Most Important Factor in Battles

[The Silent Killer]

So in Naruto there are many factors in battle that can change it's outcome. Overall what do you think is most likely to decide a battle between two shinobi?

Please do troll about CIS/fanboyism/PIS.

Offence is basically how much damage they can do
Defence is how well they survive attacks
Speed is how fast they can move in battle
Range is how far they can attack from
Information is what they know that's relevant to the battle
Intelligence is coming up with ways to beat the opponent
Stamina is how long they can fight for
Affinity is how well your jutsu matches to the opponents ie water uses have the edge against fire users, sharingan is bad against hidden mist jutsu etc.

It's all about who has the most plot on their side.

One thing that DBZ or any other epic anime has taught us is Speed>>>>>Anything else

Intelligence. As someone once said, "Someone can have a sword but not know how to use it, while a master can throw a pebble and win the battle," I think that's how it goes.

Battle experience would change a lot

 

[Voltron]

Most important factor: not dying!!

 

[Tobirama Uzumaki]

Having A Sharingan or being Naruto... Those are two simple ones I can think of.

 

[Silent Zetsu]

Most important factor is information.

 

[Lucidus]

hmmm many of these make a gd ninja but i personally would choose

speed , intelligence and stamina

 

[enthaim]

It's not any 1 thing so that would be a difficult choice to make. Or perhaps, it varies with the situation.

But on a serious note one of the most important and biggest factor in a battle is having information on the enemy beforehand. For example we all know sakura without the antidote to Sasoris poison would've of lost that battle even with chiyos help. The antidote allowed Sakura to get the necessary hits she need to get in and to open up attacks for chiyo and to heavily damage sasori. The skill bewteen sasori and sakura is massive but with Sakura being prepared she was able to defeat Sasori. Also , the same with Shikamaru and Hidan with Shikamarus IQ and battle planning allowed him to defeat a more powerul Hidan.

Your mind is the most powerful resource that you shall ever possess

Everything else is done through actions made through the brain, making intelligence the most important.

 

[zesto]

no i am serious, ANYBODY WHO VOTES FOR ANYTHING ELSE AND NOT INTELLIGENCE ARE SOME COMPLETE LUNATICS.

Intelligence

Gaara vs rocklee proved speed isn't everything anyways stamina is the most important simply cuz without It u wouldn't last long in a fight even if ur phyically stronger then the opponent

 

[Dęvîa Puęrî]

Also intelligence cuz in a fight is clearly not all about strength
If u can outthink ur opponent and out menover him or her u win (exp shikimaru vs temari)

Information is semi important in naruto verse cuz u can use it to ur advantage even if u have no information prior to the fight u can analyze during the fight to find weak point (exp sasuke vs deidara)
