Ninjala – Version 2.1 Update<\/p>\n

Gum Weapon Parameter Adjustments
<\/strong>The Ninjala development team is dedicated to ensuring that players can enjoy a wide variety of battling styles. After careful observation of winning percentages by gum weapon and weapon popularity, we have implemented a host of balance adjustments.
In addition to revising hitstop to improve the overall tempo of battle, we\u2019ve made adjustments to the \u201cSK8 Hammer\u201d and \u201cSushi Axe\u201d weapons, which have demonstrated a disproportionately high usage and victory rate.
We hope these refinements will allow players to better enjoy the diversity that Ninjala battles offer.<\/p>\n

The strength of back attacks has been reduced
<\/strong>The purpose of this adjustment is to slow the speed at which drones can be destroyed.
We have determined that using Gum Grenade followed by a back attack has allowed Sushi Axe wielders to destroy drones with excessive speed right from the beginning of battles, giving them an unfair advantage particularly in Battle Royale matches.
By reducing the strength of back attacks, it will no longer be possible to destroy drones with a medium weapon simply by the combination of Gum Grenade and a back attack.
As the relative strength compared to other gum weapons balances out in the later stages when most players have big weapons, we have set the damage so that it will still be possible to destroy drones in the traditional way with a big weapon.
Their explosive strength as big weapons and benefits in team battles are still intact, so we hope players will continue to enjoy the destruction power of the SK8 Hammer and Sushi Axe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
