hinata and Sasuke picture.

I just hit lvl 72, so not all my ninjas are fully awakened, I lack stamina for that. They will be done tomorrow

Only Kabuto is 3 star now, but I'm getting frags everyday

my group skills are all currently at lvl 15

magatamas I had already mentioned, there is about 3/4 are lvl 3, and the rest are lvl 4

refinements are a big lie... I almost always have to hit that 10/10 to get refined to the next lvl... and coupons are not that easy to get :/

mood is set for all characters atm, however only main has +25% (coupoooooonsssss xD)

Battle armor already mentioned, lvl 13, rank 2

summon runes I have on lvl 4-5 on a single summon, I don't know how to exactly distrubute them on the others equally xDD

all purple and blue summons, no gold so far ;_;

I think 1.5 of a character has a Kage set, the rest is still Anbu

cultivation is full, awakenings will be tomorrow

Your group skills are way too low i just hit lv 73 and mine are all lv 35. Group skills give you A LOT of power way more than spending cash on strengthening you get more from donating.

Group skills are way too low - I'm lvl 69 with 20k+ power, but I have all my group skills maxed to 35.

I have to say that group skills are the biggest contributor to overall battle power.

Also, getting at least 2 of your ninjas to 4 stars will also be beneficial to increasing BP.

3 of my ninjas are 4* xD I also have Kakashi, but prefer to use Kabuto in my team... and after Plot instance, Tobi will also be 4*

I do group skills, however I have found a group for myself when I was lvl 55 I believe, so it's not that difficult to see why they are low.

And how does that even calculate? I strenghten my equipment, get 10-20 power, I get a group skill, I get 2-10 power...

The ninjas you are using themselves have lower base stats than Akatsuki ninjas for example, so that's a bit of power difference there. Your group is only level 3...I'd recommend either start actively recruiting or think about merging into a bigger group if you want power, as they make a huge difference. Your magatamas, battle armor, and refinements are fine for now, just slowly work on them over time.

Do your other summons have full runes, and at least level 3? Think of it like magatamas, you want them to have all level 3 before focusing on a single summon to level 4-5. Gold summon will come like rare ninjas, guaranteed after 40-60 pulls (free or scroll) so no worries. Your equipment is definitely lacking, sweep elite only for the daily, and focus the rest of your stamina on getting Kage gear. If you lack the scrolls, you need to complete Ninja Exam 80 ASAP (there are various guides out there).

Whenever I increase one of the main group skills, such as HP, attack, nin, def and resist, my BP jumps up by at least 30-40, so it's a significant amount when you compare it to strengthening equipment.

Joining a top group is very vital in getting stronger tbh.

My group is lvl 4 actually xD And appearently we are close into getting lvl 5

Getting Akatsuki ninjas is not so easy if you are not able to spend money on this game :/ The only one I have is Tobi, and grinding for the rest is not so easy...

With my current power, I can't even dream of ninja exam lvl 80... I get 2HKO from a standard attack :v

I will get other summons runes, although I'm not using them :/ They are there just for power.

Rare ninjas? I don't know anything about that Pokemon.... srsly, the rarest one I got was GNW Kankuro just recently... the rest I get are all 1*...

I prefer to stay in the group I'm currently in, I got some friends here, a lot of fun, and I would feel like betraying them if I joined another group to be honest... I know it sounds silly, but I guess that I have to bear with it for now :)

Well, long story short... to increase power:

-get better summons (not happening with my luck)
-get better ninjas (maybe by the end of this year)
-summon runes on all summons (first realistic suggestion)
-upgrade stars (working on it)
-work on gear (working on it)

I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I really appreciate it that you guys want to help me, but the only thing that is new to me to be honest... is summon runes on all summons xD I never thought about using the rest of my summons, so I never runed them :v

Is there anything else I can do atm?

About ninjas I'm getting that might be "rare" or "better", there are some, but it will take some time:

Elite Instances prizes
Plot Instance Tobi for star upgrade
Kisame (1.5 month of grinding him, 50/80)
Hidan (about the same time as above 45/50)
Kakuzu (the same time, 35/50)

And for sweeps, atm only Jugo, in the future probably Karin and Kurenai (Deidara too, he will take forever though)
Also getting Gaara frags (25/30), and all those Black Market peasants :v

Maybe my team is in fact really really bad, and that's lowering my power :v xDD

That's good that your group is working on it, but that's probably the reason if you're comparing yourself to people of the same level from higher groups (my group is about to be level 9, group skills will increase to 45 shortly after). Well, I was just using Akatsuki as an example, but a 5-star ninja you can grind is better than 3-star of one you can't, for now in terms of battle power (I run 4-star Tobi and Kakashi, 2-star GNW Neji).

You definitely don't want to just fight exam 80 head on. I used Fire main, Ino, Neji, Kakashi. You basically will make Sasuke kill his own team, and permanently control him as well. What do you mean you're not using them? The runes on summons you don't use, still give you stats.

If you're free pulling, it'll only be a matter of time before you get a designated rare of that treasure. It's like refinements and although I don't know the specific cap (or if there is one), the average is 40-60 pulls. What I meant regarding your group was, talk with your entire group and see if they want to join a bigger group altogether, otherwise, start recruiting :P.

I tried a control team, with Tayuya, Kabuto, Main and Ino, although, as I said, they kill me with 2 moves for each character... that's 2 rounds and I'm done. I wasn't aware of this whole runes -> power distribution system when I started giving runes to the single one summon, and a bad habit developed out of that xD

I get rares... like Pakkun, Blue Snake, Eagle King... I got maybe 2 purples, a ton of runes (lvl 1), and a ton of blue summons... nothing more :/ The same with Treasure pulls. The only 3 stars I got were... oh sorry only Baki, whom I'm not even using :/

All the people I see get Karin, Shizune from their very first draws, I got Kiba -.-

You can't win with my bad luck.... Why is there even a chance of drawing 1* shino from a Tendo treasure? :v

Well, getting back to the subject at matter, the only thing I can do more atm is getting those runes?

You should definitely focus more on refining since the refining event is currently active so exploit the crap out of it as much as possible.

Refining does help in increasing overall BP as well as give you an edge in fights, so yes, if that is your only available option, go for it.

With this event I used 5 refines runes to get... nothing... this is crap... or maybe I do not understand this event xD
