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.
SK8 Hammer, Sushi Axe, and GR8 Gear, as well as Iron Noise and Drum Beat will be strengthened due to their low winning percentages in Battle Royale, while Extreme Motor, DJ Scratch, and the incredibly powerful Gum Ninjutsu, Worst Night-mare, will be weakened.
In addition, we have implemented a number of adjustments to each type of Gum Shoot as well.
We hope these refinements will allow players to continue to enjoy diverse styles of play in Ninjala battles.
| IPPON Katana | Scroll Blade | Shinobuzz Paper Fan |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
・Extended cooldown time for Charging Slash.
・Slightly decreased damage dealt from wide attacks.
・Increased the health of Shinobuzz Paper Fan.
Since these are very high mobility weapons, their attack capabilities have been lowered slightly.
Gum Shoot and Ninjutsu have also been adjusted as necessary, and due to the weakening of Gum Laser, the health of Shinobuzz Paper Fan has been increased.
| SK8 Hammer | Sushi Axe | GR8 Gear |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
・Shortened the cooldown time of Power Buster.
・Increased back attack damage.
・Increased the health of GR8 Gear.
Since Gum Boost was slower than other weapons, its attack and drone-destroying ability have been strengthened.
Gum Shoot and Ninjutsu have also been adjusted as necessary, and due to the weakening of Gum Launcher, the health of GR8 Gear has been increased.
| Iron Noise | Drum Beat |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Shortened the cooldown time of Echoing Scream.
・Slightly increased damage resulting from normal attacks.
These weapons also had slower Gum Boost speed than other weapons, so their attack has been increased.
| Pop Eye | Cerberus |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Shortened the cooldown time of Full-Throttle Field.
Since it was difficult to get a high score, the cooldown time of its Special has been shortened to make this weapon stronger.
This will make it easier to get a high score by battling near drones and recovering health.
| ASAKUSA Wheel |
|---|
 |
・Health has been decreased.
Gum Shoot and Ninjutsu have also been adjusted as necessary, and due to the strengthening of Gum Launcher, health has been decreased.
| Extreme Motor | DJ Scratch |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- The following adjustments have been made to "Bumpy Accelerator":
Cooldown time has been extended.
The explosion that occurs upon activating Bumpy Accelerator can now be guarded against.
Reduced ninjutsu gauge rate of increase for Turbo.
Increased ninjutsu gauge rate of increase for Attack.
Reduced ninjutsu gauge rate of increase for attacks other than Turbo and Attack.
・Slightly decreased damage dealt from wide attacks.
Bumpy Accelerator could be used to aggressively claim drones, and could only be stopped by a few weapon attacks and Shinobi Cards, so it has been weakened.
| Mellow à la Mode | Trick Ball |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Decreased the downtime of the following attacks.
Back attack blasts
Yo-yo Attack return hits
Yo-yo Gum Break return hits
Follow-up attacks would unintentionally miss when your opponent was downed, so the downtime for these attacks has been decreased in order to give you a better chance of defeating opponents with them.
| Matsuri Board | Camu Camu Plate |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Adjusted the knockback of the following attacks.
1st stage of normal attacks
1st stage of back attacks
Follow-up attacks would not hit if your opponent moved away during a combo, so the knockback for these attacks has been adjusted in order to prevent them from missing.
| Paw-xing Gloves | Ogre Gloves |
|---|---|
 |
 |
・Damage has been increased for the following attacks.
Big weapon wide attack charge Lv 1
Big weapon wide attack charge Lv 2
Big weapon wide attack charge Lv 3
Big weapon wide attack charge MAX
Big weapon wide attack charge MAX when Overflowing Power is active
Their ability to finish off enemies was lacking in comparison to other weapons, therefore the damage dealt by wide attacks from each type of big weapon has been increased so they can be used to fight for drones more easily.
Worst Night-mare
・Damage has been decreased.
Worst Night-mare had a lot of flexibility in usage and its effects lasted a long time, so its damage has been decreased to lower its power.
Gum Launcher
・Cooldown time has been extended for large size.
Up until now, Gum Shoots that could completely erase Gum Launcher, such as Gum Net and Gum Laser, have had their power decreased.
This caused Gum Launcher's performance to end up higher overall, so its power has been slightly lowered.
Gum Balloon
・Increased projectile speed.
・Shortened the cooldown time of small size and medium size.
・Adjusted the position at which large size appears.
Power was insufficient compared to other Gum Shoots, therefore it has been adjusted so that it is easier to build combos overall.
The position at which large balloons appear has also been adjusted so it is easier to corner the enemy.
Gum Searcher
・Damage has been increased.
・Shortened the cooldown time of small size and medium size.
Power was insufficient compared to other Gum Shoots, therefore the cooldown time of small size and medium size has been shortened so it is easier to use when cornering enemies.
Damage has also been increased so it is stronger when used to build combos.
Gum Ghost
・Increased projectile speed.
・Reduced cooldown time.
Power was insufficient compared to other Gum Shoots, therefore projectile speed and cooldown time have been improved so it is easier to use when cornering enemies.
Gum Laser
・The following adjustments have been made to medium size:
Decreased damage.
Cooldown time has been reduced.
・Cooldown time has been extended for large size.
It was possible to pierce drones and capture enemies, but we have determined that it is too strong when compared to other Gum Shoots so its power has been slightly weakened.
Gum Shot
・Cooldown time has been extended for medium size and small size.
Gum Shoot excelled at Gum Bind at point-blank range, and was also able to pierce drones and capture enemies like Gum Laser above.
Its cooldown time was shorter than other Gum Shoots since its range was short, but since it makes up for that in power, its cooldown time has been set to be the same as other Gum Shoots.
