Teh terrible thing about randoms is almost all the time, no one is left to defend the flag. Truly a big factor in the game is playing with a troupe. Great video as always, holy materia: Chill and bossa nova vibes.
Great video, man. Hopefully players actually take notes from this. I’ve been playing since day 1 & as a defense main, my favorite objective is defending the flag in flag battle. It’s just the most fun mode in the game to me because of the strategic aspect of it but it just gets boring at times because most players don’t have any level of common sense or game sense. They treat every game mode like they’re all combat battle. I think the biggest issue is just that most of the player base have this mindset of prioritizing TRYING to capture the enemies flag to try to win over prioritizing defending your own flag to make sure you don’t lose. I’m perfectly fine with a draw but I can’t stand the unnecessary losses. 90% of my flag battles, I’m the only one stuck defending. The other issues are that people don’t understand their roles, positioning or something as simple as taking advantage of the scrolls for the team advantage. I agree with Flag battle being a mode where a balanced team is vital. I personally like a staggered setup with my Attacker on the front line pressuring the enemies flag but also knowing when he needs to pull out for healing. Being one of the fastest types in the game, along with jutsus to move around quick, he should be able to get in & out quickly when needed. I like my Range playing the mid-fight a little bit behind him to help keep enemies off the Attacker so he can get the flag & get out of there but also watching for the other teams players trying to sneak over to our flag. His ranged jutsus will help keep them at bay for a bit. I like my Support between my flag and my Range type so that he can be a backup in the mid-fight with the range, looking out for enemies on the way as well but he’ll be close enough to be able to provide hopefully healing for the Attacker & Range while they’re out there to keep them sustained but he’ll be close enough to our home base to get back to the Defense if he needs help or if the Defender needs help on the flag. Being that he’s so squishy but so crucial to the team, I don’t want him too far out. And since the Defense type is the slowest, I never want him going after the flag because he’s just going to get slowed down further plus he has the best moves for defending the flag so it just makes sense for him to stay guarding the flag. The maps are so massive, you need eyes everywhere. Not just at the enemies flag & your own flag. Knowing when to pull the formation back when the enemy is pushing too hard so you can have more of a group fight. And since most players don’t actually use mics in this game, use of the communication wheel is key. Actually listening when someone is asking for a “group up”. Using a “sign” when you notice an enemy moving in. Just little things to help the team out since you win & lose as a team. STOP TRYING TO GET THE ENEMIES FLAG WHEN YOU SEE AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN THAT YOUR OWN FLAG HAS BEEN TAKEN. This was a bit long winded but I get passionate about strategy haha Also the other good thing you pointed out which a lot will look over is how the Defense type should NOT be chasing down the flag if the enemy gets it because I’ve seen so many times where another enemy is just waiting at your base waiting for your flag to be retrieved then they’re gone with it by the time somebody tries to get back up to it.
Amazing video! I’ve always dreaded flag because I’m not good at it. With these strategies, I’m expecting that to change. Thanks for all this great info!
Great guide! Ran some matches the other day with a newer player and realized quickly that they didn’t understand the basics of flag battle. This video is inspiring me to do some healer based flag builds too because I had a sub reach out to me too about flag builds.
Man idk how you have flown under my radar for this long, one of the best shinobi striker channels out there. All of your videos have such chill vibes while providing very useful information. Keep doing you bro, we appreciate it.
I love this channel cause you provide so much info for new players and some solo players who haven't yet learned to fully support their team no matter what role they play. Now days the roles on flag can be so wildly various that any class can be a flag runner.
Thanks man! 😁 Yeah, you're right, any class can run the flag these days. The reason I'm such an advocate of Defense types defending is because no one can defend as well as they can.
Dude, so I got the advanced movement down lol. I was pressing them too early. Its like you have to press them at the perfect timing lol. Gonna apply it with some tips I picked up from here. Been digging ATK and SPT classes
Another banger of a video holy! when I was starting out playing ss there weren’t really any guides that focused on specific game modes so I’m glad to see newer players now have access to an easier time ps. THAT UPLOAD CONSISTENCY THO🔥🔥
Great stuff. I assume you’ll be doing one for each game mode in the near future? Would like to hear someone go into detail about base battle and combat battle so I can explain it better to my clan.
@@HolyMateria ty.. atk’s are starting to get smarter (just a lil). As of late all ninja are starting to take a more tactical/defensive approach to combat.. I know there’s a counter for everything... just wondering 😌
Range is probably the weakest class right now, and Defense is the most OP. But it really depends on your playstyle and what you prefer. For example, even though Range is underpowered right now, I'm still better with it than I am with Defense, because I've had more experience with it and it suits my playstyle better :)
@@YR-jg1gk lol they need to dedicate more time and effort into solo events and matches because finding good ppl to team with is more challenging than the game itself.. everytime I attempt to play team match they always team me with beginners and match us against Try Hard Die Hard Nerdy Ultimate Weeb Shinobi God Stacked Max prestige Master Clansman 😂
This may be kind of basic, but can you do a beginners guide for Combat battles? I'm just getting into this game and getting used to the game's controls and game modes and things like that.
For sure! I'm planning on covering all the main game modes 😁 Until I get to it, you can check out this combat guide from Hidden Rose. It's a bit more advanced, but it's still really good! th-cam.com/video/hZiPa7B3Gxo/w-d-xo.html
You can't choose which game mode you play. Quick play will randomly put you in a Combat, Flag, Base, or Barrier. And Ninja World League will have Combat and either Flag or Base, depending on the week.
The only thing I don’t like is when the defense type tries to run the flag 😂 like they already slow and the flag makes you slower, but that’s my opinion 💀
Teh terrible thing about randoms is almost all the time, no one is left to defend the flag. Truly a big factor in the game is playing with a troupe. Great video as always, holy materia: Chill and bossa nova vibes.
Thanks man! 😁 Yeah, one of the main things I'm trying to do is let people know that it's necessary for someone to defend the flag 😅

