Newbie Help
Welcome to the world of shinobi! At the start of the game, every player faces many questions: which clan and element to choose, how to develop your character, where to get experience and money, and what additional systems will help strengthen your shinobi. This article is a brief guide to the main aspects of the game and will help you figure out where to start developing your character.
Clan
A clan is one of the most important parts of character development, determining unique techniques and gameplay features. Each clan has its own set of mechanics, abilities, and features, so the choice of clan directly affects the playstyle.
If you are already familiar with various Naruto mods, you might get the impression that attention is paid only to a few most famous clans. However, in the game, significant attention is paid to each clan: all of them have unique mechanics, a large number of their own techniques, and interesting features. However, several clans are not available for selection from the very beginning — these are premium clans. They can be purchased for donate currency or obtained absolutely free through alternative methods. You can learn more about how to get them in the «Shop» article.
A complete list of available clans and their detailed descriptions are presented in the «Clan Techniques» article.
Element
The element determines the set of elemental techniques of the character and is another important element of their development.
Fire is well suited for farming due to its ability to deal damage to groups of enemies. Water is especially effective in PvP and has a large number of tools for crowd control. Lightning, Earth, and Wind have more versatile applications and are well-suited for different areas of gameplay.
You can learn more about each element, its techniques, and features in the «Elements» article.
Character Stats
Character development is directly related to stats, which determine the effectiveness of various types of attacks, survivability, and other shinobi parameters.
A complete list of stats and a detailed explanation of their influence are presented in the «Stats» article.
How to earn experience?
Experience is necessary to level up your character and unlock access to new game features. You can get it in various ways: by completing quests, killing NPCs at points of interest, completing Challenges, as well as by killing NPCs in dungeons — Catacombs, Uzumaki Temple, and Blood Prison.
How to earn money?
Money is used to buy various items and develop the character. The main sources of income are quests, points of interest, Challenges, selling resources to the buyer in the Shinobi Shop, fishing, and dungeons — Catacombs, Uzumaki Temple, and Blood Prison. An additional way to earn money is trading between players.
Secondary character leveling
In addition to directly leveling up and developing basic stats, the character can be strengthened using additional systems.
Artifacts allow you to increase character stats and gain additional effects.
Weapons can be upgraded in the Forge: sharpening increases their damage, and inlaying allows you to add additional effects. Some clans have their own systems that replace or complement standard weapon development mechanics.
For example, the Inuzuka clan has a dog shelter system where a character's personal dog can receive various unique buffs, as well as differ in name and coat color.
The Hyuga clan, instead of standard weapon sharpening and inlay systems, uses its own Juken system, which allows you to receive additional boosts for clan techniques and close combat.
Reincarnation
After completing the final story arc — the Land of Iron — the player gains access to the reincarnation system.
Reincarnation allows you to reset your character's level in exchange for permanent advantages for further development. The system increases the chances of gaining experience and allows you to choose unique perks, gradually forming a more specialized character build.
You can learn more about the reincarnation mechanic and available benefits in the «Reincarnations» article.
