:hugs: Family Bonus

Ninja Heroes have a family bonus for unique heroes of the same family.

Ninja Family
Bonus for 1 / 2 / 3 Heroes:

  • 5% / 10% / 15% chance to dodge normal attacks and Special Skills
  • 5% / 10% / 15% chance to counterattack with 60% / 90% / 120% of the damage received

The two effects have individual sequential processing. So one may not trigger while the other might.

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later. :slight_smile:


:thinking: Wondering About Your Personal Situation?

Feel free to discuss your team and roster here, and ask for advice from other Forum members.

If you’d like more extensive advice on sorting out your particular roster, I recommend creating a new thread in Gameplay Help & Tactics, and posting screenshots of your hero roster, along with your questions.

The hero card is updated with the changes.

Mark of Blood is not a terribly interesting mechanic, but it for all enemies combined with AoE bleeding for last charge and the fact this hero is Barbarian makes it more interesting and potentially deadly when one sees the amount of bleeding damage for the last charge.

Looks like lady gaga

Will be interesting to use against Titans, especially Mythics, since stacks are permanent. And should be usable along with Gastille?

Biggest question about her design is why does she have Argentum hair?

Pairs well with the multiple MMs that cause bleed when they attack

Apparently so she can be stealthy at disco party.

Otherwise she can be handy on titans even without firing special since she’s a Barbarian, but it takes some time to get stacks. And those stacks should stack with Gastille.

While testing the rng in my final attempt at Bramble :face_with_rolling_eyes: got her on pull number 10 … not sure I need a titan hero, my red team is pretty solid already, but offensively I’m happy to find a use for her.



Good luck everyone!

awesome! I am still maxing mine, 4/20 so far, or there about.
AR is helping, and the trainer heroes we get later from costume will actually be nice (and the 3* feeders I also get from the portal).

Can’t wait to LB her and +20 and start using her
