Picking your element
TipsWhen you enter the game for the first time you are taken straight to an element selection screen. Each element comes with its own attack patterns and abilities, meaning two players with different elements will play very differently. Take a moment to look at what each one offers before you confirm your choice.
- Your element controls both how you attack and which abilities you have access to.
- If you want to roleplay as a specific legendary ninja character, look up which element matches that character before you choose.
- Different elements have different attack patterns.
- Up to 20 players share the same world, so you will see other elements in action.
Making progress through quests
Tips
Quests give you clear goals and are the primary way to grow your character. Completing them unlocks elemental abilities and equipment.
- Find quests through NPCs or notice boards in the world.
- Finishing a quest can unlock new elemental abilities or pieces of equipment.
Staying alive in PvP
TipsPvP lets you test your element against real opponents in the same world.
- Press X to lock onto your opponent so you do not lose track of them when they move.
- Use F to block incoming hits.
- Dash with Q when you need space to reposition.
Getting the most out of roleplay
Tips
You can use chat and emotes to build stories with other players.
- Use B to pull up emotes and poses that help sell whatever scene you are playing out.
- Chat in character to bring your legendary ninja persona to life for the people around you.
- The world holds up to 20 players at once, which means there are always potential RP partners in the same space.

Common questions
FAQHow many players can be in the same world at once?
Up to 20 players share one server. That applies whether you are questing, fighting in PvP, or roleplaying together.
Do I have to do PvP, or can I just roleplay?
The game supports both completely. You can spend your entire time roleplaying with other players using chat and emotes without ever entering a PvP fight.
