Grandmaster Ninja without buffs is extremely inefficient for its cost, in fact far more inefficient than multiple Bloonjitsus, but this is compensated by allowing the player to focus all buffs on it, saving plenty of space particularly with Shinobi Tactics spam providing the majority of its true potential.
Bottom crosspaths are the best for Grandmaster Ninja, allowing shurikens to maximize pierce, and Caltrops can do some extra single-target damage. Masses of Shinobis do the role of blowback and decamo far more efficiently, making the middle crosspath Grandmaster mostly redundant.
When max buffed with all debuffs active on bloons, the Grandmaster Ninja is one of the highest DPS towers in Freeplay, even outdamaging Temples (and the Dart Paragon, though this is map dependent).

Pierce increased ― 4 → 6
"[S]hould no longer be able to occasionally shoot with an infinite range in specific setups" (bug fix)
- 5-0-2
- Grandmaster Ninja now reduces pierce of caltrops by 1 instead of increasing it by 2 (bug)
Overall pierce with this crosspath is unchanged (due to changes to Caltrops' base stats)
- Shuriken: damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Shuriken: attack cooldown increased ― 0.1s → 0.217s
- Shuriken: pierce reduced ― 6 → 4
“
As ninja is the ‘Camo Specialist’ and has been since inception, it is the only tower that will unlock Camo Prioritization on the base tower.

- Camo Prioritization filter added
“
Ironing out Caltrop inconsistency & power a little on top and bottom T5s, but also as frequently unused caltrops clutter up the screen and cause extra lag we want to balance out their lifespan to reduce the number always on screen and make them no longer last longer than the base Spike Factory.

- 5-0-2
- Caltrop: Pierce increased ― 5 → 6
“
We’re mindful that this has been in place since launch, but still think this change could lead to more balanced crosspath Ninja play for casual and for apex players. Ninja's 1xx feels like it does too much, granting both range and attack speed to all crosspaths, so these benefits are now being split apart.

- Range decreased ― 57 units → 50 units

- Caltrop attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 2.728s → 2.73s (attack speed reduced by 0.07%)
- 5-2-0
- Counter-Espionage now grants the main attack +4 damage to Camo Bloons (undocumented)
