Naruto Arena
Your #1 Naruto Online Multiplayer Game
Hello everyone,
So, I decided not to make too many changes for this Balance, my idea isn't to bring new characters into the META, but rather to just nerf the ones that have been causing problems recently.
In about 4/5 days, I'll be releasing a new update (Balance Update 1.3.7) that will bring:
- 1 New Character (Spoilers: Appears in the Chuunin Exams)
- 3 Changes for the Sound Genin Ninjas (2 Reworks included)
- Optimizations/Changes for control-type genjutsu users
- A few other boosts in general
In this upcoming update, I'll also be announcing the first Official Naruto Arena Classic event for the Wars scene, which will be made as a Draft Tournament (you'll be able to choose your group, its name, and participate).
This event will include 8 teams, each with 5 players. Note that: Every player registered for the Draft Tournament will gain an Alternative Account.
Alternate accounts include the following benefits:
- All characters unlocked.
- NO ACCESS to Quick Game or Ladder Game. (Only Private Games.)
- Can only be matched against other alternative accounts.
Personally, I want to see how interested players are in participating in a team-based tournament like this one. I believe this is the right time to start something like that, and if everything goes well, the next event will include more teams and registered players, and maybe even other tournament formats with more matches to compete in. If it doesn't go well, this event will be discontinued, and we'll keep our focus only on Ladder Events.
Soon, we'll open registration for this event, alongside the new update.
Also, only the winrates of the characters receiving nerfs or tweaks in this update will be reset.
Balance:
- Nerfs: Uchiha Sasuke (S), Yamashiro Aoba (S), Nidaime Hokage, Orochimaru (S), Hiruko Sasori (S), Sasori of the Red Sand (S), Hyuuga Neji (S).
- Tweaks: Uzumaki Naruto (S), Chiyo (S).
- Optimizations: Cursed Seal Sasuke, Gaara Rehabilitated.
