Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 52.2

Sharp Shurikens is impactful for the Ninja's early-game pierce, especially when crosspathed. Since the extra pierce only affects the shuriken, Seeking Shuriken's homing improves its cleanup against spaced out Bloons.

For Tier 3 and above crosspaths, Sharp Shurikens is not so important. The second path only uses it to improve its consistency against groups. Flash Bomb and above only benefit from their bonus stunned/sticky bonuses.

  • Nerf "[S]hould no longer be able to occasionally shoot with an infinite range in specific setups" (bug fix)
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.
— Update notes
  • Buff Camo Prioritization filter added
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.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Range decreased ― 47 units → 40 units
    • Neutral Seeking Shuriken crosspath is unchanged
While a great early game option, Ninja generally struggles with dominant crosspathing choices and also has relatively poor base tower value. Without going into every single change, T3s onward remain relatively unchanged with a lot of prices below T3 being moved around from less favorable crosspaths into better/higher tier upgrades.
— Update notes
  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
2-0-2, 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5
  • Nerf Caltrop attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 2.728s → 2.73s (attack speed reduced by 0.07%)
2-0-4, 2-0-5
  • Nerf Sticky Bomb attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 3.1s → 3.15s (attack speed reduced by 1.59%)
2-0-5
  • Buff Sticky Bomb: Attack cooldown reduced ― 3.15s → 1.575s (attack speed increased by 100%)
