Wagarashi Fast Start Guide: From Noob to Chunin!

Ready to leap into the action-packed world of Wagarashi, the new Naruto-esque Roblox adventure by CLOUDSU? This guide is your express ticket from a fresh-faced Genin to a capable Chunin, fast-tracking your early game progression. We'll cover the essential combat skills, the quickest leveling methods, how to gear up, understand your elemental affinity, master handsigns, and even snag some freebies with codes – all based on direct gameplay insights!

Phase 1: Mastering the Fundamentals (Your First Hour)

Your initial moments in Wagarashi are crucial for building a strong foundation.

Tip 1: Get a Grip on Combat Controls

Before you even think about ranking up, you need to be comfortable fighting.

• M1 Combos (Left-Click): Your bread-and-butter. String these together for consistent damage. Note the final hit often causes knockback.
• Aerial Heavy Attack (Space + Right-Click): A powerful downward slam from the air. Excellent for surprise attacks or breaking an opponent's stance.
• Air Combos (Left Control + M1): Launch your enemies skyward and keep them there with a flurry of aerial attacks. This is key for maximizing damage.
• The Crucial Grip (B Key): When an opponent is vulnerable (stunned, mid-air after a launch), press B to perform a grip. This deals good damage and, importantly in PvE, grants EXP for each successful grip. This is vital for early leveling.

Action Point: Spend 15-20 minutes familiarizing yourself with these moves on the nearest training dummy or by taking on your very first, easy PvE mission.

Tip 2: Understanding Your Character & Basic Gear

Knowledge is power, and so is a decent sword.

• The Info Panel (Backquote Key): Press the Backquote key () (usually below Esc`) to open your character menu. Pay attention to your Rank (your level), and Grips (needed for later rank-ups).
• The Village Seller: Seek out the NPC shopkeeper, typically found near village entrances. They wear dark clothing. Interact (E) and "See the shop."
• Essential Early Purchases:
  • Kunai (350 Ryo): A versatile starting weapon.
  • Flak Jacket (2000 Ryo): Prioritize this for the +20 Health and +20 Chakra. It significantly boosts survivability.
  • (Optional) Katana (500 Ryo): If you prefer a sword, but the Kunai is a solid, cheaper start.
• Equipping: Drag your purchased items from the left inventory list to the corresponding slots on your character sheet in the Backquote menu.

Action Point: After your first successful mission, aim to buy a Kunai and then save up for the Flak Jacket.

Phase 2: The Grind to Chunin (Ranks 1-13)

This is where you'll spend the bulk of your early game, focusing on efficient leveling.

Tip 3: The PvE Mission Loop – Your XP Goldmine

The fastest way to gain Ranks (levels) as a beginner is through PvE missions.

1. Create a Squad: Even if playing solo, you need to be in a squad to access missions.
2. Access Missions: Open the Missions menu.
3. Select PvE: Change the Type to PVE.
4. Queue Up: Hit Queue. The game will teleport you to a mission instance.
5. The Objective: Your goal is usually to defeat all Rogue Ninjas before the timer runs out.
6. Maximize EXP: Remember to Grip defeated enemies whenever possible for that extra EXP boost. This significantly speeds up leveling.
7. Rewards: Successful completion yields Ryo (currency), EXP, and sometimes Scrolls.

Action Point: Continuously run PvE missions. Focus on efficient clearing and gripping every enemy.

Tip 4: Unlocking Your Elemental Affinity & First Skills

As you rank up, you'll earn Skill Points (SP).

• Chakra Paper (750 Ryo): Purchase this from the Village Seller. Use it from your hotbar to reveal your Primary and Secondary elemental proficiencies (check the Backquote menu; you might need to relog for it to update).
• Spending SP: In the Backquote menu, click the small arrow (>) on the right of your character sheet to open the skill tree.
• Strategic Investment: Early on, consider putting points into:
  • Your Primary Element: If you know it, investing here can give you a damage edge. Lightning is shown as a strong early option in the video.
  • Kenjutsu: If you're using a Katana or Kunai for melee.
  • Taijutsu: If you prefer unarmed combat or get a fist weapon.
• Unlocking Skill Cards: Every ~2 SP spent presents three skill/talent cards. Choose one. Prioritize skills that fit your chosen weapon and element. "Lightning Strike" and "Firefly" (Aburame clan skill) are shown as early unlocks.

Action Point: Use Chakra Paper around Rank 5-7. Start investing SP into one or two synergistic trees. Look for low-tier, effective combat skills.

Tip 5: Mastering Handsign Training for Faster Casting

Slow handsigns will get you killed. Train them early!

• The Technique: Select a skill with handsigns. As the animation starts, immediately deselect it (press the same key or click off). A blue flash indicates success.
• Consistency is Key: Spam this select/deselect method. The more you do it, the faster your base handsign speed becomes. Skills that take longer to cast initially are good for this, but even short ones contribute.

Action Point: Dedicate a few minutes every so often, or between missions, to handsign training. It pays off massively.

Phase 3: Expanding Your Horizons (Approaching Chunin & Beyond)

Once you're comfortable and ranking up steadily, explore these advanced beginner tips.

Tip 6: Efficient Travel with Campfires

Wagarashi's map is vast.

• Discover & Activate: Find unlit campfires across the world. Interact (E) to "discover" them, lighting them and adding them to your fast travel network.
• Teleport: Interact with any discovered campfire to open a menu and teleport to other known locations.

Action Point: Discover campfires in new areas you visit. This saves immense travel time.

Tip 7: The Rogue Ninja Path (Optional)

If you want to play with friends from different villages without restriction:

• Seek the Outcast: Explore ruined areas or bandit hideouts for a specific NPC.
• Abandon Your Village: Interact and choose "I'm Ready" to scratch your headband. You'll become a Rogue Ninja.

Action Point: Consider this if village allegiance is hindering your ability to play with friends. This is a permanent choice for that character slot!

Tip 8: Rank 13 – Becoming a Chunin!

Upon reaching Rank 13, you will automatically be recognized as a Chunin. This is a significant milestone and often a prerequisite for accessing more advanced content or features.

• Grip Requirements: Remember, future ranks beyond Chunin will likely require you to have accumulated a certain number of Req. Grips. Start thinking about PvP or events that award these if you plan to progress far.

Tip 9: Don't Forget the Codes!

Free stuff is always good!

• Rank 5+ Requirement: You usually need to be at least Rank 5.
• How to Redeem: Click the Gear icon (top-left) and enter codes in the "Type Codes Here" box.
• Example Codes (from video, may expire):
  • ItsMeBuilderboy (Clan Reroll)
  • UseCodeDessiYuki
  • OGVexxStaySwol
  • 3000PLAYERS1! (through 3000PLAYERS5!)
  • 4000LIKES! (These often give Clan Rerolls, which are fantastic for getting a clan that suits your playstyle.)

Action Point: Redeem codes as soon as you hit Rank 5.

Onwards to Greatness!
