Naruto Arena
Your #1 Naruto Online Multiplayer Game
Hello, everyone! The time has finally come to release this Major Balance 1.3.0, and I believe it marks a step forward in the history of Naruto Arena Classic.
Unfortunately, I believe this will be the last time the characters on the first page will be changed (except for those not mentioned on this list). However, I'm confident that with these adjustments, many new options will now be available for beginner players, as well as for higher-level players who aren't yet fully accustomed to the newer characters.
My goal was to make each character worth picking, rather than just being another outdated starter option for your initial gameplay.
And yes, we're aware that some characters may require a few hotfixes soon, but I think that's a risk worth taking.
Also, we'll soon have new missions to unlock custom borders so that players who have already completed all existing missions will have new reasons to keep playing beyond the Ladder. Keep in mind that custom border missions cannot be PURCHASED and you'll have to complete them manually. (And I highly recommend you to complete these missions because, in the near future, I plan to release special characters that also won't be available for purchase, which means you'll need to complete these special border missions, okay?)
More details about today's update will be shared on our official Discord.
