Gum Weapon Parameter Adjustments
The Ninjala development team is dedicated to ensuring that players can enjoy a wide variety of battling styles.
After careful observation of winning percentages and popularity by gum weapon and Shinobi Cards, we have implemented a host of balance adjustments.
These adjustments focus on reducing the currently overwhelming power of Pop Eye and Cerberus, as well as strengthening some Specials and Alter Specials that felt underpowered.
In addition, we have implemented a number of adjustments to each type of Ninjutsu as well.
We hope these refinements will allow players to continue to enjoy diverse styles of play in Ninjala battles.

-Increased the damage of Froggy Block.
Although Froggy Block excels at disrupting opponents, its damage was a little unreliable. As a result, it has been strengthened.
Now, it should defeat opponents more easily than before, especially with the attack buff from Rough and Tumble Style.
| SK8 Hammer | Sushi Axe | GR8 Gear |
|---|---|---|

-Shortened the cooldown time of Super Strength Strike.
Super Strength Strike stands out from Power Buster thanks to its ability to attack opponents from a distance, but the long cooldown time made effective crowd control difficult. The cooldown time has been shortened to address this.
It can now be used more freely, but will still leave you vulnerable if you miss or if your opponent closes the distance, so please choose the Special that fits your playstyle best.
| Pop Eye | Cerberus |

-The speed of Gum Boost has been slowed.
-The following adjustments have been made to Dragon God Motor:
Decreased damage.
Extended cooldown time.
Despite the fact that it should be at a disadvantage against weapons that excel at mid- to long-ranged attacks, Dragon God Motor has consistently had high usage and win rates across the previous two seasons.
Dragon God Motor can be used to both fight players and destroy drones effectively. Thus, we have concluded that the damage dealt when it is active was too high and, as a result, have weakened it.
Furthermore, because the cooldown time has been extended, players will now have to choose whether they want to use Dragon God Motor to destroy drones or try to defeat other players.
Overall mobility was too high considering its drone destruction capabilities (even when Dragon God Motor was not active), so its Gum Boost has been slowed as well.
Baiting Shark
-Reduced the time it takes for scrolls to disappear after being placed.
The scrolls were a bit too much of a threat to other players.
Blast Barrier
-Increased the damage of Shockwave.
-Increased the amount of Ninjutsu Gauge required to activate.
With the addition of the Slash Kicks X in Season 13, the likelihood that players will have a barrier active has increased across all Ninjala battles.
Especially in Team Battles where the combination of Paw-xing Gloves and Slash Kicks X is a choice with little to no drawbacks, players can aim for near-permanent barriers by the mid to late stages of battle. We have made adjustments to address this.
With these adjustments, not only will the first usage occur later due to the increased activation cost, but the overall number of times barriers can be used in a battle will decrease.
Waiting for your allies' barriers to disappear means that activation will occur even later and it will become more difficult to effectively keep using Ninjutsu. This ensures that teams will have to be careful if several players are using weapons with Blast Barrier.
In order to balance the increased cost, the damage of Shockwave has been increased so that the player who activated the barrier can use it more effectively as a finisher.
Super Fling
-Increased the amount of Ninjutsu Gauge required to activate.
The activation cost was a bit too low for its power, so the cost has been increased.
