Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 4.9

Shinobis are an important support for Ninjas to boost their attack speed and pierce, particularly due to the generally low pierce of Ninjas. During late-game, max Shinobi stacks are important for Master Bomber Grandmaster Ninja, and Bloonjitsus to reach maximum DPS, and for Master Bomber to increase stun reliability and grouped control. Max stacks is much easier in Battles 2, limiting its restriction on less optimal Ninja maps, hence the full 10 stacks can be acquired comfortably. Several nearby Shinobis can be used to support an Alch-buffed Bloonjitsu for consistency against MOABs and grouped rushes.

For crosspaths, 1-3-0 is preferrable if going for coverage, 0-3-0 is enough if just wanting the buff, while 0-3-2 can work well with external buffs to damage and attack speed like Permanent Brew.

  •   Overall cost reduced by $225 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  •   Overall cost reduced by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
These changes buff 0xx Ninja upgrades while leaving 1xx Ninja upgrades unchanged. One major reason for this is so that 023 Ninja can be slightly more dependable.
— Update notes
  •   Shuriken attack: cooldown reduced ― 0.7s → 0.62s
Shinobi's buffs are too strong right now and the overall strategy becomes extremely powerful after round 20.
— Update notes
  •   Attack speed modifier reduced ― +15% → +10%
  •   Pierce modifier reduced ― +15% → +10%

Version 4.12 (OTA update 1)
