Basics• A: This section displays your player

information. It shows your avatar, username, ninja rank, ladder level and experience, ladder rank, win-loss record, and win-loss streak, all in that order.

• B: This section has three boxes for you to drag and drop the ninjas you wish to use in your team. Only when you have selected three ninjas may you begin a match.

• C: This is the character section. Each page has 21 characters on it and you use the white arrows to scroll through the pages. Some characters may appear grayed-out and you will not be able to drag these characters into your team. These characters are mission characters and you must complete their mission before you may use them.

• D: This is where individual character information is displayed. By clicking on a character's icon in section 'C' this section will appear. The primary function of this section is so that you may study that character's skills.

• E: Information about a skill.

• F: The different types of game play.

In-Game Screen• A: This section displays the 'press when

ready' button which is how you end your turn (this will say 'opponent's turn' when it is not your turn), a red and white bar which is your turn timer, and your chakra pool. There are four types of chakra, Taijutsu (green), Bloodline (red), Ninjutsu (blue), and Genjutsu (white). The 'T' is your current total chakra in your pool. You will receive a number of random chakra equal to how many of your ninjas were alive at the end of your last turn.

• B: This section displays your team and the current health of each ninja in it.

• C: This section displays your opponent's team and functions just like section 'B'.

• D: This is where your characters' skills are displayed. Each character can use one skill per turn, provided you have sufficient chakra of the appropriate types to pay their costs.

• E: This section is exactly like section 'E' of the Character Selection screen.

• F: This section is where you can chooses to surrender a match, open a chat window with your opponent, or adjust the sound settings.

End Your Turn• Once you have decided what skills your team

will use and on whom it is time to end your turn. Do this by clicking on the 'Press When Ready' button in section 'A'. This will bring you to the Skill Queue.

• This is where you will spend specific chakra as random chakra by clicking the up or down buttons next to each type. It is also where you can decide the order your skills will happen in. Skills occur in order from left to right and they may be repositioned in the queue by dragging and dropping the icons. After spending any necessary random chakra costs and ordering your skills press the O.K. button to complete your turn (note that this is still part of your turn and your turn timer will continue to run down while in this screen). If you want to reconsider or change something you chose to do press the Cancel button to exit this screen. If you run out of time before completing your turn, your characters will not use any skills that turn.
