Ninja

Dev Note Ninja had to include different skills with bleeding, burn, and poison effects to achieve meaningful damage over time effects. With this change, the damage over time effects are unified into a single poison effect, allowing even one skill hit to hinder HP recovery for the duration. Additionally, with the recent special evasion update, overall Max HP and HP Recovery have increased, so poison has been changed to deal high damage over a short period. This adjustment aims to highlight Ninja Succession's characteristic of pressuring opponents with damage over time.

Dev Note We've increased the variety of main skill choices when attempting debuff skills after engaging multiple enemies at once. As before, you can aim for debuffs immediately upon entry with Murderous Intent, opt for Bloodthirst: Katana Shower for advantageous mass suppression, or choose Drastic Measure for a reliable second debuff effect. Additionally, we've changed the Black Spirit's Rage consumption for Black Spirit: Sura ChaoSpree to 50%, allowing for mass suppression attempts when Black Spirit's Rage is available.
