To put things simply, there are two types of Jala in Ninjala, paid and free, and they are earned in two different ways. As may fans are sure to expect, paid Jala is obtained by spending real world money (at a rate of around $10 for 1,000 Jala), and that can be done through the Jala Shop found within this free-to-play game.

With respect to free Jala, the primary way to earn it is through Ninjala’s battle pass, which has a free and premium side. Indeed, Jala can be found as rewards on both sides of the pass, though players that do not purchase the Ninjala Pass (the premium side) will not receive very much of the currency. That said, fans that want to earn some Jala should just keep grinding games and leveling up their pass regardless of what side they are on.
To note, if a player is in possession of both types of Jala when they go to purchase a cosmetic item then the paid Jala will be spent first. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that in Japan paid Jala expires 150 days after purchase, though this is apparently not something that players in the rest of the world need to worry about.
One final thing to say is that Ninja Medals in Ninjala, which are earned through both standard play and the battle pass, also function a bit like a currency, though they are primarily used to unlock Shinobi Cards and enhance Assist Codes. However, Ninja Medals can be used at the Gumball Machine, which means that players may want to save their Jala for items in the Specialty Shop and plan to use Medals for spinning the machine.
Ninjala is available now on Switch.
