ANNOUNCE 7/22/2014 10:03:01 AM Ninjas are neither seen nor heard. They stalk from the shadows and strike without warning. They are deadly, but hold to an ancient set of principles, a code they will not break. With the new Ninja Talent, now you too can become a master of the night.

New Talent – Ninja

• As your active Talent, you’ll gain Strength and Will more quickly.
• Earn 2x EXP when training Ninja skills.
• New Characters receive the “Shadow in the Darkness” beginner title.
• Entering Combat Mode allows you to run swiftly.

New Weapon Type - Shuriken

• Equipping Shuriken-type weapons will allow you to utilize special Ninja skills.
• The Spiral Shuriken can be obtained through the Ninja beginner's tutorial quest or from an NPC that sells weapons.
• Blacksmiths can now learn how to create Hagi's and Anju's Shuriken from Blacksmith Manuals.
• Operates as a melee and range weapon.

New Skills

  • Must have a Shuriken equipped to train the skill

  • Charge up the skill and target an enemy to strike
  • Charge up your Shuriken to strike multiple enemies in range
• Shadow Cloak
  
  • Vanish into the night, avoiding harm (increases running speed while active)
  • If you manually cancel the skill, you'll reappear from the shadows and generate a tornado
  • Enemies hit with the tornado will receive damage and be knocked back
  • Once the tornado dissipates, it will stun the enemy
• Explosive Kunai
  
  • Deploy an explosive trap on the ground
  • Damages enemies that run over it

• Shadow Bind
  
  • Select the ground near an enemy to call upon the shadows
  • Shadow beings will rise from the ground to stun nearby foes
• Sakura Abyss
  
  • Hold and charge your magic to blast monsters with nature’s fury
  • As you continue the charge, the range and damage increases
  • Enemies in range will be damaged
  • Charging the skill will leave you vulnerable to attacks
• Smokescreen
  
  • Select the ground near an enemy to cast a thick fog
  • The fog will cloud the enemy’s vision and lower their defense

Misc.

• Players who have at least 10 Weapon Fragments from the Shadowy Talents Event will receive a Starblade Shuriken in exchange.

NEENJA IS HERE!

The Ninja thing looks neat =3 I'm tempted to make my character a ninja for a while...but I probably won't lol

It's a shame that only brand new players got 6 character cards by default T^T my 1 character can't be everything, and I already like Battle Alchemy too much.
