Distraction is quite unreliable as a lower-tier upgrade, having very low pierce and low blowback chance. It's only in large groups, such as for the T3 Shinobi Tactics, that the blowback effect becomes noticeable enough to be reliable.

| “ | 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 |

- Blowback no longer works on Bloons near the entrance (bug fix)
| “ | For an early game Distraction improvement the consistency of blowbacks is being averaged out more with increased minimum distance but reduced maximum, in many cases there would not actually be 250 units of track length in front of defenses to be blown back across anyway so the overall average distance is slightly lower. More at the mid to endgame we are also weakening distraction distance against Ceramics specifically as by this point Ninja have stacked so much speed and projectiles the consistency doesn’t matter anymore. Finally, distraction values for secondary projectiles are being modified, as Distraction chance as it has existed was never balanced around more than the main attack — Update notes |

Distraction blowback range normalized (all attacks) ― 10-250 units → 100-150 units- Distraction distance applies to Ceramics at 0.5x
- Note: New distraction distance is 50-75 units
- 0-1-2, 0-1-3, 0-1-4, 0-1-5
- Caltrop: distraction chance reduced ― 15% → 10%
- 0-1-3, 0-1-4, 0-1-5
- Flash Bomb: distraction chance increased ― 15% → 30%
| “ | 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 |
” |
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $350 → $250
- Overall cost reduced by $200 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Main attack: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.62s (attack speed increased by 12.9%)
- Note: Attack cooldown with Ninja Discipline is unchanged
| “ | A few attacks had been missed on the Ninja’s last distraction change and have now had their distraction distance properly standardized. — Update notes |
” |
- 0-1-4, 0-1-5
- Sticky Bomb explosion: Blowback distance changed ― 10−300 units → 100−150 units
