Sneaky ninja fortnite5/9/2023 To sum up, Pick your fights “thoughtfully”, don’t spam ability just because you can. ![]() ![]() Obviously there are some exceptions to this rule, but it’s a dam good one to try to adhere to. Pick a number that’s right for you, and commit to it. I typically will allow myself short sprints At the most once my energy bar hits 50 I stop. It’s a tough habit to get into with all the games out there where you sprint everywhere. REMEMBER TIP #7!!! Without energy, you at risk of letting some soldier come by and they will be all like “Sigh, gotta pick up the ninja, again.” No sir! Don’t give those smug SoB’s the satisfaction! Sprint –only-when it’s CRITICAL. Speaking of running… Ninjas are CRAZY fast, over short distances (like dwarves! P) It’s really tempting to sprint around everywhere with them. If ones pants are down, I recommend you have both your hands firmly on your pocket rocket launcher. No matter how good you are, you will occasionally be caught with your pants down. This is so you can ESCAPE a cluster fuck. Have a grenade launcher, or rocket equipped always. The longer you go without taking a pounding, the longer you are able to kill husks!ĭo not melee bee keepers! Just don’t! Please. Your shield and health are a resource! Don’t squander it. Don’t Melee! Yes, you probably can kill more than 3 of them in melee, but you will take DAMAGE. If you are facing more than 3 husks at close range, use a gun. Pull the trigger till it goes click, whip out your sword and finish off the stragglers. Melee is great as a finisher on an already weakened opponent (or flingers). That’s great! It means you can kill things a TINY bit faster than everyone else in melee! But Melee is still not a great way to kill a ton of husks Yes, a lot of ninjas have some inherent melee weapons damage bonus. You’d be amazed on how often you will drop targets that you had almost killed with your gun. I typically throw them, empty my gun, throw them again, reload, rinse, and repeat. Your Melee heavy attack is a trap (most of the time) It’s not worth the amount of energy you have to dump into it. Once it goes, you are incredibly vulnerable. Then you will probably blame the class, or the Devs! Evil Devs! But… you are dead because you were stupid. To paraphrase my main man Tim Gunn from project runway…”Use your powers THOUGHTFULLY” Because you don’t, you will be dead. Don’t spam your abilities just because the timer is up. Don’t overcommit and get caught with your pants down. Make sure you use the efficiently!ĮNERGY! OMG ENERGY! Keep an eye on this KEY and critical resource. Your skills, or powers, are what define you as a NINJA. It’s either to clear the popcorn (easy to kill lower health husks) with dragon slash, or to control a chokepoint with Crescent kicks and smoke bomb. Your secondary role depends on your skillset. Use your speed (if you didn’t know, ninjas run sprint faster than any other class) and FLANK. In this ninjas opinion it is your # 1 job! BUT…don’t be stupid about it. ![]() Speaking of a limited situation…as an ASSASIN, go assassinate key targets. Don’t force a square peg in a round hole. ![]() Melee weapons are only great in –limited- situations. Yes, there are swords and other melee weapons. If you don’t die, you will be so badly banged up that you will not be able to do much besides hide in the back. COVER IS LIFE! At higher levels it might be tempting to dragon slash or charge into a crowd. No matter what you are doing make sure you are aware of where there is something you can hide behind. (Surprise! Stonewood is a tutorial, all of it!)ĭO NOT OVERCOMMIT. But now that you are out of that rather lengthy tutorial…you won’t. Yes, when you were in Stonewood and lower level Plankerton, you were able to massacre everything! You were a virtual god! Double the combat score of other characters! Congrats. Salesninja’s tips on how to NINJA LIKE A PIMP. In the mean time, since no one knows when or even IF that will happen, this is my attempt to allow my Ninjas to thrive! Please save you ninjas suck please buff commentary for the NUMEROUS other threads with that as a focus.Īnd now, back to our regularly scheduled program: I know there are a lot of people out there that want the class to get buffed/fixed. If you have tips or suggestions please feel free to post them!Īlso, the main intention of this post is to help my fellow ninjas get everything they can out of what is becoming my favorite class. Assassins are clever, sneaky, fight dirty and when used properly they can be amazing! Amazing, and frikkin FUN. Are they pointy instruments of death? Sometimes. They are perceived as underpowered (Maybe they are? Not convinced on that.) I am going to try to put together some thoughts, opinions, and whatnots to try to help people get the mist out of this fun and interesting class.
