Yup, if we spend all Noburi's XP on Water Clones we'd get level 18, with 7XP left over. I'll post a training plan and just copy-paste it for the next update. Who knows, maybe if we're lucky we'll get enough XP for him to get Water Clone 21
Ok, fine, plus she has the Pangolin technique, which is major. But still, how in the world is a mediocre perma-genin serious competition for Hazo and Co, all of whom are above-average and FAR more experienced than village-sheltered ninja?
I think there are two counterarguments here, first, there isn't really such a thing as a "perpetual genin," and second, post great repalancing, real combat doesn't provide significantly more experience. Sweet Summer Child has 4 years of experience. Even if we assume an insane prodigy (i.e. 8 XP per day every day), that's still about a year's worth of experience. Given that our team has around a year worth of experience and are each probably better (and certainly more versitile) than SSC, it seems to make sense. The way combat and stuff works now is that it basically just gives you mildly more XP, and badass points (Thousand Yard Stare), not experience points. This is why we can intimidate people with our experiences.
Mostly because we've been at it for just over a year and a half, including the Academy. The permagenin has been at it for four years, thus her XP totals are actually higher than ours. Add in the fact that our survival basically depended on us spamming tools to punch way the hell above our weight class, and our stats actually end up remarkably less than what you'd expect from our performance. Frankly, our team only works as well as it does because Team Uplift has stuck together so long - just reassigning us as chunin is not going to work because our style is dependent on all the cool shit we make. The mediocre permagenin status is only competition if we remove all the stuff that makes our team work (read: cool seals and shit). Otherwise Sweet Summer Child is a lightly parbroiled and brutalized pancake thanks to Poor Man's Grand Fireball and Poor Man's Yellow Flash, plus or minus a living chakra battery for Nobby, or rolled over by Keiko's friends.
If Pangolin's Reach is as useful as we hope, then we level it. If not, I'd suggest leveling Capacity for now, since it's desperately needed for summoning Pangolins while still maintaining enough chakra to boost Weapons/TacMove.
The character sheets?
I would prefer to wait for Capacity 19, since we're 11XP off and I'm pretty sure the next update should get us that amount. Unless the plan is extremely bad or the days passed very small.
We can't access those, and only Keiko has equipment listed on her page. Everyone else is kinda sorta just hoping that we have something.
Oh wow I stand corrected, I'd assumed everyone had a list.
And in hindsight I realized that there's a publicly editable wiki. So yeah, time to go make that up to date - ish
Probably, yes. Would want the whole team to have a group goal of TacMove 30, to match with Akane. But that's a longer-term goal, and should be done secondary to other goals (e.g., Water Clone, Sealing) which may take priority.
Note to self: Do not level or research Sealing.
Relax. My current idea could actually feasibly be done. It's simply a refinement to the proper FAE I proposed. Getting it just right is the problem and you do not want to be around if the initial storage fails.
Note to self: Scream in Kagome
That is a very good point. Would heating it even be necessary? Just seal it up inside a box that's on fire, add macerator and stir.
Who are we leaving on "tending the burning crate filled with oil before we seal it" duty again?
We don't need to set the crate on fire, just put a burning log on top.
