Class Information

Purchase for 15,000 XP

The Ninja spawns with a golden sword, 4 shuriken items (of which only 3 can be thrown), a Smoke Bomb, and the ability Masterful Ascension.

  • Smoke Bomb can be used every 40 seconds and, when used, has a 7 blocks radius.
  • The Smoke Bomb can be right-clicked to be thrown, and will go off after 2 seconds, or left-clicked to be instantly cast.
    • Blinds and slows groups of players.
    • Standing in the smoke also grants the Ninja Speed II for the duration of the bomb.
    • Also grants the Ninja's teammates Speed II.
  • Shurikens can be used by aiming at an enemy with the cursor and right or left-clicking (2 second delay between each throw).
    • On right-click, three shurikens are thrown at a time for half a heart of damage, each dealing knockback
    • On left-click, three magic shurikens are thrown that will deal much less knockback, but will always inflict either slowness 1 for 3 seconds, or poison 1 for 2 seconds.
    • Shurikens are returned after 15 seconds from when one is thrown one at a time.
  • Masterful Ascension can be used with a right-click.
    • Grants the Ninja permanent Jump Boost II, which allows the Ninja to jump up 2.5 blocks, and somewhat reduces fall damage.
    • Can be disabled after 5 seconds.


Pros

  • Smoke Bomb can be used instantly, making it possible to evade fights if the going gets tough.
  • Slowness can lock down players and blindness can prevent critical hits.
  • Shurikens can be used to control enemies with knockback or slowness and poison.
  • Jump Boost II allows getting up high easily.


Cons

  • Shurikens have very low damage output and are difficult to confirm onto enemies.
  • Jump Boost II isn't useful to run away.

Tips & Tactics

  • Stay in a group to support your teammates by blinding the enemies.
  • The Smoke Bomb is great for getting teammates out of trouble if they're in a fight
  • The Smoke Bomb can be used to quickly gain control over mid and mid bases by blinding your enemies to hide your numbers.
  • If you're using your Smoke Bomb on a specific target rather than a group of enemies, lead your projection so that they run into it; to account for the fuse.
  • Shurikens are great for knocking fleeing enemies into obstacles
  • Invading mines with Smoke Bomb has great potential since the slowness and anti-critical hit effect can prevent retaliation from Miners trying to survive.
  • Think of the Shurikens as arrows, acting as a mini bow-spam. They do minimal damage, but they deal knockback, slowing down anyone hit by them. Use them in the middle of a fight to turn a fight around.
