This is a basic comprehensive guide to help beginner players build in-game battle skills and tactics to win in Shinobi Striker. To ensure victories, each player must know what is vital to strengthening their character and utilizing different gameplay methods. These methods that take place when playing and not playing can guarantee significant growth when playing.
Learning the Ropes
When learning how to play any new game, the first task is to know the basic control options. These are key to launching ninjutsu, counterattacking, or moving your character during gameplay. If you want to practice with controls and basics in the VR Ninjutsu Arena, there is a training session offered by Kakashi Hatake. Once you are comfortable, practice with them in actual missions and battles. This allows you to practice, master the controls, and battle head-on with opponents. If you want a quick synopsis of basic controls, check out the Exploring Hidden Leaf Village Post. It has quick access to the controls and their functions if you don’t have time to do the mission with Kakashi.
Choosing Your Role and Ninjutsu
Choosing your role is essential because it establishes what type of position you want to play for your team. When inside the Inn, players can select different jutsu to use during gameplay. Each jutsu belongs to a respective class based on its abilities. Within each role, it contains its respective jutsu, tools, and weapons. These items help build on each role type's specific combat abilities. Close combat fighters that use speed and rapid combos are attack users. Ranged players stay in the rear using attacks from afar that deal potent damage and have low max health. Defense types can protect allies with shield-like jutsu such as the Mud Wall Jutsu or Sand Shield Jutsu. Healers focus on the support and recovery of allies using jutsu like the Cellular Extraction Jutsu or the Truthseeker Orbs on the team and are durable. Make sure to choose the role you will play the most. This helps create an effective ninjutsu set based on your player's goals and role in battle. Most players have a primary role they play and usually specialize in. Once you have figured out the perfect role for yourself, test out your build in actual gameplay. See what things might need improved on and fix them.
Mastering Your Role
Roles are important and knowing about each role or class gives more insight into the possibilities of enemies' attacks or plans. Mastering the role you play most often is a good way to put you at an advantage over other classes. Players master their roles when they can achieve 100 online battles, this signifies that you can consistently win with your play type. Masters of each continuously look for ways to win because most high-ranked players have already achieved the trophy as well. However, what sets them apart is their skill in that role or class. Clashing with a player within the same class or role usually draws a stalemate-like situation during gameplay. Even for players who have been playing for years and have won different League events, it is more difficult to have a huge upper hand due to similarities in characteristics. This means that strategizing based on your own ability is the key to mastering your class. You will begin to notice this during the game the more you play.
VR Masters and DLCs
When trying to acquire jutsu, scrolls, weapons, or tools, the player must select a VR Master. To train under these masters, you complete missions and battles that give you XP. Build your XP and that can give you certain items to redeem in the Ninja Tools Shop or the Inn. The XP points also boost your ninja rank as well, so the more you play the more you will gain XP. DLCs are available for purchase on your gaming device. These DLCs allow you to obtain jutsu from the chosen DLC and apply it in the Inn once received.
Ninja World League and Other League-Oriented Events
In the Hokage’s Office, there are a few gameplay options for each shinobi to choose from. Online competitive events that are held in the Hokage’s Office are held in a rotation. They are the Ninja World League, Red & White Battle, Ninja World Face-Off, and the Ninja World Hero Festival. Players who achieve high rankings can gain esoteric scrolls and Ryo, build rank, and earn different titles and even a spot on the in-game billboard. These events have four main types of battles: combat, flag, base, and barrier which is also offered in the Quick Match option as well. The last gameplay option is the Survival Exercise. Which tests your combat abilities in a six-player free-for-all Chunin Exam-based competition. Players can play online in non-ranked gameplay or a Practice mode against random Naruto cast bots.
General Tips
The ultimate purpose of the game is to show your creative combat ability while having fun, so do try to enjoy the game. You might be playing with players who achieved the top-level ranking and ability determine the outcome, but there are many strategies you can use to maximize your performance in-game such as:

- Commencing the plan upon its creation is key to success, whether that be taking a lead on a flag or base to falling back and immediately recovering your allies if the heat is too hot.
- Do not go out on your own too much. Even if you think your player power scales to planetary in durability, you can get killed quickly if you aren't supported.
- Next, use your guard! This can be a can lifesaver and can tank some blows from tools and weapons and cancel a little bit of the effects from some ninjutsu. Once you use your guard, a counter or evasion plan should quickly follow with a clone jutsu or simply bailing it until you are ready to attack again.
- Practice wall running and kunai throwing, the more evasion techniques should come easy to you.
- Record games and watch your highlights to see where you can improve.
- Play with a team or on a microphone for better communication.
