Version 11.0

•  "[S]hould no longer be able to occasionally shoot with an infinite range in specific setups" (bug fix)

Version 28.0

“

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

”

•  Camo Prioritization filter added

Version 43.0

“

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

”

•  Cost reduced ― $500 → $400
•  Shuriken: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.62s
