Ninja Time Stat Training Guide

Level is not the same as stats. Bosses and exams check Vitality, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Chakra, Genjutsu and Agility. Hand Signs do not have a dummy — skip them when you plan a session.

The right-hand XP ticks tell you which pool just moved. If nothing ticks, you are on the wrong dummy or the wrong clan for Genjutsu.

What stats are

Seven pools train. Vitality is health. Attack and Taijutsu are melee. Ninjutsu is elemental casts. Chakra is the B-bar cycle. Genjutsu is Red Eyes only. Agility is foot travel and chakra jump — mounts do not count.

Use the method column as your default. Sit-ups (hold F) are for Vitality while you wait on a five-minute boss, not for a whole evening.

Name Unlock Notes
Vitality (HP) Sit-ups / squats (hold F) or tank dummy hits Raises max health. Train between boss pulls so you are not wasting raid windows.
Attack M1 chains on training logs Plain melee XP. Pair with a weighted vest from the Academy shop for a small bonus.
Taijutsu M1 dummy attacks and close-range clan melee Fighter, Monkey and Yellow Thunder kits level this fastest.
Ninjutsu Cast elemental jutsu on cooldown (Z / X / C) Every successful cast ticks XP on the right of the screen. Spam your cheapest Z-slot between fights.
Chakra Hold B to recharge, then dump jutsu The empty-to-full cycle itself grants Chakra XP. Do not stand still with a full bar.
Genjutsu Use Red Eyes clan genjutsu repeatedly Only Red Eyes lines (Meteor, Teleporter, Raven, Black Flames, Intangible) can raise this stat.
Agility Sprint, chakra jump (J) and wall-run Mount travel does not count. Run the village wall loop or the mountain path on foot.

How to train

Alternate twenty M1 hits, one cheap Z jutsu, then a B recharge. That three-step loop moves Attack, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Chakra together. Sprint the village wall for Agility between pulls.

  • Genjutsu only moves when a Red Eyes clan move lands — Fireball does not count.
  • Weighted Academy clothing helps Attack slightly; it is not a substitute for logs.
  • Private servers with a short /spawn timer beat public dummy camping after level 40.

Training routes

Academy mats until Genin, southern pier bosses until 40, then a private-server world boss on a short timer. Do not stand in the Leaf square hitting air.

Academy loop (levels 1–20)

Stay on the Training Academy mats. Alternate 20 M1 hits, one Z-slot jutsu, then a B-charge. Graduate to outer logs once Genin unlocks.

Southern pier farm (levels 15–40)

Clear Traitor → Demon Brothers → Icy on their 5-minute timers. Use leftover cooldown to dump jutsu into the nearest dummy so Ninjutsu keeps moving between pulls.

Private-server grind (40+)

Ask a host to /spawn a mid-tier world boss on a short timer. One type of enemy, one jutsu line, until the mode bar and the stat you care about both fill.

Training FAQ

The questions that show up every week in Discord.

Can I train Hand Signs?
No. Hand-sign speed has no training dummy or hold-F exercise. It only moves with specific clan nodes, so ignore it when planning a session.
Why is my Genjutsu stuck at zero?
You are not on a Red Eyes clan. Spin for Meteor, Teleporter, Raven, Black Flames or Intangible, then use those clan moves — Ninjutsu casts will not raise Genjutsu.
Do mounts count as Agility training?
No. Summoned Dog / Bird travel does not grant Agility XP. Dismount (X) and run or chakra-jump if that is the stat you are chasing.
Is there a faster way than holding F?
Sit-ups are only efficient for Vitality. Attack, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu all level faster on dummies and live enemies. Use F while you wait for a boss respawn, not as your whole session.
