: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:

I just came back to this game and joined a casual alliance yesterday, just for them to release something like this. This hero is disgusting.

Just pulled him. Pretty straight forward damage dealer who also ignores minions. Since it’s a brand new ability, I’m hoping this also means ignoring minions by W3K costumes?

On a side note, one of the coolest card designs in the game IMO. Maybe it’s just refreshing after all these toons and fluffies.

I tend to agree. Ridiculous damage dealing special on top of ridiculous attack stat

Whenever I see the name Nomad, my brain goes here…

At least it’s not V-ger.

Where’s the protest?

@Petri This is too far this time, what possessed you guys to think releasing a hero who can singlehandedly kill an entire team was a good idea?

This is outrageous yet you make half-a**ed changes to other heroes crippling them - your team is a disgrace - this continues to get out of hand at a stupid rate.

.We all know everybody’s gonna spend lots to get him. And then in a month or 2, it’s going to be nerfed. So just be patient. :rofl:

I tell you what, they most certainly better be damn nerfed - this is the most insane one I’ve seen yet I think, the entire release is, they must be taking opioids.

Unless what we are seeing is the next step-up in power, bringing the arms race to a re-start, having everyone scrambling for the next batch of heroes to counter the new ninjas. As was with Serendite and Myo-in. It would not surprise me at all. (I remember when fearing Ruby, he could really mess up a team. I got him too late, and he doesn’t even put a dent in newer teams…)

Yeah, remember when the ninjas came out, they were really overpowered. Everybody complained about them.

He’s really good and hits hard.

Finally some heroes to get with megaminions and the 3WK costumes.

I don’t find him too op: his hardest hit is conditional and don’t forget that he doesn’t do extra damage with status effects. The normal hit 425% to three (2 charge) is similar to Scoria (420% to one and 300% to all the rest + silence) or Sparklight (430% to three + added effects like burning and inmune to new buffs), just to name two red heroes of the last months.

…except that his attack stat is 300 points higher than Scoria and 400 points higher than Sparky…so his 425% is going to hurt a lot more :slight_smile:

I was lucky enough to score this hero this morning and I am delighted! When I read the card I was excited about having a hero that deals with all the mega minions

2 Likes

So glad to have just pulled this guy! Now I can stop. I wanted Nomad and Iga and those are the only 2 ninjas I got!

Love the artwork of this hero too. I often use daemon on raids, so my plan is to use Nomad instead of Sparklight for the follow up.

Most people seem anti-snipe these days, but I still prefer to run 3-2 or 3-1-1 and take out enemies one at a time.

One of the attack stacks I’ve been playing with recently is Daemon-Toon Khagan-Daemon. I’m loving it. I’ll probably pair Nomad up with Pepperflame.
