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.

Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

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

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

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.

[nodrog]

Doesnt seem very good, it seems like a better version of the old snipers who do damage and then heal themselves. Its too selfish an effect

[r3vo]

Kushanku 2.0 or Russula 2.0… instead of giving these older heroes a proper buff we are ought to buy a new guy, again. Besides the stats I am not really impressed, but we will see, if he can be useful on offense and defense.

[Dr_Evil_Genius]

I don’t feel confident in using ANY Ninja on Defense (except Garnet from back in the day). This Ninja is quirky, but definitely not one to go chasing.

[PlayForFun]

The hero card is updated with the changes.
Polls are now enabled.

[ahbombim]

I feel this Ninja is ok, since she make 2 damage every skill.

[Skeens]

Not sure why people don’t see how great this hero is for offense. Her special is devastating at 3 and she looks badass. My first pull from coins I got in the tower. 2nd pull sucked I should’ve waited til tomorrow.

[Blaine]

Generally don’t think the hero is that good. 3rd charge is too slow really.

Artwork is amazing in my opinion though.
Feels more collectible than useable

[Wahoo78]

400 percent damage at 6 tiles with that attack stat is useful. Seems like an updated Racoon ninja would have been nice to have the mindless here too, or at least something else. Will see if the increased protection for this new one will make the hiding skill more noticeable. Really an afterthought with the Racoon, his is all about the 6 tile mindless.

[Oxide]

Another change from Beta.
Aether Power: Damage Reduction → Special Boost.

Tagging @djp1997

[PlayForFun]

Thx, I have also added this to OP too.

[Bobblez]

All the new rogue ninjas should have great survivability! Permanent 35% dodge chance with 3 ninjas. Plus with her dmg reduction, she should have extra survivability. Also, it seems like her dmg reduction may stack with other dmg reduction buffs bc the icon is different. Worth checking out.

Got super lucky in getting two Satsuis off three coins! Will go well with Malum and Sawano. Just thinking about who can fit as a 5th hero.

[milkyjoe001]

Pretty underwhelming to me. A little more initial dmg & also a little more dmg upon resurfacing from hiding is needed or staying hidden for 3 turns. As is, nah, not for me.

[Mika]

What Am I missing here… She does 400% dmg at 6 tiles plus hidding with 30% dmg reduction plus descent dmg to all who used the special… plus 30% strpnger special skill for the first special, maybe even t
a second one… That seem like a great fast sniper… espetially with those beefy stats…

Secons charge is 425 to 3 targets, 60% srvuvability and soli hit to who use the special… this is a great special at average speed.

And what to say for the 3x special… devastating, albeit used rarely…

Plus that passive Lone and a great class for a sniper… What’s not to like here?

And i got here on a single pull with coina from the tower chests.

Did she get a buff after the poll?

[NewbieOne]

Something is off with this hero, obviously, like others mentioned. 400% to one target only at first charge doesn’t say much. If it was 500% another story. It should have been 500% first charge, 475% second charge and 450% third charge. And reduced damage for each charge to all heroes not only the caster.

[NewbieOne]

Hotm Zed might even be stronger lol. Considering that ninja’s and especially this one are not for defence.

[ahbombim]

I think she is good, and the best skill is charge 2.

I think all have a mind that hidden in a hole will not gain any mana, but Satsui skills do not say that.

The next reasom is she may making damages to the enemies, however, i believe these damage could be increased another 80%.

[NewbieOne]

Satsui attack doesn’t even bypasses defensive buffs.
Also the reduced damage could change to the caster 1 charge, caster and nearby allies 2 charge and to all allies 3 charge.

[Rodrigooa25]

Geez, you complain about everything, nothing is ever good for you, I in…