Man, I wish more players had your mindset! Thanks for watching! Hopefully we can get more people in the same page 😁
@@HolyMateria I highly doubt it but never hurts to hope 🤷🏾

🔥 I’m kinda happy I saw my name in one of those clips 😁
Thanks for helping me get the clips, Stxormy! 🙏🏾
Love it , as always ! keep it up
Thanks man! 😁
Omg I bowed to you at the lobby. I was wearing Tsunade’s outfit. I feel so starstruck
I was wondering if that was someone who knew about the channel! 😁 I tried to bow back, but my match started before I could find it 😅🙏🏾
@@HolyMateria I added you
Your my favorite TH-camr I like all your content keep up the work

Thanks! Yeah, I'll be doing similar videos on Base and Combat soon 😁
Thx man no one on my team help me so I was pissed and wanted to get a good idea thx
Gained 100 subs from the last time I looked you growing so fast
Gotta go fast
i got the game yesterday and i just play survival exercise bc im good at it somehow
Nice! Welcome to the Shinobi world! 😁
Congrats you hit 2k
Yeah, I just saw it! Thanks!! 😁
Your such a good youtuber I wish u got more views but u are still the best 💖
Omg hearted it
Nice video bro
Question; can Uchiha flame formation withstand Octopus Hug and Wood Dragon Justu?? 🤔
I know it can stop Wood Dragon, but I'm not sure about Octopus Hug. It should be able to stop it through 😁
@@HolyMateria ty.. atk’s are starting to get smarter (just a lil). As of late all ninja are starting to take a more tactical/defensive approach to combat.. I know there’s a counter for everything... just wondering 😌
Yeah, I think the standard "counter" to Flame Formation is to just throw a kunai at it before you attack.
I got a quick question I like range and defense but idk which one is more reliable and nice video 😃
Range is probably the weakest class right now, and Defense is the most OP. But it really depends on your playstyle and what you prefer.
For example, even though Range is underpowered right now, I'm still better with it than I am with Defense, because I've had more experience with it and it suits my playstyle better :)
Holy Materia ok thanks
Flag Battle with randoms
My Team: Runs for the flag and gets clapped
Enemy Team: Sends 2 or 3 ppl
Me: hmmm should I defend orrr just let them take it
😂🤣
Bro I understand how u feel fr
@@YR-jg1gk lol they need to dedicate more time and effort into solo events and matches because finding good ppl to team with is more challenging than the game itself.. everytime I attempt to play team match they always team me with beginners and match us against Try Hard Die Hard Nerdy Ultimate Weeb Shinobi God Stacked Max prestige Master Clansman 😂
@@YR-jg1gk which is why I only play survival
@@jodik3211 literally bro it’s frustrating as a prestige 5 I’m getting given breadsticks.
Bro that zabuza demon of the mist jutsu thing is so op bruh it’s so annoying playing against people with it.
Yeah, and now people run it with Hazen Strike and it's such an OP build 😔
Op🔥🔥
dang i might have to be the yellow flash/kakashi
This may be kind of basic, but can you do a beginners guide for Combat battles? I'm just getting into this game and getting used to the game's controls and game modes and things like that.

. . . I heard we had a discord? Is it a public server?
Yeah, it's public. The link is in the About section 😁
That darn Water Pillar, Sand Shield combo...
good vid
Bro what is that song it so chill
Do you mean the intro, or one of the background beats?
Holy Materia both
The beats are by Prod. Riddiman. The intro is " Dreamer" by Hopudoshi. Riddiman also did the beat on that song 😁
Nice
How do i load into flag battle? I wanna play it bc it looks fun and i just got the game
You can't choose which game mode you play. Quick play will randomly put you in a Combat, Flag, Base, or Barrier. And Ninja World League will have Combat and either Flag or Base, depending on the week.
@@HolyMateria oh ok tysm i was confused
If u buy the season pas so u get all the characters
You get all the characters from that pass. There are three. Seasons 1 and 2 each come with 9 characters, and Season 3 comes with 5 😁
I’m gonna buy Naruto (Boruto) or kakashi which one is better?
Kakashi is better for Flag. But it really depends on what class you use more: Attack or Range.
@@HolyMateria Thank you so much I bought Naruto but I’m gonna get kakashi next or maybe shisui
Yeah, Naruto is a good choice. His ult is good in every game mode. And his ninjutsu are some of the best for Base Battle , 😁
The only thing I don’t like is when the defense type tries to run the flag 😂 like they already slow and the flag makes you slower, but that’s my opinion 💀
Agreed! 😂
Subtarian and human Boulder tanks are excellent
W
I'm crap at flag battle 😅
Hahaha, Flag was my worst game mode for a while too 🤣
