: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:

Just some spelling errors and typos, @PlayForFun. Understandably, today has been a busy day for you.

Also, that “all received damage is reduced”… does that mean that Kushanku can still receive damage while hidden?

Just the “trget” was mistyped ? If yes, then it is fixed.

About your question:
Yes, as I recall he receives damages in hiding too.

Thanks for answering the question. Didn’t want to assume that just because the ninja is hiding, that it would avoid damage.

Also, “case” on the last bullet point for each mana charge should be “caster”, right?

Yes, I have fixed it. Thx.

Got him from a single free pull… :slight_smile: At first I was not too excited, but I tested him at 3:70 and when he is hiding and the opponent shifts the mindless attack, his punishment gets triggered. Seems very cool with another mindless shifter like Bubbles and he can potentially bring a lot of fun to the table!

Or you could pair him with Russula for double wreckage…

Agreed, he is much better in attack than the first look would suggest, and a very fast mindless will be very useful in battle. Congrats on pulling him.

Just pulled him and trying to play with him. For he’s bit confusing. What’s the intent of hiding if he’s able to get hit. Also let’s say you get to the third charge, do they get the extra damage for each time their special goes off. Meaning if a hero goes off twice do they get 300+ damage twice. If I read correctly from above, does his mindless attack shift?

14

Is his mindless attack shifting? The description doesn’t say shifting, like Bubbles or Waddles. That shifting would make him much cooler. Thanks.

15

no its not - and this would be kinda op

still a very nice support hero

16

So it just more of the fact that you can get a mindless attack at very fast speed

17

Very Fast Mindless… Yes please!

No reason to use the last 2 options then? Fire the first tier every time

Exactly, that is his role. I would not worry much about the next charges.

That said a very fast mindless is imho a strong skill and he will be a great support hero. With his speed there is a good chance you neutralize aramis’ first charge for example.
