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 works favorably with extra pierce versus spaced out bloons. For other crosspaths, Sharp Shurikens is not so important, as it only affects shuriken pierce; middle-path upgrades only need it for the higher-pierce Distraction and Counter-Espionage, and for Flash Bomb and above their bonus stunned/sticky damage is optional at T3 and T4 and improves cleanup against groups of bloons, but helpful for T5 due to the significant damage bonus.

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 38.0

“

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

”

•  Range decreased ― 47 units → 40 units
  •  Seeking Shuriken crosspath is unchanged

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

”

•  Overall cost reduced by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)

2-0-2, 2-0-3, 2-0-4, 2-0-5

•  Caltrop attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 2.728s → 2.73s (attack speed reduced by 0.07%)

2-0-4, 2-0-5

•  Sticky Bomb attack: Attack cooldown increased ― 3.1s → 3.15s (attack speed reduced by 1.59%)

Version 47.0

2-0-5

•  Sticky Bomb: Attack cooldown reduced ― 3.15s → 1.575s (attack speed increased by 100%)
