Are you sick of being attacked by other rival clans?  Or perhaps it’s the same damn ninja relentlessly attacking you over and over again.  Finding your ninja all beaten up and hiding in the shadows everytime you log into Ninjas Live can be disheartening, especially when you take a look at your win/loss stats.  Don’t worry – with a little bit of strategy and planning, you can easily turn the tables, so that your ninja can seek justice.

If you are getting attacked frequently, the chances are that you are getting farmed, meaning other ninjas are specifically choosing you because you’re an easy target to loot money from.  Your first priority should be to beef up your defenses as quickly as possible.

Increase your Clan Size

The easiest and cheapest way to make your ninja stronger is to increase the number of ninjas in your clan.  You can do this in a couple of ways.

First, you want to get your clan code on as many comment walls as possible.  So, go into your attack list and click on the names of ninjas on your attack list and post a comment on their wall, requesting to join forces and including your clan code.  Do this for every ninja that you see, except those who’ve been attacking you.  You want to keep them out of your clan so that you can attack them later on.

Another great way to get more clan members is to post your clan code on Ninjas Live forums and websites, such as the Academy.  This will help make sure you have a steady stream of new clan members to add.

Generally, your goal is to get as many clan members as your current level allows.  The maximum number of clan members you can have is calculated by your current level multiplied by 5.  So if you are at level 25, then you can have a maximum of 125 clan members.  So aim to max out your clan numbers.  Sheer numbers is sometimes enough to discourage people from attacking you.

Strengthen your Dojo

Now that you have a good clan size, you have to equip them properly.  This does NOT mean spending all of your money on the most expensive items and having a massive dojo upkeep cost.  You need to make sure you’re saving enough money to constantly upgrade your clients and build up your income.  Remember, with a larger clan size you can have more attack and defensive power overall just by increasing the quantity of your weapons, rather than quality.

So, if you have lots of expensive weapons, techniques and spells, you should sell them to free up your upkeep costs.  With the money you receive from selling your expensive items, buy as many high value, low cost items as you can.  Ideally, you should have one weapon, technique and spell for every ninja in your clan.

Look for dojo items with low upkeep costs, but have good attack / defensive value.  Some of the popular weapons are Assassin Daggers and Master Sais.  For techniques, Iron Palms and Dragon Punches are good choices.  And for Spells, Healing and Water Wall offer good defensive value.

What if I Don’t Have Any Money

If you don’t have income coming in from clients and you have nothing saved in the bank, it gets a little more challenging.   But, you can still easily turn things around by doing the following things.

First, you want to sell off all of your expensive dojo items so that you have a good positive income flow.  Next, save up your money and spend them on building up your clients.  You should be utilizing all of your client slots and building up to at least 3 stars for each income client.  After that, you can start looking at allocating your money towards strengthening your dojo.

All the while you should be building up your clan size using the methods discussed above.  You should also be putting your money in your bank often to prevent other players from farming you.  You’ll lose more from getting looted than the 10% you spend on depositing to the bank.  Plus, you won’t be benefiting other players.

My final tip is, if you are having a hard time with other ninjas attacking you while you are building up your clan and clients, consider camping.  The fresh air and tranquility will take your mind off of losing.  No seriously, camping is when you purposely keep your health points low so that the game doesn’t allow other ninjas to attack you anymore.  In order for this to happen, your health must be below 27 points.  So the next time you find your ninja all beat up, don’t go to the healer.  Instead, log in every so often to check how your ninja is healing up.  If your ninja’s health is higher than 27, then go attack someone to bring your health lower again.  This will help keep you out of trouble until you’re strong enough to fight back.

Well, hope you found this post helpful.  Feel free to leave your comments and suggestions below.  Happy hunting, ninjas!
